Doing What Your Chinese Bosses Tell You To

That's the Canadian way!:

On April 29, CBC published an article devoted to this special edition that is deliberately misleading and intentionally excludes crucial information we provided to CBC prior to the publication of its article. The sole purpose seems to be to discredit The Epoch Times and our reporting on the coronavirus. ...

The headline CBC gave the article seems to speak for all Canadians, saying “‘Racist and inflammatory’: Canadians upset by Epoch Times claim China behind virus, made it as a bioweapon.” ...

CBC purposefully omitted that our media organization was founded by Chinese immigrants, which was stated in the email to the reporter. We are the media telling people that this pandemic is not the fault of the Chinese people, but is the fault of the Communist Party. The Chinese people have been victimized by the CCP’s handling of this pandemic. By discussing the CCP’s role, we are truly standing up for the Chinese people. ...

There is no balance in the CBC article. The reporter purposefully chose a few voices that have one-sided opinions and used them to attempt to discredit us. The article includes no comments from any individuals who might disagree with CBC’s criticism.

On April 2, Health Minister Patty Hajdu credited China and their coronavirus figures around infection and death, defending their validity, despite reports saying otherwise. 

“There’s no indication that the data that came out of China in terms of their infection rate and their death rate was falsified in any way,” said Hajdu, citing the World Health Organization as a source of authority, despite repeated reports at the time dismissing both Chinese and WHO reports. 

In an interview with the CBC's Vassy Kapelos, Hajdu again opted not to criticize the authoritarian regime. Instead, Hajdu said that the post-pandemic era will be a time of reflection, and again gave credit to China for updating their death figures after international scrutiny.

The World Health Organization is balking at a Canadian parliamentary committee’s request for key WHO adviser Bruce Aylward to testify before MPs and explain the global body’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Matt Jeneroux, Conservative health critic and one of the vice-chairs of the House of Commons health committee, said he plans to seek support from other parties to take the request to the next level. He said he will propose the committee try to compel testimony from the Canadian epidemiologist by employing a rarely used power of summons.

“We want this committee to be taken seriously. Dr. Aylward is a key figure in a lot of this and this committee has been tasked with understanding the response to COVID-19,” Mr. Jeneroux said.

The global COVID-19 pandemic began in Wuhan, China, but data from Canada’s largest provinces show it was American travellers, not Chinese, who brought the deadly virus to our shores.

Yes, about that:

Announced Jan. 28:

Case 1: A man in his 40s from the Vancouver Coastal Health region who recently travelled to Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the COVID-19 outbreak. He has since recovered from the virus, meaning he is asymptomatic and was cleared by two consecutive tests performed 24 hours apart.

Jan 27: Canada confirms its first case of COVID-19 related to travel in Wuhan, China.

Again, what is it that Derek Sloan (who won't apologise because fortitude) has to apologise for?
