Deflection has been Trump's MO since taking office so no big surprise.
Do you honestly believe China will abide by any findings from the investigation, particularly if it finds fault with that country? Of course it won't, it will deflect blame and nothing will change.
I think it's highly hypocritical of the west, and in particular the US, to demand an investigation into something that they did to us when the west has been responsible for numerous incidents causing massive loss of life and wealth to others? We have no moral right, really we don't.
The information about a major pandemic on this scale has been out for over 10 years .every single country had time to prepare ,I'm pretty sure most people know China is not the most honest or trustworthy country to belive. Trumps has pretty much contradicted every word he has said .instead of accepting any responsibility looks like he will go as far as a war for deflecting. Really not a world leader that should have power with what is going on.
Not sure where that leaves us, we sold our arse to China but still suck Americas dick
Of course I don't believe China will be upfront and forthcoming with information or the truth.
Nowhere did I suggest that, i pointed out that an investigation will merely catch China's lies in the early stages.
However, we shouldn't think we have a pandemic response down pat. Excluding trumps response (because it was purely about ego), we have case studies of different approaches, e.g sweden with no lockdown vs other countries with lockdowns, new zealand with immediate lockdown vs other countries with gradual lockdown, and then of course the economic recoveries of each different type of response.
You can have a pandemic plan/response, but how it plays out in real life raises parts of the plan that were missed/not taken into account and that would/should be the whole point of the investigation.
Mind you as much as for China's lies about the early stages, it seems USA intelligence had warnings of this pandemic as early as November. So it would suggest that the international community already don't believe what comes out of the Chinese governments mouth
