As anybody can see I quoted you accurately, said your comment echoed the slanderous charge made widely by Republican [and a few Democratic] politicians, and then proceeded to show exactly why the original and often repeated charge that international flights were permitted out of Wuhan was disgraceful propaganda.I did not say they allowed international flights out of Wuhan I said they allowed international flights out of China so either learn to read or stop lying about what I said.This is echoing the slanderous LIE — one that infuriates Chinese to hear repeated by American politicians — that China allowed international flights out of Wuhan after stopping domestic flights out. The lockdown of the city came right before the Chinese New Year, and it applied to ALL commercial flights from that city. Of course it did not effect all cities in China.So China ... allowed international flights in and out of China to continue even after they banned travel to and from Wuhan ...
There was still a great need for emergency aid to be flown into Wuhan, often by military planes, plus there were special cases like the thousands of Americans and other Westerners trapped in the city. Special flights were arranged by the U.S. embassy and facilitated by Chinese authorities to safely evacuate Westerners from Wuhan and nearby cities. It was all covered in the newspapers. Just yesterday I heard this lie (specifying flights from Wuhan) again repeated by a prominent Republican Congressman. Disgraceful and transparent propaganda.
You are the one who needs to "learn to read, or stop lying about what I said."
