about vacuums being filled. The West may lose ground that China prefers not to fill. As Mao understood, an enemy’s retreat is a test as well as an opportunity.
True global leadership may require China to ditch its love of ambiguity and cynical opportunism, and spell out what it really believes and wants. If that is the test, the hard men who run China may prefer to skip it.
Did CCP provide false information to the world at initial stage by ita covering up the severity of the virus? - Yes Does international government believing China false information caused the pandemic? - Yes So the world must hold China accountable for its lies
China spread this virus on purpose and now many ppl died becoz of this, of coz they think it’s successful. ChinaMustPay ChinaIsAsshoe
China will fuck America soon . 😁🌶
Stop finding excuses for the incompetent of your country. America also started to take actions after two months since the firt case is anouned on Jan. 20 , even though China anounced this is a pandemic and they locked down a city on 25 Jan.
Isn’t the number in China scary enough? How many deaths could be enough to weaken you up? The lockdown of Hubei started on January 23rd and in one week almost the entire nation went on shelter in place. What was covered up?
How can China cover up from the great powerful US and its western allies? They can sniff any fart from the Chinese thousands kilometres away.
America's initial cover-up will forever ‘political right judgments’ of what China did
funny mud pee.
I was just saying this to myself last night. It is hard to believe anything they say now. Why did they have to hide it in the first place? Scared? They did admit that they were wrong and they apologized for jailing the doctor. But I do feel that part is unforgivable.
if you like, you could call it a herd immunity as an expert of UK said and UK gov does right now.
There will be growing evidence that the virus was made in the United States. Who can tell me how the virus on American aircraft carriers is infected?
95% of lives could’ve been saved if China was being honest
Anything helpful? Anything useful?
US NEVER COVER-UP! U! S! A!
It was China responsibility to let the world know about the virus from the off.They need to compensate the world. Big time.
wake up, the US government 's reaction to the virus is one of the latest in the world, and your president called it just a flu when other countries were fighting with it
China locked down 60 million people to stop virus outbreak， and one month later Trump still called it 'just a flu'
chiNA should be in quarantine and forever isloated from our lovely planet
Their propaganda is too blatant for American tastes
Now you know how pathetic and desperate western media is. Lol!
Wumao and Chinese bots all come out to defend their beloved govt which covered up once they knew about the virus.
More China bashing nonsense

It needs time to identify a new thing. everybody should listen to scientists, not politicians. If it happens in your country, can your government do better than China? please note that you're dealing with the known thing
China is now selling face masks etc with 10x price!!! They caused the virus and are now banking with it. Goes against my moral beliefs, China should do they part and give masks etc for free!!
cover-up?😊
Pay attention to the time, June 30 last year.
China must take full responsibility on this WuhanVirus ChinaIsAsshoe

WHO has become puppet of CCP. CCPVirus ChinaLiedPeopleDied
I think people in the West will reject lour relationships with China. We will not buy Chinese goods. We will urge our companies to withdraw from business with them. I think the voting public will demand if it’s politicians done punitive policies towards China
wow see the ccp's propaganda army in this post🤣 It means that says the truth😏 coronavirus China WuhanVirus
China Lied. People Died. That's what happening now.
Isn’t this where American leadership is supposed to come into play? Isn’t managerial failure attendant to authoritarian leadership in China and the US the cause? Wasn’t Trump informed early enough to have forced a shutdown of Hubei province with a no fly order early in January?
China must be held accountable to global pandemic. ChineseVirus
China will hide the truth continue, then tell you the lie that CCPVirus stand up ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied Never believe CCPChina
Blaming China everyday could help people accept herd immunity. it is all China's fault that made us did nothing in past 2 months.
The 2022 Winter Olympics will tell the tale. Anger will drive most to stay away?
Forever.
Actually there is nothing would be changed,1 month later or earlier.For those didn't take action in tow months it would be an extra month to be wasted.And I believe even then they still can find other excuses to blame China.
So Trump's response and generally the reaction of those who elected and kept him k power is not that IMPORTANT. what's with Rome always blaming the Parthians of starting trouble. Americans deserve what's coming becoz they stop using their intellect, & now use gut feelings.
The virus won't go away by winning a political game. Actually the US had received the information 2 and half months ago. it was enough to prepare for the virus properly. Unfortunately St Trump failed to do so
Trump's cover-up is obviously much bigger than China's. He keeps saying it's fake news
Glad you corrected that
I wonder if that will work out like Wilbur Ross saying the virus will help the US economy?
Hahaha it’s a joke
China locked down Wuhan, a city with population of 11.08 million, on January 23rd. If you couldn't see the imminent danger, there is nothing to blame except your stupidity, arrogance, and prejudice.
We were given plenty of warnings and did not react. We had the 1st patient land at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Jan 15. Our leader blew off the seriousness of the infection. Jan 24 senators with key infection information sells stocks. Today we have 4,062 Americans dead
Will Westerners die without color (revolution)? I don't think so. When saying color, it's colorful with all colors. Those suffering from the phobia of 'Red China' should have gone to the grave with the cold war end.
China thru the authoritarian corrupt communist party organisations incompetently or even worse deliberately prevented early containment in Wu han & delayed global notification until it was too late. That is what is truly important.
SMH 👎, just look at how Taiwan reacted in early January when they merely sensed a little bit of smoke You disgusting liberal media cover up.
your reporting lied for decades but only make the china chinese stronger and stronger! Is not a April Fool jokes? Is that a reality sign of americans arrogant stupidity 🤣
You have just got a lot of those propagandists talking nonsense here
Us virus, area 51 virus center, attempted release in China in 2019. Bad American. American companies that make viruses, American secrets
And now you covering up the western governments imcompetence and retardness.
The whole world knows the bad things the americans did, the americans killed the native americans, the americans invaded Iraq, the americans bullied the Korean peninsula. Cancer of the world! 我们战场上见！
Its the global warming stupid. And Brazil should stop burning and cutting in Amazon forest. If earth warms more, then new viruses will be released
Fail memory. There were like 5 months to prepared before the virus spreaded outside of China.
Canada can finally relax now:
Boosting China's standing compared to illegitimate America isn't setting the bar very high 🤣
I don't think China covered up this time. It just needs time to figure out. When you face something unknown, making some bold judgment is dangerous, like Dr. Li Wenliang said it's SARS which is definitely irresponsible. And watch what US did, don't be double standarded.
CCP propagandists are best in fooling themselves. Yes, China will be judged differently from now on, because the world finally saw through its lies and trickeries.
so coward to just blame China but not look at how US/Trump did
This is China's Chernobyl, their cover up will cost the world hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide. we would not be in this situation if they were transparent about the desease in the first place.
We never forget the person who struck a match that burnt down a forest and town.
Great headline! Blaming China is obviously the easiest way to shift fault, but certainly not smartest way to shift responsibility. Keep doing it as long as it makes your average readers feel good about their democratically incompetent govs.
This picture might be a forecast of China becoming a Global Power overtaking from America.
Inthink most countries & people believe that China should shrivel into a shell for a while!
Maybe Trump shouldn't have cut the CDC staff in China and thus we wouldn't have been reliant on China to tell us what is happening, we would have had people on the ground.
Hey, The Economist... how's your herd immunity? You have your immunity yet? 😂😂😂
For a long time, every one will be shit scared of China but one likely event is going to be US will never forgive and forget China for this
America would never cover up anything.
Blame China per day, keeps the virus away.
like trump said great again, again and again
Alternate headline. Continuing coverup
This magazine is helping cover the inability of UK government!!!
? Nonsense
Beginning to think you backed the wrong horse?
Like the Trump did better. The Economist criticize the cruelty of the lockdown in Wuhan. How about the lockdown around the world then?
Click bait. There is nothing explaining the cover up in the article :(
Cause we had gone through lockdown for two months, stay at home and couldn’t work, couldn’t go to school. But your guys wasted this two months for doing nothing and didn’t care anything
When wuhan was closed on Jan. 23, there was only one patient in the United States.China has locked down a city of 10 million people. Can't the americans take it seriously?
You disgraceful maniac. Talk about how to go through this pandemic first, then politics. Politics is by no means a priority at this crucial time.
How much China Paid to you? did you receive $1 million?
Blame china communist party, it is stupid and evil ccp’s barbaric dictatorship which destroyed chinese excellence, fame and reputation...it’s the stupid evil ccp’s barbaric dictatorship that destroyed 5000 years chinese culture!
china communist party(NOT CHINESE PEOPLE)hid and lied about coronavirus of its serious consequences...evil china communist party must take the fully responsibility of the total loss in those affected countries, china communist party must be punished immediately!
China has informed the world to take this virus seriously.But only few countries responded and took measures.China tried his best to help its “rivals”.
Well, America was happy to see covid-19 spread in China, and now you need sympathy?
fake news produced by media like you are weakening the global fight with the virus. it is your bigotry and prejudice that are fatally contagious. stop blaming China.
If this is true, why is China paying a huge price to stop the virus from spreading?
What a sensational, bigoted comment. Many working in the export business are losing their orders due to the economic repercussions of covid overseas. Why would they be happy?! As a Chinese person I've been concerned for my American friends throughout. I feel misrepresented. Eww!!
Yeah let's politicize a virus and use it to further nation-state agendas. Thanks for that, Economist, and China (presumably).
and you are happy to see people believing your shit talking
pee. I use vpn to access tweet,which makes me disappointed is that I can not imagine the news or people outside China are so naive and shortsighted. How can u speak like this as a major journal?China did no democracy,that is true,but the people in China are not stupid. Shortsight
Who is China?
Say what you may, but this is a biological terrorissim plot by China on the world. ChineseVirus
I am Chinese. My friends and I have donated medical supplies to the United States. Humanitarianism knows no borders.
Remember how happy Queen Victoria and British citizens were when they sent smallpox infected blankets to China, on purpose. History does repeat itself, but sometimes with an added Karmic twist. nytimes latimes dbcurren pdacosta CultrHack washingtonpost
？？？？？？
The Economist seems happier than anyone about pandemic ruining human being. And it Lacks of basic human decency to even come up something like this piece of s**t.
you lie
Exactly the reason for quarantining China permanently after the CCP19 pandemic is controlled globally.
America totally can do what China have done,but two months have gone. What a shame!
傻逼博主
Seriously The Economist, do you have any bottom line!?
So sick of this. No wonder US has such a incompetent president. Take care of your people first, report how to fight COVID, not just accusing China out of air!
WeAreNotFood stop the DogMeatTrade in Communist China 🇨🇳 shishnfips
Why do you always write an article that everyone already knows ,and it’s also superficial ,for my opinion,should be every country not only rivals,how to be a leader of world? A leader of friendship and league,everyone is weaker than you
This is irresponsible opinion. When China was fighting against COVIDー19 , is the United States happy to see?
The USA has lost its blueprint of aggression to fight obstacles . China has been pardoned by the USA that was the first sign of depleting courage of USA.
Hopefully it will take down the Rothschilds. I hear they have 500 trillion in gold in their basement vaults.
HuPing1 小人之心
I have a conspiracy theory about this. Since Trump implemented crushing tariffs, this is China's retaliation. As a bonus, it's culling the elderly population so governments can free up hospital beds and not pay pension liabilities.
CCP is going to have its offshore assets frozen.
Don’t be so biased ok? China is sparing no effort to save lives around the world including US, sharing experience, donations and sending doctors. Chinese people are distributing masks in many countries while suffering racism attack. Should China stand by?
China is just getting better yet westerns are being so judging for everything China has done. So this is the Democracy really looks like. Got it.
How did you get this conclusion? What does China mean here? Chinese Government? Chinese People? The title is so disappointing that it just adds hurts to people who are being hurt by the virus.
雪崩来临没有一片雪花是无辜的
One of the major driver of the economy in China is exportation. Now we are lossing contracts and you say we are happy? I thought you are a professional economy magazine, not some tabloid!
So are the Democrats
after it's their virus...chinese virus... It weakens potential rivals like america ,European union
After this is over. China will be in for a world of hurt.
Pride and Prejudice
You are showing your New low!
No, as a Chinese I'm not happy seeing tens of thousands of people suffer and even die for the virus. My family live in Wuhan, I lived in New York, I don't know anyone in my network or see any gov official make such a claim. You are attacking China in a disgraceful way.
You're really disgusting by spreading these rumors to ignite the anger to China. How much did you get by selling youself? As a 'economist', hope you got a good price. Keep rotting, let's see who will laugh at the end. 👎
Is China happy? I don't think so
We know are large China hawks
Stupidity weakens mankind...no matter whether you’re an American or a Chinese.
Clickbait is so disgusting
I don't believe it. We're talking about deaths!!!!
I thought Economist was a pro-communism publication.
NextLevelWisdom We are happy to see your incompetent president.
Video1: How you may die because CCP is NOT helping! Dr. Djaballah speaks about COVID19 - Masks Are Life 1 Video2: Everyone should see this - Covid19 Q&A with Professor Kim Woo-joo - Masks Are Life 2
R u out of ur mind? Is it ok for other media to broadcast but vicious when the news on Chinese media? So biased
But now the world has been shutting off to mainlanders (trying to buy/囤货 basic toiletries and baby powder), since their own country doesn't give a care. 爱国 或者 哀国 ？
Trump deserves it.
You stupid and selfish! Nobody can benefit from the Coronavirus! Lots of factories closedown in China because of the suspended outlet orders. who helps Italy? It’s not UK,not France, not German, not USA, it’s CHINA! China is providing helps to other countries as well! So shut up!
There is a secret deal between USA & China that's a reason Trump is silent on ChineseVirus nowadays .. Shame Shame .. for capitalist's business is always a priority.
Why would they harm their best and most loyal customer? CCP is all in for stability so the elite can forever be enshrined in power
..many Americans are escaping to China now to avoid the virus. China has to assure no new comfired cases are bought in again. China has be weaken too. I dont think China is happy.
Happy your mon happy
that's what it's plan? very well executed so far? 😒
Wow! What an awful thing to say...
The Chinese Communist Party is lying to America and the entire world. Their duplicity knows no bounds. They won’t even give Americans an apology. That’s YOU!
Such inciting hate title and content. You are now a completely low level now Economist, even as low as trump
You just want to criticise China!
China caused this pandemia, and they should be held responsible.
The only ones to profit will be China. Selling everything related to this mess they created.
how could this shit would make someone happy!! if the US has been slighted down even for a little u think china will rise a shit!! poor u
China will be blamed no matter what it does, not because it's right or wrong, just because it's 'China', the 'evil dragon' discribed by your 'decent' media !
The only one I see happy are CNN and The Economist🤔
Seems like their plan all along sadly
HuPing1 Evil china communist party (NOT CHINESE PEOPLE) must kneel down, apologize for all the serious consequences which could have been stopped in the beginning within china. This evil party must be punished for a better life of all chinese people as well as the rest of the world!
HuPing1 china communist party(NOT CHINESE PEOPLE)hid and lied about coronavirus of its serious consequences...evil china communist party must take the fully responsibility of the total loss in those affected countries, china communist party must be punished immediately!
Remember we gave you two months to get prepared, but your president still giving poor shit liked policies to your people for this pandemic.
As if theirs isn’t struggling as it is. Many countries will not want to see them after everything that’s been revealed about who they truly are. Besides the fact that the pandemic is far from over on their shores. They’re hiding drastic figures, but it won’t be hidden for long.
Communists are always happy to see other surfers.
HuPing1 就是在造谣生事，谁告诉你中国高兴了？别血口喷人，病毒是全球性的！要全球人共同努力抗击它！
This is incredibly stupid. China was damaged far more by the outbreak than it is admitting. You don't benefit compared to rivals if thousands of your people died.
. 3 months ago the Trump admin. watched gleefully as China licked its wounds and admitted failure in response to the coronavirus. Now roles have reversed; China gloats as the US has bungled its response. Victories can be short-lived. Better to offer an olive branch than vinegar.
shame of you, the Economist. who told you China is happy about it? and China suffers a lot for this pandemic too. why you are so disgusting to describe one country with 1.4 Billion people like this ? as one media, independence is the key. Lost trust in you.
America is a continent not a F***ING COUNTRY.
no I think they're trying to stop the pandemic from hurting their own people and challenging their own government's legitimacy. their quick response has helped though, it was the US that made an unforced error and fell flat on it's face.
Actually I'm already tired of this kind of news from you g
And the traitor Democrats will be cheering right beside China.
No one is a winner during this time.
Now criticism of America is propaganda holy shit
Everyone is happy, let´s say round about 80% of the world population, US terrorists are hit by convid-19. A broken USA makes the world safer :)
Seriously !
Seriously? Who is happy to see medical workers are dying in America? China? From which aspect? Who present China 🇨🇳?!
The Chinese Communist Party is lying to America and the entire world. Their duplicity is knows no bounds. They won’t even give Americans an apology. That’s YOU!
Except the international community is well aware that China, and more specifically the CCP, bungled the initial response; which allowed COVID19 to globalise. They may not face it now, but they'll be obliged to when attentions aren't so otherwise preoccupied
Conspiracy theory crap piece of report...
Clearly, WHO, Tadros Adhanom & Abiy Ahmed are devices of China's Global Strategic Ambition!
not able to prevent and control the epidemic, and anxious to see that China was able to help other countries. Please face up to your problem
Lol stop covering up the states' germaphobia
Oh please ... when China was going through it, people were so judgemental, making fun, memes galore. Governments were not much different.
China need to wake up.
Trump's weakened America. Not covid-19
😱
China is a devil. Countries should unite and stop importing their stuff. The bad part is poor countries especially in Africa are the hardest hit. It's a clear planned thing. Beijing and Shanghai were hardly affected being there economic hubs.
Surely its not a coincidence that wuhan is now covid free and Beijing and Shanghai is not affected at all.. PlanCoronavirus
surely Japan also celebrated after Pearl Harbor, things will end the same way
That's why they released it!
doubtful that the Chinese govt is anywhere near as shortsighted Trump to believe that covid-19 isn't going to severely hurt their export-driven economy.
Some object that western countries have the nerve to talk about peace while selling lethal weapons of mass destruction.
Please, read this paper (2007!)
The economist take ad money from China.
Outsourcing too much to any one country has proven to be a major mistake during the CoronaVirus pandemic. Hopefully the U.S. will correct its mistake after the pandemic passes.
China will be remembered for it's unregulated diseased full Wet Markets selling bat, snakes, dogs, bears & any other poor creatures that they can lay their hands on & eat These poorly ill treated beast are full of diseases that spawned Sars & Coronavirus pandemic across the World
This is ridiculous... I mean, they have audacity to ask for praises... BC Pakistan ke sath reh ke Pakistan jese hi gae he...
What is new.....i see all “partie chiefs” all over the world doing the same.......as usual......
真是自我感觉良好，谁在乎？
after this ordeal is over, China will be sanctioned. it took way to long to contained the virus. and actually doctors who where sounding the alarm were detained. wtf
how about the western liberalism value propaganda? the Economist is the most left-wing medium that I have ever seen. Why not you editor focus on neutral economic study and research? You should change your magazine title to The Politics.
Wishful thinking. The era of hearing is over. It’s about seeing
Not as individuals, but as a nation, as a regime, they are pariahs now. Completely untrustworthy and entirely unscrupulous. And anyone associated with those exotic animal markets is far more of a beast than their poor, miserable victims. Unconscionable.
omg shame on you. None of them seek for your “thank you”, just admit that America is horrible at risk management, though American have almost 2 months after wuhan lockdown. 2 MONTHS!
Some object that Dem and Republican chiefs have a nerve to battle when ppl’s lives are in danger and to condemn foreign countries more severely to distort public discontent
Solving a problem that you created or exacerbated seems very on brand for leaders in both countries.
If they hadn't tried to cover it up In the first place and locked down sooner. No one would have left China to spread it across the globe. Yes they did their best once the world watched so pretty happy about that. But not something to gloat about
你个沙雕媒体
Trump wasn't doing a good job at all, yet he had already use this crisis to praise how good he is (10/10). Since when? Hmm, since there r only 15 cases in US. Besides, too early to claim and victory over covid19. Pls focus on how to contain the virus.
hey ima cancel my issues. the economist is now a CCP PTSD more than a logical publisher.
Do not buy made on China!
If condemning china and pouring dirty water to china helps save lives, keep doing it. Unfortunately, the fact is USA has the most infected cases and for sure the biggest potential in the world. Combine this to what trump admonistration has been done. Just a coincidence?
Upon fighting Covid-19, the fact shows China had done much better than the US which is getting worse...
This is a biological war!!!
...maybe if we were all stupid enough to trust the communist government further than we can throw them.
China not only lied and covered up the extent of their own infection/death numbers, they also shipped out tests and other medical equipment that don't even work. The communist regime in China needs to be eliminated.
Chinese regime shipping medical aids and what the fxxk US regime shipping?
Seeking praise? Nope, CCP never do this. Maybe Trump?
For communist leaders, every crisis is a chance to accumulate political capital. Every event is a zero-sum contest for power. It doesn't matter if people are dying.
You mean like Trump has insisted otherwise he'll withhold aid to states? You don't think that's the bigger story?
Millions of Wuhan Chinese flee to many countries in the world before/after Wuhan was locked down. That could be one of de facto factors caused the worldwide pandemic. Should we thank for that? Hilarious 🖕
The communist party are 100% responsible for the global meltdown due to the virus. The grave of every victim should be stamped “Made in China” and the Virus referred to as the Chinese Communist Party virus.
So, they see a fire burning and ignore it, muzzle the ones raising alarm and then, once the fire has grown big enough to burn down the neighborhood they throw buckets of water on it and congratulate themselves!
Not sure about the CCP, but I am sure that's what America is doing. Every single press briefing, Trump gets applauded and praised by this puppies, who are high-rank government US officials. Since some governors are not 'appreciative', so he decided not to send equipment.
Well realDonaldTrump likes tyrants, so he should have nothing to complain about
The audacity of a country to create & spread a virus, then praise itself for its ‘response’!
meanwhile Trump is doing a great job. eh?
