Leave it to NYT’s Max Fisher to pretend China is somehow the good guy here while claiming America is scapegoating the country. We get it, the New York Times has some sort of directive to hate on Trump and destroy him but maybe just maybe he should stop trashing the country that allows him to write this sort of garbage in the first place.
Max does realize if he were in China he could never write anything negative about them, right?
US outbreaks may be too far along for the South Korea model to work. The only thing left is the China model. It’s the only known success at subduing a full-blown epidemic. Instead of working with Beijing on finding lessons, the US is scapegoating China to deflect political blame.

Dude.
Really?
I get why no one wants to hold up the China model as laudable, given Beijing's failures, propaganda, and authoritarian methods. But none of those are necessarily needed to reproducing China’s real successes, which could at least potentially save hundreds of thousands of lives.

No, he doesn’t get it.
If your well-grounded concern is that official Chinese data can never be trusted, it’s worth considering that the WHO is vouching firsthand for the country having achieved a major turnaround. Is it worth even looking for lessons? https://t.co/231xWZ5rqT

Way to stand up for the Chinese Government!
Oh, and WHO lied their as*es off for weeks about the virus to protect China but whatever, Max.
So you’re wrong.

See?
Pretty amazing lineup of quotes here:
"known success"
"…given Beijing's failures, propaganda, and authoritarian methods. But…"

Only if by ‘amazing’ he means embarrassing, pathetic, and all too predictable.
You work for the New York Times and you believe China’s numbers to such an extent you think we should repeat their actions?

Wow.
Max here thinks the US should be welding people shut in their homes–and come back a month later to collect the bodies.

You’re a hack for a rag. You’re not a scientist or a doctor or anybody for that matter. You’re a hype machine and a fail Trump at all costs guy. Your mayor and city officials failed you. Obama failed you by never replenishing stockpiles. You’re the problem not the solution.

The Chinese model I cludes welding people into their apartments. That is a no. Starter. I give it a few more days before people start pushing back.

Are you talking about the model where journalists that report stories counter to the state narrative disappear?
Because I'm not sure that's a road you want to go down.

You seriously think people believe China’s numbers? ?????

Oh good, you can volunteer yourself and your loved ones to the Chinese method first, you useful idiot.

Dragging people off the streets and putting them into cages, welding people inside their homes, vanishing scientists who contradict Glorious Leader, lying to the populace and the world, letting the sick die or just cremating them alive, and slave labor to get the economy moving?
