Mike Pompeo says "The Chinese Communist Party had the opportunity to prevent all of the calamity that has befallen the world".
The party, he says, not the government.
A feature of the continuing Republican effort to deflect blame from the Dumbo Duce is to highlight the Chinese government's enduring subservience to the Chinese Communist Party, and even to shift blame for what the government does directly onto the party, though it is less clear than it was in former days which is the dog and which is the tail of these two.
The true boss of both and pretty much everything in China is Xi Jinping, Paramount Leader, etc., etc..
And did either one (or did he?) actually have such an opportunity?
Even allowing that Pompeo's "all the calamity that has befallen the world" refers only to the calamity of the Coronavirus, of course.
Have we seen any reason to believe that?
Given the track record, I'd say it's just another lie only a little less inflammatory, gratuitous, and stupid on its face than saying they deliberately unleashed this bug on their own people and thence the world in order to ruin Dumbo's re-election chances.
