COVID-19 Crisis: China Resumes Selling Infected Bats at Markets

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to take upwards of 200,000 American lives, and China appears to take no responsibility for causing this plague. Researchers tracked the origins of the deadly contagion back to the notoriously unsanitary wet markets in Wuhan, China.

In a move that has shocked and appalled people around the world, China recently reopened the very markets that launched the contagion, despite telling the world they banned the sale of exotic animal meat.

What distinguished China’s wet markets from those peddling common dry goods is the selling of fresh meat and live animals in the open air. The Wuhan markets, like others in major Chinese cities, have a reputation for shuffling exotic animal flesh under disgraceful health conditions. The COVID-19 outbreak has been traced back to horseshoe bats, as well as mammals such as pangolins and civets. All of these creatures play host to the coronavirus, among other contagions.

“Everyone here believes the outbreak is over and there’s nothing to worry about anymore. It’s just a foreign problem now as far as they are concerned,” a news correspondent reported from Wuhan.

“The markets have gone back to operating in exactly the same way as they did before coronavirus. The only difference is that security guards try to stop anyone taking pictures, which would never have happened before.”

There have been wide-ranging disinformation campaigns by China to deflect responsibility. The communists’ state-run media and other controlled platforms have floated the unsubstantiated narrative that a U.S. service member brought the virus into China. Implied in this false propaganda is a caveat that Americans unleashed a bio-weapon that eventually backfired on ust. But the communist regime has not been able to brainwash or silence critics on social media platforms. Outrage over the contaminated Wuhan wet markets reopening has gone viral.

“SCIENTISTS have established that it’s highly likely COVID-19 was linked to a live animal market in Wuhan,” the Daily Bugle reportedly tweeted. “There are no hygiene standards cross-contamination is rampant. Animal cruelty is off the scale. These despicable wet markets have brought the world to its knees.”

 

From Wuhan, reports indicate that previously quarantined residents are thrilled that the markets have reopened. Those who buy into the phony communist propaganda are reportedly planning to “revenge shop,” believing the state’s propaganda that the U.S. caused the pandemic and not the obvious contamination and selling of exotic animals in these unsanitary back alley markets. Not only does this open the door to another COVID-19 outbreak, but these markets could also unleash a far deadlier pathogen.

But high-ranking Chinese officials appear to be less concerned about another global health crisis than the Trump Administration’s potential post-pandemic response. Fear and anxiety are circulating in the communist party that President Trump will end America’s reliance on foreign supplies of medicine and equipment. Having recently been beaten in the trade war, China’s economic fears are keeping party elites up at night.

“Having been on Chinese television and been asked about this, it is clear the country is worried about this. They are even more worried in the shadow of a Trump-initiated trade war that he will use it as a further pretext to clamp down on free trade,” economist Prof. Iain Begg reportedly said.

“That’s going on in the background anyway, but that may be accelerated by the perception that when you have such integrated supply chains, you become dependent. I don’t think China is unduly worried about it. They recognize the situation as a threat.”
