You could not be more wrongUnfortunately for your ill logic, it's actually an economic system, but neither economic systems nor political ones have jack friggety shit to do with a national government lying about a pandemic.
china is a nationalist dictatorship dedicated to becoming the worlds dominant superpower
it began as a communist system but has since evolved into fascism
china lied to the world in part to save face, and I suspect in a calculated move to make the rest of the world suffer as much as china
Once AGAIN.
How any country runs its economic system is ENTIRELY irrelevant to its veracity to the world as regards a pandemic. Once AGAIN see the cited examples of belligerents in the "Great War" of 1918, AS WELL AS that of Spain, which UNlike the belligerents DID NOT censor its news about that pandemic, which is why it got saddled with the name "Spanish Flu", for being honest.
*******NONE******* of those countries did or did not censor their news on account of how they organized their economic systems or their social structure. ZERO.
Prove me wrong or STFU.
