On March 4, Xinhua, the official state-run press agency of the People’s Republic of China, {which is, therefore the voice of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)} published a commentary stating that the U.S. should apologize to China and the world should thank China.

“Now we can righteously demand, the U.S. owes China an apology and the world owes China a thank you!” Continue reading
