Lessons from China's early coronavirus response

In two months, the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China has spread to every province of China and at least 23 countries around the world. Journalists, scholars, and public health experts point to the lack of data and public communication in the initial and critical stage of the virus’s spread.
This pattern is not new. In 2019, a deadly pig virus called African swine fever started out as a local problem but eventually grew into a national crisis and a global threat. During the 2003 SARS epidemic, China was accused of hiding critical information and exacerbating the spread of the virus.
This special episode of Because China dives deep into why China keeps making the same mistake over and over again in addressing public health crises.

    Saving face by warning the whole world : careful! Virus on the way! The government treat this virus as a big deal as if you will die immediately in a sad way. Almost all media in China has reported images and events in this video, but there’s more. But unluckily, you won’t see those in this channel. Like for example, we report 100 events about certain thing in China, when I watch KZread , and search the keywords, you only see 10 of them😂 what a pity🤣 seeing the partial story. A good liar is 90% telling the truth and 10% lies which he’s aiming for.

    If anything good can come from his death I think the fact thay he showed the document he was forced to sign is going to have a lasting impact on Chinas Government and people because he brought out the shame of their actions against him when he was trying to help Doctors take precautions to keep from becoming infected. It is a great shame on China for what they have done to him and the other doctors and the reporters who tried to warn the people. They dishonored their own Country and sadly all these people who are getting sick and dying could have been saved if they had acted on the doctors warnings instead of trying to silence them. It's a true tragedy 😥

BTW I grew up in a dictatorship and trust me you don't want to live in one. Funnily America as it is right now is not a 'truly' democratic nation. On paper it is but in reality it is not. A 'truly' democratic nation gives power to the people. In America the power lies with the rich and powerful. The majority are fooled into thinking that they decide but in reality they don't. The other thing is that ordinary people are encouraged to keep hating and fighting because that makes it easier for the rich and powerful to maintain control. Its working really well. This is why we have Trump. They created the environment for a man like Trump to take power because it makes it easier for them to maintain control and also to keep looting the country.

    That's the nature of societies ruled by authoritarian governments in general. People know the right thing to do, but they live in a fear based culture in which standing out in any way is dangerous. So they learn that sounding the alarm can draw attention and possibly lead to very bad consequences. It's not a Chinese thing. It's what happens in any country with an authoritarian government.

    It's pretty much the way Chinese governments have run things since the first emperor. Since China is supposed to be the world's only perfect place and the government always the perfect government, then nothing can ever go wrong. Add a good dose of Marxism to the mix, and you get senior leaders with the mindset that anything that even hints of anything going wrong in any way, information has to be shut down, cut off, cut up, and then burned into ashes but only after finding a handful of people to blame for spreading Fake News, giving them a show trial, and then hanging them from the nearest tree. Never admit anything is wrong. Persecute people who might even think that something is wrong. It's perfect!

    America's health care system is also broken, has been for most people's lifetimes, dysfunctional for a very large percent of the populations, mainly the poor and middle class. If someone tries to get medical care, for any type of emergency, the first thing all hospital admission personnel want to know, before even knowing what your sickness is, is whether you have health insurance or not. Those who don't have health insurance are basically told to go away. Those who have substandard, cheap or bad health insurance are given substandard, cheap or bad care, if any care at all. Millions of homeless people every day are pushed aside and shunned and allowed to spread their illnesses. A coronavirus outbreak in America would probably be worse than China.

    Even doctors want to treat and help the patients, but they literally cannot as the chinese government hasn't given them enough medical supplies and test kits, medical information, and on top of that they locked down the province. People were literally starving. People who have other illness such as cancer and kidney disorder, all of them put on the back burner as more people were getting infected. And putting cancer patients at a higher risk of getting infected themselves.

On the other hand, these govts are trying so hard to impress the Politburo in a such way by overriding regulations and norms they themselves have created. Standard procedures and accountability are hard things to achieve there. Thats how CCP governs China and u can see why Taiwan n HK dont want to be under their administration.
