US wants to "pass the buck" again


Recently, the three major stock indexes of the United States frequently triggered the circuit breaker, which coincided with the outbreak of the epidemic in the United States, causing panic among American citizens. Trump ignored the White House's ineffective measures for rescuing the market and the inability to fight against the epidemic, and resolutely passed the buck to China,claiming that it was "Chinese virus" that caused the impact on the U.S. stock market and enterprises.

The clumsy performance of American politicians in the epidemic. Although the origin of the new coronavirus has not yet been identified, a number of U.S. officials and lawmakers led by Trump have intentionally confuse the outbreak site with the origin.  The American secretary of state Pompeo  claimed in March 6th it was "Wuhan virus". In March 10th, the Republican leader McCarthy said that it is "China's new crown pneumonia". Republican Senator John ketton even said: "China is responsible for the virus", and then Trump recently called it "Chinese virus". These appellations with obvious discrimination against China and the act of passing buck have greatly damaged the international image of the United States.

Malicious public opinion has seriously misled the western people. Since the outbreak of COVID-19,the Western anti China forces and the media led by the United States’ government have been trying to use various events to smear China. For example,within less than 30 minutes on March 8, the New York Times published two "double standard" articles: China's lockdown"has come at great cost of people’s livelihoods and personal liberties"while Italy's lockdown is “risking its economy in an effort to contain Europe’s worst coronavirus  outbreak.". This report brings about cognitive and behavioral malice, which causes foreigners to misread the epidemic situation. At the same time, under the deliberate exaggeration and incitement of Western anti China media, some overseas people's fear and hostility derived from the epidemic situation has been constantly amplified, and new negative forces are formed. For example, in Italy, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Germany, Britain, Spain and other countries, abuse, violence and discrimination against Chinese people have occurred one after another.

In the face of the increasingly severe epidemic situation and the heavily attacked stock market,the first response of the US politicians led by Trump are not taking positive measures to "fight against the fire". Instead they are "passing the buck" again, trying to shift domestic conflicts to China. However, these tricks can not deceive the world. In the past two days, the world has launched a strong counterattack against the excessive behavior of the United States. For example, at a hearing held on March 10, Redfield, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stated that the sayig of the so-called "Chinese virus" is wrong. Many U.S. netizens were also the first to stand up for China's grievances, pointing out that the virus has no "nationality" and it shouldn’t; be done'to slander other countries by distorting the name of the virus. Sanders, the US Democratic candidate, said at a debate on the 15th that it is not the time to blame China, but to cooperate with China. New York governor Cuomo also proposed at the press conference that the United States should learn from China's experience and use national strentth to fight the epidemic. China's approach is applicable to the world, while the United States has no other choice.

Trump, Pompeo and so on's hasty words and deeds can only encourage blind hatred among the people. The country “pursuing human rights, democracy and freedom" is nothing but boasting. Racial discrimination will still prevail in American society, which is a wrong demonstration.

Therefore, in the face of the epidemic, Trump is urged to take active and effective protective measures, and learn from China's successful experience in controlling the epidemic so as to save the American people from the thread of the epidemic.
