中国让美国“浪费”的两个月去哪儿了？

Where is the two months delay caused by China?

With the early failure of the US government trying to down play the severity of the coronavirus, now many top US officials turned to the blame game when they found they can do nothing to prevent an overwhelming crisis.

China has given the US two months, rather than caused two months’ delay. But that two months have been squandered by the US.

Senior US officials accused that China has muted a whistleblower. Even if it could be regarded as to be true, does it matter? Whistleblowing cannot help the US. 1.4 billion people have been blowing the whistle for US for months, you have been deaf to that thunder, or pretended to be deaf, while you are busy weaponizing any defect in China’s dealing with the epidemic. Now the virus has started to hit the US.

You will not believe whatever China tells you, you will not do whatever has been proven effective in China. The question is not what China has done or has not done, the question is China.

Let us suppose China and the US have cut all economic and diplomatic ties, something that many US politicians want to do. But in the global era, the virus will still spread to the US soon enough. In this case, the US has to stand alone without any aid from China, just as nobody can come to China’s aid, even if they are willing to, when the unknown virus was first identified in China.

​As the country“boasted” with the most developed medical care system, nobody can be the  US’s teacher, and any reasonable mind believes American aggressiveness in science will soon find its way to tackle any new virus. In fact so many people in Taiwan hailed when they heard there is outbreak in the US - they believe a vaccine will soon be on the way, since the US has led the world standing up against the aliens in numerous brainwashing movies. What is surprising is, when the superpower shows ineptitude, the US politicians play the blame game.

When China has shown the effectiveness of “early identification, early isolation, early treatment”, US just refused to buy this story. Too few tests have been done up to now, which is totally at the fault of US politicians. When people with COVID-19 symptoms go to hospital to request a test, the doctor tells them he has no right to order a test for them. The US politicians are slaughtering or murdering the US citizens, if not intentionally.

The tactics used by China are mostly put forward by western doctors and scientists in past centuries. Facial mask，which has played a role in containing so many diseases like pestilence, was not invented by Chinese. But whatever skills used by the US’s “authoritarian” competitor would go around carrying labels of “dictatorship, suppression and restraint of liberty”. The US wants to do anything that is not Chinese, rather than do something that is advocated by Chinese, amounting to ignorant arrogance in face of this elusive infectious virus, which is threatening all people, not just Chinese.

When the outbreak was reported in China, many people in the west were watching, even for fun and self-satisfaction, sitting on the dry land. They thought the virus had hit because of poor medical care system in China, bad health habits of the Chinamen, or because the majority of Chinese ate bats, the well-known host of a variety of viruses. “We will be safe and do well”, they told themselves.

Now, put away your arrogance, check the tools you have in the inventory and act fast with guts, decisiveness and respect for the life of your people, even though it is already too late. Whenever you act, it is still much better than no actions at all.

China needs two months to get things under control, the US needs two months to wake up. Come down from that top of the hill, and start to do some basic jobs that help.
