Loveable with Chinese characteristics.

President Xi Jinping of China wants to be loved. Who doesn't? "After years of growing aggressiveness towards other countries through warnings and insults, President Xi Jinping said that officials should create a loveable and respectable image of the country, which has raised more than a few skeptical eyebrows among China watchers," Economic Times (ET). "We must pay attention to grasp the tone, be both open, confident and humble, and strive to create a credible, loveable, and respectable image of China," Xi said. You cannot ask to be loved when you mock the grief of Indians over the death of loved ones. "A post on Chinese site Weibo showed an image of a rocket launch in China alongside a photo of bodies of Covid victims being cremated in India," BBC. "The text with it read: 'Lighting a fire in China Vs lighting a fire in India." This is especially brazen because the coronavirus is now believed to have originated from Wuhan Institute of Virology (Wikipedia). Because, "A classified US intelligence report - saying three researchers at the Wuhan laboratory were treated in hospital in November 2019, just before the virus began infecting humans in the city - began circulating in the US media this week," BBC. "The head of China's Wuhan virology lab, also called the 'bat woman', and an expert from the University of North Carolina in the US, had in a paper published in 2015 flagged the dangers of their gain-of-function experiment of a novel coronavirus which could infect human cells, media reports said," Business Standard. "This man who goes by the 'TheSeeker208' on Twitter, is part of a group called DRASTIC -- a global alliance of internet strangers who came together to discover some compelling evidence that the virus originated, not in seafood market as China would have us believe, but from a Wuhan lab. Their theory, once junked as a conspiracy, has now grabbed global attention, with US President Joe Biden even ordering a probe," Times of India (TOI). "Their story, according to their digging through obscure academic papers, begins in 2012 when six miners were sent to a bat-infested mineshaft in Mojiang in Yunnan to clean it. Later three died of pneumonia like symptoms. In 2013, Dr Shi Zhengli, director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), and her team brought back samples from the mineshaft to their Wuhan lab. Shi said it was a fungus in the cave that killed the miners, but DRASTIC claims she found an unidentified coronavirus strain which they called RaBtCoV/4991." "Dr Li-Meng Yan was one of the first to research the emerging coronavirus and previously revealed she was forced into hiding after accusing Beijing of a cover-up, New York Post reported," NDTV. "Journalists continued to acknowledge Sunday that the media's longstanding dismissal of the Wuhan 'lab-leak' theory was in part due to Republicans pitching it," Fox news. US mainstream media would rather side with an enemy to discredit Donald Trump. That makes them 'propaganda channels', not news channels. Emails of Director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr Anthony Fauci, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, showed that "Fauci chose to remain mum despite knowing about the onset of the virus". "China has repeatedly and vehemently refuted the suggestion that the Sars-Cov-2 virus came from its lab in Wuhan, but the circumstantial evidence that the virus could have leaked out has been growing," Prof Harsh V Pant. "In fact China's misuse of the WHO from the very beginning of the covid crisis has led to a credibility crisis for the wider institution." "Over the past year China has slapped more than $20 billion worth of arbitrary trade bans and tariffs on Australian exports as an apparent punishment for an independent inquiry into the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic" and recently threatened that it will be hit first if it interferes in any military conflict, Daily Mail. "A London panel investigating the plight of Uyghurs in China on Friday heard witness testimony of torture and gang rapes, in a process slammed by Beijing as a mendacious slur," NDTV. You cannot force love through viral warfare and rapes. Xi can't understand.
