      The US has well over a million COVID deaths and millions dealing with long COVID and China, a country 4 times the size had <60K deaths last I checked. That's probably less than any state in the US.

        I'm not trying to "WELL AKSHULLY" you, but I curious and looked the number up. According to the WHO, China has recorded just over 27,000 deaths from COVID.

        Of course, that number doesn't account for the WHO being unprovably corrupt and incompetent, or for the propensity of us Asiatics to be inscrutable and face-saving, so maybe the libs do have a point.

              It's hysterical that western media pretends that One China is this grand worldconquering ambition in their daily reporting, but if Taiwan does something bad, then suddenly it's "Taiwan Province", which they usually burry so deep in the article that you'd need a fucking magnifying glass to find it.
