For four days in a row, from Monday April 27 to Thursday April 30, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was honored on CCTV. It is not clear, however, that his popularity has grown at the same rate as his notoriety among the Chinese. On the contrary. Monday, April 27, due to its attacks on Beijing, "The former director of the CIA", as the Chinese media often describe it, is even accused of spreading "The political virus". By propagating " The lie " and " diffamation ", He becomes "Enemy of humanity". Just like the Covid-19. As the presenter of the television news read, "Pompeo must be clear: the enemy of the United States is the virus, not China".
The next day, Tuesday 28, the load is even heavier. "In the history of the United States, we have never seen a secretary of state use the tools of the CIA, lies, theft, dissimulation, as diplomatic tools. " Mike Pompeo is responsible for "Four sins" : it cuts credits to the World Health Organization, which will harm poor countries, it hides the failure of American policy against the virus by making China bear the responsibility for the epidemic, it worsens the world humanitarian catastrophe by repressing excessively certain countries like Iran and Cuba, he is indifferent to the fate of his fellow citizens and sees only his political interest. Conclusion: Mike Pompeo "Is not quite a human anymore", "It becomes the shame of the United States". And so, "American diplomacy loses all credibility".
Since the telephone discussion on March 27 between President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump supposed to reduce the tension between the two countries, the Chinese media avoid expressly criticizing the American president. They therefore attack his main collaborators, even if they have no illusions. As the editorial in the Global Times Monday May 4, "Pompeo's anti-Chinese bluff reveals a hard-line mentality to deceive American voters".
The "Corona Big Book"
Unusually, the new China agency published, on April 27, a representation of the table of contents of the "Corona Big Book" published by the American cabinet O'Donnell & Associates intended to provide anti-Chinese arguments to the Republican candidates for the Senate. According to the site Politico who revealed its existence, this 57-page document is intended to show that China has lied about the virus, that the Democrats are complacent with Beijing and that the Republicans will demand sanctions against China. Asked about the document, Geng Shuang, spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry, commented: "If this report is true, one cannot help but ask who is spreading false information. "
