China has reacted to the outbreak of coronavirus in Italy by sending aid. The US has reacted by suspending flights. Who is the superpower?
People who insist on misunderstanding this tweet should look in the mirror. Our president has lied and covered up this disease; he announced a travel ban, without warning his allies, as a fake cure. You think he is a model for the world?
Also, here is my article about Chinese concentration camps, from last year, please read it very carefully washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
And please read my book about Soviet communist concentration camps, here is a link

and remember: South Korea is a democracy. Their strategy did not require drastic, authoritarian measures.
They did have - which we no longer do - public institutions and government departments staffed by the top experts in their fields, and elected officials willing to listen to them. They did not have a president whose main concern was himself.
and yes, their tactics contain the seeds of future problems: huge new databases, surveillance, tracking of people. There, and everywhere, managing these new powers will be the next big challenge for democracies

This is true. Now look in the mirror and face the truth: we are also here because of the lies and deception of Donald Trump and Fox news
Here is a video of the lies and deceptions of our president. People like you need to face up to them. Cover-up, deflection and propaganda is what journalists in communist countries do
Only when we fix our own problems - which requires accurate and honest analysis - will we be able to face the coming economic and cultural challenge from China, home of the modern gulag

It's been hectic here, and I have only now read the article that @marklevinshow linked and President Trump retweeted late last night. It's an extraordinarily shoddy piece of writing, but actually quite revealing of how pro-Trump media are now shifting to cope with this crisis...
My original article, the one partially quoted and mischaracterized by the Federalist, did not praise the Chinese communist party. My article excoriated the Chinese communist party. Read it for yourself. amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/60…
My point was that years of neglect of public health, plus Trump's creation of a leadership cult around himself, meant that we got some similar outcomes as China: slow reactions, a cover-up, presidential lies and talk of hoaxes.

🇨🇳 #China (1) | The question is no longer if, but how hard, the #coronavirus will damage Chinese economy (and its trading partners) in 1Q20.
🇨🇳 #China (2) | A blockage of 16 cities (~50 million people) coupled with the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday and prohibition for Cos to return to work soon implies that 1Q will fall below 6% for the first time since QoQ figures are recorded.
🇨🇳 #China (3) | The impact will probably broaden from retail sales, tourism/transportation...

#China: A nurse in #Wuhan that treats #coronavirus patients at a hospital has released a video saying that 90,000 people are now infected with the virus, adding to the many claims of a cover-up
neonnettle.com/news/10102-nur…
The woman, wearing a protective suit and face mask to treat the sick in Wuhan, issued a plea for help alleging the number of infected is now in the tens of thousands – far more than the figure of just 1,975 issued by government officials.
The warning from the heart of the outbreak has emerged as Chinese officials face accusations of downplaying the gravity of the crisis by censoring criticism of its handling of the disease.
