China Denying False Claims Is 'Evidence' of COVID-19 Cover-Up
Andrey Areshev | strategic-culture.org | 2020-05-03
China is being put in a no-win bind. It is accused of misleading the world over the Covid-19 outbreak, which is in turn prompting demands for financial compensation.

So too does the disproportionate mishandling of the crisis in the U.S., Britain and Europe. | Yet when China protests such claims, this is then portrayed as evidence of a "cover-up", furt…
