The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is continuing to target the United States as part of an increasingly antagonistic disinformation campaign, to cover its own mishandling of the pandemic—now confirmed to have infected nearly 330,000 globally.

Over the past few days, as part of this anti-U.S. campaign, the CCP began pushing a new conspiracy theory, one that alleged the United States had access to the virus long before anyone because it was so swift in its development of a potential vaccine.
