The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has added another point of tension to an increasingly problematic relationship between the United States and China. While the Trump administration feeds hatefully and foolishly anti-Chinese sentiments, the details in an internal government document reportedly reveal what the worst-case scenario looks like.
The Chinese state security ministry has delivered to President Xi Jinping warnings of an increase in anti-Chinese sentiment around the world, which could lead to a direct military conflict with the United States, Reuters reported on Monday 04/05.
The analysis, reportedly given to Xi Jinping last month, concluded that “hostile sentiment” towards China due to the current coronavirus pandemic has risen to the highest levels since the 1989 Tiananmen Square unconfirmed incident.
The report allegedly comes from the “China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations”, one of the most important think tanks on the country’s international politics, affiliated to the Ministry of State Security.
The report concluded that the United States believes that China’s economic rise is an economic and national threat to security, as well as a challenge to the political system of so-called “western democracy” and its iperialistic globalistic capitalism.
Xi’s report reveals that the United States was attempting to weaken the ruling Communist Party by undermining public trust in its competence.
US-China relations between Pandemic COVID-19
The Trump administration shamelessly accused Beijing of covering the initial virus outbreak, altering the death toll and confirmed number of cases and claiming that COVID-19 was accidentally released from a laboratory in Wuhan.
Beijing dismissed the allegations, arguing that the nation’s confirmation of human-to-human transmission, along with confirmation from the World Health Organization (WHO), gave the United States enough time to prepare for the crisis.
The Chinese government also said that the Trump administration’s statements are an attempt to divert attention from the weak and incompetent response of the White House to the crisis, as the United States has become the country with the most cases and deaths since the deadly pandemic of coronavirus. The majority of its citizens have no money to pay for treatment in the private structures of the liberal capitalistic nation.
After withdrawing U.S. funds from the WHO following allegations that the organization has covered China, Trump is reportedly now considering retaliatory measures on the coronavirus, according to administration officials who spoke to the Washington Post last week.
The diplomatic crisis is hitting hard China
Australia requested an international investigation into the origins of the virus, and France summoned a Chinese envoy last month after the embassy accused the French government of allowing its citizens to die.
The United Kingdom government, the United States’ closest ally, has forecasted that relations with China will not return to what it was after the pandemic. Not a great thing, since it was already at its historic lows.
Despite US claims that the coronavirus originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the first cases were reported, no evidence was made available (i.e., were made available the same evidences in their possession regarding Saddam, Gaddafi and Assad ). On Monday, WHO noted that it had not received specific data or evidence from Washington on the origin of COVID-19, previously cited by US secretary of state Mike Pompeo, useless incompetent puppet.
The position of China and the WHO
China has denied all these accusations. The World Health Organization “has repeatedly stated that there is no evidence that the novocoronavirus was created in a laboratory,” said Zhao Lijiang, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Also in early April, another Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying told reporters that “the comments made by those US politicians are only brazen and morally repulsive; they should abandon that politicization of public health problems.”
The Chinese newspaper Global Times published an article on Sunday that reproked Pompeo for “unfounded accusations”.
The Chinese newspaper has suggested that Pompeo “should present this so-called evidence to the world, and in particular to the American public that he is continually trying to deceive“.
