   VAST CEMETERY IN IRAQ ECHOES 14 CENTURIES OF LIFE AND DEATH

   

Peace protest: A Code Pink protester disrupting the first hearing of the US
House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and
the Chinese Communist Party. – AFP

THE three-hour first hearing by the new US House Select Committee on China on
Feb 28 was nothing but another anti-China farce staged in Washington, with
clowns such as former US national security adviser H.R. McMaster and his deputy
Matt Pottinger, who was sanctioned by the Chinese government, in attendance.

That the people invited to testify are known for their hate speeches and
baseless remarks against China shows that US lawmakers are not interested in
hearing different voices on any issue or in understanding the real situation.
Instead, they are interested in deliberately misleading the US public.



Perhaps the only sensible voice was heard 21 minutes into the hearing when two
protesters from peace group Code Pink stood up to interrupt a virulent speech by
McMaster. One woman held a slogan “China is not our enemy”, followed by a man
holding a sign “Stop Asian hate”. Both of them were quickly taken away, and
subsequently cuffed and arrested.

US politicians like to project such bipartisan committees as if they are a proof
that they are doing the right things. Yet the disastrous Iraq War launched 20
years ago was overwhelmingly approved and zealously supported by both the
Republican and Democratic parties. The war not only ruined Iraq and the lives of
its people but also destabilized the whole region.



The hysterical smear campaign against China is reminiscent of the days when the
US manufactured the biggest lie of the century to fool the world into believing
that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and thus
justify its invasion of Iraq. Colin Powell, then US secretary of State, made the
case at the United Nations Security Council holding a tiny vial of white power
in hand.

Now, without any solid evidence, senior US officials, from the US Energy
Department to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, have again become busy,
spreading lies about the “probably” of the novel coronavirus leaking from a
Wuhan lab, a conspiracy theory first floated by the administration of previous
US president Donald Trump but never supported by leading epidemiologists and
medical scientists, including those at the World Health Organization or Anthony
Fauci, the top US public health expert who has served as adviser to every US
president since Ronald Reagan.

The latest US strategy to smear China is using words such as “likely”,
“probably”, “may” and “if” to make irresponsible and libelous accusations
against, and spread disinformation about, China.

THE 'LAND DOWN UNDER' IS CALLING YOUR NAME

The US’ purpose is clear: To paint China as an evil and aggressive nation, one
that does not abide by established international rules. But none of these are
supported by facts, especially given China’s good track record of not having
engaged in any war for decades and its huge contribution to the global economy.

Should China return the favor by making similar unsubstantiated and speculative
allegations against the United States? The answer is “no”.

Unlike the US administration, most governments in the world do not indulge in
such political farce.

When one witness at Tuesday’s hearing blamed China for the US’ trade deficits,
like Trump did as US president, I wondered why the committee didn’t invite an
economist to educate them about the real cause and meaning of trade deficit.

The hearing started like as a sham when witnesses took oath, pledging they would
tell nothing but the truth but almost all of them violated the sanctity of the
oath.

In a speech at the Brookings Institution on Feb 15, US Deputy Secretary Wendy
Sherman accused China of spreading disinformation, but then bragged “we are
doing better”. It is an extraordinary confession. The US is a past master at
feeding the world disinformation due to its powerful diplomatic presence across
the world and powerful propaganda machines. But even people who were duped by
the US’ claim that Saddam Hussein possessed WMDs have woken up and become more
skeptical about Washington and its claims. – China Daily/Asia News Network
