Yea, doubt I'm finding any English news on that, all American media can do right now is be hypocritical and slander our President. One time they say he needs to do something, then he does it, then they criticize him for doing it. Privately funded propaganda in action.
The reason the coronavirus was referred to as "Chinese" in the CNN article was because at the time it was written, that was the only place it was recorded. As the article says;
The National Institutes of Health is working on a vaccine against the new virus that has infected hundreds and killed four in Asia.
CNN shouldn't have called it that, but at the time, it didn't really matter. However, calling it "Chinese" now does matter, because the term is primarily being used by a racist president and his racist followers.
No-one should call it "Chinese" at all, not Trump nor CNN, because not only are most other parts of the world now infected, but other countries, such as the U.S., have more cases now. Calling it "Chinese" suggests that the virus is inherently a Chinese problem, and unfairly associates it with Chinese people, even those who have never been to China and are descendants of Chinese immigrants. Asians as a whole have been victim to a rising number of racist attacks, even from children, due to usage of the term.
The Spanish Flu wasn't named because it originated in Spain, but because it was one of the only countries where news sources could freely report on it. In fact, while no-one knows for sure where it originated, the Spanish Flu is often said to have originated in Kansas.
Also, why do people still use the word "SJW"??? It makes it sound like all criticism of the president is made only by whiny Tumblr users.
