China’s Western-Elite Enablers Must Answer for Damage They’ve Done

2020 will go down in history as the year that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) unleashed a global pandemic and crashed the world economy. In a rational universe, the CCP would pay a price, but we don’t live in a rational universe. Three thousand-five hundred U.S. companies are suing the federal government to overturn tariffs on Chinese products. Chinese stock listings on Wall Street are thriving; as of October 2, 2020, the 217 Chinese companies listed on U.S. exchanges have a total market capitalization of $2.2 trillion. Twitter blocked the New York Post for reporting on Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China, but allows Chinese-government accounts to spread vicious propaganda blaming the U.S. for the pandemic. And media executives, so piously “woke” about social justice, are dead silent about Communist China’s concentration camps, where millions of men, women, and children are subject to torture, enslavement, and “reeducation.”

Since the onset of the pandemic, the mainstream media has pushed the CCP narrative that China has “done a much better job than the U.S.” containing the virus. There is scant reporting on the supply-chain disruptions and food shortages caused by months of catastrophic floods in the country, the destruction of Hong Kong’s civil society, or the Chinese regime’s appalling election to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
