Seems like a good place for this from the wsj:

Chinese officials and scientists provided their own extensive summaries and analysis of data on the cases, said the WHO team members. They also supplied aggregated data and analysis on retrospective searches through medical records in the months before the Wuhan outbreak was identified, saying that they had found no evidence of the virus.

But the WHO team wasn’t allowed to view the raw underlying data on those retrospective studies, which could allow them to conduct their own analysis on how early and how extensively the virus began to spread in China, the team members said. Member states typically provide such data—anonymized, but disaggregated so investigators can see all other relevant details on each case—as part of WHO investigations, said team members.

“They showed us a couple of examples, but that’s not the same as doing all of them, which is standard epidemiological investigation,” said Dominic Dwyer, an Australian microbiologist on the WHO team. “So then, you know, the interpretation of that data becomes more limited from our point of view, although the other side might see it as being quite good.”

China’s National Health Commission and foreign ministry didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Dax you are doing that thing again where you act like you know what everyone thinks and values.

btw are you going to celebrate our continued support of arms sales to Taiwan under Biden or does that hurt the narrative you are crafting
It’s early.  Plenty of time for the massive Chinese lobby on Kstreet to do work.

The refusal of the Chinese authorities to provide raw, personalized data on the 174 early Covid-19 cases, and on potential earlier cases such as pneumonia patients in the months before December 2019, led to heated discussions between the WHO team and their Chinese counterparts during the mission, said Dr. Dwyer.

“Sometimes emotions have run really high,” Thea Fischer, a Danish epidemiologist among the WHO investigators, said on Tuesday. “I am a scientist and I trust data. I trust documented evidence based on data, I don’t just trust what anyone tells me
.”

Congrats President Xi and the CCP (again) for releasing a debilitating virus on the world.

Massive pollution creator-China:

Nearly 75% of the world's lithium battery production-China (US-12%)

China:  Buying lithium mines in Bolivia and Australia (at this point, China basically owns everything important in that country)  Heavy metal and similar mining is so very very good for the environment.

Approximately 80% of the global supply of refined Cobalt:  Owned by China

iPOTUS Joe and his CIA nominee say they're going to give China the ol what for, we'll see.

Joe is just getting his ass kicked by the Chinese, but then again the Chinese have been grooming the Biden’s for years and have invested millions upon millions in the Biden’s.

You never have anything to see about your guy repeatedly getting his ass kicked.  So you resort to grammar.

It's cute.

On this basis, we can calmly and actively manage divergences with Washington to avoid a minor incident sparking a war. US hostility toward China is burning. We must use our strength, and consequences that Washington cannot afford to bear if it takes risky moves, to keep them sober.

The CCP mouthpiece publication also said the other day that Australia is weak and that Australia will be the first country China takes out when they eventually move to take Taiwan.

China is also reportedly searching for an Atlantic based warm naval port.   Likely in Africa (just as the U.S. moves back into the quagmire that Obama created in Libya).

China has maybe 15 more years in their current state before they crumble beneath their massive aging population.  They can buy all the gold they want.

Yep, on this they're definitely looking 15 years out.

Sounds like a case for Qatar/UAE/Bahrain China
