CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 16, 2020
CHINA IS BLAMING THE UNITED STATES FOR STARTING THE CORONAVIRUS. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? I CAN. IT’S LIKE MUSLIM CLERICS BLAMING JEWS FOR AIDS.
A CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN ACCUSED THE U.S. ARMY OF SENDING THE VIRUS TO WUHAN. THE SPOKESMAN TWEETED THE ACCUSATION. IRONIC, BECAUSE THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS BANNED TWITTER IN THE COUNTRY.
ZHAO LIJAN OFFERED NO EVIDENCE FOR HIS CLAIM, BUT HIS COMMENTS FOLLOWED EARLIER CLAIMS THE VIRUS ORIGINATED OUTSIDE CHINA, WHICH, OF COURSE, IT DID NOT.
THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE CHINESE LEADERSHIP. IT SHOULD NOT BE BREAKING NEWS THAT COMMUNISTS LIE. IT’S PART OF THEIR HISTORY. THEY LIE TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND THEY LIE TO THE WORLD. CHINESE HEALTH STANDARDS ARE NOT EXACTLY THE BEST IN THE WORLD. AT FIRST, THE LEADERSHIP DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THEN THEY SAID IT IS UNDER CONTROL AND THE THREAT IS DIMINISHING. NOW THEY BLAME THE U.S.
THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO WASH THEIR HANDS OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY, TO USE A METAPHOR FOR ACTION PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS ADVISE US ALL TO TAKE. DON’T BELIEVE THEM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
