I think the fact that the Chinese declined the American CDC help and the WHO assisted them in down scaling the situation both contributed greatly to the "reality" of the situation. The WHO receives quite a finiancial contribution from the Chinese so, as always, felt they had to stay on the right side of the Chinese leadership, before making any criticism or even suggesting the cirus was out of control.
It is certainly a balance between giving out the truth and having to deal with panic and hysteria as a result of finding out that truth ...the two have indeed to be very managed
As you are so convinced it was a deliberate act and you feel so strongly that they are a race of villains you obviously wouldn’t ever let your personal wealth take precedence over your principles by buying goods from there that would be more expensive otherwise.
I absolutely deplore the animal and human rights abuses that are apparent but you can’t damn everyone of them.
The problem is that the Chinese leaders are not interested in what we think, just as long as they can keep control of there country. They are not interested in the poor of there country, where this is alleged to have started, they are not interested in educating those people, because they may start wondering, “why”. They are land grabbing in the South China Sea, turning it into a military base. Perhaps the only way to initiate change is to try and help the poor of China to be enlightened. The problem is how to do it, we should not blame the people, but the leaders who do not want its people to have the opportunity to influence there future. Question, How ???
Thank you Toff,
I read an article about the "Chinese virus" in yesterday's Daily Telegraph. There is by now scientific evidence that the CV19 epidemic originated in Wuhan province - probably in the manner that you have eloquently described. Despite this, the Chinese have denied all responsibility, and have had the affront to attempt to deflect the blame on others - Italy and USA soldiers are two of their alleged sources of the pandemic.
Moreover they have lied about the number of deaths resulting from the virus in their country - the estimates range from a factor of 15 to 40. Their deception has resulted in far more victims and deaths than might have been the case had they presented accurate information to the World.
I believe that the Chinese should acknowledge their responsibility for what is effectively a major crime against humanity. Although its origin may not have been a deliberate action on their part, the spread of the infection could have been brought under control far earlier, and the huge death toll and economic consequences significantly reduced had they had the decency to share accurate information promptly with the rest of humanity.
As stated earlier I hope that they will suffer consequences as a result of their bizarre attitude towards the well-being of the rest of the World. Sadly, I doubt that this will be the case, or whether their leaders will have the decency to apologise to the World. They would require an empathy transplant to enable that to happen.

The Chinese are Universally Despised all over the region. They are colonizing the developing world with money and raping their natural resources. Enabled by the corrupt dictators who w***e their countries to the Chinese.
They eat rats cats dogs bats, anything that moves. If you go on YouTube you’ll find the most appalling barbarity Chinese afflict on animals. No respect for wildlife or the environmental. Just brutal conscienceless exploitation.
The world needs to censure them. And one things for certain - their eating habits will cause yet another pandemic soon - and possibly worse than the coronavirus. If anyone is going to destroy humanity it’s the Chinese. They’ve been responsible for the 1957 influenza pandemic which killed millions, SARS and Corona but to name three. It’s also believed the Black Death (bubonic plague) originated there. And all because of their foul gastronomical habits. Any worm infested stray dog is quickly whipped off the streets and into the cooking pot - how hygienic is that?
Don’t take my word for it, a few simple google searches will reveal the horrific truth.

Agreed Bertram. In my humble opinion, there needs to be a (financial) reckoning at some point in time, when the current global pandemic has ended. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen as so many companies in a large number of countries are dependent on goods produced in China.
Bertram, the chances are there is a fair amount of Huawei NEs in the BT network. I was working for Fujitsu at the BT Martlesham labs from 2004 to 2008 during the BT21CN testing prior to rollout. Huawei was on-site in the labs, but they were the secondary or back-up vendors during network testing (with equipment for covering both the optical and access parts of the network). Huawei didn't do core routing on BT21CN. Fujitsu was the lead supplier for the copper and fibre MSANs that provided connectivity to customer CPE. BT probably dealt with Huawei as they were cheaper, so it probably helped them to negotiate better deals when buying equipment from the other vendors and the idea was there was no difference with traffic on the BT21CN network whether it was routed through Fujitsu or Huawei equipment, although the underlying MSAN technology and OAMP were totally different. BT had 2 vendors involved with each part of the network so if the lead vendor had issues during product development they had a back-up vendor they could buy kit from. I don't know what the final network roll-out looked like, but during lab testing it sounded like Fujitsu were going to supply around 75% of the access equipment and Huawei 25%.

Yes we did LT and we sorted it out. The Chinese people caused the Sars virus, and they still haven't learnt their lesson. They're responsible for all these deaths and peoples future health problems that's going to affect them for the rest of their lives that this virus has caused, it's on their shoulders.
Agreed Bertram, the people in China haven't learnt their lesson from the Sars virus, they still keep eating vermin regardless.
Will this Chinese spread virus finally finish any huawei involvement in our phone infrastructure? I absolutely do not want any involvement with dirty China ever again. IMHO they should pay for the death, financial, and global misery they have caused.
