Chinese government paid WHO to not criticize China. When the doctor shared a worrying diagnostic about a new infection (which was a new coronavirus) authorities in Wuhan immediately pounced on Li, and made him sign a letter admitting he was "spreading rumors" and "making false comments." Now, this is what is supposed to happen in autocratic country like China where you can't call out your government.
America is not a model for handling this crisis as well. They fired the commander, but now re installed him. However, Pentagon did warn of a pandemic in 2017 to which Trump heed no advice.
Times ahead don't look good for China, or at least the government of China. This is because this virus exposed how dependent the world was on China for supplies, which are not great quality.
