Li's fate offers a glimpse of the Chinese Communist Party's systematic mishandling of the initial outbreak, which has now drawn the attention of multiple governments.
Australian prime minister Scott Morrison has expressed his support for an independent investigation, echoing calls by President Donald Trump for closer scrutiny of the Chinese response.
Arbitrary revisions, such as increasing the Wuhan death toll by 50 percent on April 17, don't inspire confidence in Chinese case reporting.
China abandoned any moral and ethical obligation to the rest of the world, putting an end to optimistic illusions that the People's Republic had internalized and adopted the norms of civilized nations.
In a world of affordable global air travel, interlinked supply chains, and complex economic interdependencies, most of us live less than 18 hours from any pathogen in the world.
Overcrowded mass-casualty hospitals with leaking pipes, a lack of suitable health-care personnel, and the government-enforced promotion of unscientific therapeutic approaches from "Traditional Chinese medicine" are just some of the ways in which the Communist Party has wronged the Chinese population.
Rejecting openness in favor of protecting the reputation of the world's last stronghold of old-school Communism, China has chosen ideology over science-betting the lives of its own people, and of the world, as a result.
