Do you know that for a fact? Will we ever actually know? And even if what
you say about Xi is true, it still does not absolve China/CCP of having had
an inefficient/corrupt system that has resulted in over a million human
beings dying (with many more to die), as well as lots of people
experiencing unemployment, evictions and homelessness. I have heard the CCP
now finally has special private channels of communication for doctors and
scientists to report scary bad news to government leaders, but that does
not change the past.
