疫情下登機難：在美華人已放棄春節回國探親

儘管2021年春節臨近，但目前美國疫情十分嚴峻，中美間航班一再取消，加上越來越嚴苛的登機檢測要求，許多在美華人只好無奈地放棄回國探親之旅。

疫情下登機難：在美華人已放棄春節回國探親 儘管2021年春節臨近，但目前美國疫情十分嚴峻，中美間航班一再取消，加上越來越嚴苛的登機檢測要求，許多在美華人只好無奈地放棄回國探親之旅。

•中國兜售假消息， 推動新冠海外起源論。面對全球對其早期應對失誤的憤怒，北京正在全力發動宣傳機器，試圖改寫這場大流行的敘事。為推進病毒不是來自武漢的觀點，政府對外國專家的言論斷章取義，並給可疑理論披上了科學外衣。這場宣傳運動似乎反映出中共對疫情持續損害中國國際聲譽的擔憂，也給了習近平一個激發國人民族主義情緒的新機會。 China tries to shift virus blame

Facing global anger over their initial mishandling of the coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese authorities are trying to rewrite the narrative of the pandemic by pushing false theories that the virus originated outside China.

Details: Chinese officials have said that packaged food from overseas may have initially ushered in the virus. Scientists have released a paper positing that the pandemic could have started in India. The state news media has published stories misrepresenting foreign experts as having said the coronavirus came from elsewhere.

Context: This push comes as the World Health Organization begins an inquiry into how the virus jumped from animals to humans. Chinese scientists have been designated to lead key parts of the investigation.

Analysis: The campaign seems to reflect anxiety within the ruling Communist Party about the pandemic’s continuing damage to China’s international reputation. Western officials have criticized Beijing for trying to conceal the outbreak when it first erupted.

Here are the latest updates and maps of the pandemic.

中國試圖轉移病毒責任

面對全球對最初對冠狀病毒爆發的不當處理的憤怒，中國當局正試圖通過推論關於該病毒起源於中國以外的錯誤理論來重寫這種流行病的敘述。

詳細信息：中國官員曾說過，來自海外的包裝食品最初可能是該病毒的誘因。科學家發表了一篇論文，認為該流行病可能已經在印度開始。官方新聞媒體發表的報導誤導外國專家，稱冠狀病毒來自其他地方。

背景信息：在世界衛生組織開始調查該病毒如何從動物向人類跳躍的過程中，這一推動力來了。已指定中國科學家領導調查的關鍵部分。

分析：該競選活動似乎反映了執政的共產黨內部對大流行繼續損害中國國際聲譽的擔憂。西方官員批評北京在爆發時試圖掩蓋疫情。

這是大流行的最新更新和地圖。
