Depths of pettiness. Absolutely counterproductive. Now the shit really hits the fan. Have to think this was also triggered by Trump's repeated use of "Chinese Virus." But did they stop to think that ALL journalists for those orgs certainly oppose that bigoted BS? Tragic day.https://twitter.com/niubi/status/1239951905155174404 …

Don't think it's wise for Trump to call it a "Chinese Virus", which is his typical button-pushing technique, but this needs to be viewed in the context of Zhao Lijian's accusation that the US military brought it to Wuhan.https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/13/asia/china-coronavirus-us-lijian-zhao-intl-hnk/index.html …
It's more likely that China has been wanting to do this for a while and the "Chinese Virus" remark and others give them cover to do so.
