I take issue with saying China did not have the experience to deal with something like this. They had Sars outbreak in 2003. Of every country out there they should be the most experienced to deal with this.
Yet they did the same thing they did with Sars. Deny it existed until it was too late.
What I do find comforting is the surrounding nations of China did learn. As soon as the word came out of a new virus outbreak in China they took immediate action. It is like they knew China lied before and expected it to happen again, and it did. Those countries have been the most successful in containing the virus.
Staying on topic though I find it difficult to debunk either theory right now. Either way I still hold China accountable for this outbreak.
