Masquerade or needed aid? China virus help proves controversial

But critics view the aid, though indispensable, as part of a cynical ploy to project Chinese influence.

COVID-19 first emerged in a wild animal market late last year in the Chinese city of Wuhan, but Beijing says the situation in China is now under control with domestic cases dwindling to zero. The ideological battle around COVID-19 represents the latest flare-up of tensions between China and the West, after spats over Beijing’s military build-up in the South China Sea and over the expansion of tech giant Huawei.

Borrell accused Beijing of initially covering up the outbreak, saying this paved the way for its rapid, global spread.French Secretary of State for European Affairs Amelie de Montchalin told French radio Sunday: "It's sometimes easier to spread propaganda, pretty images and sometimes to exploit what is happening."

Beijing is seeking to wipe out its "original sin" both domestically and internationally, researcher Francois Heisbourg told AFP."Russia, Iran, Pakistan and Algeria amongst others wouldn't be displeased to announce together a post-Western 'new world order' when this crisis ends," the expert said.
