Lol, the projection.
To entertain it, if the media were exactly the same, you wouldn't hear any of this "evidence". China is "the enemy" in the current situation, so they have to put the boot in.
Also, they're forgetting that there already is an example of this: the 1918 flu, the earliest documented case being in Kansas. As we all know, tens of millions died and Spain got the blame for it. I am unaware what the discourse was like back then, but I suspect the US came out pretty well (reputationally). It's hard to say how it would have been with social media, although without the mainstream media putting the boot in, it wouldn't have had much to feed off.
Thing is, we don't have to entertain it. The scenario this person laid out in the first paragraph already largely exists and this is exactly how it has played out in the media. They can't even praise the country. When the news talks about East Asia's success, they omit the PRC. When a country in East Asia besides PRC falters, they act like the whole region has faltered. This person is wrapped up in a little bubble reality.
