If there is 1 obvious factor that could have prevented the virus early on, it would be transparency from the Chinese administration of all government bodies related to the pandemic.
The irresponsible demonstration of the control of informstion, along with violating the human rights of over 5 doctors that I know of, is sickening. Not only did they lie, their lie had no benefit whatsoever to any human on earth, and was done purely out of vain political interest to save face for the decaying power structure of the CCP.
These lunatics, have been peeping their red army for war and someone needs to hold them accountable before they believe they are better than any 1 single other nation.
All this said doesn't even begin to cover the perverse genocide of Uyghur Muslims, and the abuses of human rights in Hong Kong.
If the CCP would treat its own citizens like they do in Xinjiang, what makes you think you wouldn't get treated even worse?
