China’s invented statistics endanger the world. @ThadMcCotter @AndrewCMcCarthy
Image: Anti-communist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-communism) propaganda in a 1947 comic book published by the Catechetical Guild Educational Society warning of "the dangers of a Communist takeover." (Public domain.) Today, some large US media firms simply repeat Chinese propaganda that defames the entire Western world and crows about its own brilliance. Bizarre. Andy McCarthy: statistics about fatality rates in China are much more modest than those in the US. This is obviously Chinese propaganda, and nonetheless is being reported by official organs [including the WHO]. Thaddeus McCotter: We’re also seeing the US media not reporting anything about essential matters: no statistics at all from China, and acting as though Beijing isn’t putting people in concentration camps—Uyghurs, Kazakhs—as though the CCP cared a whit about the lives of their own citizens, which it’s never yet been seen to do. By artificially keeping their numbers low they’re endangering the lives of their own people and all the rest of us.
