The Chinese communist regime put up ads on a video screen in Times Square in New York City, claiming to be leading the world’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, right after it refused to share raw patient data with the World Health Organization (WHO) in Wuhan during its investigation into the origins of COVID-19.

The Chinese state-owned media Xinhua News is the ruling Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) mouthpiece. It has leased a large video screen in Times Square to run propaganda for the communist regime since 2011.
