China’s state-run propaganda news outlet, Global Times, opened the week lambasting the United States’ democracy, and accusing the US was “no match for China” in terms of fighting diseases.

The Global Times took a swing at America in a feature published in the newspaper on Monday. They claimed that looking at the confirmed number of COVID-19 cases between the US and China; it shows that China has a far more superior public health power than the United States. The communist nation is basing its comparison on the false numbers they reported last week.

The propaganda outlet compared the coronavirus spread in the US to that of a “primitive society,” adding that it should not have been like this if only America had the “slightest science and organization.” The outlet continued to condemn the US and said that the COVID-19 pandemic had hit the US on its weak side. “To put it bluntly, the US is no match for China in terms of anti-epidemic organization and mobilization,” the Global Times continued.

The communist state-run newspaper also claimed that they were abandoning any kind of “understanding” towards the United States because the Trump administration has repeatedly blamed and criticized China for withholding crucial information about the outbreak from the rest of the world. The newspaper further declared that it was not China’s fault “to reveal the miserable failure of the US.”

The Global Times continued to confidently claim that the communist country’s “achievements stand the test of time and all kinds of doubts,” despite reports and more evidence piling up that show the COVID-19 virus might have actually started from a Wuhan virology lab—a lab that deals with the most dangerous pathogens in the world. Not only that but the communist nation also repeatedly tried to deflect the blame and change history by pinning the United States as the main source of the outbreak.

In another feature published by the same propaganda outlet, they reported that American democracy is dying because the “recent chaos in the country has proved it’s in decay.” They also accused the president of displaying incompetence and fostering violence by supporting the protesters against the strict lockdown rules of Democrat-run states. However, despite their sharp words, the Global Times’ claims proved to be baseless as they never presented examples or instances that support their statements against President Donald Trump.

China is the country of origin of the deadly coronavirus, which has now affected more than 2 million people worldwide, resulting in millions of jobs lost and thousands of deaths.
