If the root cause of the problem is not resolved, even we overcome this virus, then now what? What's next? If the next virus hit us again, would Chinese government still try to cover up the problem and stop people from speaking up? Would WHO stop down playing the problem and advice not taking actions? It's a wake up call, while it's nice to have some heartwarming help from internet, I am more concern about COVID-19 is not the worst case, it's just a test, next thing could be way worse if we only try to look away from the root problem, like all the time we did.

Sorry to say that, but Taiwan did the best to control it

See it yourself, not China. They hide data from the world, beat people up on street. How come that now becomes a model for the world? Taiwan is a free country, and yet they did a great job there.

What they say in the channel are all true, they have been traveling in China and living there for long time, they married Chinese wife. If you really look closely, you will notice that they pointed out many problems in China, which I don't think it's Sinophobia. If you point out problems in any country makes you something phobia, then there's no freedom of speech....

I've been watching COVID-19 very closely since 2019 Dec it, I also witnessed how WHO responses to this Pandemic. If you were me, you will notice that WHO tried very hard to please China, rather than taking people's health into consideration. Many things they did:
- Advice not to ban flight to China after China locked down hubei lockdown (yes, many country trust WHO, like Japan and Korea)
- Met and praised Xi many times, admire how wonderful they did
- Keep down playing how serious the problem can be, and didn't advice any action
And recently, China suddenly donate $20M to WHO

If you have no idea how bad it already was when WHO suggest not restrictions needed, than I would suggest you watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-nv7j9HEgY
Many of the footage are before the Jan 30 WHO announcement, like the many body moving in front of hospital.
WHO probably already know what's really happening there, but still given wrong advice, so that many countries, like Korean, Japan follow the instruction by WHO, not imposing the restriction on China. And now people in these countries are suffering from the misinformation provided by WHO.
Another evidence WHO is controlled by China, that is when Taiwanese people want to join WHO to get latest update about the virus and help from the world, Chinese government doesn't want this to happen.

So basically Taiwan was excluded from the global health system for long time because that.
I am from Taiwan, I don't feel surprise at all that WHO is controlled by China, as they have shown it that way long time ago on the issue of excluding people from Taiwan. So that's obviously political over people's health in the world.

Well, allow me to remind you the timeline
> On 23 January 2020, the central government of the People's Republic of China imposed a lockdown in Wuhan and other cities in Hubei province in an effort to quarantine the epicentre of an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Hubei_lockdowns
What do you mean nobody had travel restrictions? The report from WHO date was on 30 January 2020, when they saw this and yet suggest not to put any restrictions?

Please don't trust WHO, obviously they got heavily influence from Chinese government.
Remember when COVID-19 out-broken in China, the WHO told us
"The Committee does not recommend any travel or trade restriction based on the current information available. "
https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/30-01-2020-statement-on...
Then we saw China locked down all major city themselves. Now you tell me it's fine not to ban flights from China?
And they also keep mentioning it's not a big deal. Obviously they don't want to hurt Chinese economy. I won't trust anything they say, as their interest is China government's interest, not people's health.
