The Chinese Communist Party does not want to be held responsible as the source or for the spread of COVID-19, also rightfully known as the Wuhan virus. This is entirely unsurprising for an authoritarian regime that has long deployed propaganda and manipulation. What is surprising, and alarming for Americans, is that the U.S. publication The Atlantic would adopt China’s anti-American disinformation efforts.
