China on Tuesday vowed to support the World Health Organization after President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the United States to withdraw from the body, which he has slammed over its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
No, they want the WHO in their pocket. The US fumbled the response, but China was worse. Lots of China worshipping on Lemmy lately.
The Chinese government has reportedly actively engaged in disinformation to downplay the emergence of COVID-19 in China and manipulate information about its spread around the world. The government also detained whistleblowers and journalists claiming they were spreading rumors when they were publicly raising concerns about people being hospitalized for a “mysterious illness” resembling SARS. The blame for the failure to report cases of COVID-19 at the onset is unclear because of the difficulty pinpointing it as a failure by either local or national officials. The Associated Press reported that, “increasing political repression has made officials more hesitant to report cases without a clear green light from the top.” There are ongoing investigations in an effort to understand what happened, including an investigation by the World Health Organization which will probe into what Wuhan officials knew at the time of the outbreak.

“reportedly”, my brother in Christ the US made those reports without any care of whether it was true.
The WHO is making the claims along with the Group of 7.
