    I think they could’ve earned a lot of global respect by freely publishing anything and everything they knew about the virus and collaborating internationally to find a cure.

    It’s a bit disappointing that China wasn’t the first to a vaccine, and I wonder if they would’ve been if they had just been more open and transparent about sharing information.

      What China thinks will get them global respect and what will actually get them respect are very different things.
