China Fisked by The Daily Telegraph
President for Life Xi Jinping
fisking: v. [blogosphere; very common] A point-by-point refutation of a blog entry or (especially) news story. A really stylish fisking is witty, logical, sarcastic and ruthlessly factual; flaming or handwaving is considered poor form.

The Daily Telegraph this week received a letter from the Australian Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China, who took gentle issue with our excellent coverage of the coronavirus crisis.
Following is a point-by-point response to the Consulate General and China’s communist dictatorship:
Recently the Daily Telegraph has published a number of reports and opinions about China’s response to COVID-19 that are full of ignorance, prejudice and arrogance.
If a state-owned newspaper in China received this kind of complaint, subsequent days would involve journalists waking up in prison with their organs harvested.
Tracing the origin of the virus is a scientific issue that requires professional, science-based assessment.
Sure it does. How professional and science-based was the claim published on March 12 by China’s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian that “it might be US Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan”?
The origin of the virus is still undetermined, and the World Health Organization has named the novel coronavirus “COVID-19”.
The World Health Organisation also appointed Zimbabwean murderer Robert Mugabe as its Goodwill Ambassador and declared on March 2 that the “stigma” of the coronavirus is more “dangerous than the virus itself”.
The World Health Organisation does a lot of stupid stuff.
So what is the real motive behind your attempt to repeatedly link the virus to China and even stating that the novel coronavirus was “made in China”?
Our motive is accuracy. That’s why we don’t link the virus to Bognor Regis or state that it was “made in Panama”.
The people of Wuhan made a huge effort and personal sacrifice to stop the spread of the epidemic.
Wuhan’s Dr. Li Wenliang indeed made a huge effort to warn people about the coronavirus outbreak. Then, as the New York Times reported: “In early January, he was called in by both medical officials and the police, and forced to sign a statement denouncing his warning as an unfounded and illegal rumor.”
And now he’s dead, so that’s “personal sacrifice” covered as well.
Nevertheless, in order to capture attention and gain more internet hits, you called Wuhan the “Zombieland” and Wuhan seafood market the “bat market”. How low can you go?

I’ve done this on a few occasions when destroying the left in debate. They included a link to an article supporting their argument. After I subjected their argument to blistering fact-check scrutiny, I did the same thing to their linked article.
The CCP and their fellow travelers deserve a Royal Fisking, IMO.
YMMV
With the barbed cock of Satan…wrapped in pus filled asbestos…sideways!
I do believe I was one of the, if not THE, FIRST to scream out loudly when this subject FIRST showed up on these pages that this whole thing was a deliberate attack by the Communist Chinese Government, aided and abetted by our domestic enemies, on our Republic. Further evidence is showing that their intent and purpose was to attack the entire world.
I say nuke the entire site from orbit…it’s the only way to be sure.
The CCP and their fellow travelers deserve a Royal Fisting, IMO.
Corrected for accuracy.
WHO..the CNN of all things medical.
Who?
We won’t get filled again.
Ack….
We won’t get fooled again….
No, you’re all wrong. The Daily Telegraph is wrong. The human-centric party of the people of China is and always was right. Commissar will be in shortly to sing the praise of the CCP and the WHO. Without either of those organizations’ tireless efforts, thousands would have died and the global economy would have been ruined.
Go wash your mouth out with soap.
I thought the WHO had been renamed the CHO recently in line with their priorities.
Read it, loved it. Especially the response to the “people-centered” claim:
@Please tell us more about your ‘people-centred philosophy’ and how many bullets it requires.”
