3 days ago · Beijing (AFP) – Beijing accused
US President Donald
Trump on Friday of
trying to “shift the
blame” for the global coronavirus pandemic in an escalating row between the two powers.
Trump charged Thursday that the world is “paying a big price” for
China’s lack of transparency on the outbreak when it emerged in the central city of Wuhan late last year.
China is not to blame for America's COVID-19 mistakes
The situation of the coronavirus disease is intensifying in the United States. As of March 6 evening, over 265 cases have been confirmed in the country, with outbreaks starting to emerge across the West coast in California, Washington State, and Oregon.
Despite this, the American government has been unprepared, with Vice President Mike Pence openly admitting that the country lacks a sufficient number of testing kits to keep up with the surge of suspected cases.
In tandem with this, President Trump has pursued an attitude towards the virus, which has largely been criticized as negligent or denialist, repeatedly playing down any potential impact and aiming to reassure the public to minimize economical damage.
As these problems have raised pressure on the administration,
it is not a surprise that now its usual suspects are attempting to shovel the blame in Beijing's direction.
The interview marks yet another provocation in an endless series of bad mouthing comments about China from the country's top diplomat, irrespective of the context.
Is China really responsible for the situation in the United States? The claim is opportunistic and is designed to deflect blame from the administration's own failures, with Beijing being an easy scapegoat as a perceived enemy.
Instead, China's strident efforts to contain the spread of the virus have been overwhelmingly successful and thus it is illogical to blame them for the situation in the U.S., where early setbacks have been rooted in the authorities inability to prepare sufficiently both on a national and local level, as well as the overconfidence of the administration who perceived it was an opportunity rather than a threat combined with
Trump's obsession with preserving the economy in the view to his election.
First of all, China had nothing to do with the outbreak's origin, which is linked to political failures.
When a new spike of cases began to emerge in Washington State and California, the first initial patients in both instances had no history of travel and no connections to China. The origin of the infections remains unclear.
However, the spread from hereafter was linked to several administrative failures.
The California patient was reported to have waited an excessive amount of time for a test, which of course intensified the spread.
This has built into a wider scrutiny that the United States actually lacks sufficient testing kits for the virus, with a report by the Atlantic detailing only 1,895 people had been tested as of March 6, compared to over 10,000 a day for South Korea.
Secondly, political negligence is also part of the problem.
The Trump administration has sought to play down the impact of the virus at every opportunity. The reason he is doing this is because unlike China, he does not want to sacrifice American economic growth by stoking public fear and precaution of the disease in the view to his own election prospects, already sensitive about a slowing economy.
This has led to poor leadership and exaggerated claims that the U.S. is containing the virus, a dismissal of criticism, as well as a complete reluctance to implement any top down special measures, bar a funding bill from congress.
U.S.'s failure in dealing with the COVID-19 includes a lack of appropriate resources, organizational failure, and political incompetence, and China does not deserve the blame.
