Hi guuuys! I canāt sleep and I found myself reading more articles about the coronavirus online. And I just saw this news about a German newspaper charging China for ācoronavirus damages.ā
What do you think of this? Personally, I donāt think itās a super crazy idea. I think itās just a way to hold China accountable for their neglect during the earlier emergence of the virus.
I hope my country does something like this, but with the current president being a dog of that country, weāre basically just thanking them for being āfriendsā
Yeah go for it. They tried to suppress news about the virus early on. Even some doctor got silenced for trying warn doctors. Unfortunately he passed away.
My understanding is that the Bild, which is a tabloid newspaper, is the German equivalent to the least journalistic stuff coming out of Fox News. So maybe a stretch to take it 100% seriously.
China shot back with an open letter to Reichelt, editor-in-chief, denying the allegations and denigrating the paperās ānationalism, prejudice, and hostility against China.ā
The letter from Chinaās embassy said: āI followed your reporting on the corona pandemic in general and Chinaās alleged guilt in particular today. Apart from the fact that we consider it a pretty bad style to blame a country for a pandemic that is affecting the whole world and then to present an explicit account of alleged Chinese debts to Germany, the article ignores some essential facts.ā
It added: āWe note that many countries now struggling with COVID-19 have had time to prepare for the cross-border spread of the pathogen after China reported its outbreak under IHR [World Health Organization] guidelines.ā
