China lockdown entire cities and closed its borders, but it didnt tell the west just how dangerous covid-19 really was, china bad
(in my country in the first 4 months of the pandemic they were saying masks arent needed too, only to say a few weeks ago that they always said that masks are necessary)
China was massively any tyrannically overreacting to a new strain of flu, their propaganda machine pumping out doctored photos of them building hospitals they didn't need and with videos flooding social media of poor brave citizens being cruelly locked in their houses and spooky hazmat crews spraying evil disinfectant, and also there was never any indication from China that this virus should be taken seriously
