Idle Speculation

Chinese Communist Party celebrates 70th anniversary
In the MIDDLE of the RIGHT speculates that the Chinese government may have tried manipulate the flow of information about COVID-19. I don't doubt that they would try, however I suspect that their information control and dissemination apparatus is so creaky and hide-bound that any attempt by the leadership to direct the output would be ham-handed and counter productive. Remember:
"Dictatorships foster oppression, dictatorships foster servitude, dictatorships foster cruelty; more abominable is the fact that they foster idiocy." - Jorge Luis Borges
