They SHOULD apologize for silencing health officials for over a month and downplaying the numbers. Of course other viruses have been created and they haven’t apologized but in this day and age with media and exposure, China got caught red handed making a problem worse than it had to be. Their weak and oppressive leadership is showing. Yes, the Chinese people need to hold their government accountable for their irresponsible hiding of the disease. However, you know Fox news, they mix in a modicum of truth with ten parts of propaganda and fake news, expounding their anti-China extremist views. One of their guests on the show called China “uncivilized”, which I’m hella sure a bunch of American conservatives agree with. They do not have anyone’s health in their interests, only to further their political goals by preying on crises like this. Asian people are being openly and violently discriminated against, and ironically by other minorities as well, including black people. This has caused a lot of embittered infighting between minorities- if you follow Asian American media like Mashable and Nextshark, where some encourage fighting back with violence. This is why the focus right now should be to try and control the disease while keeping people informed of the truth. Viruses only do half the damage. It’s people’s hysteria, greed and prejudice that’s furthering the harm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before. Eating exotic meat not only happen in China. Nobody can confirm Covid-19 is caused by eating bats, only speculation. And H1N1 causing by pig, doesn't make people stop eating pork, does it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphaz 7,969 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 When I scrolled through Facebook. I found 3 news report about 3 different attacks on Asians who are NOT Chinese nasionality in 3 different countries. That's unfortunate for them. Pointing fingers at this time, doesn't really help. Creating news saying China should apologies doen't help either. It will only cause more hatred towards Chinese race for some people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People around the world need to know that yellow skin, chinese-speaking people are not all Chinese. a lot of my taiwanese, singaporean, malaysian friend faced the same problem. so, I really wish people would have asked whether they are chinese or not before they judge. and one more advise Don't ever trust China.

I'm sure poor people eat unusual species the whole world over, the difference is that in China, these people are not extremely poor and eating snakes and frogs and bats and mice for survival, they eat them out of a kind of cultural tradition influenced by local beliefs and especially Chinese Traditional Medicine. If you read the news reports you can see many diseases originating in southern China from pangolins, bats, civet cats, birds etc. These diseases would not be emerging if Chinese people didnt bring and keep these animals in markets and sell them as food. These diseases are not just leaping out of the forests and infecting people, people are puting themselves in danger by keeping and trading these species in unhygienic environments. At a certain point you need to realize that while its not politically correct, Chinese cultural practices and their customary dislike for following hygienic rules, and laws against the sale/trade of endangered/infectious species is what constantly causes new viruses to emerge from southern China, its not a coincidence.
