Xi's regime is trying to get away with mass murder

Jim Geraghty at National Review Online's  "Morning Jolt," has put together a definitive timeline of Bejing's lies, deception, and general stonewalling which directly caused the global pandemic from which we are now suffering.

I keep coming back to that University of Southampton study that concluded that somewhere between 66% and 95% of the early cases in Wuhan could have been prevented.

It's not just that efforts by China and other authoritarian regimes to not only avoid responsibility but, however, implausibly, to shift the blame to the United States (after all, isn't everything America's fault?) have to be opposed to prevent the bad guys from getting away with literal mass murder. Soft-peddling the culpability of the Chinese government means becoming accomplices in it, because the next time something like this happens in an authoritarian country, take it to the bank: exactly the same thing will happen.

It's simply the way authoritarian regimes roll. The State cannot be allowed to look bad- and trifles like the lives of their citizens or countless other human beings around the world cannot be allowed to get in the way. It's like a parody of The Internationale I came across a while back says:

The State is all that really matters;
The people are just ants and bees.

The world hive needs to get stirred up about this. Mao Zedong was by far the greatest mass murderer in the history of the human race, and his successors should not be allowed to continue in his footsteps with impunity.
