China’s city of Wuhan is the place where SARS-CoV2 virus, the virus that causes Corona pneumonia, first appeared before the pandemic broke out and spread death around the globe.
The fact that Wuhan was the source of the SARS-CoV2 virus was not disputed until recently, when China questioned the origin of the virus, and blamed other countries.
Indeed, after suffering the darkest period, Beijing immediately sought to improve its image with “mask diplomacy” activities, polishing itself as a country that successfully dealed with the outbreak and works to save the world.
It is worth mentioning that China did not stop there, but recently stepped up its propaganda campaign to “seek to rewrite history” of the Covid-19, asserting that the virus causing this disease did not come from Wuhan.
Britain’s Guardian newspaper, Daily Wire, CNN, Al Jazeerah and many other international news agencies said in that effort, Beijing has imposed a new policy, requiring the inspection and censorship of research papers regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, including the root of the virus, to rewrite the story of the disease that has so far claimed the lives of more than 120,000 people in the world and infected nearly 2 million people as of April 14.
Sources have reported that China’s Ministry of Education, Science and Technology issued a new directive saying it will “strictly manage the corona virus tracing research records.”
Under this directive, scientists must submit research papers to the university’s scientific committee, which will be transferred to the Ministry of Science and Technology which will submit to the State Council for review.
The State Council will announce whether the school is allowed to publish research papers in scientific journals.
CNN said “Other references to the Covid-19 will be reviewed by the school’s academic committees, based on a number of criteria, such as the “academic value”of the study, and whether it is’ timely to allow it published or not.
Speaking to CNN on condition of anonymity, a Chinese researcher said imposing new rules on researchers was a worrying process that could hinder important scientific research in the future.
He said: “I believe this is a concerted effort by the Chinese authorities to control the story and promote propaganda so that people can believe that the Coronavirus outbreak did not be sourced from China.”
The new regulation appears on the website of Fudan University in Shanghai, one of China’s top universities.
CNN quoted a staff member of the Chinese Ministry of Education’s Science and Technology Department as saying the ministry had issued the directive, but said it was “an internal document,” not publicly available.
CNN reported that a few hours later, that news page of Fudan University was deleted.
The Chinese University of Geosciences in Wuhan also published a similar notice on the website. This page is also deleted, but the version stored in memory can still be accessed.
The information was mysteriously deleted, but according to the WION news agency, the message sent to the researchers was clear: “If participating in any research on Covid-19, it must follow the instructions of the goverment.”
China’s lack of transparency has been criticized as making other countries less alert and thus failing to keep up when the Covid-19 outbreaks occur in their countries.
In order to erase the negative image in the eyes of the world, China has polished itself as a “savior,” providing medical supplies to many European countries such as Italy, Spain, France and Greece. Greece and the Czech Republic ….
Professor Brahma Chellaney, a geopolitical expert at the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi, said that the Covid-19 pandemic must be “a wake-up call to the world that has long accepted it for China.” China has become the world’s factory that can control global supply chains.
Other analysts cautioned that from this experience, in the future, the international community should not “put all eggs in one basket” as before, but to diversify the sources.
On the other hand, a New American Security Center researcher, Rachel Rizzo, recommends that China’s “mask diplomacy” is gaining some success in several European countries, and is wary of the US and its allies in Europe should not let China take advantage of the opportunity to create divisions between sides of the Atlantic.
“This is an extremely favorable time for China to release soft power on a rift continent from within, moreover at a time when relations between Europe and the United States are not good,” said the researcher.
However, any sympathy China has gained through aid to Europe is temporary.
After all, when life and geopolitical issues return to normal, relations between China and Europe will still be fundamentally different. European leaders could hardly forget how China handled the pandemic, tried to hide information, even hide the presence of the epidemic in late 2019, and then launch a blind fire campaign to the roots of Coronavirus.”
China created Sars-CoV-2 virus from a laboratory in Wuhan to compete with the US.
Fox News USA on April 16 published an article titled “Sources believe that the new strain of corona virus originated from a laboratory in Wuhan and this is part of China’s efforts to compete with the US“
Many sources told Fox News that it is increasingly believed that the Covid-19 “originated in a laboratory in Wuhan, not as a biological weapon, but as part of China’s efforts to prove it. that China’s ability to identify and fight viruses is on par with or better than US capabilities.”
“This may be the most damaging government coverup of all time” – one of the sources said.
The sources believed that the virus was initially transmitted from bat to human and that “Patient No. 0” worked in the laboratory, then crept into the community in Wuhan.
The sources also detailed the initial efforts of researchers at the Wuhan laboratory. Sources say the blame for the Hoa Nam seafood market in Wuhan is China’s attempt to divert focus away from the Wuhan laboratory.
This week, the Washington Post newspaper also reported US embassy officials in January 2018 warning about inappropriate safety at the Wuhan Virological Institute’s laboratory.
They noticed a detail in the early stages of the outbreak: “China quickly stopped domestic movement from Wuhan to other parts of China, but did not stop international flights flying from Wuhan.”
Sources also told Fox News that China had canceled the samples, deleted the original reports and other information. They also claim that the World Health Organization (WHO) from the beginning helped China cover the traces. WHO has not yet spoken about this information and China has not yet spoken out on Fox News.
When asked by Fox News about the information, US President Donald Trump commented: “There is much and much we are hearing … We are conducting a thorough review of the terrible situation.”
According to a newly released report, the US State Department has issued many warnings regarding the biological laboratory in Wuhan. The revelation continues to raise questions about the origin of the new corona virus that is causing the pandemic pneumonia, and whether it could actually be an artificial product of the Chinese government.
According to the Washington Post, the US Embassy in January 2018 warned of insecurity at the Wuhan Virological Research Institute and sent out information about the scientists here conducting experiments. The risk of corona virus in bats
The UK recently announced that the corona virus, which had just leaked from Wuhan laboratory, was “no longer excluded.”
A member of the UK government’s quick response committee said on Sunday: “There is a credible viewpoint other than animal origin theory, based on the nature of the virus. Perhaps it is no coincidence that there is a laboratory in Wuhan.”
US foreign affairs expert Gordon Chang in a recent commentary on Fox News wrote: “A lot of Chinese people believe that this virus was either intentionally released or accidentally escaped from Wuhan Institute of Virology, a level 4 security biological laboratory.”
“This lab is known for its corona virus research, not far from the market, which was originally identified as the source of the outbreak,” he added.
In a series of messages titled “Sensitive but not confidential,” US Embassy officials warned that the lab had many weaknesses in its management, posing serious medical risks. and warn Washington to get involved.
The first message, which Wapo received, sent a red warning about the research of the Wuhan laboratory to the corona virus in bats and especially the ability to transmit from human to potential at risk. How is a new pandemic like Sars like?
“In interactions with the scientists at the Wuhan lab, they noticed that this new lab is severely lacking in well-trained technicians and researchers to operate safely. This whole laboratory is highly controlled, ”a telegram dated January 19, 2018, was written by two employees of the US Embassy in China.
The telegram suggested that the United States should assist scientists at this lab more because their research on the corona virus in bats is very important and dangerous. Earlier, this laboratory had received support from the Galveston National Laboratory at Texas Medical University.
Embassy personnel also called on the United States to pay attention to Shi Zhenli, head of corona virus research project at Wuhan laboratory. In November 2017, she published an article stating that horseshoe bats from a case in Yunnan province were almost certainly the same species of bat that originated the Sars-corona virus in 2003.
In China, where the Communist dictatorial regime is ruling over 1.4 billion people, there is also a complete lack of free newspapers and independent organizations to really investigate the origin of the new strain corona virus, it is causing disaster for people around the world, including Vietnam to suffer the consequences.
Not only that, taking the opportunity Vietnam and other countries are struggling to cope with the deadly disease. China has used the Coast Guard ship to plunge into Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone to sink the wooden fishing boats of fishermen fishing in sovereign waters.
Through this, General Secretary cum President Nguyen Phu Trong, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and the Central Party ommittee in Ba Dinh got a better look at the true face of their Northern comrade.
People want to “escape from China” to join the world of Democracy and Freedom, but does the Communist Party of Vietnam accompany or not? then we need a clear answer from Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong in the future.
