I’ll use this @WIRED piece to explain what I mean.google.com/amp/s/www.wire…
The first is that Trump accuses the @WHO of covering for China. That’s demonstrably true. Screenshots below.

Look how the rest of the media has covered his dogged pursuit of the truth and accountability here. WaPo debunks the story here google.com/amp/s/www.wash… and the WIRED piece grudgingly nods to it.

It should - but doesn’t seem to - go without saying that an authoritarian regime that oppressed its own people is a uniquely bad actor.
It is a fundamentally bad actor manipulating information to benefit themselves at the expense of the world and the US/Europe. Which makes our reporters complacent...
Great reporting here by @peterjhasson for @DailyCaller about the ties between the two, and general corruption linked to @DrTedros: google.com/amp/s/amp.dail…

And it wasn’t just one lie. They had a full-court press of information praising China that doesn’t come close to passing the laugh test. Screenshots below.

It’s classic Orientalism, just in new garb: Freud’s inscrutable Asian, reimagined for SJWs.
We have a bad actor in China clearly able to manipulate the global flow of information for their own ends.
This isn’t a problem that can be addressed “bit by bit.”
The Chinese government is evil.
