Xi Jinping knew about virus weeks before sounding alarm

The Chinese leader issued orders on fighting the coronavirus on January 7, during a meeting of the country’s Politburo Standing Committee, almost two weeks before his first public comments on the deadly disease.

“I issued demands during a Politburo Standing Committee meeting on January 7 for work to contain the outbreak. On January 20, I gave special instructions about the work to prevent and control the outbreak and I have said we have to pay high attention to it,” Mr Xi said.He also revealed he had personally ordered the lockdown of the virus epicentre.

Of the total coronavirus faces, 68,500 are in mainland China, with 338 in Japan, 72 in Singapore and 15 in Australia. One of them was Doctor Li Wenliang, who sounded the alarm on the virus and later died after he contracted it. As a result of this, local Chinese authorities worry about attracting the ire of Beijing, and so their instinct is to cover up anything negative in the hopes Mr Xi and his inner circle won’t hear about it.

Where is the link of the speech?

Cover up with the help of the WHO?

Dirty animals

The chinese people are going around spitting and spreading their germs on everything. What the hell..and they want to come over to Australia. No way! They are desperate to get away from their government who they blame for starting this. coronavirus

Could it be said that the lack of early informing the public of the dangers has resulted in more global deaths than it otherwise would have been?

cant retweet waffle.. Can you get your reporters to report and not produce large sections of prose that only they admire?

It's China. They don't care about world opinion... And of course we can't say anything for fear of racism claims. Then there's the trade thing...

Thanks to this power and commie bastard, and China's culture of suppression, intolerance and always trying to save face... now they have plunged the world into a biological crisis. Their people suffer and the boss just kills off those who challenge him. Noone will do anything.

According to ABC: SYSTEMATIC RACISM AND MYSOGANY

Why am I not in the least bit surprised, and why do I not believe the figures they are issuing out of China represent the true picture. 😡😡😡😡
