Morrison berates WHO and China

Post by Black Orchid » Tue Apr 14, 2020 3:34 pm

Australia's prime minister has berated the World Health Organization for supporting China's decision to reopen live animal markets amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

Australian politicians have condemned Chinese wet markets as hotbeds of disease but one China expert said their disgust is based on deep misunderstandings.

The Australian government is at loggerheads with the World Health Organization as so-called wet markets start to reopen in the Chinese city of Wuhan, which is believed to be the source of the coronavirus outbreak.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Health Minister Greg Hunt have condemned the markets, but the World Health Organization has called them a vital source of food.

University of Melbourne Chinese Studies lecturer Delia Lin said there is a “genuine linguistic misunderstanding” of what wet markets actually are.

“The term has been politically charged in the west and has been associated with coronavirus cover-ups and wildlife trading,” Dr Lin told SBS News.

“In China people would think that is absurd. Wet markets in China are more like a farmers' market in Australia.”

Prime Minister Morrison took aim at the World Health Organization for supporting the reopening of wet markets and said it was "unfathomable" to support live animal markets, where experts believe coronavirus originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

"I'm totally puzzled by this decision," Mr Morrison told Nine on Tuesday.

Nice to see Morrison with cojones. 'Dr' Lin can go and suck some Wuhan wet eggs. Linguistic misunderstanding my fat aunt. These markets were opened back up a couple of weeks ago and kudos to Morrison for condemning both the Chinese and the WHO who are in China's pocket.

Trumpy has taken ScoMo's advice and is getting stuck into the WHO.

Or are the Chinese communist leaders not worried about another wet market outbreak because they concocted that B.S. excuse as a cover story?

Amid questions about the origin of the novel coronavirus outbreak, newly reported diplomatic cables showed that US officials had sounded the alarm about possible safety breaches at a lab studying coronaviruses in animals in Wuhan, China.

In the cables, obtained by the Washington Post national-security columnist Josh Rogin, US officials raised concerns about safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2018, two years before the novel coronavirus outbreak.

The lab, which holds a level-four biosafety research certification, the highest possible rating, was conducting research on coronaviruses in bats.
At any rate, I salute Morrison's stance against the Chinese and their U.N. public relations puppets, WHO.

Unless ... the Chinese government knows full well that the wet market story was just a B.S. cover story.

Maybe we will never know but one thing is certain (and really always has been) that you cannot trust China! Much worse will start coming out of China too.

Ah yes, isn't it refreshing to see an American president hitting a useless international bureaucracy where it hurts them most -- in the wallet? That never would have happened under globalist suck-up Obama, who often behaved as if he were head of the U.N., not the U.S.

Why should the American taxpayer contribute nearly $500 million toward a public relations agency for China?

I love it -- as much as I loved seeing Trump treat the Paris climate accord like toilet paper. It had the same problem: Requiring the U.S. to cut carbon emissions 28 percent while giving China -- the world's worst spewer of CO2 -- a free pass for 15 years. We were also supposed to pay another $2 billion to some U.N. slush fund until Trump pulled the plug on that Obama-approved obligation.

As for WHO, it could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives if Director-General Tedros Adhanom had simply cared more about promoting world health than pleasing his Chinese masters.
