I don't blame Beijing honestly. Bigots will just run around screaming "China Flu", claim its from a lab or whatever. And they're the same people who don't trust WHO, or vaccines or whatever anyway
I'm not sure they have much to gain from collaborating unfortunately.
It's so weird watching you guys come up with reasons why cooperating with the world about a new disease is actually bad.
You don't ask China about novel diseases, just like you don't ask about war-crimes US and it's vassal state commits. Their populace or anyone under the influence of their propaganda gets mighty defensive about it.
