Chinese envoys have set off diplomatic firestorms overseas with a combative defense whenever their country is accused of not acting quickly enough to stem the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

FILE - In this file photo taken Monday, Feb. 24, 2020, Chinese Foreign Ministry new spokesman Zhao Lijian gestures as he speaks during a daily briefing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Beijing. From Asia to Africa, London to Berlin, Chinese envoys have set off diplomatic firestorms with a combative defense whenever their country is accused of not acting quickly enough to stem the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The days when China can be put in a submissive position are long gone,” said an editorial in the Global Times, a state-run newspaper known for its outspoken views. The Chinese people, it said, “are no longer satisfied with a flaccid diplomatic tone.” “If anyone tries to attack China on this issue, China will resolutely fight back,” said Shi Yinhong, professor of International Studies at Renmin University. “Chinese leaders may think if China doesn’t fight back, it will hurt China even more.”

The U.S. protested after Zhao tweeted unsubstantiated speculation that the American military may have brought the virus to China. China’s Embassy in Berlin posted an open letter to Bild that accused the mass-circulation tabloid of “bad taste” for blaming the pandemic on China and calculating how much it owes Germany in damages for failing to contain it. The embassy in Spain tweeted “Freedom of expression has limits,” in response to a far-right politician who posted a video about “Spanish antibodies fighting the damned Chinese viruses.

Boycott the cheating, lying Chinese snd hold them accountable

There's more Chinese Bots on this thread than at a wetmarket in Wuhan serving bat soup.

This was an accidentally released virus that China deliberately turned into a bioweapon, by knowingly let people travel from China throughout the world. China did not want to be placed at a strategic disadvantage if the infection were confined to China, as it could have been.

I believe it, I mean, look at their infected rate on Worldometer, they only have 6 today, that wont change even though every other country does, yesterday was 12! They obviously know what they're doing (manipulating the media, not fixing it)

China has tried to hide origin of the virus & waited to warn the world. Virus was likely accidentally carried out by worker at virology lab in Wuhan & happened in late Oct or early Nov. Regime should be shunned by the world. Make it illegal to trade with or manufacture in China.

China must be severely sanctioned by the rest of the world for this pandemic. If they get away with it nothing will change and they will cause more mayhem and death in future. They need to be taught a very serious lesson! Covid_19

When you create the monster,and you unleash the monster,it only seems reasonable to be the one to protect your creation from those who would attack it.

Kick them out not that hard

Read and weep

Based upon China's behavior in the Xi era, if they decided to use bioterrorism to elevate their status through global economic disruption, isn't this exactly the way they would do it? Achieves their objective while providing plausible deniability.

They’re guilty of infecting the entire planet!!!

Fuck the CCP, they murder their own people and sell their organs for profit, they can literally get fucked. They are the worst of humanity, it's a shame their mothers nursed any of the members to live past infancy. FalunGong

POS people. They really need some severe discipline. Any people who don't understand criticism will have to have it force fed, kind of how they treat the animals in their virus markets.

Honestly u.s. government should took this Jan 27th article more seriously not all on China

China shouldn’t worry to much apparently the US news and every democrat is on their side.

Well what kind a respond they always make it. Now who will responbility for all death happen right now. Event When we know that virus come from china, and every scientist notice that is new virus or Call Sars-Cov-2 . We not stupid

Tells you all you need to know

Didn’t, doesn’t and won’t work. People aren’t stupid

Good. Good. Good. Aggressive assertion. Defend your country.

Sod 'em!

Even China's own citizens are thinking how terrible and horrid their regime is. Time they did something about it.

Is n’t that nonsense? Are you rumoring, discrediting others, and not allowing others to argue and fight back? What logic!

Of all the things that could be held against the Chinese government this is a really weak thing to hold against them

Based upon China's behavior in the Xi era, if China wanted to test a bioweapon and at the same time elevate its status through global economic disruption, isn't this exactly the way they would do it? Achieves the objective while providing plausible deniability.

Disgusting

They acted very quickly to cover up the initial outbreak in December. Credits have to be given.

*FIRE CHINA, DONE!

Have the energy to criticize those Chinese people without playing, but have no energy to save their own people?

None of the other countries are willing to do what china did, politicians play the blame game to save themselves at the cost of their own citizens lives.

Who knew it’s highly contagious and fatal, we never saw it coming 🙄

I hope someone at CNN reads this.

China is the worlds enemy

They should do more.

When the world finds out what they have done it will be impossible to forgive. Bio weapons

THERE CHRATERS OF WORLD KEPT SILENCE WHEN IT WAS SPREADING

ChineseVirus

We hope you like and subscribe to the channel

You guys thought China lied people died. But what did China lie? The number? Is there any countries could do the same things like China to stop the virus? No. So how do you compare the data?

Beware of ChineseVirus ppl If china can buy world organizations, think what is might happening in our countries, big time for democracies to unite

Yes fighting racism no easy task! Coming from mad man Trump or the Anglo Evangelical from Australia who let Australia burn also wild life too! Race war ! White Caucasians against the rest of God's deranged world! AP you got it or you Trump lover too!

do you know

they are shameless curse on the planet and most especially to their neighbors ChinaLiedPeopleDied

It's not like we're accusing Russia of deploying COVID-19 or anything.

How many more times does the World have to take 'the shit' produced by the Chinese bats? 'Clean them out' already!!

If you think it took China a month to defend against the virus,what about the United States? The US government took three months to realize the seriousness of the virus

Given that China is key to getting the world economies rolling again maybe we should all try to work together to solve this instead of passing blame. They assume it started in Wuhan but now there is evidence it has been floating around for quite a while.

Along with their client states like Pakistan who allowed human trials of the vaccine they produced against the Corona virus they produced.

Games up Chicom pos's. weknowwhatyoudid ChiComLies

The CCP virus is their fault

China kept the problem to themselves, didn't stop travel from Wuhan fast enough among other things now the world suffers.

So Trumpish of them!

Because China didn’t accuse the Us of acting too late and too little

They have an entire squad here on twitter.

典型的な悪魔面している二枚舌!

CCP henchmen don't really like facing the truth. They just make useless noise.
