<A couple of millions of Chinese die every year of all kinds of disease. So which one should have much higher priority, and which one is not? after all, the resource is limited >

Yiwu, one year of a virulent species-jumped chicken flu would kill maybe 20% of the population. Possibly 30%. Or, in the world's biggest catastrophe, 40%. That would be [at 20%] about 100 million people. Even China would notice if that many went missing.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, if China goes down in droves, we will too. Hence the interest.

Henry Niman isn't out to denigrate China. Get a grip.

You see things as some competition between China and the rest. But you don't have a clue what's going on, thinking that antibiotics in the West causes a viral problem in the East. Maybe your wonky thinking is the same polluted thinking that goes on in China.

How to have a debate in Yiwu's China.

"I think that such and such".
