EU says China behind 'huge wave' of Covid-19 disinformation | World news | The Guardian: “I believe if we have evidence we should not shy away from naming and shaming,” Vĕra Jourov�, a European commission vice-president, told reporters.�“What we also witnessed is a surge in narratives undermining our democracies and in effect our response to the crisis, for example the claim there are secret US biological laboratories on former Soviet republics has been spread by both pro-Kremlin outlets, as well as Chinese officials and state media.”
“I strongly believe that a geopolitically strong EU can only materialise if we are assertive,” Jourov� said, alluding to the aim of the European commission’s president, Ursula von der Leyen, for the body to have more clout on the world stage.
