China’s Global Times accused President Donald Trump of “genocide” on Wednesday for stating he would freeze funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) until an investigation into its handling of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic shows it is competent to fulfill its obligations.

The Times, which is funded and run by the Chinese Communist Party, claimed “experts and observers” were the ones who accused Trump of a “move of genocide” by questioning the WHO’s handling of the pandemic but did not quote any particular individual. Towards the end of the article, it claimed that the word “genocide” was being used by unnamed “netizens.”

“Halting funding to an organization that plays an irreplaceable and vital role in helping countries get prepared for and respond to the pandemic is a ‘move of genocide’ against humanity,” the Global Times declared, “predominant experts and observers said.”

“Some American netizens slammed Trump’s decision to defund the WHO, particularly during a pandemic, claiming it is tantamount to genocide,” it stated later.
