THE BEIJING JOB: China now blaming Italy for starting Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.
Which is an interesting turn of events considering that in Febuary, the Chinese government encouraged Italians to fight Coronavirus racism by hugging strangers: “Titled ‘Italian residents hug Chinese people to encourage them in coronavirus fight,’ the brief video shows a handsome, casually dressed young Chinese man standing in a busy pedestrian area in Florence. He’s blindfolded and wearing a surgical mask, next to a handwritten sign reading the following in Italian and Chinese: ‘I am not a virus. I am a human being. Free me from prejudice.’ Then, as stirring electronic music swells, passersby hug him and touch his face to remove his blindfold and mask. So much for ‘social distancing.’ This was released on February 4, 2020. Six weeks later, Italy now has more active coronavirus cases than anywhere else in the world, and the entire country has completely shut down.”
