Let's be real, when White people say Chinese, they mean all Asians regardless if they're Chinese or not.I don't think the "Chinese" in "Chinese Flu" refers to only the CCP.

Surprised the decorum police didn't get you.
This is what Asian Americans and this country as a whole are going to be dealing with, and people really come here with this "well actually, this outbreak started in China so..." nonsense.
Who in China told you that?
Yep.Let's be real, when White people say Chinese, they mean all Asians regardless if they're Chinese or not.

People in Trump's orbit are already calling it "Wuhan Virus" and "China Virus," so I think it's just a matter of days before TRump adopts that. There's a chance that because Trump is personally close with Xi Jinping, he might not use it, but I doubt it... If I were a betting man I'd bet Trump RT's someone saying "Wuhan Virus" or "China Virus" before Friday at 11:59PM.
There needs to be some kind of way we discuss how the Chinese government is held to account for how their policies and response to coronavirus has put the rest of the world at risk, while also not inflaming racist rhetoric.
Not that I'm sure what it has to do with a thread about race baiting this pandemic, but picking a fight with China is literally the last thing the world needs right now.There needs to be some kind of way we discuss how the Chinese government is held to account for how their policies and response to coronavirus has put the rest of the world at risk, while also not inflaming racist rhetoric.

Well in a sense he is not wrong. China (meaning the CCP regime, not its people) covered the outbreak up for months and as a direct result the world is in this mess.
Just to point out.
Once it was somewhat confirmed that it could be a new thing, WHO was informed (informed 31 December), the day after the wet market was closed.
Doctor raised concern around 25 December.
And the first case have gone to hospital was retroactively found to be around 25 nov (of course they did not know what it was, probably they took it for some weird case of flu).

Well no evidence has pointed out that authorities knew about a new virus from test results on November 17th. While information trickled out in January of a virus outbreak to the free world outside, inside China any information about it was covered up and any news reporting about it was forbidden. I visited China on January 18th for example, and literally NO ONE had heard about it!
Yeah, like we're handling it any better.Well in a sense he is not wrong. China (meaning the CCP regime, not its people) covered the outbreak up for months and as a direct result the world is in this mess.
But they did hid it for months as all facts point out. It also took awhile after first enquiries by the WHO to give actual accurate, non-falsified data. Meanwhile no action was undertaken by authorities for literally months, causing the global pandemic.Yes of course, they did underestimated the threat, but i think they were pretty open with the international community.
There were no delay informing WHO of the progress of the disease once it was confirmed for what it was.
It's just the phrase "They tried to hide for months" is not true as far the evidence are out.
No, but there is a no cover-up and people are not being disappeared for reporting about it.
Ebola= River in Congo
Zika= Forest in Uganda
Interesting that it's okay when it originates from Africa, but xenophobic if it is anywhere else

That doesn't doesn't excuse our government.No, but there is a no cover-up and people are not being disappeared for reporting about it.
Any statistical data is notoriously falsified. In the first few weeks the daily numbers given to WHO could be predicted by people days in advance, as the increase used to same ratio day on day for a while.How so?
It's not like the patient that go to hospital have covid on the forehead.
The first one was 17 Nov it was around Christmas that medical worker started notice something amiss.
What you mean by falsified data?
Didn't say that, just pointing out what started this mess in the first place.
Superb. And like with all threads about China's experience with the pandemic, it attracts the same nonsense about how there's no practical differences between what Wuhan's local government did and what the national government, let alone the local governments of other cities, did.It's lovely how a thread about how Trump trying to shift blame for his incompetence by blaming it on China turned into a thread about how much China sucks.
Good job everyone!
I'm not making "charitable interpretations" as the guy involved political motivations are abundantly clear. The fact however remains that Chinese dictatorship was at fault due to their months long cover up.If you are willing to make charitable interpretations of words by Trump, someone who refused to take his responsibility(his words), you might as well have no ground to walk on.
