CNN: “China’s massive security state is being used to crack down on the Wuhan virus”
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/10/asia/china-security-police-wuhan-virus-intl-hnk/index.html
Foreign Policy (owned by Washington Post) :
“The Wuhan Virus Could Hurt the Party’s Legitimacy”
Global Times, a media arm of the Chinese government: “Chinese netizens fear Japan would repeat Wuhan virus mistake at early stage”
Quartz: “China’s Wuhan virus unfolds in new age of WeChat”
And so on and so forth.
In Taiwan the name commonly used is Wuhan Pneumonia: “The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday said that it would use the name “Wuhan pneumonia” when communicating with the public”
I guess the ethnically Chinese people of Taiwan suffer from internalized racism…
The Chinese propaganda machine knew well that they only had to drop the R bomb to deflect criticism away from them, and it worked.
