The European bureau chief of Chinas state-run publication China Daily has called President Trump a racist a**hole for claiming China must have the most deaths from the global coronavirus pandemic.
We dont have the most-in-the-world deaths the most in the world has to be China, Trump said during Fridays White House Coronavirus Task Force press briefing. Its a massive country. Its gone through a tremendous problem with this, a tremendous problem. And they must have the most.
China Dailys Chen Weihua, an outspoken critic of the Trump administrations coronavirus response, responded by tweeting that Trumps suggestion was coldblooded. He added in a later tweet that Trump is like a mad dog with rabies biting everyone, only to divert attention from his failures, before tweeting that it was irresponsible and immoral for Trump to suggest that the virus could have come from a Wuhan lab. He also floated a theory pushed as Chinese propaganda that a U.S. military athlete brought the disease to China.
In 2018, U.S. officials flagged the Wuhan Institute of Virology as the potential starting point of a future emerging coronavirus outbreak, citing the lack of safety protocols applied to the Institutes research on SARS-like coronaviruses in bats.

Logic would dictate that if it was meant as a biowarfare tactic, it wouldn't have started in the country that developed it for that purpose. They'd export it to their target, via some carrier.
