Chinese State Media Slams U.S. Response to the Coronavirus…with Lego

lease it be submit that theXinhua News Agencyis widely bonk as being apropagandistic embouchure of the Chinese governmentand the organisation ’s journalistic wholeness should generally be viewed as questionable . That enounce , its unfavourable read on the United States ’ slow response to the covid-19 pandemic is pretty on the money .

Late last dark , Xinhuareleaseda fairytale - styled video detail some of the former days of the pandemic , when public wellness officials in Wuhan first identify people falling ill to the novel coronavirus and the World Health Organization shortly thereafter confirmed peoplebecoming infected with the computer virus alfresco of China . Other than some slight comment on theXinhua Twitter chronicle , nothing else has been say about the video ( certainly not its use of what seem to be Lego minifigures , which could be knockoffs)—though it pretty clearly speaks for itself .

The video ’s exact timeline of consequence regarding the steps the Chinese government take to combat the pandemic as other countries begin to realize the threat it stick is not exhaustive in any way ; instead , it focuses specifically on the Trump Administration ’s flat0out refusal to acknowledge the disease , which is what ’s lead to overone million Americansbecoming infected and over 60,000 Americans to die from the computer virus .

Back at the oddment of February , at a point whenWuhan was already quarantiningandWHO had separate the pandemicas a global health crisis , Donald Trump insistedthat the computer virus was like to the influenza and thatshots to guard against the viruswould be useable “ in a fairly quick manner . ” Rather than taking the computer virus seriously , the President would refer to it as the “ Formosan virus ” and insisted that change of location proscription would preclude the virus from spreading to the U.S. as other land were run forward with plans to order citizens to stay home and begin practicing social distancing .

What the video accurately captures is how long the U.S. government drop trying to refuse that the pandemic was a problem before pivoting to abject racial discrimination to downplay its own shoddy response , and then pretending that health officials across the world have n’t pass months admonish us that the current situation we ’re in was the inevitable outcome . It ’s both scathing and damnatory , but the worst part of it all is that a propaganda machine quite expertly scan the hell on earth out of our elected officials with a shitpost filled with nothing but black humor and Lego .

We ’ve reached out to a Lego example to see if the ship’s company has any commentary on the video and will update if we receive a response .
