Minster goes all Trump on reporter for questioning Chinese data

[Argus]

Irwin Cotler points out just how culpable China is in the spreading of this disease across the world through its obsessive secrecy, cracking down on doctors and scientists, and its continuing lies and distortions about the true nature of the virus and its impact in China. And these are the people the Liberal party says must be believed.

There is authoritative and compelling evidence that if President Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had intervened and reported on its coronavirus outbreak three weeks earlier, transmission of COVID-19 could have been reduced significantly around the world. One study, from the University of Southampton, even suggested transmission could have been reduced by 95 per cent.

For 40 days, Mr. Xi’s CCP concealed, destroyed, falsified and fabricated information about the rampant spread of COVID-19 through its massive state-sanctioned surveillance and suppression of data; misrepresentation of information; silencing and criminalizing of dissent; and the disappearance of whistleblowers – all of which reflect the breadth of criminality and corruption in the party.

Obsessive government secrecy is certainly a big part of what left Earthlings everywhere sitting like a duck.  Why wouldn't any political party that obsesses over it secrecy trust another secretive government? It's how they roll.
