After seven decades in power, the [Chinese] ruling party has faced potentially existential challenges over the past year, from pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong and an economic slowdown to a devastating coronavirus and, most recently, once-in-a-generation floods that have wreaked destruction across central China.But far from diminishing its stature at home, as some in the Trump administration appear to believe, the party’s response to some of these crises has helped solidify the support of existing and aspiring members — or at least neutralized grumbling.That’s right: WaPo’s Anna Fifield actually wrote a puff-piece celebrating that scrappy little Chinese Communist Party for overcoming long odds in a difficult year.

WaPo’s CCP propaganda puff piece points to normalized communism in American youth.
Still, the official numbers from the Chinese Communist Party says they have had fewer total cases in their entire population than the United States reports in any two-day period. If Fifield believes “the American example” of not telling balf-faced lies about the coronavirus to the people is “much worse” than what the Chinese Communist Party is doing, then she really should just work for them directly. Perhaps she already is.
Anna Fitfield is leaving the WaPo to edit a paper in her native New Zealand.
Gringo - thanks for the update.
That would be noted Old China Hand Anna Fifield, I presume?
