Covid19 reporting: case study of Western delusion and shamelessness

Initially, West accused China of tempering with Covid19 statistics. Now faced with the hard reality of China's successful Covid19 response, a new crime is promoted: "China's sinister Covid19 success is
2/ the external manifestation of its authoritarian system. China doesn't have personal data freedom. The government has unlimited access to personal data, so It can organize effective Covid19 source tracking."

First of all, China has strict personal data protection laws.
3/ Big data tracking of any sort is entrusted to private companies to organize. Time duration and scope of Covid19 tracking during the pandemic are strictly circumscribed and Covid19 specific. Private companies are held accountable for any personal data violations beyond the
4/ predefined scope.

Mass surveillance exists in the west. Nobody knows how to do mass surveillance better than the US, Five Eyes spy network and Nato. Unfortunately mass surveillance is not carried out for the public good. It's done surreptitiously mainly to serve the
5/espionage agenda for Western aggression and to pilfer industrial trade secrets, not intended for public good in times of crisis. It's unbelievable that the already existing NSA mass surveillance network hasn't been repurposed to trace Covid19.
6/Incidentally, Taiwan and South Korea use exactly the same data tracking methods as China. These are democracies. Western Media are OK with Taiwan and South Korea's Covid19 tracking but not OK with China's equivalent tracking.

Western Media are OK with NSA's mass
7/ surveillance spying on the whole Humanity including European citizens and Chancellor Merkel, but not OK with China using data tracking to find Covid19 source of contamination. The western double standard certainly renders virus deadlier.
Remember also, prior to Covid outbreak
8/ in the West, MSM ran titles like

"Dictatorship renders virus deadlier"

However, as the evolving reality proves the opposite, the narrative of the dishonest Western press is changing. Now China's Covid19 success is used to attack its "dictatorship" from another angle.
9/ Such mental gymnastics within such a short period of time is breathtaking. Let's summarize as follows:

Phase 1: China's dictatorship renders virus deadlier & China's draconian Covid19 response violates human rights

Phase 2: China's tempering with Covid19 figures and
10/ mass cover up are responsible for Western unpreparedness. West was misled into downplaying virus. China lied. China must pay.

Phase 3: China didn't lie, but China's Covid19 success is obtained by brutal violation of personal data freedom

New titles will be trending:
11/ "Dictatorship may have rendered virus less deadly but at what cost? How China achieved zero Covid19 miracle by ruthlessly sacrificing its people's personal data freedom"

Any phenomenon can be fit into a fast adapting Western narrative to attack
12/ China's so-called dictatorship! Western press knows no bounds for its shamelessness.

Current Western Covid19 response is unadulterated debacle. Despite the disaster the West still thinks it's superior, because their system is
13/ democtratic, so it can still criticize China from a moral high ground.
Speechless. Unbelievable.

China's poverty alleviation program is not just welfare to the poor which destroys them in the long run. Initial phase does involve government giving money, building free houses for the destitute etc. But there are accompanying measures to pull people out of the holes
2/ they are stuck in permanently.

A task force is on the spot to evaluate the situation from 360 degrees. The cause of poverty for most regions is often the inaccessibility to the outside world. For such places, the long term government priority is the infrastructure
3/ building which connects the isolated region to the rest of China. Building roads, introducing electricity, Internet connection, modern plumbing are the first steps. This is also what China has been doing for the poor countries with its Belt Road Initiative.

Quora insight from a Belgian Mr. Jean-Pierre Rlbot

The cold war has already started. But this time the opponent is of a different caliber from the Soviet Union.

China will not be intimidated and its scientific and industrial fabric is on the fast track

2/ to catch up with and overtake the United States. To modernize its GPS network the US went through a 15-year plan. China has just completed this global network in 5 years. Wanting to exclude China from advanced technologies forces them to develop their own technology.
3/ The striking example is the 5G telecommunications where the US has fallen behind. This hinders the development of new cutting-edge applications for the 5G in American industry. US threatens its allies with retaliation if they dare use China's 5G.

In the wake of Islamic terrorism in France, it's opportune to remind people of the double standard of the West towards terrorism. Whatever is bad for China is good for the West. Latter has been actively stoking separatism and terrorism in Xinjiang

2/resulting in thousands of terrorist acts and hundreds of human casualties before 2014. When China proceeded to enact its first anti-terrorism law in 2016, it encountered violent opposition from the West, exactly like what happened re. Hong Kong National Security Law. Western
3/condemnation accused China of mass surveillance and violation of personal data freedom, because of the clause subjecting China's social media and telecommunication companies to cooperation with the government. Irony is that this is the standard practice in the West.

In France there's bit of a terror going on now. France resembles more and more USA. Islam to France is what China is to US. Pro-China is immediately labeled a CPC spy in the US. Accordingly, those who dare to oppose the French government's hawkish fanatic secular
2/ position on Islam is considered an Islamic radical and an apologist for terrorism.

US politicians say all Chinese are spies or potential spies. Same is happening in France.

French intelligence briefs Macron that all moderate Muslims are turning radical and those
3/non-violent radicals are ready to commit terrorist acts. So every Muslim is a potential terrorist. There's no peaceful moderate Muslim left!

French intelligence says there's a tidal wave of masses wanting to destroy France. They're mounting an anti-France propaganda campaign.

China's one party system in reality is no-party system, meaning no partisan politics. Apart from the humanistic ideal embodied in the works of Marxist, ideology re. the operational modality to achieve such ideals is removed from China's political scene. China adheres
2/ to "scientific development strategy", scientific meaning rational, ie, the optimal strategy, what's best for China.

All the energy money time wasted on partisan politics in the West are channeled into China's concrete development. No wonder West is very eager for China to
3/adopt "democracy", so China can "enjoy" Western style polarization and
fratricidal social wars. China will thus be weakened and easier to infiltrate.

China is run by professional administrators who gain entry and ranks through draconian national exams and performance

Pompeo's anti-China roadshow is farcical. Vietnam has the same political system as China and aspires to become a mini-China. Vietnamese communists were once the biggest threat to US.

To bring down such evil, US nearly exterminated whole population of Vietnam,
effects of which are still being felt today with birth defects and mines.

The motive used to rally US allies against China is now discarded to embrace Vietnam. Even socialism can be weaponized against China.

Using terrorism, genocidal military dictatorships to get at the
enemies of US has always been the American way of "standing up for freedom, democracy and human rights". American foreign policy is devoid of any humanistic ideals. Anything goes. Any means are justified to achieve their ignominious end, ie, US world dominance.
