      This NYT piece- https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/29/world/asia/coronavirus-china.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage … -blames local Wuhan officials for obscuring the epidemic in early January. Does anyone know of firm evidence that the *national* Chinese govt engaged in a cover-up? (I know that's routinely asserted--I'm looking for actual evidence of it.)pic.twitter.com/vGbyX6djXr

      This may not give you a smoking gun, but there's lots of context: https://newrepublic.com/article/157118/trump-xi-jinping-america-china-blame-coronavirus-pandemic …

      Smoking guns are even more elusive in full-on authoritarian regimes than in ours, alas . . .

      That's no excuse for the casual allocations of blame that feed right into Trump's don't-blame-me-blame-the-commies messaging strategy (and also reinforce the worst tendencies in our foreign policy and complicate the prospects for fruitful international cooperation).

      I guess I see no difficulty in reconciling Trump’s failures with the existence of enormities caused by the CCP. Maybe it’s my sources but the CCP’s style of governance discourages “we have a problem here” reporting from the provinces. Then CCP will blame the provincials

      I’m curious which other Asian powers TNR refers to the right as blaming. i’ve seen little else but praise for Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong all of whom made more effective use of travel restrictions than USA.

      Here's Seema Verma suggesting that one reason South Korea has been so effective in responding to the coronavirus is because it isn't a "free" country like the United States pic.twitter.com/ortfUBBYri

          It’s insulting but not allocating blame for the virus
