China s US apologists: Goodwin
Washington is too arrogant to realize that its vicious accusations against China have become a political gamble for itself, claimed the Global Times, the communist mouthpiece. It has staked too many bargaining chips on credit from international morality. It actually has no way to back down from this dangerous status .
The US could meet its Waterloo in this battle, the unsigned article said, adding America is exposing to the world its four Achilles heels.
The diatribe was the fourth attack the Global Times has published since Biden s order last Wednesday. One claimed the goal of the US is to severely thwart China s national interests.
It called Biden s probe a big lie and accused America of following in the footsteps of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels by saying repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
In reality, it has been obvious from the get-go that the world was not getting the full story about COVID-19. Recall that Beijing disappeared some early scientists who worked on the virus and misled the World Health Organization about human-to-human transmission, saying there was none.

Yes, Beijing does seem quite exercised about this. And lots of apologists do seem to have been activated in the US. I still don’t understand exactly why the MSM did such a quick about face on this story, however. Goodwin evinces too much optimism about facts being stubborn things and how the truth will out. We were fortunate attitudes on this story changed before the concrete dried.
