Yang Wei: What lies did the CCP tell before and after the Russian-Ukrainian war? (top) | Ukraine | Facts | Lies

[The Epoch Times, March 16, 2022]Before and after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the CCP kept making lies. Before the war, the CCP tried to cover up information that the war might happen, deceiving about 6,000 Chinese citizens in Ukraine and putting them in danger. After the war, the international community condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but the CCP has repeatedly acted as Russia’s spokesman, looking for excuses for the war, helping Russia to spread false information, and trying to create greater chaos.

At a time when various countries are trying to stop the war and end it as soon as possible, at a press conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry on March 15, spokesman Zhao Lijian said that “it took a lot of time” to introduce China’s efforts. Let’s check the lies of the CCP with facts.

one,U.S. biological weapons in Ukraine?

On March 8, the think tank ISW, which has been tracking the war in Ukraine, issued a special statement warning that the Russian military might use chemical weapons. Because at the press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs that day, spokesman Zhao Lijian said, “Recently, the biological laboratories of the United States in Ukraine have indeed attracted great attention from all parties,” adding that “a large number of dangerous viruses are stored in these biological laboratories. Russia is still in the military. During the operation, it was discovered that the United States used these facilities to carry out a biological military program.”

Until the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China on March 15, in the face of constant questions from reporters, spokesman Zhao Lijian still insisted on the “information in his possession”. So where did the information of the CCP come from?

On March 6, the Russian military began claiming to have discovered a U.S. biological laboratory in Ukraine. At 6:02 a.m. on March 9, the official Twitter account of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted a message claiming that “the Kyiv regime urgently deletes traces of the military biological program funded by the United States.”

At the press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 8, spokesman Zhao Lijian adopted this information in a timely manner, and also said that “a large number of dangerous viruses are stored in these biological laboratories”, “Russia has also discovered that the United States has used these facilities to carry out biomilitary programs”.

It is no coincidence that Zhao Lijian’s first-hand information not only came from Russia, but was also disseminated at the same time as the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On the afternoon of March 9, White House spokesman Jen Psaki refuted the claim that China and Russia jointly spread “the United States operates a dangerous biological laboratory in Ukraine” on Twitter, stating that the United States fully complies with the Chemical Weapons Convention and the “Chemical Weapons Convention”. Obligation under the Biological Weapons Convention, “No such weapons have been developed or possessed anywhere”.

She added, “This is an example of the kind of Russian disinformation we’ve seen repeatedly in Ukraine and other countries over the years — which has been debunked in the past — and an example of the kind of false pretenses we’ve been warning Russia would make up.” “It’s all an obvious Russian ploy to justify further premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified attacks on Ukraine”; “China seems to share this propaganda, and we all should Be wary that Russia could use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, or use them to create a false flag operation. It’s an obvious tactic.”

At the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China in the following days, the reporter repeatedly asked if he could provide evidence, but the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China just repeated a lot of clichés and could never provide any evidence.

On March 11, Xinhua News Agency reported, “Russian Defense Ministry: U.S. Funds U.S.-funded Ukrainian Biological Research Aims to Establish a Secret Transmission Mechanism of Deadly Pathogens”, the article fully quoted information from Russia.

On March 11, the UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Izumi Nakamitsu, told Security Council members that biological weapons have been outlawed since the Biological Weapons Convention entered into force in 1975, to which Ukraine and Russia are signatories. “The UN has not heard of any biological weapons program,” she said.

However, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued to spread the same kind of false information. On March 13, Xinhua News Agency reported again, “Satellite Survey: Ukrainian American Biological Laboratory”, which published some similar satellite photos of buildings, identified as the location of some laboratories in Ukraine, but the relevant information still came from Russia. , no investigation at all.

At the press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 14, a reporter asked: You just mentioned that the US has deleted documents related to the biological laboratory on its website. I took a look and the files seem to be still there. Has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs visited the website of the US embassy in Ukraine?

Spokesman Zhao Lijian only said, “The information I see is different from yours.”

The reporter asked: What do you mean by saying that the information you have is different? Would you like to take another look at the US embassy website in Ukraine to see if the documents are still there?

Zhao Lijian just prevaricates, “I have made clear China’s position just now.”

At the press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 15, the reporter asked Zhao Lijian again, “What information do you have?” The evidence disclosed”; in order to divert attention, Zhao Lijian also slandered the US side for spreading “false information”.

Zhao Lijian almost copied the lies about the CCP virus twice in 2020 and 2021. In March 2020, Zhao Lijian once said that the US military brought the virus to Wuhan, and was called a “stupid” by then US President Trump (Trump). In 2021, in order to avoid the virus traceability investigation in China, Zhao Lijian repeatedly claimed that the virus came from the US military facility Fort Detrick. Zhao Lijian’s three typical lies have become the laughing stock of the CCP’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he is also an iconic figure who has repeatedly paid attention to the CCP’s narrative of lies.

2. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fled the capital Kyiv?

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and CCP media help Russia spread disinformation, and the CCP also uses secondary party media, other mainland media and social platforms to spread lies.

On February 27, a few days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the same message appeared on various media and social platforms in mainland China one after another, “Ukrainian President Zelensky fled the capital Kyiv”. The source of the message actually came from Russia.

This information does not need to be verified, and Ukrainian officials continue to release videos of President Zelensky’s speech in Kyiv, and the rumors are self-defeating.

Until March 4, the Chinese Communist Party’s Global Times still tweeted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had left Ukraine. Mainland social media and websites have also continued to claim that the videos of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were recorded in advance.

The CCP knows that such rumors are not credible, so why does it work so hard to spread it? The CCP has been trying to create chaos, even creating the illusion that Ukraine is vulnerable, applauding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The ultimate goal of the CCP playing up the war and helping Russia build momentum is to instigate Russia to continue fighting against the United States and Europe, while the CCP is trying to fish in troubled waters.

3. Is the Ukrainian government a Nazi?

On February 24, Russian troops invaded Ukraine in large numbers and exchanged fire. One of the reasons for the Russian invasion was to “fight the Nazis” and called the Ukrainian government a Nazi government.

The CCP’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and party media also know that such a statement is too unreliable, and never dared to say it. However, they secretly followed suit through many media and social platforms in mainland China, including overseas Chinese media, calling the Ukrainian government a Nazi.

fact check

On March 3, the Chinese mainland website “Kunlunce” published an article, “How did the Ukrainian Nazis slaughter the Ukrainian people? How did Meixi deceive the world? 》

The “Kunlunce” website claims to be a “platform for offering wisdom and advice to the country and society”, but it is actually a website like the Global Times. The article directly said, “Why did Russia attack Ukraine in an extremely unfavorable international environment?” Because “the current Ukrainian government’s support for Nazism is the Naziization of the Ukrainian government.”

The “Kunlunce” website became the spokesperson for Russia, and further claimed that “it was forced by the United States“; the article said that “the Ukrainian Nazis massacred the people of Ukrainian East”.

On March 5, the Russian embassy in South Africa tweeted, “Russia is ‘fighting Nazis’ in Ukraine!” On the same day, the German embassy in South Africa responded to the tweet, saying, “What Russia is doing in Ukraine , killing innocent children, women and men only for self-interest”; “This is definitely not ‘fighting Nazism'”; anyone who believes this should be ashamed; “Unfortunately, we are experts in Nazism” .

In the face of the facts, the CCP officials dare not follow suit, but many websites spread similar information. For example, Tencent.com’s article on March 1, “The truth about the Ukrainian Nazis that you don’t know, is here to tell you!” “, “Why Putin Says Ukraine is a Nazi? ”; the article on the discussion platform of the “Observer” website “Seeing the True Face of the “Ukrainian Nazis”; the article on the “Zhihu” platform “Nazis, the “National Essence” of the New Ukraine”; and even the Canadian Chinese website “Vancouver Sky” There was also an article on March 12, “How Serious is the Naziization of Ukraine!” “…

The CCP aggressively uses its propaganda machine to help Russia spread false information and create a pretext for war, fearing that the world will not be in chaos, but on the surface it pretends to be peaceful and supports peace talks. (To be continued)
