Some in media are going hard for Xi Jinping and the CPC in their reporting, few harder than NBC. Check out Keir Simmons on China’s claim that the communist country is worried about reinfected by the west:
NBC's @KeirSimmons says that China "helped" the world by "delaying" the spread of coronavirus and that it is now "worrying that they may get re-infected…from the rest of the world"pic.twitter.com/WSkmGctnmt

Katie Rogers in NYT:
“The fear and suspicion directed at China in the devastating early days of the coronavirus outbreak have made a 180-degree turn: It is the West that now frightens Asia and the rest of the world.” https://t.co/iSwdDU86IQ

Tim Kaine, relishing his moment in the warm light of the cameras, regurgitated this nonsense despite us knowing definitely where this pandemic originated:

Any harsh words for China after they accused the United States of starting the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic? We’re in the grip of a pandemic and certain members of media and Democrat politicians are more invested in salvaging communist China’s reputation and world-wide perception than they are reporting on — or making policy by — the facts.
Meanwhile, aided by some on our own press, communist China is still working hard to change the reality:
Central China TV
“Expert” : “The US pushed out the vaccine so quickly, that only means they have been working on it way before the pandemic.”
Host: “So we can conclude that the US had this virus in their possession long ago”CCP nonstop smear campaign

Probably should've thought about that before your government tried to cover up a pandemic and discussed stopping exports of medicinal supplies.

As for communist China’s identity politic game, there’s one wrinkle:
Not long ago even the Chinese state media called the virus Wuhan Virus.

The New York Times examined communist China’s propaganda to see how it’s shaping the narrative during the pandemic:

We are in an active propaganda war with a communist nation that unleashed a mortal threat upon the world. Their criminal refusal to properly contain it and their insistence on playing politics (Taiwan had the last laugh) is defended and indulged by a partisan press. I said earlier on Twitter:
Thread. Ask us again why we’re livid with much of the reporting on this.
There are a few absolutely stellar exceptions. I cite those well-sourced and well-written stories and reporters whenever possible.
Exceptions. Not the rule. Unacceptable. https://t.co/gruMejBAyV— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) March 19, 2020
It is important to push back on this garbage every time an opportunity presents itself. Some in the free press are not behaving like a free press, they’re behaving as a bureau of CPC and adding to the disinformation noise.
(Related: Check out this thread on China’s pandemic response.)
Also:
“Chinese owned”? No, CGTN is a propaganda channel, formerly called CCTV-9. It reports directly to the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China. That’s not a journalist, that’s a Chinese government agent, trying to bring his fever into the White House.
Deport. Now. https://t.co/8e9dk0omRG
