    About this ebook

    The outbreak of a deadly new form of pneumonia that began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 has shown the world that the regime in Beijing poses the most serious threat to world peace and freedom since the Soviet Union. Early missteps by China’s ruling Communist Party — repressing doctors who sought to alert China and the world to the dangers of the novel coronavirus and permitting millions to travel out of Wuhan for a holiday — caused the global pandemic now devastating populations and economies around the world. In this important essay, Bill Gertz shows how China’s lies and obfuscations imperiled the world.

      How China's Communist Party Made the World Sick - Bill Gertz

      In our country, the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the state. In breaking with the lie we are performing a moral act, not a political one, not one that can be punished by criminal law, but one that would immediately have an effect on our way of life.

      ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN

      Russian writer and Nobel Peace Prize winner, January 1974

      ON DECEMBER 1, 2019, a man in Wuhan, China, suffering from flu-like symptoms for several days was admitted to a hospital for what would be diagnosed as a severe form of pneumonia. His fate is unknown.

      For thirty days the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took no action to alert the world of the impending danger of a deadly new disease. Those thirty days shook the world.

      A Marxist-Leninist regime that was built on the bodies of 60 million Chinese since its founding in 1949 lied to the world and repressed medical doctors who tried to warn of a new highly contagious virus.

      Why have American scientists not demanded a full accounting from Beijing for its bat coronavirus research?

      In the days ahead, tens of thousands of people would die, and the entire world would be thrown into economic chaos.

      This is nothing less than a crime against humanity facilitated by CCP influence within the World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations agency with the primary mission of preparing to fight just the kind of disease outbreak that took place. The WHO and its leadership turned out to be worse than useless during the single crisis for which the agency exists. Instead, the WHO served as an agent for spreading dangerously false information by the CCP.

      U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to cut off the United States’s annual $400 million in funding for the WHO as the epidemic forced the shutdown of the American and global economies in a bid to mitigate the spread of the disease.

      The world is shut down, the president said. Nobody has ever seen anything like this. The entire world is shut down.

      Only Information Age communications that emerged within the nearly totalitarian control system in China prevented the CCP from completely covering up the epidemic and perhaps inflicting even greater global damage.

      Social media posts by Wuhan doctors sounded the alarm early on in the crisis. The clues allowed Western intelligence agencies to pick up the first signs. A brief period of time during the earliest days also allowed official and unofficial media to reveal what was going on. That was abruptly shut down in January when the CCP imposed harsh censorship and restrictions, including jailing unofficial bloggers in Wuhan who were telling the world of the horrors inflicted upon a city of 11 million people.

      The party under Xi Jinping and his functionaries, from the highest levels in Beijing down to local officials in Wuhan, lied and deceived their own people. Then they launched a campaign of deception and disinformation. They failed to inform the world of the outbreak of a deadly new disease
