They were afraid of the economic backlash, and China has been lying the entire time. China has been covering this up. If you look, they started going quarantine crazy after around 40 deaths. Which is ridiculous. Who the fuck shuts down their entire city for 40 dead people in a day? China wouldn't let anyone else in to look at things or help either. Now you look at SARS and other outbreaks, you assume it couldn't be that bad. So you don't over-react and blow up the economy.
They were covering it up, it's already spread all over. It's too late to stop it, the only thing to do is slow it down and make sure "nobody knows until everyone knows." The assumption that it was something like SARS was a huge mistake.
WHO is completely in China's pocket. so you'll never hear about how China completely fucked this up and allowed it to spread. A lot of other governments are owned by China too, so they'll downplay it so they don't anger China.
Not much of a war. Asking for the same deal the USA gives them or just do free trade both ways. I'm sure you already know this but China makes the USA pay 25% while the USA makes them pay like 5% or something. Trump just said ok look yu also need to pay 25%. Either that or we both don't pay anything 0%. Make it fair trade. So that's the trade war. Sounds like the war is from China not the USA. Except this policy was started by Bill 'the commie' Clinton. But honestly if Bush Sr. was elected again he would've done the same.
