The liberal establishment media won’t stop crying racism over President Donald Trump’s use of the term, “Chinese Virus” when referring to the novel coronavirus.
You’d think a global pandemic that’s halted our entire economy would cause them to give political correctness a rest, but no. This past week, we’ve had to endure listening to democrats and liberal pundits accuse President Trump of inciting racism against Asian Americans ad nauseam. They want us to believe they are the ones who are standing up for minorities.
As a Chinese American and former Chinese national born in China, I’d like to set the record straight. The term, “Chinese Virus” is not racist. It doesn’t offend me one bit. In fact, as the Chinese Communist Party tries to deflect blame and even push a conspiracy theory that our own U.S. military started the virus, that is exactly what we need to call it.

thedailycaller--2020-03-23--Here’s How The Media Is Pushing Chinese Propaganda And Talking Points

Media pundits and publications have not only pushed Chinese propaganda amid the novel coronavirus pandemic , but praised the country as well for how it has handled the virus .
All of this comes despite numerous recorded events showing how China made early attempts to downplay the threat of the virus .
If authorities in China acted three weeks earlier , coronavirus cases may have been reduced by 95 % and its worldwide spread may have been limited , according to one March study .
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian has often used American media outlet ’ s reporting on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a Fox News article noted .
Zhao has peddled Chinese propaganda about the virus on Twitter .
He suggested in a March 12 tweet that the “ US military brought the epidemic to Wuhan.
” Zhao furthered Chinese propaganda by claiming on March 22 that the “ US CDC admitted some # COVID19 patients were misdiagnosed as flu during the 2019 flu season .
34 million infected & 20,000 died .

” The spokesman has also consistently tweeted or re-tweeted various articles from American news websites about the virus , Fox News reported .
Zhao has re-upped articles from The Washington Post , The New York Times and CBS News .
In one example , Zhao re-tweeted an article published March 20 by USA Today about President Donald Trump ’ s use of the phrase “ Chinese Virus.
” This article cites race and global health experts who allege that this term contributes to xenophobia .
China has repeatedly pressured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite official state media first calling it the “ Wuhan Virus.
” Numerous outlets have repeated this talking point , bashing Trump for calling the virus by where it originated .
Some of these media sources even used the phrases themselves before adopting China ’ s propaganda .

Twitter Says Chinese Spox’s Coronavirus Disinformation, Conspiracy Theories Don’t Violate Platform Policies

Chinese officials are not violating Twitter policies when they peddle in disinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding the coronavirus pandemic , a company representative said Monday .
Chinese state officials who spread propaganda online accusing the United States of planting coronavirus into Wuhan , China , are not violating Twitter ’ s terms of service , according to a company representative who spoke to the Daily Beast on condition of anonymity .
The representative did not provide a reason for not going on the record .
The representative cited language on its website stating : “ Direct interactions with fellow public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the day , or foreign policy saber-rattling on economic or military issues are generally not in violation of the Twitter Rules.
” Such language applies to recent examples of Chinese officials using the platform as a propaganda tool , the Daily Beast reported , citing the representative .
The policy allowing world officials to clobber each other also appears to allow them to distribute disinformation wantonly .
A Twitter spokeswoman confirmed the report to the Daily Caller News Foundation .
She did not provide a reason for not going on the record .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Remove Chinese Official ’ s Tweet Suggesting US Army Introduced Virus Into Wuhan ) Chinese senior official Lijian Zhao on March 12 tweet suggesting the United States is trying to covertly inject the virus into China does not violate Twitter rules , a company spokesman told the DCNF on March 12. .
“ When did Patient Zero appear in the United States ?
How many people are infected ?
What is the name of the hospital ?
” Zhao , deputy director of China ’ s Foreign Ministry Information Department , said in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the US military brought the epidemic to Wuhan.
” Zhao added : “ America needs to be transparent !
The United States owes us an explanation !
” Zhao also falsely stated in the tweet that Centers For Disease Control Robert Redfield was “ arrested ” before floating the conspiracy theory to his 317,000 followers .
Redfield was not apprehended .
Officials can use the platform for so-called saber-rattling , while distributing disinformation .
Zhao followed up that missive with another tweet Sunday suggesting the CDC “ admitted some of patients were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” “ If # COVID19 began last September , & US has been lack of testing ability , how many would have been infected ?
US should find out when patient zero appeared , ” Zhao added , implying that patient zero came from the United States .
Health officials say the virus began in China ’ s Wuhan region and expanded geometrically from there despite his suggestions otherwise .
Twitter has let other examples of misinformation slide as well .
The company appeared to give Tesla CEO Elon Musk told his Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essentially immune ” to coronavirus , or COVID-19 .
Twitter previously stated that such a claim was impermissible , yet it appeared to backtrack after Musk made his comment .

Chinese officials are not violating Twitter policies when they peddle in disinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, a company representative said Monday.
Chinese state officials who spread propaganda online accusing the United States of planting coronavirus into Wuhan, China, are not violating Twitter’s terms of service, according to a company representative who spoke to the Daily Beast on condition of anonymity.
The representative did not provide a reason for not going on the record.
The representative cited language on its website stating: “Direct interactions with fellow public figures, comments on political issues of the day, or foreign policy saber-rattling on economic or military issues are generally not in violation of the Twitter Rules.”
Such language applies to recent examples of Chinese officials using the platform as a propaganda tool, the Daily Beast reported, citing the representative. The policy allowing world officials to clobber each other also appears to allow them to distribute disinformation wantonly.
A Twitter spokeswoman confirmed the report to the Daily Caller News Foundation. She did not provide a reason for not going on the record. (RELATED: Twitter Won’t Remove Chinese Official’s Tweet Suggesting US Army Introduced Virus Into Wuhan)
Chinese senior official Lijian Zhao on March 12 tweet suggesting the United States is trying to covertly inject the virus into China does not violate Twitter rules, a company spokesman told the DCNF on March 12. .
“When did Patient Zero appear in the United States? How many people are infected? What is the name of the hospital?” Zhao, deputy director of China’s Foreign Ministry Information Department, said in the tweet. “It may be that the US military brought the epidemic to Wuhan.”
Zhao added: “America needs to be transparent! The United States owes us an explanation!” Zhao also falsely stated in the tweet that Centers For Disease Control Robert Redfield was “arrested” before floating the conspiracy theory to his 317,000 followers. Redfield was not apprehended.
Officials can use the platform for so-called saber-rattling, while distributing disinformation. Zhao followed up that missive with another tweet Sunday suggesting the CDC “admitted some of patients were misdiagnosed as flu during 2019 flu season.”
“If #COVID19 began last September, & US has been lack of testing ability, how many would have been infected? US should find out when patient zero appeared,” Zhao added, implying that patient zero came from the United States.
Health officials say the virus began in China’s Wuhan region and expanded geometrically from there despite his suggestions otherwise.
Twitter has let other examples of misinformation slide as well.
The company appeared to give Tesla CEO Elon Musk told his Twitter followers March 20 that children are “essentially immune” to coronavirus, or COVID-19. Twitter previously stated that such a claim was impermissible, yet it appeared to backtrack after Musk made his comment.
“We reviewed the Tweets, and they don’t violate our rules at this time. Please continue to share anything you think we should take a closer look at — we’ll continue to rely on trusted partners, such as health authorities, to flag content that is harmful,” Twitter said in a statement to Axios.

thedailycaller--2020-03-23--Wikipedia’s ‘Wuhan Virus’ Edit Battle Is Part Of A Growing Propaganda War Between China And The U.S.

President Trump and other Republicans were quick to label the pandemic the world is currently experiencing the , “ Chinese virus ” or “ Wuhan virus ” — based off of the coronavirus ’ point of origin .
They were chastised by swathes of the media , despite it being a relatively common convention , like “ Spanish flu.
” The debate raged on the nation ’ s websites , cable news channels , and editorial pages , but it also hit Wikipedia , where editors deliberated over whether to change the name from “ Spanish flu ” to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nationality .
Those who support the name change note that major health organizations don ’ t use the term “ Spanish flu , ” according to LaCorte News , and that referring to our current pandemic as “ Chinese ” is influenced by racism rather than a precedent set by the names of past outbreaks .
Chinese news outlets like Xinhua News Agency — which was designated a foreign mission of the People ’ s Republic of China by the State Department — prefer American politicians don ’ t refer to the coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ The virus does not have a nationality .
Using racist and xenophobic names to cast blame for the outbreak on other countries can only reveal politicians ’ irresponsibility and incompetence , ” the news outlet tweeted .
Democratic politicians and media commentators especially acted indignant toward those referring to the virus as a “ Chinese virus , ” insisting that no one refers to the “ Spanish flu ” as such .
David Frum , for instance : Wikipedia editors began mulling over whether to rename the site ’ s Spanish flu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic , ” and last week , a title request notice was appearing on the page , reading : “ It has been requested that the title of this article be changed to 1918 influenza pandemic … The page should not be moved unless the discussion is closed with a summary describing the consensus achieved in support of the move.
” As of Monday , the notice no longer appears , and the title of the page remains “ Spanish flu.
” Despite the immediate dangers of the virus — which include thousands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system , and economic collapse — the fixation on rhetoric and propaganda by Republicans , Democrats , commentators , and China itself has become an issue of international prominence .
China has expelled all U.S. journalists and in February , the U.S. State Department designated five Chinese media outlets as agents of the Chinese Communist Party .
James Poulos , the executive editor at the American Mind , told the Daily Caller that China has an acute interest in winning the war on rhetoric and in blaming the virus on America , something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Who knows who ’ s making the request , ” Poulous says , in reference to the Wikipedia name change request .
“ [ It ] would make sense if the request was coming from Chinese leadership or supported organs , or from well-meaning woke Americans who genuinely , though of course wrongly , believe that identifying COVID-19 with China is racist.
” China began pushing a new theory about the origins of the virus , placing blame on United States Army servicemen who visited Wuhan in October , the New York Times @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American elite has a similarly sharp interest in protecting and hardening their position as the ethical arbiters of public language , ” Poulos said .
“ What the elite can ’ t bear to face , however , is the reality that language-masters have face planted as leaders amid this crisis .
Their essential hollowness as people who think imagining and saying is more important than doing has been exposed .
Logically , for them , they ought to persist in their efforts even if China has propaganda aims that don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While it may not be the intention of otherwise well-meaning Americans to play into the talking points of the Chinese regime , China appears to have piggybacked off of discontent toward President Trump and China skeptics , accusing U.S. leadership of incompetence and racism towards the Chinese , largely through its state news agencies : The preoccupation with language during the coronavirus pandemic has also revealed an asymmetry between the values of those waging war against the use of “ Wuhan virus ” and the values of the Chinese Communist Party , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Uighur Muslims in its indoctrination camps , leaked documents revealed in 2019 .
( RELATED : Labor Rights Group Alleges Uyghur Muslims Made Lacoste Gloves In Internment Camps ) Shadi Hamid , a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute , pointed this out in a March 19 article he wrote in the Atlantic .
“ To hear Chinese spokespeople use the language of racism and prejudice is somewhat surreal , considering this is a regime that has put more than 1 million Muslims and ethnic minorities in ‘ reeducation ’ camps , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the use of the terms “ Chinese ” and “ Wuhan ” virus may be doing so in defense of Chinese people rather than the Chinese regime , the Chinese regime has co-opted this messaging to use for their own interests .
“ Of course , Americans will have to be vigilant against scapegoating Asians in general or the Chinese people in particular , ” Hamid writes .
“ With one of the highest infection rates and death tolls , Chinese citizens have suffered enough .
The Chinese leadership , however , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the matter on the “ Spanish flu ” vs. the “ 1918 flu pandemic ” duel , but rhetoric will likely remain a salient feature in the tension between the U.S. and China .

“The book is a candid and comprehensive personal account by Woody Allen of his life, ranging from his childhood in Brooklyn through his acclaimed career in film, theater, television, print and stand-up comedy, as well as exploring his relationships with family and friends,” Arcade, the new publisher, said in a statement to the AP.
“In this strange time, when truth is too often dismissed as ‘fake news,’ we as publishers prefer to give voice to a respected artist, rather than bow to those determined to silence him,” editor Jeannette Seaver said.
