West’s incompetent response to pandemic will hasten the power-shift to the east

Mainland China lost a five thousand people and got less than 90 thousand infected without warning. Germany still receives praise for a "competent" response with so far the same number of dead and they're so far at more than 140 thousand infected. And that's one of the most praised responses in the West!

China responded badly and recovered. West is still in an arrogant denial.

So, you are confident that the numbers published by the Chinese government are accurate?

FYI China's numbers were fixed a few days ago, they were off but not by that much from the new total.

China's numbers were fixed in an incredibly suspicious way - their Wuhan death toll increased by exactly 50%. I don't think it's reasonable to believe the new numbers any more than the old ones.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. I'm always amazed how careless people deal with statistics, particularly if these very statistics have poltical value to someone. While there are certainly naive people out there, most of the times it just seems like intentional misunderstanding to push a certain narrative.
