Absolutely nothing bought from China lasts as long as a well made product.
Zilch.
Dump them.
The only way.
And yes, it's a sh*thole country where people are scared sh*tless of their govt, people are 're-eductated' if they have wrong think and near slave labour abounds.
But hey, as long as you get yor cheap sh*t from there - what do you care...

I've said it once before but I think once this all settles we might find ourselves headed to war. I hope thats not the case, but China really screwed the rest of the world over.
NOt really the worlkd government have had nearly two months to act and did nothing. It was evident there was an issue when they built hopsitals.
It was evidnet there was an issue when S korea exploded and then Itally
ALl the time the western governments did nothing.
China handled the situation very well. Look at the infection rate for western world compared to China. Who has handled it better.
In a 2019 article, Chinese experts warned it was “highly likely that future SARS- or MERS-like coronavirus outbreaks will originate from bats, and there is an increased probability that this will occur in China.” In a 2007 journal article, infectious-disease specialists published a study arguing that “the presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility of the reemergence of SARS and other novel viruses from animals or laboratories and therefore the need for preparedness should not be ignored.” It was ignored.

Really if you think the governments of the world did not see this coming then they are incomptent idiots. I will put it into perspective for you.
It was about mid jan when the virus was first identified coronavirus, which was isolated on 7
January 20.
On 12 January 2020, China shared the genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus for countries to use in developing specific diagnostic kits
(at this point any government could if they have chosen started making kit and monitoring the situation.)
It then over the next few weeks spread across many countries. Still western govenrments chose not to act.
China started compiling data on the disease and released information. (many of the testing mechanisms where faulty giving an inacaracy of data.
Skip into Febuary and this report had been compiled Report of the
WHO-China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease 2019 COVID-19)
Have a read its all there
www.who.int...
Whats your problem. We have had plenty time to act had far more warning that China did and now there is going to be a blood bath.
In Brigh Ton, still loads of people outside. Still people visiting the sea front! And people wonder why it's spreading at an alarming rate!
If they did not tackle it like they did, thousands more would have died. Look at the soft approach from other countries, hence the reason it's getting worse.
As for the lying, if you are talking about when the virus first broke, then thst was the the people who are in charge of that specific area of China.
And they were arrested and charged for lying.
Governments in the West have not even implemented simple things like everyone has to wear a mask! And people wonder why it is spreading fast in the West!
So basically your evidence that they are Lying about their numbers is that they are proven liars.
Are you saying your own government are not proven liars? Or is it just the countries that are not allies that are the evil lying scum?

I understand, its good they make it obvious. Conversing with them is talking to a wall though, why do that to yourself? Its not like you will change their mind, its not even their ideas to begin with. Sorry I dont mean to be bossy I am just frustrated to see a good thread derailed like it has been. Well done overall thank you.
