This article discusses a report suggesting that China may have pressured the WHO to avoid declaring an international health emergency over the novel coronavirus outbreak, and criticizes China’s political methods, its influence over international organizations, and its tendency to force its claims through loud and persistent pressure.

One of its characteristics is that its voice is loud: regardless of black or white—or rather, in order to turn white into black and black into white—it continues to speak loudly and persistently until its claims are accepted.
This is an article I found last night while searching to confirm whether or not the WHO had issued an emergency declaration.
This article, too, proved the correctness of my arguments.
It made clear that one of the characteristics of a country of bottomless evil and plausible lies is that its voice is loud;
regardless of black or white—or rather, in order to turn white into black and black into white—it continues to speak loudly and persistently until its claims are accepted.

[Paris = Tōga Shiraishi] Regarding the novel coronavirus that broke out in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, the French newspaper Le Monde reported on the 29th that China had pressured the World Health Organization (WHO) not to issue an emergency declaration.
The WHO has postponed the declaration, but says that, instead, it obtained China’s agreement to allow an international team of experts to enter the country.
At emergency meetings held on the 22nd and 23rd, the WHO discussed whether the spread of infection by the virus amounted to a “public health emergency of international concern.”
Twenty-one members from countries including Japan, the United States, and China were listed as participants in the emergency meeting.
According to the newspaper, at this meeting, the Chinese representative developed the argument that “a declaration is out of the question.”
There was also opposition from China’s “allies,” the report said.
Intense debate took place at the meeting, and in the end the WHO postponed the declaration on the grounds that it was “too early.”
At a press conference after the meeting, Director-General Tedros explained that “opinions were divided over whether it constituted an emergency.”
An emergency declaration is issued together with recommendations when the WHO judges that a situation “poses a public health risk to other countries,” among other criteria.
Although the recommendations are not legally binding, the declaration has the significance of widely alerting the world to a crisis.
Restrictions on movement and trade may also cause economic damage to the countries concerned.
