I should remind you, there is a possibility for a country like China would not end up as a liberal democracy but as a illiberal democracy where it is a authoritarian government sugar coated with democracy where votes doesn't matter. Even if China allowed free and fair elections, US media will...
Disagree, liberal democracy is not necessarily = wealth. What makes China rich is "trade". Hypothetically, US will call for sanctions on China by disrupting Tibet and Xinjiang. Like you said, China will never allow them to be independent. Freedom of media and politics will inflame insurgency and...

As the traveler did not report having visited the market linked to most of the other cases, it is vital that investigations...
Everybody knows this is a different virus. Prove it that the old test kit works for example otherwise your words are meaningless. Even Korea had to manufacture new ones despite having SARS before. Think of it carefully, Taiwan and US would have attack China using this since they both experience...
