US Navy cover up for instance. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/05/magazine/navy-captain-crozier-positive-coronavirus.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/05/politics/mark-esper-uss-theodore-roosevelt-defends-removal-cnntv/index.html
Take care
We’re worse!
The only thing US does better is freedom of press so intelligent people can actually see the cover ups and (hopefully) vote out all the corrupted and incompetent politicians
That fact that you can send stories from a free press shows that one is better than the other.
Beside that, US beuracracies and cover ups are just as bad as China. Also, lots of people, including you and I, are a lot of times not able to distinguish between real and fake news. The advantage of freedom of press gets discounted when it's flooded with fake news.
Not at all - there’s an open dialogue and cross examination of news all the time. In China, there is one provider. Monopolies always abuse their power.
Always funny to see how naive the sanctimonious anti-CCP crowd is, when our government is very bit as shady and corrupt, in some ways more so.
Humans are shady. Systems provide checks and balances. CCP has none.
Poll is false choice. Some cover ups and retaliation may exist in government and medical field, but there's a matter of degree, and the press is given indemnity in the US. Nobody is going to get executed for being a whistleblower either.
The captain got fired for being whistleblower

Terrible choices. How about the fed is downplaying the issue because they ignorantly think they’re calming panic while China is straight up lying and trying to leverage this tragedy as a chance to redraw their borders and have their citizens cede all control to the state.
I believe CCP was also covering up for social stability at early stage. It was approaching Chinese New Year(like Christmas in the west)when all this started, the local leaders certainly didn’t want to be reprimanded by central government and played dumb. They instituted very strict testing criteria to keep numbers low(only those directly connected to wet market would get tested), just like in US maintained that only people with travel history to China could get tested during Feb. I think it’s understandable but unforgivable. They paid a steep price for that.
Exactly and US is repeating what China did, which is a shame
