Claims are a new trick to contain China
Russian Sinologist, current affairs critic, and writer Yuri Tavrovsky recently published an article entitled "Claims-New Tricks to Contain China" in the Coastal Frontier Edition of the Komsomolskaya Pravda. Real conspiracy.
The article mentions that the New Coronary Pneumonia pandemic is still spreading around the world, and the United States has become the epicenter. As we all know, American biological and medical technology is the world's most advanced. Obviously, behind the contrast between these shocking losses and the high-tech level, huge human errors are hidden. However, instead of correcting their own mistakes, some American politicians now try to put them directly on China. What the United States is pushing is almost a trial against China. At present, two states in the United States have filed a lawsuit against China, demanding monetary compensation. The US government claims that it was the Chinese that concealed the epidemic information that caused the virus to spread, so the US should claim compensation from the Chinese.
The article also wrote that the US media disseminated fake news that China should be responsible for the new crown virus, which was actually instructed by the US National Security Council. The South China Morning Post reported on the information leaked in the Washington Power Group. The National Security Council formulated and issued the “Instructions on the Publicity and Misleading of China ’s New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic in Wuhan” with the aim of shifting the White House ’s responsibility for the consequences of the New Coronary Pneumonia in the United States Responsibility, pass it on to China.
In recent months, the United States, which describes itself as "the world's greatest humanitarian", has stopped paying dues to the World Health Organization, a major international organization fighting public health disasters, forcing poor countries to fight the epidemic alone. The United States is also trying to buy and then monopolize the vaccine against the new coronavirus from its allies.
The article said that the famous "Spanish flu" caused the infection of 500 million people worldwide in 1918 and killed at least 50 million people. But the so-called "Spanish flu" did not start in Spain, but in the United States. There are data showing that the outbreak started in Kansas, and there are also data showing that the outbreak came from New York. Infected American soldiers brought the virus from the United States to the battlefield of World War I. In addition, the 2009 H1N1 flu epidemic also originated in the United States. Due to the inaction of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, infection has spread rapidly around the world, killing 152,000 to 575,000 people within a year. The United States reported to the World Health Organization only six months after the outbreak, and no measures were taken to isolate or restrict the movement of people. AIDS has also spread from the United States to the world. In 1969, the United States recorded the first case of AIDS symptoms. But it was not until 1981 that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the emergence of a new disease. In 1982, the World Health Organization named it "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome" (AIDS). No one calls these well-known epidemics "American diseases", but the United States is still trying to label the new coronavirus "Wuhan" or "China".
The article mentioned that although from the perspective of international law, several states in the United States have no basis in prosecuting China for the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, it has prompted the White House to take adventurous steps, and even some politicians have called for the United States to freeze including 1.1 trillion Chinese overseas assets including US Treasury bonds. The US Secretary of Commerce Ross attempted to use the epidemic to "punish China" and called on American companies to take advantage of the suspension of production of their subsidiaries, replace the supply chain with China, and bring production and jobs back to the United States.
The article stated that since China's fight against the epidemic, the US response has gone through multiple stages. At first, they claimed that the emergence of the epidemic marked the failure of the Chinese system. China ’s development plan, including the “Chinese Dream,” was about to fail. It also accused China of human rights violations, accused Wuhan of full closure of the city, the closure of borders and transportation routes, and personnel isolation measures. Wait.
Two months later, these measures proved to be very effective, and the US itself had to adopt the same method. At this time, the US turned to criticize Chinese virologists, accusing them of either negligently developing new vaccines or intentionally manufacturing biological weapons. Now we have reached a new stage-accusing China of being responsible for the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, suing for compensation, and threatening to freeze Chinese assets in the West.
The article believes that the United States took such a move that has no basis in international law or even violates at least logic and common sense, first of all because the Trump administration wants to keep its position in the White House. The spread of the epidemic in the United States not only caused a huge number of cases and deaths, but also caused unprecedented damage to the US economy, and the number of unemployed people has exceeded 26 million. All this makes the re-election of the seemingly confident election become precarious. The incumbents in the United States want to eliminate the public impression that their incompetence and mistakes have caused the epidemic to spread and the economic recession, and China has become the most convenient scapegoat. No wonder the Republican Senate Committee of the United States issued a 57-page detailed memorandum recommending that Republican candidates attack China to respond to the new pandemic pneumonia epidemic.
The United States' attempt to claim compensation from China is also a continuation and escalation of its policy of containing China. The National Security Council, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the State Department did this on the one hand because of the difficulties facing the US economy, and on the other hand because China apparently won the epidemic victory first and began to push the economy back into the upward path. Of course, the problem is not a claim, and it does not matter how many zeros are in the total compensation, because this attempt cannot succeed. At present, the United States is launching an ally to siege China, engage in psychological and public wars against China, and provoke China to make a fierce response in an attempt to isolate China.
The article emphasizes that a very important purpose of the US government is to prevent China from achieving a new victory in the future anti-epidemic process, just as it was during the 2008 financial crisis. At the time, to "rescue the financial system", governments of various countries invested trillions of dollars in liquidity in banks. The money did not support the real economy, but continued to maintain the status of the US global financial hegemony. Only China began to invest in the construction of railways and highways, municipal buildings and housing. Since then, China has laid the world ’s longest high-speed railway network, built stadiums and airports, and built new hospitals and universities.
The article finally emphasized that China, the United States, Russia, and all mankind do not need quarrels and disputes. All of us need to defeat the new crown virus as soon as possible, and we need a world without claims and the so-called "asset freeze".
