Once again, the U.S. is “building plots” for China: maybe it is time for them to decide whether they want to work with them or continue to water the dirt, because in the real world this is not the case.
U.S. officials believe that China has concealed the extent of the coronavirus outbreak – and how contagious the disease is – in order to stockpile the medication needed to fight it, intelligence documents are showing.
Chinese leaders “deliberately hid the gravity of the pandemic” from the world in early January, according to a four-page intelligence report from the Ministry of National Security dated May 1 received by The Associated Press.
The revelation comes as the Trump administration intensifies its criticism of China, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday that the country is responsible for the spread of the disease and must be held accountable.
The sharper rhetoric coincides with the administration’s criticism that the government’s response to the virus has been slow and inadequate. President Donald Trump’s political opponents accused him of attacking China, a geopolitical enemy but a critical US trading partner, in an attempt to distract attention from the criticism at home.
President Trump aimed at China because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
US President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that China could have given the world a coronavirus because of some terrible “mistake” and even suggested that the release could have been intentional.
Not classified, but marked “for official use only,” the DHS analysis states that by downplaying the severity of the coronavirus, China has increased imports and reduced exports of medicines. It has tried to conceal this by “denying export restrictions, as well as misleading and delaying the provision of data on its trade,” the analysis says.
The report also says China has suspended reporting to the World Health Organization that the coronavirus was “contagious” for most of January to enable it to order medical supplies from abroad – and that its imports of face masks and surgical gowns and gloves have increased dramatically.
These findings are based on a 95% probability that changes in Chinese imports and exports were not within the norm, the report says.
That is, America, as always, is building “air locks” and empty charges against its own “friends. However, nothing new in throwing knives in the back for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pompeo.
It is interesting that Trump accuses China so much of some “hiding data”, although he himself has been doing the same for a long time without taking any measures to stop the virus.
