Dotard Versus Dragon

The US President has been feverishly accusing China for what he calls the start of the COVID-19 leakage from a laboratory in Wuhan, without providing the least evidence in this regard.
Washington’s poisonous propaganda against Beijing recently assumed idiotic proportion when Donald Trump threatened to reduce US relations with China to zero-level.
Such a threat, as foolish as it is impractical, typifies the irrational behaviour of a person rightly dubbed as ‘dotard’ by the North Korean Leader, Kim Jong-un, and comes as no surprise to China watchers aware of the inability of the declawed bald-headed eagle to check the power of the fiery dragon.
Trump and his "America first” acolytes have long claimed that China is ripping off America by resorting to what they allege unfair trade practices, stealing its commercial secrets and destroying manufacturing jobs.
Before the start of the pandemic, Trump, although impeached by the House and with his popularity at record low, was being inflated by his fellow Republicans as one of the most successful presidents in US history.
It is worth recalling that "Make America Great Again” (MAGA) was the slogan used by Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. It was obvious that the realtor with no political experience was trying to copy a similar slogan of the used by the actor Ronald Reagan in his 1980 presidential campaign "Let’s make America great again”.
Trump thinks he can again fool the public by harping on MAGA in his current bid to retain the presidency, despite having no tangible proofs of the so-called American greatness. His entire network tried to claim that Trump’s policies had overcome the unemployment problem.
The Coronavirus pandemic, however, has proved it the other way round. Among the so-called developed nations, the US has been incapable of checking the rampant spread of COVID-19. The number of cases per capita is higher than that of any major developed nation. The rate of decline of cases and deaths from the peak is slower than any other country, and considerably slower than that of Europe as a whole.
With more than 36 million jobless and millions more to join them, Trump’s failed policies have proved that he lied every time he addressed the nation.
Trump should know that his current tactics and playing the blame game with China cannot guarantee him the presidency for the next four years.
Interestingly, the World Health Organization (WHO), prominent US scientists, and even the US intelligence community have rejected both claims despite pressures from the White House.
China on the other hand has been fair with the world in reporting the Coronavirus cases. With the start of COIVD-19, Beijing has spared no efforts to contain the pandemic, which in fact had emerged months earlier in the US, but was deliberately hushed up by the western media.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping yesterday said that the world needs to rally behind the WHO and support developing countries, and also insisted that China has shared its information about the COVID-19 with WHO and other countries.
The facts are crystal clear. The US’ accusing of Dr. Qing Wang, a scientist of Chinese origin, of alleged fraud and stealing of information related to coronavirus to help the Chinese government, is firm evidence of American foul play, now with the mysterious death of this researcher at Pittsburgh University.
As usual, the US is not alone in its crimes against humanity, and is being aided by fellow terrorist Israel. This is obvious by the suspicious death in Tel Aviv on Sunday of Chinese Ambassador, Du Wei.
Even former US President, Barak Obama has criticized Trump and his incompetent team for mishandling the coronavirus crisis, which means Trump is deceiving himself into believing that his tirade against China and murderous policies against that country’s officials, will ensure him a second term at the Oval Office.
