Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Chinese Communist Party ’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, recently remarked that US forces might be spreading COVID-19 (covid, in short) during the Wuhan Military Games. His remarks have sparked strong US protests. On 16 March 2020, the China Communist Party newspaper People's Daily on the US social media Twitter said that during the Wuhan Military Games, the five US athletes contracted malaria, not covid.
The tweet of People's Daily on 16 March : Five foreign athletes of Wuhan Military Games were sent to Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital for medical care and quarantine measures after they were infected with an imported epidemic between 18 to 27 October 2019. Posts subsequently went viral on social media, prompting heated discussions over if they were the original carriers of covid. Some netizens raised speculation about the "patient zero" of covid. In response to this, Zhang Dingyu, the Director and chief physician of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, said that five foreign athletes from the US were hospitalized with malaria and were properly treated. They are not covid patients.
This tweet is undoubtedly underlining the fact Zhao Lijian is spreading fake news and bringing disgrace to CCP and the Chinese.
Zhang Dingyu in fact has replied to mainland China media more than once that the US military athletes contracted malaria, and not covid. See CGTN report, https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180549.shtml
Some netizens said that if covid came from the United States last year, why would it happen in Wuhan? It should be happening in many places around the world at the same time. There is also a question. If the American soldiers wanted to poison, why would they choose the Military Games? There are more people travelling between China and the United States every day. Why would the virus bother with the Military Games?
Mainland netizen Mr. Li said, "That is purely a toss. The CCP system has always been governed by lies, stability and terror. It is completely shirking its responsibility over covid."
In addition, according to mainland media reports, an anti-epidemic medical expert group sent by Zhejiang is departing for Milan, Italy on 18 March 2020. The 12 experts of the medical group are bringing a batch of medical treatment items donated by Zhejiang Province, including ventilator, monitor, and portable color ultrasound that weigh a total of 9 tons. Italian media have doubt if these are free. According to Italian media Il Foglio, thousands of respirators and tens of thousands of masks during the previous delivery to Italy from China are not free. Italy has purchased these respirators and masks from China on a commercial transaction basis.
Mr. Li commented, "This is CCP acting. CCP is brainwashing for the Chinese people, but it's acting for the people in China to watch how it became the 'saviour' in the pandemic."
Some netizens further said that the CCP ’s move was aimed at shaping CCP's image as the “saviour”, while ignoring the covid epidemic’s possible “second outbreak” in the country.
