Let me start by saying that all Americans should be praying for President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump regardless of your political affiliations. Well wishes for the President and First Lady have come in from leaders across the globe.
But in China, in the hours after the news about the President’s positive COVID test became public, the Chinese Communist Party’s, CCP, controlled media outlets released stories and cartoons, celebrating both President Trump and Melania’s illnesses.
The nastiest story came from Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of the Global Times who wrote, "President Trump and the first lady have paid the price for his gamble to play down the COVID-19," and “The news shows the severity of the US’ pandemic situation. It will impose a negative impact on the image of Trump and the US, and may also negatively affect his reelection," the editor wrote on Twitter, in a now deleted post.
Over the next two days, the CCP deleted all the negative posts about the Trumps and Chinese President XI send his best wishes to the President. It was a day late and a dollar short.
First, anything that is read by the Chinese people is completely controlled by the CCP. So, the distasteful comments and celebrations about the President and First Lady’s illness were approved for release, and in my view, the real views of the CCP.
The Global Times is a propaganda arm of the CCC. In June, this media outlet called the United States a 'barbaric and greedy' country that 'doesn't care about humanitarianism.’ It also wrote that 'the US government has failed its people and also failed the world' in its handling of COVID.
The CCP also tried to link the fact that the President tested positive on the same day that the Chinese Communist Party, CCP, celebrated the anniversary of the communist takeover was also viewed by many leaders in China as an "act of God." I find it unbelievable that the CCP is trying to link the President’s Coronavirus with their celebration of Communist day because religion is banned in China and has been for decades.
In February of this year, the CCP struck a "final blow to religious liberty" with new measures requiring total submission to the Chinese Communist Party. The CCP is the ordered religion in China. One religious Chinese leader, Pastor Wang Yi of Chengdu's Early Rain Covenant Church, was sentenced to nine years in jail for "inciting subversion of state power," raising concern for Chinese Christians.
"In practice, your religion no longer matters, if you are Buddhist, or Taoist, or Muslim or Christian," a Chinese Catholic priest told AsiaNews. "The only religion allowed is faith in the Chinese Communist Party."
In Tibet, the Chinese Communists have direct control over the Dali Lama and Monks and nuns who refuse to swear allegiance to the CCP have been arrested, tortured, and expelled from their monasteries.
And don’t forget about the Uighurs, more than one million Chines Muslims who are currently being held in labor camps. Many of the cell phone Americans use that are made in China are made in these slave labor camps.
Let me say again, as always, that I have to argument with the Chines people, and the millions of hard-working Chinese Americans who have added to our culture. My problem is with the CCP, who is enslaving their own people, polluting the earth, stealing our American technology, and, with the help of our own American corporations, have taken millions of American jobs and more than 50,000 factories out of this country.
We still do not know how the Coronavirus originated in China, and no credible group of Doctors, or global health organization, has been allowed to go the Wuhan, China, to determine how the virus originated. If we want a vaccine, we need to have the original genetic code, which can be found in the lab, or if you want to believe, in the wet food market. China will not allow US Doctors or scientists in to find out this critical information.
I pray for the health of our President, First Lady, and all Americans who have the Coronavirus. I do not wish bad health on anyone who has COVID, here or in China, or around the world. But I also hope that all Americans realize what the CCP has done, and has not done, to help all of us get through this virus.
