I understand the emotion and I have similar feelings, but the very sad truth is that China stopped the bug in two months. Meantime developed world did exactly nothing an now getting the consequences. Because of this it will cost us dozens of trillions dollars and millions of lives in the best case scenario.
At the end of 1999 China was 38% bigger that the US on ppp. The US was bigger 50% on exchange rates. I hereby predict that China will overtake the US by the end of 2020 on any basis.
We have WWC in progress; brace for impact.

So why has the global economy just crashed and why is the entire world heading for lockdown if China "stopped the bug"? China arrested doctors trying to warn the world, lied to the WHO and failed to enact preventative quarantine. Western countries rely on the WHO - an organisation repeating CCP lies about the virus not being spread via person to person contact as recently as January. [twitter.com] To hell with China!

China distributed the virus genome on January 10th. Think about. Russia had test ready on January 17th. China started agressive measures on January 22nd. Today is March 22nd, the day NY is starting it, but still less agressive than that.
Meantime Czech Republic stole China humanitarian aid to Italy. https://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2020/03/21/news/coronavirus_cosi_la_repubblica_ceca_ha_sequestrato_680_mila_mascherine_inviate_dalla_cina_all_italia-251883320/ [repubblica.it]

The rest of the world should impose tariffs on China to get them to pay for this - no seriously. Practically though it ain't gonna happen, China has a lot of indirect leverage on politicians and govie officials especially in Asia via the various Chinese companies that lobby or outright bribe those in power - even the WHO is not immune. Until the various countries wake up and clean their shit up like what Trump is doing and calling out on the white elephant.
