China did it. It really did it.
It's going to get away with mismanaging a viral outbreak that has killed more than 5.3 million people and counting.
The World Health Organization certainly isn’t going to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable despite the latter’s clearly egregious and duplicitous mishandling of the pandemic, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
The Biden White House also isn’t going to hold China accountable, if comments this week from Vice President Kamala Harris are any indication.
Asked this week about the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases in the United States, Harris responded with an answer that included an aside about how no one is to blame for the virus being in America. This is true so long as you ignore that the Chinese government’s efforts to cover up the outbreak helped it to spread to every corner of the planet.
"I don't think this is a moment to talk about fault," Harris told CBS News’s Margaret Brennan. "It is no one's fault that this virus hit our shores or hit the world. But it is more about individual power and responsibility and the decisions that everyone has the choice to make."
Except the global pandemic is definitely the fault of one specific government.
