Chinese government response to Coronavirus

I agree but we shouldn’t tolerate posting bullshit Chinese government propaganda ITT as if it is legitimate.

Last reply to save tarding up the thread…

In my lifetime, the US have been dropping the bombs, droning the innocent in far away places.

I don’t really care how China deals with whistleblowers. Sure, they lock a few up as it would appear US wants to do with Assange.

lol “lock up a few”. If you’re worried about “tarding” up the thread then you could start by not posting Chinese government bullshit propaganda as if it were legitimate. Just because you (justifiably) think the US government is bad doesn’t mean the Chinese government is good.

Which parts of my posting would you like to challenge the legitimacy of?
Were hundreds of US army not in Wuhan in October 2019?
Has US confirmed location / date of US ground zero patient?

It’s fair to say the US is lacking ‘transparency’

Yeah, this. I’ll buy it maybe came from a Chinese lab, don’t really care.

lol, how would we even begin to figure this out?

dunno man if it originated from a Chinese lab seems like that would be worth knowing. Like maybe they should improve their safety practices or something?

as opposed to the Chinese government you’re so bizarrely favorable towards, which has been remarkably transparent during this pandemic!

They’re not particularly responsive to international pressures and to the extent that they make a gesture towards doing so, it’s apt to be just that, gesturing. If it escaped from a lab, they’re either going to improve the practices at that lab (and probably execute a few people) or they’re not. I doubt there’s a whole lot the ‘international community’ can do about it either way.

Sanctions, rethink trade relationships. There’s a lot that can be done.

In theory, maybe. In practice, it just won’t be. No-one’s talking about sanctions and rethinking stuff while the prevailing theory is it came from a livestock market.

Good luck with that. It’s a respiratory virus and carriers are contagious for weeks before symptoms appear. We’re never pinning down who Patient Zero is. Any why would the gov’t keep it a secret? This is conspiritarding ITT.

The US released it and blamed China for that very reason. Keed is Trump.

uh, which is why it would be worth knowing if the virus originated in a lab accident in China?

or a lab in Fort Detrick, US

If there was a mysterious viral outbreak tearing through Maryland I agree that would be a question at least worth asking.

huh, they sound like some bad hombres, maybe we should rethink our trade relationships with them regardless

Can’t decide if I agree or not, did the trade relationships COME FROM A LAB?
