By forcing the World Health Organization to put the focus of the COVID-19 origins tracing on China again, the US intends to kill two birds with one stone: help the US shift the blame of poor pandemic handling, and build a long-term strategic public opinion and political containment against China by tracing the COVID-19 origins. China’s only choice is to fight back with more intensity. The Biden administration’s overall response to the pandemic has been no better than the Trump administration’s. Breakthrough of the COVID-19 vaccine research was achieved during Trump’s administration. The Biden administration’s efforts to mobilize American population to fully get vaccinated have failed to fulfill its promise. And the epidemic is back on the rise. The Biden administration, which faces a growing risk of being punished in the midterm elections for its poor response to the pandemic, now has as much political need to blame China as the Trump administration. The Biden administration is fully copying the Trump administration’s line of political hooliganism: using every means to frame China. As the epidemic continues to rage in the US, Washington is finding it hard to directly shift its responsibility to China. Therefore they are playing the “COVID-19 origins card” fiercely, and comprehensively politicized a task that should have been scientifically advanced as nothing mobilizes Americans more than politics. Making Americans mad can make them stupid. Then they will feel that the ridiculous notion that China is responsible for US’ failure to fight the pandemic “makes sense.” The vast majority of scientists and US media outlets last year publicly disapproved the allegation of a “lab leak” from Wuhan Institute of Virology. Recently, a large number of them changed their stance, and did not believe the conclusion that the link between the Wuhan Virology Institute and the epidemic had been basically ruled out after the WHO expert team visited the lab last year. A large part of the American scientific and public opinion community was apparently “fooled” by the Biden administration and became “political animals” to follow the politicians. Trump’s strategy was to teach Americans to hate China until they felt that the US government was lovable no matter how stupid it was. New cases in the US now reach 40,000 or 50,000 in a single day under the Biden administration, and it’s going up. This is not a small number, even compared to daily cases during Trump’s administration. The pandemic-response is still poor even with the vaccines. If American voters don’t hate China very much, how can they not find out that they elected people to lead the country who are even more stupid than the last one? The Democratic Party has only a one seat advantage in the Senate and a limited edge in the House of Representatives, the Biden administration’s rapid descent into a lame-duck administration would be a joke if the Democrats lose both Senate and the House next year.
