Why is it taboo to call it "China Virus" but "South African" and "British strain" isn't?

China Virus= bad and racist

CCP Virus= media not care or would ever say

South African strain= deadly and accurate name

British strain= spoken freely and without care.

So what's the deal?

Update:

Me thinks someone or something is foul at play

Update 2:

Stephenweinstein your whole comment contradicts your entire statement.

Alahn H you are just saying the same for African And britsh virus, too.

    CCP owns the "Party of the People", have for two decades at least.

    Don't want to offend the people who own the congress.

    Because of the REASON that it is being called that.  The new strains are identified by country to distinguish them from each other.  The original virus was called "China" to make China look bad.  CCP is simply inaccurate because it didn't come from the CCP at all.

    The first implies the whole thing is Chinese.   The rest just apply to variants
