DISINFO: Coronavirus campaign is staged by the West; India is the next anti-Chinese fist

SUMMARY

India is emerging as the West’s collective fist against China, as the latter does not want to follow the path designated by British-American groups. In particular, the current Chinese rulers started pursuing too independent policies and closer cooperation with Russia. China is losing a coronavirus-related information war. Reuters news agency and Euronews have turned into main news makers. The China-harming panic surrounding the coronavirus epidemic is carefully planned in the US, UK’s and NATO’s analytical centres.

RESPONSE

This is a conspiracy theory, one of a dozen or so similar cases about the West's anti-Chinese actions, which reportedly includes India's involvement and the coronavirus campaign, the latter is allegedly controlled by the US, UK, and the West to weaken China politically and economically. It also follows another recurring pro-Kremlin propagandistic narratives about Western media outlets and NGOs as subservient to Western political elites. The virus migrated from animals to humans, and while the scientists continue to track its origins there is no evidence to suggest it has been made artificially. In response to the outbreak of the coronavirus, the Chinese authorities placed more than a dozen cities under quarantine. The World Health Organisation is working with Chinese authorities and global experts to learn more about the virus. The virus "2019-nCoV” comes from a family of viruses that include the common cold, and viruses such as SARS and MERS. Western media are not controlled by the government and do not run coordinated propagandistic campaigns on government orders to harm China or some other country. A high degree of media freedom in Western countries is reflected in the top ranks these countries occupy in respective world rankings including the World Press Freedom Index by Reporters without Borders. Read earlier disinformation cases alleging that coronavirus is the West’s revenge for China refusing to become hostile towards Russia, that Amnesty International is an ideological tool of the US security services, and that the Luciferian Zionist Rothschild crime family controls the Western mainstream media.
