Blaming China is pointless: Western countries had control of their borders and did not act.

Taiwan started its lockdown procedures on people entering from China on December 31st, 2019.

Taiwan knew what was happening, and all governments should have had similar knowledge - they certainly should not have been waiting for China to tell WHO or whatever other lame argument that article makes.

I am sick of the same boring cliché arguments being trotted out about how we think China should act: how we act is what matters.

Sorry, off topic I know.

I agree that the fault also lies with other countries for letting the virus in so easily. But the grandparent poster asked for an example where the CCP lied and I obliged.

The full story there is the local authorities lied initially, then the feds found out and fired them while slamming the red alert button. Mayor of Wuhan and Governor of Hubei sacked in the aftermath. This all happened MONTHS before the virus hit the US.

The CCP is 100 million people.

Yeah the problem Is the CCP itself with its incentive structure, not the "bad apples"
