Pffft….China closed down, all right. They literally, locked people in their homes so they couldn’t leave to even buy groceries - how civilized. They also tried to cover it up, as opposed to allowing other countries like the US to react. The US was one of the first countries - if not the first - to block flights from China early on and it’s president was accused of being xenophobic for doing so. Get your ‘facts’ in order.
And let’s not try to compare the US and Canada 200 years ago to today’s China.
