Traffic jams are returning to cities in China, and shopping centres, bars and nightclubs are reopening after weeks of lockdown as the government declared victory over coronavirus. Normal social and economic order “must be fully and urgently restored”, decreed president Xi Jinping.

A concerted wave of articles, social media posts and public announcements have appeared in a wide variety of languages to laud Beijing’s achievement. “China’s signature strength, efficiency and speed in this fight has been widely acclaimed”, declared foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian. “A new standard has been set for the global efforts against the epidemic.”

As China tries to shake off its image of infector to the world, it is keen to show how much of a benefactor it has become to other nations.
Doctors and equipment, including masks, have been sent to Italy. Masks and gloves have been sent France, Poland, Netherlands and Serbia by Beijing.
There have been a few missteps. Around 340,000 testing kits bought by Spain from China are not working properly. “The rapid tests, manufactured by the Chinese company Bioeasy, have a sensitivity of 30 per cent, when it should be higher than 80 per cent”, health officials told the newspaper.

Defeated? I think the jury is still out on ‘defeated.’
Probly just my paranoia but part of me believes china hocked a hairy highly infectious loogy on the world as an experiment to see what would happen...as in crashing national and maybe even the world economy....but like I said, I’m just paranoid.
China defeated nothing. They are not transparent and just when the world can data model from the occurrences in the country that introduced, concealed and facilitated the transmission of the pandemic if we had real numbers as to its transmission there so we can deal with it here, they refuse to be truthful about the numbers and misdirect us to create more havoc and destruction worldwide. They need to pay an economic price after this is over and the rest of the globe should let them return to being an agrarian society.
The Dutch government has ordered a recall of around 600,000 masks out of a shipment of 1.3 million from China after they failed to meet quality standards. The defective masks had already been distributed to several hospitals currently battling the COVID-19 outbreak,
