I'm nearly positive it was never a deliberate policy until snowflakes like you started melting over it. THEN it became deliberate.
yeah right, administration officials and propaganda outlets like FOX all just started calling it that one day, even though the whole world refered to it as corona / covid-19, including the people pushing the "chinese virus" label now... total coincidence, not coordinated at all...
you can't seriously be stupid and gullible enough to actually believe that, can you?

it would just be a real shame if someone made a political statement against the chinese govt. just a real shame. /s
you just can't stop being a lazy hack, can you? that's not the point. like, at all.
the
chinese leadership deserves a whole lot of criticism for this - and not just their initial handling (silencing experts, cover-up for image reasons, inhumane quarantine measures...), but also their recent and current propaganda efforts concerning their 'success' of containing the virus. they are nothing short of cynical and disgusting.
but hey, keep strawmanning away to rationalise a narrative that is clearly NOT designed to level fair and well-deserved criticism against the CCP, but to
score political points by appealing to bigoted sentiments...
