Could you blame China, even if the information it initially provided about Covid-19 wasn’t flawless?
2. Should Chinese authorities issue a disclaimer, everytime they communicated with their foreign peers? ?
3. What should you expect, given the fact that this new strain of coronavirus only emerged not long ago?
4. To err is human.
Obviously, there are now concerted efforts to capitalize on this pandemic crisis to dictate unreasonable terms to China.
Even Dr Fauci is guilty of trying to scapegoat China, making unsubstantiated claims, in bid to excuse himself for earlier misjudgment, while covering up the Trump administration’s unforgivable fumble.
No test is better than a crisis situation, when even the most trusted characters may reveal their true colors. This is perhaps, the silver lining of it all, to see the US resort to “hijacking” protective face masks made in China for its European allies.
Through rendering crucial medical assistance to countries in their most desperate hour of need, the experience gained is unprecedented. The relevant expertise won standing in solidarity with the global community is arguably what China values the most, to strengthen future preparedness.

No amount of material wealth can buy an effective response mechanism to a crisis. The fraternity bond that is built with tears and blood will not be easily broken.
Chinese diplomacy put it in sharp contrast to America’s brute capitalism reminiscent of highway robbery. No amount of China-bashing smearing campaign will make up for lost ground on US credibility.
We are in uncharted territory, where the vulnerabilities, incompetence, irresponsibility, hypocrisy, and ugliness of Western liberal democracy are laid bare.
It is the moment of truth for the healthcare system under free market capitalism, that boasts transparency, accountability and legitimacy.
American bankruptcy is nearly complete, with global remifications far beyond the financial sector. The market meltdown of Wall Street following the paralysis of New York City is only manifestation of the rot seen throughout the US, both top-down and bottom-up. Nothing will compensate that in the foreseeable future.
Ultimate victory ultimately depends not on advanced tech, complicated strategy and calculations. It is simply doing the simple things right.
我敢断言，即便中国倾家荡产，把整个国家都赔你，你也无福消受。

1. China’s wet markets are enough to scare the shit out of them.
When did wet markets turn into WMD?
Why the “paper tiger” reaction?
2. What’s the credibility of US experts, given the pandemic crisis in the US, not least NYC, the global capital of capitalism?
3. What does the paralysis of NYC portend for liberal market capitalism?
4. What are Dr Fauci’s intentions in making unsubstantiated claims that link Covid-19 to Wuhan’s wet market?
5. How many marks would you award Dr Fauci, given the situation in the US?
He said NYC did nothing wrong, in crisis-management.
***
Wet markets are commonly seen throughout most parts of the world, including Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan, just to name a few in the region. Europe too, has its own wet markets.
When did China invent wet markets?
By the way, Dr Fauci seemed to have missed the golden opportunity to contain the spread of Covid-19 early on in the US, not least New York.
Moreover, where’s the evidence directly linking patient zero, whom hasn’t even been identified, to wet markets in Wuhan?
Is that even a scientific assessment by Dr Fauci, given many other possible routes of transmission? ?
Let’s be honest to ourselves and stop trying to shift the blame, for once. Scapegoating China won’t contribute to solving the challenge by any measure.

Why does it matter, where Covid-19 originated?
Different possibilities exist.
From a scientific perspective, it may help in crafting better preventive measures.
However, that does not change the fact that this particular strain of novel coronavirus was discovered, identified and reported, thanks to China.
China has no more or less responsibility to the world, regardless of the origin of the virus, or Covid-19 (note the distinction between the virus and the disease caused by it).
Otherwise, does it mean the country of its origin, that failed in detecting its presence or identifying it, is now suddenly responsible for the global pandemic crisis?
Is that reasonable? Would that make any logical sense?
***
All misinformation or just anything negative about China is “free speech”.
All positive news about the country, however truthful, is only “propaganda”.
When China assisted Africa, or made foreign infrastructure investments, Beijing had sinister agenda.
When America bombed sovereign nations back to the Stone Age, it was all simply fighting for freedom.
When global discourse is hijacked, this is the Orwellian narrative of our times.

When the Chinese seemed to be the sole people battling the coronavirus, their plea for greater international understanding fell on death ears.
They did sound stark warnings through the state media, that the coronavirus wasn’t found to be racist, urging a united global front in the war on a common viral threat. World leaders couldn’t care less.
The following instances sow seeds of doubt on the credibility of American leadership in the world.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says China’s coronavirus ‘will help’ bring jobs back to U.S.

Who do you blame, when you are down with flu last time, this time, or perhaps next time? ?
How could an “authoritarian regime” be responsible for what happened within the borders of a “liberal democracy”?
Is there genuine accountability, under a liberal democratic system built on transparency?
Look what I shared: US Air Force Flew Half a Million Coronavirus Test Swabs From Italy to Tennessee – Defense One @MIUI| https://www.defenseone.com/…/us-air-force-flew…/163879/
Now that the chickens have come home to roost, the Trump administration is still desperately branding Covid-19 as a “Chinese disease”, trying to pin the blame on China, despite mounting evidence.
