Extract from “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu:

“Therefore, one who is skilled in warfare principles subdues the enemy without doing battle, takes the enemy’s walled city without attacking, and overthrows the enemy quickly, without protracted warfare. His aim must be to take All-Under-Heaven intact. Therefore, weapons will not be blunted, and gains will be intact. These are the principles of planning attacks.”

This is exactly what the Chinese government has done. They deliberately suppressed the facts about this virus until it was all over the western world.
