'once Upon A Virus': China Mocks US Response To Covid-19 With Animation Video by Nobody: 12:44am On May 03, 2020
China has published a short animation titled “Once Upon a Virus” mocking the U.S. response to the new coronavirus using Lego-like figures to represent the two countries.

Washington and Beijing are locked in a war of words over the origins of the disease, which emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan and has grown into a global pandemic.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he was confident the coronavirus may have originated in a Chinese virology lab, but declined to describe the evidence.

In the animation posted online by China’s official Xinhua news agency, red curtains open to reveal a stage featuring Lego-like figures in the form of a terracotta warrior wearing a face mask and the Statue of Liberty.

“We discovered a new virus,” says the warrior.

“So what?” replies the Statue of Liberty. “It’s only a flu.”

As the warrior issues warnings about the virus and counts off the grim milestones in China’s outbreak, the Statue of Liberty replies dismissively with echoes of Trump’s press conferences in which he played down the severity of the illness.

“Are you listening to yourselves?” asks the warrior as the statue begins to turn red with fever and gets hooked up to an intravenous drip.

“We are always correct, even though we contradict ourselves,” the statue replies.

“That’s what I love about you Americans, your consistency,” says the warrior.

The United States and other countries have accused China of misleading the world about the severity of the outbreak, and there are growing calls for an international inquiry into the origins of the virus.

In an interview with Reuters, Trump said he believes China’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic is proof that Beijing “will do anything they can” to make him lose his re-election bid in November.

I see they still have their sense of humour...

But it isn't funny. That is why I keep insisting that the whole world clamps down hard on them right after this pandemic- or at least when it cools down a bit- and force them to pay reparations for their misdeeds.

In fact, I won't stop saying it. Over and over again. China must be made to pay reparation for their BS.

After that, I will like to see them record a new "comedy skit". Nonsense.

pls,leave Cuba and Syria out of it. Russia is only fighting for a comeback, while North Korea is laced with just propanganda. But, wait, why did u failed to mention d neighbouring countries to China? did u know Japan has instructed her citizens to take production out of China, with financial commitment?

how many Chinese products and tech are used in Russia, Syria cuba and NK?

Funny but contains their own truth. Looking at the whole Pandemic issue, where did China go wrong? Is it by failing to tell the world early enough because they were trying to control the virus or that such virus originated from China. If these virus had been from Africa, the discrimination will be on a different level.

With one billion plus local consumers of their own and a lot of already tapped external economies, it would be remiss to think it would continue to remain so.especially in a nation that has been consistently increased its gdp per capita and purchasing power. In my lifetime alone, they've gone from bicycle capital of the world to that of Ferarris and other exotic cars.
