I think we can say without a shadow of a doubt there won't be any AFL game in China next year or possibly for a few more years
The head of the WHO also got the job though China's support plus his home country is reliant on Chinese trade investment.
So outrageously corrupt.
If the who didn't chastise countries for banning travel from China early doors we may not be in such a s**t position right now.
“The time to act was actually more than a month ago, two months ago. That’s what we have been saying,” he said at a news briefing. “But we still believe that there is opportunity.”
“I think we squandered the first window of opportunity but we are saying today,” Tedros added. “This is a second opportunity that we should not squander.”
I would be amazed if they weren't.Will player contracts need to be redone?
The season ain't happening.If it’s not at least a 17 round season, where everyone plays everyone, to me the season would have an asterisk. Season should be null and void if it doesn’t happen.
Did more then that:
Then they had the nerve to say the world "missed the 1st window to stop the spread."
America is in a different situation to us. They have $100 billion of exports to china vs $4-500 billion of imports per year (meaning they lose $3-400 billion a year from trading with china)US Senator J. Hawley, a Republican, has introduced a resolution into the US Senate to hold China FULLY culpable for the covid-19 coverups, lies, & devestation it is FULLY responsible for unleashing onto the world.
He
" ... is calling for an international investigation into the Chinese government's handling of the coronavirus outbreak".
"...said the international community should quantify the damages from the coronavirus pandemic and force Beijing to pay for the lives & livelihoods that it has destroyed (all my emphases).

He also said the international community should quantify the damages from the coronavirus pandemic and force Beijing “to pay for the lives...www.businessinsider.com.au
Hawley's views are certain to be echoed by many other US politicians (a few have made similar comments); & other countries' politicians (There have been reports of the British Conservative Party govt. wanting China to face a "reckoning" over its culpability).
It is very unlikely that China will voluntarily agree/cooperate to either of the plans in Hawley's Resolution.
This type of international response/anger etc. over China's culpabilty, & concomitant compensation, is very likely to become a major international issue for many years, so massive are the death/illnessses/financial losses. The Chinese Communist Party cannot simply solve this problem, as it does with some domestic "irritants": a jail term,"re-education camp","disappearance", or execution.
It has always seemed unlikely. Perhapsl es unlikely now than it did heading into round one.The season ain't happening.
Many of us were saying as much during the week leading into round 1.
This season will have an * against it regardless of what happens from here.If it’s not at least a 17 round season, where everyone plays everyone, to me the season would have an asterisk. Season should be null and void if it doesn’t happen.
China is doing more than just influencing the WHO. Their trying to get their grubby hands on as many strategic economic and geographical locations as possible. Even during the pandemic they are trying to profit and assert their influence.

China’s ambition is nothing less than world domination through control of maritime trade.www.nationalreview.com
Wouldn't be surprised if China not only invented this virus but had the antidote/vaccine the whole time. They'll sweep most of the western economy and then swoop in as heroes with the solution.China is doing more than just influencing the WHO.

You should wave, smile and nod. Bowing as a westerner comes off as mocking
Who are they accountable to? They're the global super power now.We're not stupid and we don't comply with their totalitarian ideology. They're not going to get away with it.
We won't know the true numbers for a while.
Even Italy there is underreported deaths by Covid-19 and they are aware of that. Unlike the CCP life is much more valuable to them and they will be transparent.
And Spain?I thought the way that the Italians are reporting it’s possible that they are over reporting the Covid-19 mortality rate (like they have influenza where deaths associated with other mobilities are reported as influenza which is very different to the rest of Europe)
To the rest of the world. If countries decide to pull manufacturing out of China, sanctions, prevent flights from China, etc then they'll collapse.Who are they accountable to? They're the global super power now.
Good, but it'll mean paying more for goods as we don't pay factory workers $2 per hour hereTo the rest of the world. If countries decide to pull manufacturing out of China, sanctions, prevent flights from China, etc then they'll collapse.
At this point I don't really care. Maybe we need this shift.Good, but it'll mean paying more for goods as we don't pay factory workers $2 per hour here
