However, China has systematically stripped institutions such as journalism, the media, non-governmental organizations, the legal profession and others that could enable the Chinese people to cope with the virus and take responsibility. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of WHO, said that the emergence of the new coronavirus, which he called COVID-19, was a “public health emergency of international concern”. “The decision came a week later than it should have been, and the WHO has been strongly criticised for it. But along with this public health emergency, the Wuhan epidemic revealed how another virus has infected the most important international organisation that coordinates efforts to contain the Wuhan epidemic, along with other epidemics: the World Health Organisation. Infected with the CCP virus, Tedros bought the idea that the “Chinese model” is superior to liberal democracy in its ability to respond to urgent challenges, an idea shared by representatives of the Western media who imagine the supposed effectiveness of totalitarianism in dealing with issues such as climate change. And while Xi’s digital information gathering campaign collected biometric data on the world’s population and data on the personal and social behavior of the Chinese people, these data seem to have been of little use in containing the pandemic. He continues: “The speed with which China discovered the epidemic, isolated the virus, sequenced the genome and reported it to the WHO and the world is very impressive and cannot be put into words. In an obvious attempt not to humiliate Xi and not to discredit the Chinese model, Mr Tedros has repeatedly insisted that the WHO does not recommend or even reject any restriction on travel and trade with China’. The new coronavirus outbreak, which started two months ago in Wuhan, China, has become an international emergency. Unfortunately, Tencent, Baidu, TikTok and Weibo are controlled by the CCP and are helping the government to censor, publish and distribute orchestrated misinformation in order to maintain the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party. The big question is to what extent the CCP virus will spread, how much damage it will do and how free societies can contain it if the CCP strives to defend and create its version of a community with a common destiny for all mankind. A few days before he finally told the truth about all the dangers of the coronavirus, he “gushed” out at the Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. This virus is that of the Chinese Communist Party, which we will call the CCP virus. With this coercive tactic, China has masterfully mobilized international support for a policy that blatantly violates international standards. Tedros placed the respect for the leadership of the Communist Party of Beijing above “its” public health mandate.
