USA has more cases than any country in the world now. In fact, the total number of infections in USA are more than the rest of the top ten countries combined.
This has spurred a series of speculations and conspiracy theories among the general public and even the Western media as well – was this somehow planned by China?
Some people have gone as far as to say that even if not as a plan, this was somehow the fault of China for allowing this to spread while hiding the real information about the COVID-19 outbreak.
China kicked American reporters out, but why?
The rumours have been there all along, but it started when the Chinese government banned and expelled reporters from the Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
That is when American media began saying that the Chinese government is authoritarian, and it is suppressing the “independent” voices of journalism. Reports were floated that China tried to hide the outbreak, by downplaying the real number of coronavirus victims when it started during December in Wuhan.
While the American media slanders the Chinese government by accusing them of coverups, censorships, and suppression – there is a bigger elephant in the room which everyone is trying to cover up since it exposes a much uglier underbelly of our world.
Why was Italy the worst hit country after China?
To think of it, the Coronavirus first spread from China to the neighbouring countries such as Japan and South Korea – but then why Italy?
Italy and China do not have significant trade relations, neither is there a constant flue of tourists from one country to another. So what brought the virus to Italy of all places?
Italy doesn’t have enmity against China, so obviously there is no reason to think that China targeted Italy on purpose.
While the higher death rate is due to the fact that Italy has more older people than other countries, but the number of cases mounted at a staggering rate in Italy. So the real reason is something else, isn’t it?
The most exotic meat brought from China to Italy
An endangered species of anteaters is the most trafficked mammal in the world after humans. Their meat is sold at more than $600 per kg, and it is considered an exotic delicacy in most parts of the world.
France, USA and Northern Italy are some of the hubs where the Pangolin meat is brought from China and consumed in a variety of cuisines. This is something enjoyed by the elites of the elite, who can afford such an expensive indulgence at the risk of endangering an entire species.
Pangolins have been found to contain the various strains of Coronavirus, and while the mainstream media and the popular opinion has blamed it on bat soup. The real culprit is the Pangolin trade according to studies published in Nature.
However, this does not make a sensational story. It does not give the American capitalist-owned media a chance to pounce on China and blame their policies – while also preaching from their high horse of feigned superiority.
Why does USA have more infections than China now?
But consider this, USA has more cases than China now. It has failed to contain or control the outbreak, while death rates have mounted up to 400 per day.
While China’s response to the outbreak was swift, as they built hospitals and deployed well-equipped doctors to treat the pandemic. The privatized American healthcare system’s greed has taken it into shambles, and they can hardly treat or even test enough people in time.
While American media blames China for their actions, accusing them of framing a global image of faux paucity when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic – the American media itself has been downplaying the Pangolin angle since it’s not profitable for the American war industry.
China cannot be fully exonerated so
Although China is not really the culprit of everything that the Capitalist-owned media is accusing them of, there is something else that is horribly wrong here.
China is equally culpable as any western corporation – by allowing the trafficking and sale of pangolins which have brought the coronavirus into humans. But this is something that neither the Chinese media nor the western media will cover, since it hurts the interests of the worldwide elites involved in the trade and consumption of these animals.
