@shashj @Nidhi @AnkitaNDTV Fmr Indian diplomat (HC to Australia/Amb to Egypt) @navdeepsuri on @ndtv said WHO position that world should just look forward, not back "facile". Added, "WHO was not taking an independent position...but rather taking a line that seemed to be written in China" 2/ #COVID19
@shashj @Nidhi @AnkitaNDTV @navdeepsuri @ndtv On the @ndtv show on China-#COVID19, @ananthkrishnan made the point that this is not just a story of the rest of the world pointing a finger at China. He reminds people that Chinese citizens, doctors & journalists hv also raised questions from the beginning 3/ #COVID19
@shashj @Nidhi @AnkitaNDTV @navdeepsuri @ndtv @ananthkrishnan Also on @ndtv, fmr Indian diplomat (HC to Australia/Amb to Egypt) @navdeepsuri: "what's made it particularly galling is the blatant effort by China to rewrite history before our eyes...that oh maybe the virus originated from the United States" 4/ #COVID19
@shashj @Nidhi @AnkitaNDTV @navdeepsuri @ndtv @ananthkrishnan Finally, it was striking -- but unsurprising -- that the WHO special envoy on the @ndtv show cited examples of China, South Korea & Singapore in tackling #COVID19) but avoided mentioning Taiwan. (@ananthkrishnan highlighted not just ROK but Taiwan too) 5/5
