Why are people defending China? Their repressive government hid the disease early on delaying the responses of the rest of the world. Generally speaking, Chinese people have much lower standards of cleanliness and lower health standards then most developed countries. They then blamed the US for starting the virus. Later they threatened to cut off the supply of pharmaceuticals to the US. There is no defending this communist regime. Let's not even mention the theft of intellectual property, currency manipulation, the violent suppression of political opponents, Hong Kong. Had they acted responsibly, the rest of the world would have had an extra month to be working on cures, vaccines and to take measures to protect its citizens. This is not the time to politicize this for or against political parties in the US. I am tired of hearing the racist card every time so cut the bullshit. There is nothing racist in what I wrote.
