He tries too hard to mix race and government, you can criticize the CCP without being racist.
This comment much more aware:

Let’s see…
SARS in 2003 started in a Guangdong wet market. The world told China to stop consuming wild animals in medieval butcher environments, China called those people racist and said don’t interfere in internal affairs.
Last year African Swine Flu ravaged Chinese farmed pigs because incentives for provincial and local level officials abound, and there is no free media so while people may gossip there is no way to aggregate anecdotes into data and we are forced to rely on official numbers. Again, don’t criticize China because it’s an internal matter. Let’s talk about Trump and the trade war!
Now with COVID19, China knew it was a new SARS type virus in November at the very latest, it silenced doctors and destroyed samples. Taiwan warned the WHO in late December that the virus was spreading person to person. A full two weeks later China’s lapdog, the WHO, was still spreading Chinese propaganda that there was no person to person transmission.
As January wore on, large CCP banquets were held in Wuhan and life proceeded as normal for the city. People were naturally gossiping and millions left town before the lockdown was issued. The CCP had waited MORE THAN TWO MONTHS TO TAKE ANY ACTIONS, and now the virus had spread everywhere. The first COVID19 case in the US was tested positive on January 20; the Wuhan lockdown did not begin until January 23. They could have shut it all down in Wuhan, eliminating all other global cases. Calling the Wuhan cover-up just as bad as any other country’s response is just plain ignorance. Wuhan was the original sin, every other case on the planet stems from Wuhan.
In January the WHO and the Chinese government were calling restrictions on Chinese travel visas at best unnecessary, at worst racist. The WHO refused to raise the alarm, and China refused to let the WHO into Hubei.
Now as Chinese official case numbers dip to zero (they haven’t admitted to any domestic to domestic transmission for weeks), the Chinese narrative shifts to blaming foreigners, forcing mandatory 14 day quarantine on foreigners based on skin color rather than travel history, and raising conspiracies at the highest levels of officialdom about how the US Army had managed to import and spread COVID19 in Wuhan.
This is the country we are dealing with. Damn straight I’m blaming the Chinese Communist Party, all their propagandists, all their sympathizers and deflectors, and all their useful idiots.
