Tinfoil hat: I'm not keeping active track, but I passively perceived a sheer drop in mentions of the fact that Wuhan has China's first "biosafety level 4" laboratory, coinciding with an increased lambasting of the US's handling of their infections in the general media (" The Wuhan virus is now the American virus "), along with a streak of random US-critical posts (" What is the worst thing the US government has done?…

No shit. Just like you are filtering a narrative. Just like the US government is filtering a narrative. We are involved in a major trade war.
You are doing the exact same thing you claim "china" is doing.
