Here, someone asked the following question :
On March 18th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China announced new measures that would be implemented against several US news organizations, including a demand that
journalists of US citizenship working with the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post whose press credentials are due to expire before the end of 2020 notify the Department of Information of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within four calendar days starting from today and hand back their press cards within ten calendar days. They will not be allowed to continue working as journalists in the People's Republic of China, including its Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions.
The justification given by the Ministry is that the US has implemented similar measures on Chinese media organizations:
For instance, in December 2018, the US ordered certain Chinese media organizations in the US to register as "foreign agents"; in February 2020, it designated five Chinese media entities in the US as "foreign missions" and imposed a cap on the number of their employees, in effect expelling Chinese journalists from the US.
What is the background behind these measures? Has the US done as China accuses, and if so, what reasons were given for taking these steps? Are the measures related at all to the reporting of the COVID-19 virus, which saw three WSJ reporters expelled from the country in February?
I responded to this with the following answer :
I've been doing hours of research into this matter, and I keep finding more any more pieces of the puzzle, all pointing to the same conclusion : the US released the coronavirus as a bioweapon, intended to weaken China & Iran and to paralyze Europe while it the US prepares for stage to in what is essentially a hybrid war.
Something else I learnt today, besides probable US involvement in the release of COVID-19, is that they just happened to have planned to do the biggest NATO war game on European soil in 20+ years, with 30,000 American troops, just this month. All, while China & Iran seem ever more confident the US launched a pre-emptive biological attack on them.
There's so many strange "coincidences", really, that all make sense once you consider the US may just have started WW3 and the coronavirus pandemic is stage one.
The one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet, is if this pandemic was supposed to go global, or if things just got out or hand real fast. Either way, the US already claiming they have a vaccine suggests they probably at least considered the risk and were willing to take it because that vaccine was waiting somewhere in a vault...
Anyway, once you figured all this out, it should be obvious why US journalists are expelled from China: the US pretty much started WW3 against China, and China is now taking protective measures. This includes expelling American journalists, as the media plays an important role in psychological warfare, and some of these journalists may even be actual spies. The last thing you want when you're at war with a foreign country, is enemy agents & propagandists sabotaging your efforts from within!
That answer got downvoted, then deleted, and then the person raising the question seems to have deleted his question.
Here, I found a related question :
President Trump speaking yesterday (Feb 26th 2020) gave an update about the response of the US to the novel coronavirus outbreak. In an announcement that introduced a new team to tackle the virus, Trump said that
Because of all we've done (so far), the risk to the American people remains very low.
and that
It is what it is. We're ready for it. We're really prepared. We have, as I said, we have the greatest people in the world. We're very ready for it. We hope it doesn't spread. There's a chance that it won't spread, too. And there's a chance that it will.
The president's remarks were then followed by Dr Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who reiterated the organisation's remarks of February 25th where the director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, said that:
Ultimately, we expect we will see community spread in this country.
What measures, referred to by the President, have already been taken by the US government to prepare for the virus? Which of these have the Trump administration been responsible for? What is the purpose of the new team announced yesterday?
I responded to this with a variation on my answer to the other question :
Yes! Not only did they prepare for it, they probably are responsible for it.

That answer got deleted almost immediately by a moderator with the following comment :
This is a ridiculous conspiracy theory which is disputed by pretty much every medical professional who knows their stuff. Please stop spreading it.
How is this acceptable?
Suppose I'm wrong, why not just counter those claims with sources that prove me wrong?
Suppose I'm right, doesn't the public have the right to know what's going on?
How does censoring this kind of perspective really help people who are trying to make sense of this crazy time we're living in?
