It's crazy how silent the Chinese government has been throughout this and that our governments aren't calling them out for it.

[yyfrbpd]

All of this could’ve been avoided such a shame that the whole world was impacted by the lack of urgency and disregard like wow

[AryanKumar-inyf]

Most of the countries are facing a huge spike again in new cases and in china the cases are just stoped 😕 . Many countries are facing economics set backs and they are seeing a growth and going to become world biggest economy a bit early. Something is fishy 😐

[ivan]

so while china is more or less back to normal, the rest of the world is suffering and in economic chaos. Anyone think something is really suspicious here

[cheungchapelier]

In BBC camera China can never have a sunny day and everything has faded color.

[robbesymons]

There is a more sinister purpose behind it I’m 100 procent sure of that.

If you know chinese, then you will find they translate the official document in a totally misunderstanding way. For example, at 1:55, in the document "妥善保存" means "storing the sample properly" rather than "destroying them". However, someone does not care, you cannot have a rational conversation with those who know they are lying.

[gilbs]

All affected nations must support the WHO follow-up investigation. Including China, so their intentions won't be suspect. It is very difficult for the world to trust a govt that we all know censors information. Transparency will help a lot with trust.

[Daivd]

1:55 “妥善保存”（preserve properly）got translated to destroy immediately? That’s ridiculous loll

[ankitapalande]

I lost my mother and friend due to this deadly virus. These people dont understand the pain of losing their loved ones. The world is quiet but I believe GOD will take the vengeance of our losses and the pains. Many were breathless and lost their lives in terrible misery. Such people should be rebuked and we should boycott this nation.

[ramram]

Due to this single country whole world is suffering

[snick]

Why UN didn't take any action against china...we are losing more life even i don't know i will survive this wave because it spreading so fast and making more critical for everyone.

[kylegim]

I am witnessing China VS World, I am also very surprised this Covid issue is still debatable

[gamelylife]

We will never forgive you china it's 2021 and it's still going on.

[ruryrmp]

The world is in a mess because of china

[harrishemz]

I am so impress BBC can always using dark filter for China, there is any chance you could stop edited it? China is not worthy for so much edited works.

[ducntq]

Governements around the world should learn from the Vietnamese goverments. I'm not saying the Vietnamese goverment is good or bad, but specifically handling shady information from China, Vietnamese gov did extremely well. By mid of Dec 2019, information about a SARS-like virus was spreading in China mainland, the Vietnamese gov immediately closed the border between Vietnam and China, and ceased all traffic in the border. We've been treating all information from China in the worst case possible, and we have been making decision quickly.

[Merrick]

wow，dark filter again, no clear evidence, bad indication, that is real BBC style

[charleslapson]

The amount of time we spend believing we can't is more than enough time to learn how you can.

From all of it my main conclusion is - The whole world is messed up, we all need to collaborate and communicate better. A year of life went into a d*mn oblivion and many lives lost causing tragedies in families across the globe. Mismanagement of international leaders and a lack of communication is real..
