The Chinese Virus is a product that is available, although mostly not wanted, but it has spread widely throughout the market place. It is an advertising guys dream, costs nothing, easily disseminated, you get it whether you want it or not.
What the spread has shown is the difference in the market places throughout the world, how the product has been taken up, how it has been reported, how it being "treated".
Most First Worlders were quick to shut down, and the current data shows that this strategy has been quite successful in slowing the spread, the data from Third Worlders is sparse is probably incorrect, but truth will out in the end.
The biggest pretender is China, wanting to match it with the First Worlders but still the hamstrung kid hanging at the back of the pack and lying, lying, lying. When the shit stops flying it will be found that China will have the biggest death rate, the biggest infection rate, the biggest disruption to its markets that are not real markets at all.
Chinese culture still reigns supreme in China, the Communist only took over the Imperialists to instigate a new bunch of bosses, so the Mandarins changed but still lorded it over the proles. That Chinese culture is based on "Face" which is based on lies, all to save said "Face". This culture does not allow for any fault to be taken even in the face of death.
Western culture, based on Judeo Christian structures, allow for fault to be taken, get up, dust off, try again. It is expected, and this is one of the reasons why Western culture reigns supreme throughout the World. Western culture learns through example and fault, it is built into our DNA to expect to fail at some time but to learn from our mistakes.
This is the most telling example of why China will not recover from this period of time as well as Western cultures. Our system of culture allows fault and fix, Sino culture does not allow for fault so no fix can be applied. Obfuscate and dodge is the best they can try, but this does not allow a fix.
So no blue skies for China, just deep red like their flag.
