(As a side note, whenever someone opens with “I am not X, but…” my brain automatically finishes that with “…I totally am X.” You might want to work on that.)
I am not a Sinophobe (many know that well here), but I really have trouble believing that there are merely 100K cases among 1.4B people, unless they literally locked people away in their homes. 100K is 0.071% for such a colossal population size.
I am having trouble picturing how China could have only 100K cases among 1.4B people. A 0.071% case rate is just too low for me to fathom it happening unless they literally locked people away in their homes.
That would have been a better start. That whole ‘I am not X’ construct has been poisoned by literally centuries of bad-faith use of it. Don’t use it.
I didn’t think you were an actual Sinophobe which is why I put it as a side note and addressed your points directly. (Had I thought of you as a Sinophobe I’d likely have just made fun of you. I’m just oh so weary of those motherfuckers.)
