🚨 A new white paper from China’s State Council Information Office has reignited global scrutiny of America’s COVID-19 response, calling it a "big failure" marked by political missteps and avoidable tragedies.
🎯 Downplaying the Crisis: In early 2020, U.S. leaders dismissed COVID-19 as a "bad flu," ignoring warnings and accelerating the virus’s spread. By April 2020, cases hit 660,000—yet officials still prioritized reopening for economic gains ahead of elections. 📉
💔 Human Cost: Over 1.13 million deaths were recorded by May 2023, per U.S. CDC data—16.4% of global fatalities. Critics argue America’s world-class healthcare infrastructure should’ve performed better.
🌐 Global Contrast: The report highlights China’s "responsible" pandemic measures and urges cooperation over politicization. With the U.S. still facing pandemic aftershocks, the white paper’s critique asks: Who really led the world during crisis? 🤔
