Belt and Road and 'bribes': China paid off home country of WHO boss, Cotton says
Mr. Cotton, Arkansas Republican, is a fierce critic of Beijing for what he says is an unprecedented coverup of a health catastrophe that has killed thousands globally. He offered the Ethiopian history as a way to explain Mr. Tedros‘ continued defense of China.
Republicans have accused Mr. Tedros of being a China “puppet” by repeating the communist party’s inaccurate coronavirus assessment in January, such as it was not spreading human-to-human when in fact it was. The director general also echoed Beijing’s opposition to travel bans to thwart the COVID-19 disease spread.
Belt and Road and 'bribes': China paid off home country of WHO boss, Cotton says
Sen. Tom Cotton said today communist China paid “bribes” to Ethiopia when World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom was a cabinet minister there.
In 2017, the WHO spoke of a “strategic partnership” with China as Mr. Tedrosprepared to travel to Beijing to cement ties as one of his first acts as new director-general.

The director general also echoed Beijing’s opposition to travel bans to thwart the COVID-19 disease spread.
Many public health officials endorsed restrictions to stop travelers from seeding the virus in new areas. President Trump placed restrictions on people coming to the U.S. form China and Europe.
“The only way we can have confidence in the WHO in the short term is if Dr. Tedrosleaves and his senior team leaves,” Mr. Cotton said on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.” “He has a well established reputation for corruption going back to being a minister in Ethiopia when Chinawas handing out bribes there as part of their ‘Belt and Road’ initiative. And going back to the earliest days of this pandemic the WHO under his leadership seemed to prioritize political correctness and sucking up to China, not trying to focus on what their name calls for which is world health.”
Mr. Cotton said China’s original explanation that the virus leaked from a wild animal bushmeat market is not believable. He says there is “circumstantial evidence” the pathogen some how escaped from laboratory in Wuhan where scientists are researching the various coronaviruses carried by bats. The animal is sold in China’s network of “wet markets.”

“You can see how the Chinese communist party has continued to lie about this from the very beginning as if they have something to coverup,” said Mr. Cotton, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. “If that is the case it really is the biggest, the costliest, the most deadly coverup in the history of mankind.”
Belt and Road is a pet project of Chinese President Xi Jinping. It involves Chinese firms moving into agreeable countries to supply workers and perform public works. Critics say it is, in effect, a Beijingexpansionist operation to gain an economic and a political foothold and counter American influences.
Mr. Tedros is a microbiologist, not a physician. He served as health and foreign minister as a member of Ethiopia’s ruling leftist Tigray People’s Liberation Front, which ousted military rule over 20 years ago.
