The Truth 丨 The 57-page "Anti-Chinese Script" of the Republican Party of the United States was exposed Netizens: A "MLM Brainwashing Manual"
Recently, the US political news website Politico reported that the Republican Senate National Committee has sent a 57-page memo to the campaigning body, suggesting that Republican candidates actively respond to China by responding to the new crown epidemic crisis and painstakingly provide them with " "Raiders" and "standard answers" to related questions. How does this memo teach Republican candidates to answer questions related to the epidemic?
"Hide the sky" trick: "Don't defend Trump, just attack China"
According to the Politico website, the contents of the memorandum ranged from how to link the Democratic candidate with the Chinese government to how to respond to various issues such as racist allegations.
The memorandum provides three main ways of attacking China: one is to slander "China covers up the truth and causes the virus to spread", the second is to accuse Democrats of "weak attitude toward China", and the third is to emphasize that Republicans will "cause the outbreak of China To promote sanctions against China. "
In response to some possible questions, the memo gives the prepared answer "intimately".
For example, when asked whether Trump should take responsibility for the ineffectiveness of the US epidemic, the memo suggested: "Don't justify Trump-attack China." The memo also declared: "The spread of the epidemic is China's fault, and the virus comes from China, China also concealed the epidemic. "
CNN recently found out that since January this year, President Trump has praised China at least 37 times. Among them, Trump wrote on social media as early as January 24 and January 27, "China has been working hard to control the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, and the United States very much appreciates their efforts and transparency", "We are talking to China about the epidemic Keep close communication. "
Today, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States has exceeded 960,000, and the cumulative number of deaths has exceeded 54,000. However, China is accused of concealing the epidemic. I wonder how the US should explain this inconsistent attitude?
In order to excuse the US government ’s ineffective response to the epidemic, the memo stated: “Based on China ’s epidemic data report, we cannot determine the scale and speed of the virus ’s spread.”
In fact, China officially notified the World Health Organization and countries including the United States on January 3; on January 11, the whole genome sequence of the new coronavirus was uploaded to the website to share data with the world and WHO. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation once issued a rhetorical question on the 17th: "Every country makes decisions based on information from WHO ... Why do other countries seem to do much better than the United States in responding to the epidemic?"
For some time in the past, some American politicians used the epidemic name to "discriminate" China, which led to increased racial discrimination in the United States against Chinese and even Asians, and the rise of violent crime.
When asked about China ’s suspected incitement to racism, the candidate was asked to answer: “No one accuses Chinese Americans. This is China ’s fault. They are“ covering up ”the virus and“ reporting ”its danger. This led to a pandemic, and they should be held responsible for it. "
In the face of allegations of racism, the memo stated: "For a long time, people have called them by their origin, and this time is no exception."
According to this theory, shouldn't the H1N1 flu that broke out in the United States in 2009 be renamed "America A"?
After the unblocking in Wuhan, a CNN reporter returned to Wuhan on the 22nd to show the audience what Wuhan is like now. The reporter was in Wuhan at the beginning of January. Three months later, he saw that everything is now returning to normal. "Now you can hear the sound of vehicles behind me, indicating that they are trying to return to normal life."
A number of American economists said in an interview with the headquarter recently that after the effective prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, various industries have resumed work in an orderly manner. The flexible and targeted economic policies adopted by the Chinese government have ensured a steady recovery of the Chinese economy.
I do n’t know if the American journalist ’s experience and the professional analysis of economists are the “Chinese people suffer more than anyone else” in the memo?
Behind the scenes of the memorandum, "anti-Chinese dumping pan has become a habit"
According to the Politico website, the memo was prepared by Brett O'Donnell's political consulting firm.
O'Donnell is a senior Republican strategist and has served as an adviser to US Secretary of State Pompeo and Arkansas Republican Federal Senator Tom Cotton. Pompeo has deliberately thrown out the "Wuhan virus" theory in public places and official statements of the State Council on many occasions and made various "dumping pot" speeches. Cotton also participated in many negative China-related bills passed by the US Congress.
The Republican Senate National Committee that sent this memo is dedicated to strengthening the Republican majority position in the US Senate. According to media reports, although it is unclear the specific identity of the promoter behind this memo, what can be determined is that the memo was sent by the Republican Senate National Committee, which shows that its content has been endorsed and acquiesced by the Republican "big brother".
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Opposes the US's use of China to obtain votes
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hua Chunying once satired that this memo is really a "good script", and I suggest everyone to read it.
On the 27th, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang responded: "The United States has kept saying that China is spreading false information. If the report is true, we can't help but ask who is distributing false information. China firmly opposes that some people in the United States force China Enter the electoral politics of the United States, talk about things in China, and get votes. We are also firmly opposed to some people in the United States attacking and discrediting China through the epidemic and harming China's interests. "
Netizens: Finding scapegoats is much easier than responding to the epidemic
After the exposure of this "smearing strategy", netizens called it a "MLM brainwashing manual", condemning the US government's "dumping the pot" of China's ineffectiveness in responding to the epidemic. Focusing on fighting the epidemic instead of looking for scapegoats everywhere, the US epidemic will not develop to the point where it is today.
Netizens: "It's much easier to find a scapegoat than to deal with the epidemic. The current situation is that the US government has no ability to deal with the epidemic, so it finds some conspiracy theories to mitigate their crimes."
Netizens: "This is the essence and culture of this administration: lies, deception, theft."
Netizens: "It's a magical American democracy, now we really understand it."
Netizens: "Translate for them: Be as racist as you can."
Netizens: "If this 57-page memo is about responding to the epidemic, then perhaps more than 50,000 Americans who died from the epidemic will not die."
