This article examines remarks by U.S. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, reported by TV Tokyo’s WBS, criticizing China’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak as a cover-up comparable to the Soviet Union’s response to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It also points out the serious problem that NHK/watch9 failed to report this important fact.

He criticized China, saying that a “cover-up” had taken place just as in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and that it “will go down in history.”
He also said that China’s cover-up operation would “probably be made into an HBO special in 10 to 15 years.”
This is a fact that TV Tokyo’s WBS informed us of a short while ago.
Needless to say, it is a fact that NHK/watch9 did not report at all.
I searched the Internet and confirmed it again.
China’s cover-up was “the same as the cover-up in the Chernobyl accident.”

WASHINGTON, by Yoshinari Kurose: U.S. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien appeared on NBC television on the 24th and, regarding China’s response to the new coronavirus, criticized it by saying that a “cover-up” had taken place just as in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that occurred in the former Soviet Union in 1986, and that it “will go down in history.”
O’Brien condemned China, saying, “China unleashed the virus on the entire world and destroyed trillions of dollars of American economic wealth.”
Referring to the recently broadcast HBO drama that examined the truth of the Chernobyl accident, he said that China’s cover-up operation would also “probably be made into an HBO special in 10 to 15 years.”
O’Brien also criticized China on a CBS television program, saying, “China knew of the outbreak from last November to this January, yet provided false information to the World Health Organization, WHO.”
