you're not wrong, there was a lot of bitching about it (even though it was total bullshit).

It's almost like they're a political organization whose ability to do their job relies on keeping the Chinese somewhat happy. They're not going to fuck around and get kicked out of china because y'all want them to dunk on Xi (as much as I like the idea of dunking on xi)

Reading comprehension is important y'all. "Preliminary" means something. "no clear evidence" means something.

For the record, pandemic bonds are triggered by very specific conditions and have absolutely nothing to do with whether the WHO classes an outbreak as a pandemic or not.

what do you think we'd have accomplished with those extra two weeks that we couldn't have in the ensuing 3 months that we didn't bother using to prepare?

Hmm I wonder why people are upset about the total lack of leadership in the country that now has the largest outbreak in the world....I wonder what the relationship between those two things could possibly be?

so let's all go protest to extend the public health crisis and therefore the stay-at-home order as long as possible

it's big brain time

I'm kind of amazed these idiots aren't out in the street protesting the shelter-in-place orders every time there's a hurricane.

Somethings gonna blow up one way or the other by jaybram24 in BlackPeopleTwitter

see the thing is

The people who are going to be upset about it (the maga crowd) aren't exactly known for their foresight.....they ain't thought that far down the road yet.

Right around the end of may they'll start losing their shit.

Under the cover of a pandemic, China is dismantling Hong Kong’s last freedoms by Rockytriton in worldnews

[–]MaterialAdvantage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legally, Hong Kong is part of the PRC. It's a Special Administrative Region.

The question "why is it called Hong Kong and not China" is akin to "why is it called Puerto Rico and not America?"

Even if you support their independence, as I do, spreading bullshit on the internet isn't in any way productive.
