The European Union has acknowledged it allowed the Chinese government to censor an opinion piece published in the country, removing a reference to the origin of the coronavirus outbreak and its subsequent spread worldwide.

In the original piece published on the EU delegation's website, the ambassadors wrote that "the outbreak of the coronavirus in China, and its subsequent spread to the rest of the world over the past three months" had side-tracked pre-existing diplomatic plans.

But in the version that appears on the website of China Daily, a state-owned newspaper, the reference to the origin of coronavirus in China and its spread is removed.

Remember folks...if you google "Tienanmen Square" on "google.cn" (.cn being the country suffix for China) all you get are hundreds of photos of a peaceful,lovely place with the gentle smile of "The Great Helmsman" (that would be Mao) visible in the distance.

I know this because I did it...in Hong Kong..a few years ago.

“The European Union has acknowledged it allowed the Chinese government to censor an opinion piece published in the country...”

What country?

Does CNN think the EU is a country.

And for their next trick, China will have the EU rollover and play dead.

EU is nothing more than an idiotic collection of wussies.

That’s alright. Our media also kowtows to Red China.
