Key Focus

The US secretary of state Mike Pompeo insists that China must be "held accountable" for the globaspread of the virus. The US propaganda war may in part be an attempt to distract attention from the administration's own mismanagement of the early phase of the public health emergency
The coronavirus epidemic is not the cause of the difficulties in US-China relations, however; it is merely exacerbating trends that have
existed for years as both countries compete for economic dominance.
A disinformation war is under way
The spread of the coronavirus outside China and around the world has led to a disinformation war. China has sought to disown responsibility for the virus having originated there by spreading confusion and conspiracy theories, and the US has responded by trying to pin the blame firmly on China by using the designation "Wuhan virus" or "Chinese virus", in reference to Wuhan, the city in Hubei province in central China where the disease was first identified
