China is shaping a fake narrative of the coronavirus pandemic. But it’s not going to work.

The facts are clear. China enabled its domestic epidemic to become a global pandemic by hiding the scale and nature of what was happening in Hubei province in December 2019 and January 2020. It refused to allow international health teams into Wuhan city to study the virus. And it failed to restrict travel outside China, even when the virus had spread across the mainland.
