NY Times: China is pushing coronavirus conspiracy theories (while the US left attacks the right for noticing)

So to sum up the situation, China is being criticized for its initial cover-up of the virus and in response it is actively spreading a conspiracy theory that U.S. soldiers brought the coronavirus to Wuhan during the Military World Games. There is no evidence this is true. On the contrary, all the evidence points to the virus arising from a particular seafood market in Wuhan, probably after it spread from bats, through pangolins, which are a delicacy in China, to humans.

In the face of actual communist propaganda, the American left has decided to&blame conservatives. I wrote this week about Jim Acosta s whose reaction to President Trump s speech this week was to call it xenophobic. I m sure China appreciated the contribution to their propaganda campaign. As another example, here s Jonathan Chait expressing his own confusion in a piece titled Why Are Conservatives Obsessed With Revenge on China for the Coronavirus?

We should all remember that this was the left’s reaction to this disaster, when all the dust has settled and the funerals are over.
