Ramaswami: In this genuine humanitarian crisis and the need for a global solidarity, the US rumour mills have continued with their propaganda war on China. The news establishment, led by New York Times, Washington Post, have simultaneously blamed China for being “secretive” and “not doing enough”, as well as taking China to task for “draconian” steps that are human rights violation, and not warranted to contain the epidemic. In their propaganda of China as an authoritarian state distant from its people, they are unwilling to accept that the Chinese citizens have shown exemplary discipline and faith in their government. They have sacrificed their earnings, accepted the enormous hardship imposed by the quarantines and lockdowns. Their doctors and nurses leading from the front. The proof of this is the continuing fall of the numbers in China, and virtually confining the disease now to only one province in China.
