| | In January 2020, the Chinese Communist Party government plainly demonstrated criminal intent by attempting to buy up the world's medical supplies, limiting all exports of their own, while refusing to communicate to the rest of the world the truth about the outbreak in Wuhan. A DHS report relates, "We further assess the Chinese Government attempted to hide its actions by denying there were export restrictions and obfuscating and delaying provision of its trade data" <ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/03/dhs-china-hiding-coronavirus-info-supplies-233185</ref>. "In January, according to the report, China increased its imports of surgical facemasks by 278 percent, surgical gowns by 72 percent, and surgical gloves by 32 percent. Meanwhile, it slashed its global exports of a host of medical products: surgical gloves by 48 percent, surgical gowns by 71 percent, face masks by 48 percent, medical ventilators by 45 percent, intubator kits by 56 percent, thermometers by 53 percent, and cotton balls and swabs by 58 percent." China has long since thus squandered the right to be treated as a good-faith actor by openly warring in such a way with the free world. | | In January 2020, the Chinese Communist Party government plainly demonstrated criminal intent by attempting to buy up the world's medical supplies, limiting all exports of their own, while refusing to communicate to the rest of the world the truth about the outbreak in Wuhan.

One of the eight doctors, Li Wenliang, unfortunately succumbed to the disease soon after Beijing’s effort to discredit him and his colleagues. The sequence of events makes plain that the Chinese regime is primarily responsible for hiding the outbreak of the coronavirus in Wuhan and delaying publicising it and, consequently, for the great havoc it has caused in the world. No amount of whataboutery can hide this fact."<ref>https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/is-china-culpable-for-the-spread-of-coronavirus/</ref> China deliberately infected the world. |
