Wednesday, 09 September 2020 (YJC)_ China has come out of this crisis much better than anyone else, another example of the superiority of the Chinese communist authorities over the governments of the west.
China has declared victory over the war against Covid-19, and another example of the superiority of the Chinese communist authorities over the governments of the west. In a grand ceremony in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, medals were given to citizens who were deemed to have played key roles in the fight, and as a symbol that China was through this one, president Xi Jinping did not wear a mask and shook hands with a number of officials.
Meanwhile infections in Europe are on the rise again, India is adding 90,000 cases a day, and the uneven response in the US has become a central election issue. The contrast is stark indeed.
To many people it will seem a bit of a cheek that China should allow a virus to spread wildly, denying what was happening, infect the rest of the entire world, then declare victory. But in the short-term at least China has come much better out of this crisis than anyone else. We have to accept that. The long-term however is another matter.
