Why China Must Be Held Accountable for the Coronavirus Pandemic

[FBInCIAnNSATerroristSlayer]

China SHOULD BE and MUST BE held accountable for the Corona virus Pandemic.

Rest of the world should get their act together and FORCE the ARROGANT
Chinese and the ARROGANT Bible thumping and Koran thumping filth to STOP
EATING every animal that moves.

UN should seriously create a short list of animals that can be consumed
by "human filth". Any one who violates it should be prosecuted and
severely punished.

Why China Must Be Held Accountable for the Coronavirus Pandemic

By Michael Auslin

March 31, 2020 6:30 AM

For the sake of morality, political governance, and the future, the
world must ensure that the Chinese regime pays for its malfeasance.

he Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging a ferocious, global
propaganda campaign designed to deflect blame for the origin and spread
of the COVID-19 outbreak from Wuhan, China. Moreover, Beijing is trying
to take advantage of the pandemic to increase its global standing and
influence. There are three main reasons why the world must hold the CCP
accountable for the first global pandemic in a century.
Morality

The first reason the CCP must be held accountable for the pandemic is
that morality demands it. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s regime has
refused to accept responsibility for allowing the epidemic to spread
uncontrolled, first in Wuhan, then throughout China, and finally beyond
its borders to the rest of the world. Chinese officials knew of the
seriousness of the pandemic as early as December, yet waited weeks to
begin restricting travel, allowing millions of Wuhan residents to visit
relatives elsewhere in the country and abroad for Lunar New Year
celebrations, spreading the virus as they went. British scientists have
argued that if Beijing had acted just three weeks earlier, it could have
reduced the spread of the virus by 95 percent.


We also know that in the time before the outbreak’s seriousness became
apparent outside China, the CCP destroyed laboratory samples and
punished the brave doctors and citizens who tried to warn their
countrymen and the world about the pathogen, while refusing foreign
offers of help. We are almost certain that Beijing dramatically
underreported the number of deaths in Wuhan, and is no longer reporting
new infections in China. Leaked photos have shown huge lines of Chinese
waiting for the cremated remains of their loved ones in Wuhan, and
widely shared calculations on social media of crematoria activity
estimate up to 46,000 deaths in Wuhan alone, far above the country’s
official death toll of just 3,300. Riots are breaking out as people
desperate to leave Wuhan’s Hubei province are stopped at internal
checkpoints.

In short, the CCP, which for years has claimed to be a responsible
member of the global community, showed its true colors when this crisis
hit. It can no longer be denied that Xi’s regime is a danger to the
world. Justice demands it be held morally culpable for its dangerous and
callous behavior.

Global Governance

The second reason that Beijing must be held accountable is a political
one: The CCP’s actions have gravely undermined global political
governance. As legal expert James Kraska has noted, China was morally
and legally bound, as a party to the 2005 International Health
Regulations, to “provide expedited, timely, accurate, and sufficiently
detailed information to [the World Health Organization] about . . .
potential public health emergencies” such as the coronavirus. Instead of
doing so in this case, Beijing actively misled the WHO about the crucial
fact that the pathogen was transmitted between humans. The result is
that Xi can no longer credibly claim the CCP adheres to international
law, and that the corruptibility of long-standing intergovernmental
organizations such as the WHO is more apparent than ever.

that Xi can no longer credibly claim the CCP adheres to international
law, and that the corruptibility of long-standing intergovernmental
organizations such as the WHO is more apparent than ever.

Moreover, despite being portrayed as a selfless provider of medical aid
to other affected countries, Beijing is actually reaping hundreds of
millions in profits by selling equipment to panic-stricken governments
abroad. Much of that is useless and is being returned by Spain, the
Czech Republic, and Malaysia, among other countries. This sort of thing
is typical of the least altruistic regime on earth, and worse may be on
the way: Xi’s government will likely expect political favors from the
countries it has “aided” during the crisis, the same way that aid
recipient Greece was pressured to block an EU statement on Chinese human
rights in 2017.

Those who believe that good global governance, however flawed, is an
important tool for maintaining international peace and for contributing
to development and growth should be appalled at how the CCP is
undermining the liberal international architecture and suborning global
institutions to its will. The normalization of such misbehavior cannot
be allowed to stand.

The third reason Beijing must be held responsible is to prevent another
pandemic from ravaging the world in the future. As we saw in the 2014
Ebola outbreak in Dallas, Texas, and are seeing again now, the era of
globalization has allowed once-isolated pathogens to leap across
national boundaries. Dr. Anthony Fauci of the CDC is among many who have
pointed out that Italy has been devastated by the Wuhan coronavirus
partly because it hosts a huge number of Chinese tourists as well as
workers in the northern manufacturing regions where the virus emerged.
In all, 310,000 Chinese live in Italy, and many returned there after
visiting China for the Lunar New Year, spreading the virus to their
adopted home country. This was, again, the fault of CCP officials, who
failed to implement the proper travel restrictions despite knowing of
the outbreak’s seriousness.

If Beijing escapes blame for its failure to curb the coronavirus
pandemic, its lies, and its attempts to cover up the pathogen’s
seriousness — or, worse yet, if it actually earns global plaudits for
its actions — then no country will feel the need to be honest with the
world when another epidemic breaks out, and the same deadly fiasco will
repeat itself. Meanwhile, an emboldened CCP will grow only more
aggressive and repressive, having learned that it can fool and bully the
world into submission. Quite simply, if nation states do not understand
that there will be repercussions for such malfeasance, then our
globalized world will suffer more coronavirus-style pandemics in the future.

Beijing freely chose to deny the truth of COVID-19, and its governing
malpractice and incompetence helped unleashed a pandemic on the world.
For the sake of morality, political governance, and the future, the
world must speak truth to power, remember the facts, and condemn the
CCP’s actions.
