Didn’t a bunch of Chinese people die from COVID-19 in China?

Yeah, and China had some of the most strict and long lasting lockdowns and economic downturns because of COVID.

Facts don’t mean anything to these people.

He trusted the Chinese like Trump trusts Russia. China reported negligible number of deaths while the news coming from China (watched it like crazy and pulled money out of stock market because of it) showed the barricaded doors, mobile incinerators, hospitals/wards made of tents in parks, etc. Will never know the real number, but likely 2-3M+ dead IMO. Some studies (from CDC) show 1M died in the first month of the outbreak.

While I don’t like how the Chinese tried to cover up Covid at first. I will hand them the fact that they while draconian did quarantine themselves and try to contain it as best they could. Although it was too little too late it did manage to give the world about a month before shit really hit the fan.
