agree with your read on the article but not on your conclusion. in general, I don't think fudging the truth for strategic reasons ever turns out well in the long run, mostly because, we're not smart enough to anticipate what the long run impact of our strategic lying will be. secondly, the strategy itself, going out of our way, up to and including hiding the causes of a global pandemic, in order to avoid ever hurting china's feelings, just does not seem viable to me at all.
