On pop’s birthday no less.

But they didn’t know it was pop’s birthday :)

China and Free Speech.

Never more than a nodding acquaintance.

They do know of each other.

Right there is one thing that is paralyzing a proper response to this virus. No government official wants to be labeled a racist. So instead of banning all flights from Asian countries, flyers are simply screened upon arrival.

Seeing that the incubation period for the virus is 14 days (or more), that screening is essentially worthless.

"Sick man of Europe" is a label given to a European country experiencing a time of economic difficulty or impoverishment. The term was first used in the mid-19th century to describe the Ottoman Empire.

Sick man of _____________ is OK when it's talking about white people.

Xi Jinping is making a big deal about this not just for propaganda purposes. He’s also wary of domestic opponents, in and out of the Party, taking this as a portent of regime vulnerability, and making their individual moves.

Individual revolts generally don’t have a huge chance of success. But China’s history isn’t of individual revolts. It’s of one large-scale failed revolt after another, each hammering away at the resources and loyalties of the regime’s supporters, while offering opportunities for advancement at the expense of the regime. Until the regime runs out of resources and loyal supporters, at which point it is toppled and its adherents and their kin are wiped out in a bloodbath.

The potential for a new cycle of revolts followed by regime collapse is why Xi Jinping worries about this disease, the way he worries about every aspect of Chinese society that might threaten his rule. The fact that it is now acknowledged as a very big deal means that potential Chinese rivals are now measuring him for a rope. Big crises have traditionally been the equivalent of a dinner bell or the report of a starter’s gun for ambitious Chinese power contenders because they signal regime vulnerability. Xi is entering a period of potential regime collapse, and he knows it.

The Flying Tigers attacked the wrong targets.

How many in China’s “government” are Mao’s direct descendents!

The first of my four visits to China was in 1981. The most recent was in 2017.Focusing on a city I visited all four times (Guangzhou,formerly known as "Canton") it changed substantially...actually enormously...in those 36 years.In 2017 the center of the city featured traffic jams (Toyotas,Kias and Buicks) and the streets were lined with glass and steel skyscrapers.In 1981 the traffic jams consisted of 750,000 bicycles and a few broken down buses and the streets were lines with Soviet style buildings reminiscent of the 1940s.

But in 2017,like in 1981,if you travel 5 miles outside of the city center you're back in the 1700s. And in 2017 the air was far dirtier than anything I've ever seen in NYC,the LA Basin or the Ruhr Valley.

As far as I could see the majority...probably the large majority...of China's people still live like savages.

I don't honestly know why China is so prone to these outbreaks.

They are. That's reality.

Pretty hard to look at the stats so far and not have thoughts along these
lines.

I think we can all agree that it's terrible the Chinese people are
having to deal with this level of death and destruction.

That's not really a slam on anyone.

Maybe it's time to start spending more waking hours trying to prevent this
in the future, than on new military equipment since no one is looking to
invade.

Maybe you shouldn't be thinking of poking other nations with a sharp stick.

Take care of your people, and leave others alone.

They are communists. There are no greater liars on Earth. They use the word “racism” knowing full well the article isn’t racist.

Having been to Asia I can state that China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam , etc are probably the most racist nations on Earth.
