Zhao Lijian from China’s foreign ministry is trying to blame the US for Covid19. He is suggesting that US military personnel in Wuhan brought the virus to China.
I’m not American so I am not someone defending my country with sarcasm. I just think it’s hilarious that they would try this. Instead of appointing a Minister of Propaganda...maybe appoint a Minister of apologies and try instigating some health code practices.

"Wuhan coronavirus" isn't racist. Hold China accountable. They refuse to stop wildlife trade and silence people who warned about the virus.
MrMichaelCalifornia
Changing the name does three things. Helps Chinese dictators use it as a tool to attack other countries.
MrMichaelCalifornia
Allows the Trump Admin to package their dozens of fuckups as some sort of Chinese problem or worse biological warfare.
MrMichaelCalifornia
It helps nationalist, racists, isolationist, and xenophobes achieve their idiotic goals. The virus has a name its Covid-19.
WilliamElse
But the name doesn't alert people to that specific situation. It simply tags the virus as being the fault of 'Chinese people' and will...

...do nothing to the Chinese government except give them fuel for their old "everyone bullies China" line. It will, however, lead to lots...

Take note that was "Wuhan Coronavirus" not "Chinese coronavirus". Not racist. Not to mention many international outlets referred it as such

..before Trump. It wont be the last. China keeps coddling wildlife traders and silencing people who report it. China should be accountable.
