I'm in China. The almost gleeful and overhyped anticipation of some sort of disaster in China when the country opened up stirred up by this paper and other "Bad China" narrative pushers never panned out. Doesn't matter what is happening in China opening up/shutting down you can rely on the NYT putting the worse spin it can on it and even adding some imaginative add ons. On the ground all is well. Things went much better and faster than imagined. Nothing is perfect but China continues ( on a limiting death of the vulnerable basis) doing a much better job than the US.The shut downs were never as draconian as reported. No surprise the opening up is going much better than the NYT hoped.
