fabrication and hyperbole - your standard fare! You categorize my factual statements as "praise for China"... how weak is your "argument" when you have to resort to such lame-assed plays. I identified the formal notification to WHO and the genome sequencing share - facts that you're clearly uncomfortable with. Your statement, "If China did, as I say, contact the WHO is gold, real gold!  ;D Again, how Trumpian of you!

for as much as you bluster and make shyte up, I will emphasize you chose to ignore my request of you; the one where I ask you to identify your implied missing China obligations to the international community . Of course, in response to me providing you 2 key example deliverables to the international community, you can't manage to answer my request. Instead you go allOutKimmy and beak-off about Huawei phones and calling me John McCallum - twice... on top of previously stating, repeatedly, I'm scumbag lawyering!

yes, clearly... you've lost it - mission accomplished says the waldo!  ;D

China's efforts to cover up the SARS outbreak even after Dec 31 when it was clear they knew what they had on their hands are unforgivable.

Wuhan is a city of apparently 11 million, it's an international business hub, it's a tourist destination for Yangtze River cruises apparently. Countless people would have come and gone from Wuhan during December.

If you don't recognize that their efforts to cover up the virus outbreak during that time are betrayal of their responsibility to not just their own citizens but to the rest of the world as well, then you need a kind of help I just can't give you.

the waldo suggests member kimmy exercise caution in blindly accepting ALL statements critical of China - given the voracious appetite Trumpites have in deflecting Trump failures/incompetence toward China... in influencing the narrative cast by compliant media towards China failures (instead of Trump failures), thinking persons should be very diligent in source selection. As an example re-quoted above, I've already challenged you (several times with re-posts) to present a reputable sourced timeline that draws distinction between what China did (or didn't do) in terms of domestic versus international obligations... where I, in particular ask you to relate your implied missing international obligations.

for reference: China locked down the city of Wuhan (11 million people) on January 23rd... the same day other cities within the province of Hubei were also locked down (impacting upon a total population of 57 million people).

one of Trump's latest go-to azz-coverings is to repeatedly state he was first to impose a travel ban from China. Point in fact, Italy imposed a ban on flights from China on 31 January... the U.S. followed 4 days later; most pointedly, Italy enacted a full ban, while the U.S. policy was only a restriction, with wide exemptions. Just yesterday scientists have advised the source origin of the virus impacting upon the U.S. northeast coastal states was from Europe, not China.

As for John McCallum... if you don't like being compared to John McCallum, stop acting like John McCallum.

As for scumbag lawyering... if you don't like the accusation of scumbag lawyering, then stop lawyering for scumbags.  I'm completely baffled by your determination to make excuses for Chinese animal traffickers and "traditional Chinese medicine" practitioners.

I have no like... or dislike for either. I'm quite content to emphasize your repeated usage of the tags... particularly as you think them pertinent!  ;D I expect by your nattering repeat references to Huawei, you're so troubled by McCallum's foot-in-mouth (non-diplomatic) comments about the U.S. extradition request against Meng Wanzhou... I personally think he was right in his statements concerning her case to fight extradition. Not for this thread, but if you feel emboldened, McCallum's arguments to fight the extradition are public knowledge... make sure you take those on, hey! And also make sure you speak to the UK decision to align with Huawei's 5G - I mean, clearly you're troubled with the company!  ;D

as for your repeated want to label me as 'scumbag lawyering', I've not said word one... NOT WORD ONE... in favour of, as you say, "Chinese animal traffickers and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners". Clearly your peanutBrain infers my challenge to your unsubstantiated certainty that the origin point/source is the Wuhan market, is me advocating! Get a grip, member kimmy - get a grip!
