Means it was not detected cases even before January. Can you imagine how many undetected cases were here!!! China did not shut down international flights and lot of infected people were flying to all the countries because CCP did not care about Chinese as well other foreigners...
Either China is hiding the real numbers or it was a bio weapon. First corona case found in mid November 2019 First lockdown in China happened on Jan 23, 2020 This means virus had good 70 odd days to run totally wild There are 60-70 daily domestic flights from Wuhan to rest of China Rail and Road transportation was also open during these 70 days Why did the virus not spread with similar severity in other parts of China? While in the US, Italy, Spain it went totally out of control although in some regional patches US, Italy did make a mistake of NOT reacting fast enough by 30 days but virus had a free pass in China for 70 days The dog/cat eating commies need to answer lots of question and come up with some payments to the world
This is hypothetical. You say, mid November was the first case. As far as I know only at end of December there were a bunch of people that have been " tested " (if you can call it a test). By the way, you forget that the Chinese doctor, who is now dead and found out about the virus first, was not taken seriously by the administration / officials etc. And that administration did nothing about the virus for a long time. So: How China may have caused that pandemic knowingly?!?
That is all right. However Chinese government knew that for long time in advance and did not tell the truth to whole world. I remember Chernobyl it was the same story from communists to cover up the truth. And we all know how it ended.
LOL in your Pollyana world maybe. Haven't you learned yet... Government do NOT accept responsibility for any evils they do.
Please look up the internet to find out the first case. A doctor who noticed similar cases coming in number raised voice but was arrested and silenced until virus started going high gear, they they apologized to him and had international channels interview him. China sure did cover up to the best of its abilities.
Do not switch the subject.... Administration did not invent the virus in US and they did not hide the covid19 data. They lost the time as all European countries - never again. And if we are civilized people we should react and make sure it never happened again. It is a signal to the world and we did not react it will be more serious impacts in future.
