Some may remember back in early 2000's, fisking was quite popular on blogs. Here's one that is as good as many I remember. Tim Blair is an excellent writer, this is a real take down of China and WHO:

Via Local Commie Underlings, Beijing Officially Disapproves

The Daily Telegraph this week received a letter from the Australian Consulate General of the People's Republic of China, who took gentle issue with our excellent coverage of the coronavirus crisis.


Following is a point-by-point response to the Consulate General and China’s communist dictatorship:


Recently the Daily Telegraph has published a number of reports and opinions about China’s response to COVID-19 that are full of ignorance, prejudice and arrogance.


If a state-owned newspaper in China received this kind of complaint, subsequent days would involve journalists waking up in prison with their organs harvested.


Tracing the origin of the virus is a scientific issue that requires professional, science-based assessment.


Sure it does. How professional and science-based was the claim published on March 12 by China’s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian that “it might be US Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan”?


The origin of the virus is still undetermined, and the World Health Organization has named the novel coronavirus “COVID-19”.


The World Health Organisation also appointed Zimbabwean murderer Robert Mugabe as its Goodwill Ambassador and declared on March 2 that the “stigma” of the coronavirus “is more dangerous than the virus itself”.


The World Health Organisation does a lot of stupid stuff.

...
Your recent coverage on the epidemic in China are exaggerated, full of irresponsible rumours and highly politicized.

Naughty us.
Please send an official Dr Li Wenliang “unfounded and illegal rumour” denunciation statement (https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/1853329/beijing-seeks-to-make-virus-martyr-its-own) so we can sign it and be on our way.
UPDATE. Reader Tim asks:
Please tell me that this response was actually sent back to them.

Even better. It was published on a double-page 6-7 spread in Saturday’s Daily Telegraph:

Like someone's first impulse, it's usually right.

That's why I believe the very first story we heard about where this virus came from more than any other, even though the democrat propaganda wing has gone to great lengths to try and discredit the story, there are still some very incriminating and indisputable facts that say china stole the virus from a Canadian lab and then was careless with it and let it infected the world. I think there's actually more proof that is what happened than the questionable excuses the leftist spin machine is purporting, including the fact that the left seems more aligned with and prone to DEFEND china than America...
