I don't know that much about chinese politics. I can tell you about the French reaction is you like, or I can tell you about something different:

When you have an epidemic in farm animals, you first isolate them into as small groups as possible. Then you see which groups are infected and kill the lot (if they are cheap like chickens), or else try to cure them (if they are expensive like cattle). Then you quarantine the survivors before letting them mix with the other groups.

If you don't care about the welfare of your animals, their civil rights or social needs, this is the most effective way of eradicating an epidemic. Even even very minor epidemics can be handled this way, if it's convenient to do so.

There are no politics in china because it is a totalitarian single party state, everything that happens there is an expression of raw power determined in backroom deals.

Politics is of necessity public, when there are no public debates about real power, that is when you have a dictatorship.

You did not answer my questions though, the videos of people collapsing and welding doors shut are not politics, that is just a news report, did you believe them or not?

And if you believe them why did this not happen anywhere else?

I cannot do your research and thinking for you.

I can however give you a tip because I am nice, Jennifer Zeng at Epoch Times has a twitter that posted numerous such videos from wuhan in march.

But if you have to ask, that is a sign your methods for getting information are not working very well, so you may want to work on that.

4chan /pol and r/conspiracy have information, but you have to do the work of sorting through all the disinfo.

The ratio is about 99:1, but the payoff is reality.
