No. That's unfair to the researchers at WIV. You do not sacrifice your own people to hopefully gain brownie points with the west. What is the point of developing to be equal to the west if you're going to throw your own people under the bus the first time you get questioned?

I didn't say the lab leak was from WIV, CGTN knows how to use the lab leak theory to shift the conversation and throw shade at Fort Detrick.

WIV is actually an excellent case to focus on, the logic goes since if the US is funding biolabs to research "bioweapons" in adversarial states, then what else could the US be funding behind everyone's back?

I personally thought the idea that was COVID in a lab was nonsense, however Jeffrey Sachs recent revelations made me question that. I still think the jury is out compared to something like HIV (for which there is ample evidence it was a US engineered virus).

China has been content to remain on the defensive on American conspiracy theories on COVID so far, it and hasn't really pursued the Fort Detrick allegations. COVID hurt the west far more than China so even if it was an accidental/intentional US leak the Americans have already been punished by their own incompetence.

As I mentioned in my previous post China isn't the one with the credibility crisis right now, it's America:

If China does decide to go on the offensive we know the cold war has truly begun.

See what happened last time when Taiwan bought French mirages, La Fayette and Dutch subs, and today's China is many times more capable of hurting them. Taiwan certainly want weapons from any country, but most countries can not afford the consequences to sell.

If you had Chinese literacy education (which is mandatory) through high school in mainland China, you would not have much problem in understanding those literary expressions.

If those people in Taiwan are really more Chinese than mainlanders as they claimed to be, they should not have problems in understanding the literary expressions.

Anyone else are not really the audience anyway. I mean this People's daily article isn't aiming at foreigners.

That's the thing, I don't have that kind of Chinese literacy education because I didn't grow up on the mainland. A lot of the Chinese language education in Australia is fairly basic at best until one reaches university level. I'm still trying to rectify that, but it will take a few years before I'm confident enough read and write at that level. Nevertheless, fair enough about the intended audience.
