hear about how China's government made clear in December about how serious this was, and how as soon as there was the smallest little hint of a problem the full government swung into action and was immediately forthcoming. The first cases were from December.

Somehow the researcher who posted on 12/30/19 and got reamed out for it was overlooked. Or that the first cases were in November. Or that the government really tried to make out that it wasn't bad at first--and then, when it got the word, then the Chinese government realized they were screwed and needed to minimize the fall out.

As for Taiwan, it's got less international status in many ways than Palestine. Except that it has few to no defenders.
