Biden’s Food Security Expert Has Starred In Chinese Communist Party Propaganda
A Co-Chair of President Joe Biden’s forthcoming White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health has appeared in documentaries produced by Chinese Communist Party-run outlets; lauding the regime’s agriculture and food policy as an approach that should be “learned by the whole world.”
Ertharin Cousin, one of five individuals selected by President Biden to lead the conference, has also repeatedly praised the Chinese Communist Party’s agricultural policies, with her quotes frequently appearing on regime-run media.
Set to take place in September, the White House’s conference is slated to address nutrition and health in addition to food security and agriculture. It comes as inflation and food shortages plague the economy, dovetailing with efforts by left-wing activists and billionaires to eliminate meat from Western diets to supposedly combat climate change.
Cousin, who was a former executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme, appeared on an episode of China Global Television Network’s (CGTN) show Full Frame titled “The Hunger Paradox.”
Cousin is the sole interviewee in the 20-minute program aired by CGTN, which is entirely owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party. It has been described by the Freedom House think tank as “a long-standing weapon in Beijing’s arsenal of repression” whose “mission is to attack designated enemies of the Communist Party.”
The episode peddles Chinese Communist Party talking points surrounding the success of its agriculture methods despite the regime’s notoriety for famine and food rationing during the Cultural Revolution.
“In China, agricultural reforms ensured most rural farmers had land to grow on, allowing them to be food self-sufficient. China’s poverty reduction efforts have contributed to 70 percent of the world-wide poverty reduction since the 1980’s,” asserts the host, who makes no mention of China’s history of famine.
“One of the things I’ve heard you say, which I think is fascinating and true, is that policies do make a difference and you point to China. So many people lifted out of poverty, so many people hungry that now have meals, so policies do make a difference don’t they,” he continues.
“Yes they do,” responds Cousin, adding “You would often hear me use China as an example of a country that the world said would never feed itself. That it would always depend upon assistance from the global community because 50 years ago, China was WFP’s largest recipient, and that all evolved to the point where President Xi now says that he will eradicate poverty by the end of 2020.”
“I’m looking forward to that,” Cousin exclaims.
Cousin proceeds to explicitly praise the actions of the Chinese Communist Party, praising the regime for its “commitment”:
“It did take commitment from government to developing the programs, investing in the activities that were necessary to ensure the agricultural system was one that could provide access to food, but also ensuring that people who could not afford food had access to food. And that made a difference in the evolution of China, and there are many other factors involved there but the reality of it is is it began with a commitment by leadership to ensure that they were self-sustained in food access.”
Cousin, who served in the Obama administration as the Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, has made similar comments throughout her public service tenure.
“China has made enormous progress in dealing with hunger and its experience can be learned by the whole world,” Cousin said during a visit to China in 2013, which was hyped in an article by state-run media outlet China Daily.
In 2016, speaking with another state-run media outlet Xinhua, she claimed that “China has created significant lessons for the world and established a true benchmark for what the world can achieve.”
As recently as July 2021, while delivering a keynote address at a conference, Cousin again praised the Chinese Communist Party for “despite the fact that some 60 years ago, the world said China would never be able to feed itself, not only does it feed itself today, but it is also a donor country, supporting food access across the globe for developing countries.”
In addition to Cousin’s praise for China potentially complicating her leadership role for the upcoming White Conference, she has also served on the Advisory board of pharmaceutical giant Bayer since 2019.

FBI Director Wray admits alleged bias in Hunter Biden probe ‘deeply troubling’
Allegations that biased FBI agents shielded first son Hunter Biden from criminal investigations are “deeply troubling,” FBI Director Christopher Wray was forced to admit Thursday under grilling from Republican senators — before cutting the Q&A short by claiming he needed to catch a flight.
The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) noted that Wray wasn’t flying commercial and pleaded in vain for the FBI chief to reschedule the departure of his government jet.

Peter Hotez on the Texas-made COVID vaccine that could help billions
Dr. Peter Hotez has become one of the faces of the pandemic. The bow-tied Texas scientist has been all over radio and television — and on this podcast, too — explaining viruses generally and COVID-19 specifically. Now Hotez and his partner, PhD scientist Maria Elena Bottazzi, have developed a vaccine that would be cheap and easy to produce.
Officials in India were eager to partner with the Texas team to develop an effective vaccine that could be mass produced, cheaply and easily. That is what we now know as CORBEVAX, which was recently approved for emergency use.
Hotez said it's patent-free, and the goal isn't to make money.
"We're trying to get the world vaccinated by having it produced locally all over the world," he said. "I always like to say when your house is on fire and you can only make one call, you don't call a lawyer. You call the fire department. So, we're the fire department — no strings attached."
When it became clear he was not going to get government funding to develop this vaccine, he reached out to other Texans for support.
"It was really tough. You know, at the beginning of the pandemic, we had to raise the money for it. We did it through Texas-based philanthropies… That's how we did it. It raised about $6, $7 million," Hotez said.

The Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are the most common diseases of the world's poor. These 17 parasitic and bacterial infections infect more than one billion people around the world. Without treatment, NTDs can lead to malnutrition, blindness, severe physical disabilities and even death. Controlling and eliminating NTDs is critical to ending extreme poverty. Much of the medication to treat the most common NTDs is donated by pharmaceutical companies, making NTD treatment one of the world’s most cost-effective health interventions.
In 2006, Sabin co-founded the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases to raise the awareness, political will and funding necessary to control and eliminate the most common NTDs. Over the next decade, the Global Network played a key role in building the political support, public awareness, and funding required to prioritize the most common NTDs on the global health agenda and progress toward control and elimination of these diseases. The Global Network mobilized more than $165 million of new resources for NTD programs and leveraged approximately $1.53 billion in indirect benefits to affected populations.
The Global Network engaged foreign governments, international organizations and multilateral policy platforms to increase support for NTD treatment; expanded or developed NTD coalitions in key donor countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany; led national and state-level advocacy efforts in India and Nigeria, two countries with the world’s highest NTD burden; achieved breakthrough regional resolutions to control and eliminate NTDs and built the case for integrating NTDs into other health and development efforts. Through innovative approaches like the establishment of our NTD Special Envoy Program and launch of the award-winning END7 campaign, the Global Network brought new partners into the NTD effort and built a strong foundation of global support for control and elimination activities.
Over the past decade, these neglected diseases have been added to the global agenda for sustainable development, driving a remarkable expansion of treatment and prevention programs in some of the world’s poorest communities. The founding vision of the Global Network – a world free of NTDs where all people are able to grow, learn and become productive members of their communities – is now within reach.
Sabin is proud of the achievements of the Global Network, which concluded operations in 2016. A strong network of global health organizations are well positioned to carry NTD control and elimination efforts forward. Sabin’s commitment to preventing needless human suffering continues as we focus on making life-saving vaccines more accessible and expanding immunization across the globe.
