The Chinese culture is a “Face” culture. You don’t admit anything is wrong until you have to.
For Xi to go in public and say this, means it is logarithmicly worse.
As in I suspect deaths and infections are a log mean or two higher than being stated. You don’t quarantine 56 million people over a few thousand infected.
Guys, we are in something very concerning. No one did this for the Ebola or marburg out breaks. No one did this over SARS.
For a Face culture to openly state this is like the pilot saying “Smoke em if you got em, see you on the ground!” during a flight.
True statement of the day.
“Guys, we are in something very concerning. No one did this for the Ebola or marburg out breaks. No one did this over SARS.”
