US states are working independently and the federal government has not made efforts to keep them unified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The propaganda outlet pointedly noted that Trump, not Biden, led the federal effort to develop vaccine products against the Chinese coronavirus and that no significant medical developments have occurred under Biden\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBiden has not made any practical moves, which is retrogression,\u201d the outlet concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Global Times<\/em> also appeared to float the idea that Biden should resign from office due to his failure to contain the pandemic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Anyone who\u2019s responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America,\u2019 Biden said so during his final presidential debate with Trump in October 2020,\u201d the newspaper noted. \u201cHowever \u2026 [t]he death toll during each of the parties\u2019 is comparable. How can Biden explain this, and who should be held responsible for the deaths of these innocent people?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Times<\/em> concluded, as it often does regardless of the topic discussed by its articles, that the American free political system is \u201cdubious,\u201d based exclusively on Biden\u2019s incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the pages of China\u2019s most belligerent English-language outlet, the&nbsp;<em>Global Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globaltimes.cn\/page\/202112\/1243520.shtml\">admitted<\/a> that China is facing one of the worst outbreaks of Chinese coronavirus since the pandemic began in Wuhan in late 2019. The Chinese government claims a mere 200 coronavirus cases were confirmed on Monday, but that number is the largest the regime has admitted to since at least April 2020. Cases are peaking as China prepares to welcome athletes and world leaders for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, threatening to turn the Games into a super-spreader event. Prior to cases peaking, China <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/12\/13\/china-bans-officials-olympics-neighborhood-fleeing-coronavirus-outbreak\/\">banned<\/a> local officials from leaving the Beijing neighborhoods scheduled to host the Olympics this month out of fear of the negative optics of politicians leaving as the ceremonies begin.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Last week, the Communist Party <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/12\/24\/china-admits-13-million-people-lockdown-panic-move-genocide-olympics\/\">locked down<\/a> Xi\u2019an, a regional capital that is home to 13 million people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe outbreak in Xi\u2019an has spread to many cities across China, including Dongguan, South China\u2019s Guangdong Province and Beijing, where the 2022 Winter Olympics will begin on February 4,\u201d the <em>Global Times<\/em> noted on Tuesday. \u201cAlthough this [Chinese coronavirus] outbreak has increased the prevention pressure for China, Chinese health experts noted that China will ensure a safe international sports event since it can draw on lessons learned from previous experience in quelling local outbreaks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Times<\/em> did not elaborate on this \u201cprevious experience.\u201d China\u2019s management of the virus in Wuhan, however, was notoriously among the worst in the world. With knowledge of an infectious respiratory disease spreading in the city, Wuhan officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2020\/01\/27\/wuhan-mayor-admits-five-million-left-before-virus-lockdown\/\">allowed<\/a> 5 million people to leave the area for the Lunar New Year holiday, spreading the virus globally. Wuhan also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/national-security\/2020\/01\/26\/amid-deadly-virus-outbreak-china-tried-to-hold-worlds-largest-banquet\/\">hosted<\/a> an indoor banquet for 130,000 people, many of them elderly and more vulnerable to severe coronavirus cases, in late January 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese state media reports do not indicate that Xi, the chairman of the Communist Party, is doing anything to respond to the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The&nbsp;<em>Global Times<\/em> did not mention him engaging in any work regarding the current outbreaks in reports on Tuesday. The&nbsp;<em>People\u2019s Daily<\/em>, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, also featured no content on Tuesday elaborating on any work Xi is doing personally to combat the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The state-run Xinhua News Agency ran a feature on Monday on Xi\u2019s involvement in space exploration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cXi may have his feet firmly on the ground, but he has his eyes on the stars,\u201d the agency <a href=\"https:\/\/english.news.cn\/20211227\/fd7be02646814d9d8f13810f49930f5e\/c.html\">declared<\/a>.
