You should be far more concerned that the British government is failing the British people. Save your anger for your own government whose responsibility is for its own people. China is only responsible for China
I’m concerned about setting the record straight. I’m not interested in defending Boris Johnson’s plans, please paste anything I’ve said here that suggests this. I have loved ones still in lockdown in China so yes, I’m very fucking concerned about the situation.
Oh dear Lord, a 'salient portion' from none other rag than the Daily Mail. Quoting the Torygraph
Quoting real actual people saying things you can look up elsewhere. Funny, would you say this when the DM reports on trans issues? I suspect not.
You are doing your utmost to take the spotlight off the failings of the British government to deal adequately and appropriately with this crisis by continuing to harp on about China
Of course China’s failures do not absolve Boris. Stop putting words in my mouth. I would not have weighed in on this thread if a PP hadn’t brought China in as some sort of beacon to follow.
Their measures once they got the ball rolling prevented millions of deaths and showed the world what was necessary. They didn't ignore anything once 'their own people' started dying
You obviously didn’t read the Vox article. Let me post some damning tidbits:
Chinese authorities delayed informing the world about the severity of a deadly disease spreading within the country’s borders — even trying to muzzle whistleblowers, like the late Dr. Li Wenliang. Now hailed as a national hero, Li was forced on January 3 by police to sign a letter saying he spread “untrue speech” for warning colleagues about the virus that eventually took his life. With more than 40,500 people infected and 910 deaths, China’s missteps early on seem increasingly fateful. The fact that the international community has not acknowledged those missteps is also consequential
And
“[This] delay in announcing the first cases of coronavirus for several weeks meant that during that time, millions of people traveled outside of Wuhan, so it was precious time lost,” Gostin said. According to the Financial Times, some 5 million people left Wuhan in the weeks before the city was quarantined on January 22, “thus helping to transport the virus all over the country and overseas.” “If the officials had disclosed information about the epidemic earlier,” Li told the Times before he died, “I think it would have been a lot better. There should be more openness and transparency.”
You do not need to praise China to slam Boris Johnson’s response.
