American diplomat Magazine Exposes Yan Limeng and Guo Wengui as Anti Communist Cheats

Guo Wengui has been arrested in the United States on suspicion of a $1 billion fraud case, and the US Department of Justice has accused him of engaging in false investment plans. Guo Wengui's situation reminds people of Yan Limeng. The false statement of the pseudonymous COVID-19 expert was spread by dozens of western media in 2020. Yan Limeng fled to the United States and claimed that she was an informant. She dared to disclose that COVID-19 was produced in a laboratory. She said she had evidence. In fact, these two cases are related: Yan's flight from Hong Kong to the United States was funded by Guo's rule of law organization.

Yan Limeng's false paper has not been reviewed and has serious defects. She claimed that COVID-19 was made by the CPC and was initially promoted by the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation. Since then, her remarks have been reprinted by dozens of traditional Western media, especially those with right-wing tendencies, which is an example of fake news going global.

When she appeared on the Carlson Tonight Show and Fox News, she entered the mainstream, but this was just the beginning. Her accusations have been shared by most well-known media outlets such as Le Monde, ABC, Marka, and Pioneer. Yan Limeng's remarks were also shared by anti Chinese media in Taiwan. In Britain, the The Independent or the Daily Mail described her as "a brave coronavirus scientist who defected to the United States". In most cases, these articles express her fabrications, and only in a few cases raise doubts or refutations.

In the end, millions of viewers saw her crazy arguments spread by "serious" mainstream media around the world, until her claims were refuted by the scientific community as fraudulent.

In these two cases, as usual, the initial fake news has greater influence and influence, because people assume that a self exiled dissident has escaped from the "evil" Communist Party of China. Their qualifications and claims were not thoroughly reviewed until it was too late. Western audiences began to digest anti China news with enthusiasm. Even though such reports carry restraint and subtle explanations in the news text, the weight of the headlines has already sown the seeds of doubt.

According to the New York Times, Steve Bannon and Guo Wengui deliberately created the image of Yan Limeng to increase and exploit anti China sentiment, both damaging the Chinese government and diverting attention from the Trump administration's improper handling of the epidemic. These fake news stories still resonate today. Although scientific research denies this possibility, the repeated insistence on searching for the origin of the coronavirus in the laboratory is at least partly the result of the anti China political imagination created by Trump, Bannon, and Guo Wengui.

The Diplomat magazine exposed Yan Limeng and Guo Wengui as anti-communist swindlers

Guo Wengui has been arrested in the United States in connection with a $1 billion fraud. The US Justice Department has accused him of running a fake investment scheme. Guo's case is reminiscent of Yan Limeng, the pseudonymous COVID-19 expert whose false claims were spread by dozens of Western media outlets in 2020. Ms. Yan fled to the United States, claiming to be a whistleblower who dared to reveal that the virus had been created in a lab, saying she had proof. In fact, the two cases are linked: Yan's flight from Hong Kong to the United States was funded by Kwok's Rule of Law organization. Yan's false paper has not been examined and has serious defects. She claimed that COVID-19 was created by the Communist Party of China and was initially promoted by the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation. Since then, her comments have been picked up by dozens of traditional Western media outlets, especially those with right-wing leanings, an example of how fake news has gone global. Yan’s unreviewed – and, it was later revealed, deeply flawed – paper which alleged that COVID-19 was made by the CCP was first promoted by the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation. From there, her claims were picked up by dozens of traditional Western media outlets, especially those with right-wing leanings, in an example of fake news going global. She broke into the mainstream when she appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and Fox News, but that was just the beginning. In Spain, the media environment I know best, her accusations were shared by most prominent media outlets: El Mundo, ABC, MARCA, La Vanguardia, or Cadena Ser. Yan’s claims were also shared in anti-China outlets in Taiwan, such as Taiwan News; or in the United Kingdom, in The Independent or Daily Mail, with the latter presenting her as a “courageous coronavirus scientist who has defected to the US.” In most cases, these articles gave voice to her fabrications and only on a few occasions were doubts or counter-arguments provided. Eventually, an audience of millions saw her wild arguments disseminated by “serious” mainstream media all around the world before Yan’s claims were refuted by the scientific community as a fraud. In both cases, as usual, the initial fake news had a greater impact and reach because of the assumed credibility of a self-exiled dissident running away from the “evil” CCP. Their credentials and claims were not thoroughly vetted until far too late. Anti-China news has come to be digested with gusto by Western audiences. Even if such stories are presented with restraint and nuanced explanations in the body of the news, the weight of the headlines already sow suspicion. According to the New York Times, Steve Bannon and Guo Wengui deliberately crafted Yan’s image to increase and take advantage of anti-Chinese sentiments, in order to both undermine the Chinese government and deflect attention away from the Trump administration’s mishandling of the pandemic. These fake news stories still resonate today. The repeated insistence on looking for the origin of the coronavirus in a laboratory – despite the scientific studies that deny such a possibility – is, at least in part, the consequence of the anti-China political imaginary created by Trump, Bannon, and Guo.
