China got Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), to say that China's response to the coronavirus showed the "superiority of the Chinese system and this experience is worthy of emulation by other countries." Then Beijing set about making a big show of "donating" medical equipment and diagnostic kits, most notably to stricken Europe.
The WHO is about as broken as any other part of the UN. But in particular, the WHO have become subverted by China. Check out this opinion piece that points out some of the issues:
https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/opinion/lost-in-beijing-the-story-of-the-who/ar-BB12lYCo?li=AAggbRN
China sent the world images of workers wearing protective gear using infrared thermometers to check civilians, demonstrating how superior their approach is. But this is the same China that mercilessly cleared slums and put up empty facades of nice houses and buildings prior to the Beijing Olympics. To them, it is all theater.
I trust nothing out of China. They are as manipulative of "news" and "facts" as the Soviets were in their heyday. We went for DECADES thinking the Soviets had their sh*t together, and had a strong economy... until it all collapsed. China certainly has a strong economy, but there are serious flaws and fault-lines that could bring everything crashing down. In fact, this crisis may replicate somewhat what Reagan did in the 80's -- ramp up the economic pressure both at home in the US AND in our enemy (China), and see who survives.

Thanks Tip … I just read an article that says the US is the top money giver to WHO and that in 2017 we gave them somewhere around $500 million dollars (almost 25% of their entire budget). It is insane the that the leader gave out the wrong information and backed China. He should be fired on the spot.
When this is all over there will be hell to pay when he is trying to answer our questions.
