The Group of Seven (G-7) economies have agreed to push back against Beijing’s sprawling propaganda campaign designed to deflect blame for causing the global pandemic, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on March 26.
G-7 countries discussed the Chinese regime’s “intentional disinformation campaign” during a virtual meeting held on March 25, according to Pompeo.
“The G-7 countries yesterday were unanimous in saying we understand that this is a risk, that this is a problem … to the EU and to the United States and the world,” Pompeo told The Hugh Hewitt radio show on March 26, in reference to the discussions. “They agreed to jointly work alongside us to push back against this disinformation campaign.”
He said Japan and the EU countries in G-7 (France, Germany, and Italy) understood that the Chinese regime was reshaping its narrative about the outbreak—disinformation that “the Chinese are actively engaged in, even as we speak.”
The regime has been “trying to defer blame, trying to claim that they are the solution to this, and … [that] they weren’t the nation that, at the very beginning of this, [was the] one country that had the opportunity and the data set that could have put this virus in a much better place than we are today and failed to do so,” Pompeo said.
In recent weeks, Chinese senior officials and scientists have claimed that the virus didn’t originate from China. On Twitter, a spokesman for China’s foreign ministry pushed the unfounded conspiracy theory that the virus was introduced to China by U.S. Army personnel.
Beijing also is actively portraying itself as a global leader in containing the pandemic. Experts say this is part of the regime’s goal to promote its authoritarian governance model to countries as an alternative to democracy.

lol...
It is not only China pushing the US as the origin of the virus. Russia, Iran, North Korea, and other enemies of America are peddling this false narrative.
The WUHOO flu.
Made in China.
It is evident that they were playing around with this virus in that bio weapons lab and it got loose.
We have had other viruses that got loose from there and they havent tried to cover those up like this one.
Then, whatever communists accuse others of, is exactly what they are guilty of.
Including every democrat and their wholly owned subsidiary, aka the MSM.
LOL ATTABOY
This whole episode with China and the virus should be the last straw. It’s time to launch serious covert efforts to destabilize that regime, while simultaneously aiding pro-democracy dissidents. We cannot go through another episode like we are enduring now. If there is another Chinese viral debacle, our only choices will be to lock down China, by force if necessary, or to nuke the city in which it originates before it spreads.
For the followers of George Webb, he came out in full ChiCom propaganda mode this week.
As in promoting ChiCom propaganda?
I continue to think it quite likely that some peon at the L4 lab charged with disposing of / incinerating test specimen animals was sneaking some out to the wet markets. It unfortunately certainly fits with common Chinese business ethics.
It’s an overreaction to their guilty conscience. If it were just a wild virus then it’d be “it is what it is.” Their disinformation campaign indicates it’s an escaped bioweapon and they are 100% responsible. Could it be time to re-isolate China from the world?
Of course, they're the communications division for deep state.

The DM won’t listen.
All the DM want to do is spread “stuff”.
Never know. I always say that if somehow the Reds managed to invade this country we’d have a hell of a time with them.
They eat anything and everything. We would have to poison everything after we retreated.
Yep. Pushing that the virus originated here and was spread to Wuhan by a US military Intel operative at the war games.
