As the [[Global CCP pandemic]] shook the world, the '''CPP propaganda war''' in Western media came back to life.
The Chinese Communist Party attempted to shift the blame for the Global CCP pandemic away from the [[leftist]] [[authoritarian]] regime and towards the [[United States]]. Chinese state-controlled media repeatedly spread the idea that there was a [[controversy]] over the origins of the [[Wuhan virus]] which a [[scientific]] expert consensus agrees arose in the Hubai Province of China in November 2019.
U.S. [[NeverTrump]] [[mainstream media]] played right into the Chinese communists' hand. The eagerness of some leftward groups to call [[President Trump]] racist over his use of the term 'Wuhan virus' fed into a coordinated Chinese propaganda tactic, what analysts called 'the weaponization of [[woke]]ness'.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWOW1iN27xk</ref> The tactic was as simple as it is effective: to turn American dissenters into mouthpieces for CCP propaganda by deploying the language of [[The West|Western]] [[political correctness]] in the service of the Chinese Communist Party interests.
Criticism of China, according to the CCP's interpretation, is inherently [[bigot]]ed. Instead of standing behind the principle of [[journalist]]ic freedom, elements in the American [[Left]] rallied behind China's allegations of racism. This tactic presents unique
problems, as it seeks to conflate the Chinese Communist Party with the Chinese people themselves. President Trump noted it is important to
differentiate between criticism of the regime's actions during the outbreak, and a general attitude towards the country and its people.
