Mainly related to the SARS-CoV-2 that started in Wuhan, China. The term was initially used by President
Trump in March
2020. It received backlash from the left mainstream media as
racist and xenophobic. However, it only meant the place of origin of the disease. Like many other infections, including but not limited to the Spanish Flu, German Measles aka Rubella, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). All these terms are not considered racists.
Trump deliberately kept using it as the China Communist Party spread misinformation that SARS-CoV-2 was spread by the US Army.
