China's Iron Fist is Turning the Coronavirus Into an Economic Disaster

Chinese President Xi Jinping, inspects the novel coronavirus pneumonia prevention and control work in Beijing, capital of China, on Feb. 10, 2020.

This year began with the explosion of the coronavirus crisis in Wuhan, a health disaster caused by China's indifference to the basics of civil sanitation and hygiene.

Xi's brutal rise to sole power in China is nothing if not a display of massive insecurity.

The result of Xi's dictatorship has been a concentration of power at the top that has paralyzed China.

The dysfunction of Chinese governance was illustrated recently by the tragic death of physician Li Wenliang, who was silenced by the police after warning about the new coronavirus that has killed hundreds in China and sickened thousands.

Xi spoke of a heroic fight against the "Demon" virus, even though the biggest struggle in China today is against communist misrule.

While the coronavirus is a significant health threat to China and the world, the bigger danger is that the CCP under Xi Jinping has adopted a reactionary stance in the face of growing demands for freedom in China.
