Commentary: As the US plays the blame game, China steps up its global leadership

Despite their early missteps, it did not take long for China’s leaders to recognise their initial mistake and take decisive action. The government sealed off affected areas, locked down a huge swath of the population, built designated COVID-19 hospitals, and ramped up production of necessary equipment, including test kits, masks and ventilators.

The lockdowns may have been draconian, but China’s strategy seems to have worked. Within a few weeks, new infections began to decline, and new local infections have reportedly stopped. Steps are now being taken to ease the lockdown. Moreover, apparently fearing for his re-election prospects amid economic crisis, Trump announced his intention to “reopen” the US economySimply put, he has prioritised politics over public health – precisely what he criticised Chinese officials for doing when COVID-19 emerged. The World Health Organization’s recent warning that the US could become the new epicentre of the pandemic seems to have been borne out: The country now has the world’s highest number of cases.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This is hilarious

These days people are not dumb. People know who the real clown is.

China is not a leader globally, not until it can rid itself of corruption, human rights violations, cruelty to animals..to name a few. Tackle these 3 first then we can go down the list

Basically. China is smart; they see an opportunity at this time now that US decides to remove themselves from the global stage to be more introspective. America first.

US Navy used to stop over at Chinese ports like HK etc before things gotten worse at the P-level. Think about that. Things that you folks don’t know doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Similarly to think that China is the only country to “blame” is naive and childish.

US Army was never in China. EVER. China thinks we're stupid enough to believe that? They will never allow US military on their soil. This is straight up Chinese propaganda! Screw them

“Global leaders” don’t export defective goods in a pandemic

China foreign ministry said virus originated from US army whom visited China! Stop publishing nonsense news.

Stop publishing garbage. First 2 paragraphs and it’s already a waste of my 2 seconds.
