The memos are detailed in everything from how to link Democratic candidates to Chinese officials to how to deal with allegations of racism.

The authors give them three main attack routes:

"The new crown virus was a 'hit-and-run' in China and then covered up, resulting in thousands of deaths."The memo added.

Top Republicans also used the document to guide candidates:In answering any questions about the virus, he consistently conveyed his opposition to ChinaAsked if the current outbreak in the United States was Trump's fault, the candidate was also advised to shift the conversation to China.

For example, when asked about alleged incitement to racism in China, the candidate was asked to answer:No one is blaming Chinese-Americans. It is China's fault that they 'cover up' the virus and 'lie' about its dangers. That led to the pandemic, for which they were responsible.”

"Attacking China will be effective"

Many of the tricks in the memo are "right" with recent performance by American politicians.

Trump's re-election campaign, for example, recently released a video,It deliberately creates the impression that Democratic candidate Joe Biden is friendly to China.

On April 9, Trump posted a campaign ad on his YouTube account that pointed to Biden, the only Democratic candidate of the year.This is the usual "infighting" between the two parties in the United States, but Trump in the video let China "lie down with a gun." "Before and during the outbreak of New Crown Pneumonia, Joe Biden has been defending China, ignoring that they are an economic threat, and opposing travel restrictions imposed by President Trump on China," the video brief said. "

"At a time when America is in crisis, Biden is protecting China's feelings." The video opens with Biden directed at him.

The campaign ad also picks up Biden's previous speech in front of a background board with the words "Sichuan University" written on it, with only one line: "China's continued prosperity is in our own interest."

Hua Chunying: It's a good play.

However, the document was called a "red book of lies" by American netizens.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying also praised the "good script".

On the 25th, Hua Chunying even suggested that everyone look at it, and attached a link and screenshot of the report on politico, a US political news website, and marked some of the content in red.

Under Hua Chunying's tweet, some netizens called the Move by the Republican Senate National Committee "disgraceful."

Some netizens believe that this is "the standard operating procedures in the United States".

Some netizens have criticized U.S. politicians for not caring about their citizens' lives and spending most of their time denigrating China.

According to the Global Times, "such behavior is really rare," said Yuan Zheng, director of the U.S. Diplomatic Office at the American Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. This, he argues, reflects the fact that a group of hardliners in the Republican Party no longer care about relations with China.

Yuan Zheng said that at present, both The Democratic Party and the Republican Party have brought the new crown outbreak to the political level of the election. The Trump administration and the Republican Party are certainly to be held accountable for their previous inability to respond to the new crown outbreak, but they have to dump pots to China because they can't shake them at home. "It's hard to say how much the Republican Party's main purpose in doing this is to reduce its guilt at home, but at least it can divert attention." Yuan Zheng said.
