Wuhan marks its anniversary with triumph and denial
www.bbc.com
In the city where the virus first emerged there is now an insistence that it came from elsewhere.

Favs included:

  • The West can't stop the virus because it has sooo much freedom!

  • OoOoOOoOoh what if the virus came from an spooky chinese lab

  • The chinese support their government (y'know the one that saved them from the virus while the west is still letting millions die a year later) therefore they are brainwashed

    The BBC really is just raw propaganda and racism isnt it.

    EDIT: I love the bit about the Chinese woman saying it 'came from America.' The piece is written in a way to frame this as nuts or brainwashing, but literally they dont know! They THINK it came from wuhan so the author treats it as if their supposition, with some evidence, is ironclad fact. LITERALLY YOU DONT KNOW MOTHERFUCKER!!! It COULD have originated in America! Is it probable that it originated in Wuhan? Sure. But no one fucking knows and to present it otherwise is racist yellow journalism.

    Edit2: In The Peoples Republic of CrimsonSage all western journalists will be forced to pick vegetables by hand for 12 hours a day until they repent their ways.
