So who are you, that you’re this obsessed with China? All governments are bad, US bad, everything bad, but I was curious why someone would be so obviously believing of Chinese propaganda, and like every post you’ve made in this thread is about how blameless and good the Chinese government is.

Pull back the curtain for a minute. What skin do you have in this game? Be real with your SA friends. Why are you so doggedly trying to cheerlead for China?

You're putting words in my mouth - when did I ever say that all governments are bad? And how is this self submitted video by a Japanese businessman considered propaganda?

I never said anything about how good the Chinese government is but rather that the Western media's attack on China is unwarranted and pretty clear on what their agenda is.

Do I think the CCP suppresses information? Yes. Do I think the CCP has committed and commits human rights violations? Yes. Do I think that the CCP maliciously tried to or even continues to try and cover up the real extent of this virus? No.

Your hypothesis rests on self submitted youtube videos that are allowed to get beyond the Great Firewall. Meanwhile there are decades of evidence of suppression of information on a huge array of matters of state within China.

Exceptional claims require exceptional evidence.

Clearly you have never visited or lived in China - let alone have anyone you communicate with there. Do you understand how easy it is to get past the "Great Firewall"?

no one that posts on these forums cares about criticism levied against china how they handled this, so you maybe posting on the wrong forums or just have a complete lack of understanding of how much better this could have been OR if it were a different virus how much worse.

I would laugh my loving rear end off if the CCP had a CCP spy goon. But yeah, I don't think anyone here is pro xi, what with most of caring about human rights and all. So gently caress his country and whatever sanctions they end slammed with for the initial hiding of it and the total lack of transparency which would have helped save lives

Staples has a couple kinds of hand soap and some brands of paper towels that are still in stock for delivery but the TP has sold out, even the giant single ply public restroom rolls. Not the cheapest stuff but if you're desperate:

Likewise there's N95/KN95/PM2.5 masks on aliexpress, gearbest, wish, etc either arriving in a month+ for sorta high prices or in a week for like $3 per. I doubt the sellers are as trustworthy as Staples but it's a thing. I even have a company I bought a couple of electronic components from like four years ago on ebay emailing anyone who bought stuff from them in the US saying they'll sell us masks or include a box of masks with every order of $x or more (you get more masks the more electronic components you buy!)

Dealing with coronavirus stuff at work has me ready to say “gently caress it, I quit” even though with all the layoffs everywhere I know that would be a terrible idea. It’s just constant researching and staying up to date on state and federal guidelines on isolation and quarantines and ill go in for an 8 hour day and be stuck here for 13 hours because I need to screen people coming back from isolation/quarantine. gently caress this is exhausting.



And then in a few weeks I might be going to do safety on some temporary hospital construction projects where the spread is even worse. :shepface:

Soap has been pretty much impossible to find. I went to a small home hardware store and found one last bottle there, tucked in some random spot.

Trying to slow down my weed intake because some days I'm just glued to the bong. Pretty sure I've managed to burn some holes into my bronchial tubes. Why is it that sometimes my draw is extremely hot and incredibly bitter?

I've been using all this time off to train my budgies. They must now give me kisses if they want treats.

What's up with all the goons itt going to up to bat for China or Trump. Y'all are wack.

Saying that China, a despotic regime that is entirely willing to take away the freedom of movement of its citizens and track its citizens, took away the freedom of movement of its citizens and tracked their movements to stop a virus and get back to making money off their labor, can be entirely true and also not a defense of the regime.

I know this is real hard for you to understand, but places that can force their citizens to do just about anything can also force them to quarantine. Funny how that works.

and in even less shocking recent news:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-01/china-concealed-extent-of-virus-outbreak-u-s-intelligence-says

quote:

China has concealed the extent of the coronavirus outbreak in its country, under-reporting both total cases and deaths it’s suffered from the disease, the U.S. intelligence community concluded in a classified report to the White House, according to three U.S. officials.

The officials asked not to be identified because the report is secret, and they declined to detail its contents. But the thrust, they said, is that China’s public reporting on cases and deaths is intentionally incomplete. Two of the officials said the report concludes that China’s numbers are fake.

So I guess the question is, what the gently caress is that goon smoking..and how do I get it??
