Interesting article outlining China’s very effective response to US claims about the “China Virus”:
Their cars might be rubbish but they’re up there with Russia when it comes to manipulating social and mainstream media.
Quote:Meanwhile, powerful voices in the US – from former President Trump to congressional Republicans – were working to rebrand COVID-19 as “the China virus,” amplifying fringe theories that it had been engineered by Chinese scientists.
Social media accounts that appeared to be pro-Trump or QAnon followers pushed the disinformation, repeatedly retweeting identical content that claimed China created the virus as a bioweapon, researchers at the Australia Institute’s Centre for Responsible Technology found.
As US rhetoric intensified, China went on the offensive. On February 22, People’s Daily ran a report highlighting speculation that the US military brought the virus to China, pushing the story globally through inserts in newspapers such as the Helsinki Times in Finland and the New Zealand Herald.
