The Communist Party enjoys the luxury of dissent being a punishable offense. The media, the citizenry, the private sector are all held hostage by the absolute authority of the Party.

I'm not sure why, but the media seems so eager to accept the official CCP narrative and take the lack of clear dissent from within China to mean China should be held up as a model Nation worthy of praise while simultaneously ignoring all the restrictions and brutality that force silent those who otherwise might have much to complain about.

Deference to China by naive journalists and other useful idiots must be checked.

There's CCP spread suggestions that coronavirus originated in the US (and was brought to China by the US army?). I don't think we're accepting all of CCP's narrative, because some of the ideas are quite obviously batshit crazy.

I don't many outside of China accepting everything the CCP is saying about coronavirus.

I do think it's probably worth waiting to evaluate until we have more real, verifiable numbers. Some of what people are saying is likely true. Some of it is likely not.
