There is a future in which China, not faced with a direct accusation of malfeasance and the accompanying loss of face, sits down voluntarily to agree on tougher lab safety standards. Because this is a position that benefits them.

There is also a future where we insist on “finding the truth”, or failing that, making sure that China pays the maximal political cost for impeding the investigation. I do not think that’s a future that is actually better, if what you want is lab safety protocols.
