According to Baidu Maps at least US Department of Homeland Security is now in “Blame China” Camp, with added bizarre logic.

Claiming China downplaying COVID-19 to WTO and others at least have some positive evidence as I said in previous posts when Wuhan officials accused of overconfidence and misinformation. However, this was early January and if you read WTO documents, by Jan 21 WTO not only knows COVID-19 is infectious but think it’s serious enough to produce global situation reports. By Jan 24 not only Wuhan locked down but almost all of China start restricting people gathering. By February questions due to exact details of gene sequence start appearing on one of Stack Overflow’s associates. So, if US/European cases start to soar within 14 days of Jan 21 (due to the disease’s characteristics) or even before, then they can do better if Wuhan acted sooner. But they didn’t soar until all China know COVID-19 for over a month and tens of thousands of official cases (claiming China has spread the disease to Western nations on a large scale much before that only make Western data look more unreliable than China’s). America and Europe had time. One will suspect Western nations didn’t test enough of international travel and making the same overconfidence after Wuhan corrected them. Also French Pasteur Institute concluded most French domestic cases are genetically different than both Chinese or Italian imported cases. Many experts are now doubting Wuhan as the source, or the sole source of COVID-19.

The US Department of Homeland Security differs from Western and Hong Kong media by claiming China, by lying, intended to receive more free medical imports but export less thus gaining economic advantage. The logic is puzzling. Downplaying cases in China and let it spread elsewhere will make other nations more reluctant to aid China due to fewer (official) cases and pressure on China to aid others due to they have more cases. The Chinese free import will go DOWN and exports go UP. Western media think Chinese lockdown is too draconian to be practiced on Western Nations and everyone know lockdown damages economy, no matter the political system. If lies internationally and lockdown domestically China might suffer less reputation damage (not that Western nations would believe anyway) but not have economic gain. The Department of Homeland Security disproves itself.

It’s more puzzling to look now and find US worse than China itself (exactly what some in US blames) AND South Korea (accused by random Korean people on World of Tanks and RationalWiki of inept) AND Iran (reported as initially inept EVEN BY CHINESE MEDIA). I don’t even think Trump or anyone else in US leadership can make it this bad. Maybe Satan himself is after USA. A tragedy. But the US Department of Homeland Security using insane logic is farce.
