From early December 2019 to March 2020, in merely more than three months, the World has witnessed an epic spreading and destruction of the coronavirus which originated in Wuhan, China. The collapse of healthcare system and the economic consequences that follow have few modern equivalences. We are in a pivotal point of modern human history and the governance decisions we make today will leave wide ranging ripples across in economic, social and political life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to the tradeoff between security and freedom, many would choose the former especially in times of fear.\u00a0 The grand bargain of authoritarian regimes relies on the basis of this tradeoff: citizens will tolerate lesser freedoms, but will receive greater security against external threats, real or imagined. Both the Chinese and the Russians have claimed victories, or relative ones, and both celebrated their responses and outcomes as confirmation of their political superiority. A recent commentary in\u00a0Bloomberg<\/a>\u00a0suggested that the Chinese model of containment is superior to the democratic one.\u00a0 Another article by\u00a0CNN<\/a>\u00a0mused how Russia with a population of 146 million has less coronavirus cases than Luxembourg.\u00a0 Yet another article by CNN praised the\u00a0\u201csuccess of China\u2019s sweeping, top-down efforts to control the virus\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0A\u00a0National Review article<\/a>\u00a0concludes that \u201cfor the time being, China seems to be ahead in the geopolitical game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

China, Russia and Iran have also started to seed the rumors that it is the Americans (the enemy) who have planted the virus, and a few (presumably out of line) Chinese diplomats, ironically, used social media banned in China (Twitter) to spread this message globally.\u00a0 Any reference to a Chinese virus is a form of racism (although the Spanish Flu, West Nile virus, MERS and other diseases have been historically and rightly so referred to by the country or area of origin).\u00a0 Indeed the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s confidence appears to be at all time high: its relentless self-promotion has gone so far as from asking the Wuhan, Hubei people, who suffered the most from its coverup, to thank the party for saving them and the city, publishing a book entitled \u201cThe Great State\u2019s Disease War\u201d to sing Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party for their heroic and yet to come victory against the virus. Both Presidents Putin (Russia) and Xi (China) were proud to tout the results of having it under control, and the numbers presented support their claims.\u00a0 The CCP and its internet army has waged a propaganda war to showcase the world the superiority of the party in fighting the virus and its generous help to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are concerned with the false assumption that dictatorships provide a more effective response to crises, such as a novel virus.\u00a0 Dictatorships offer an inferior response to human safety, an area in which they are supposed to excel in relation to liberal democracies.\u00a0 The Achilles heel is that nobody believes the data coming out of China or Russia because data is routinely politicized, manipulated and controlled.\u00a0 The governance of authoritarian regimes distorts data and puts innocent lives at risk. A bigger danger might be that those outside believe that the approach of authoritarianism is superior and will, thus, endorse it (as the WHO has done) or worse, adopt it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the 2003 SARS outbreak in China, the CCP spent about $100 million to set up \u201cthe largest system in the world\u201d for a \u201cdirect-reporting network for infectious diseases and sudden public health events.<\/a>\u201d The party promised that using the system, any doctor at the lowest level may directly report signs of disease outbreak to the central government in real time. If that was true, then the late Dr. Li Wenliang, who was arrested for warning his family and friends about the virus and subsequently was killed by the virus, should have been able to use the system to directly alert the central government of the outbreak. Why did it not work that way?<\/span><\/p>\n

To answer this question, we need to get into the details on how the Chinese communist party (CCP) is founded and run. The party is founded on communists\u2019 conviction that they are the only one that knows the destiny of humankind, and they have the mission to lead humankind to reach that destiny\u2014communism. Unlike democracy in which officials are elected by voters, the legitimacy of the communist party\u2019s rule comes from the use of violent force and its always correctness, which requires it to censor all criticism and deprives people of their voting power. The central government appoints the heads of provinces, who in turn appoints the head of cities. In such a system, officials of every level only answer to the officials of upper levels. They all serve the most important goal of the party: keeping it in absolute power. To get promoted, an official must keep his\/her superior happy, only tells the boss good news, and suppresses anything, decisively, that may cause instability, such as outbreak of diseases. The fact that Dr. Li\u2019s reprimand for \u201cspreading rumors\u201d was broadcast on China Central TV shows that the central government was aware of his warning and ordered to silence him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because the CCP censors all and deletes any unflattering information, we do not know the whole truth behind the coverup. Limited reports show that when some doctors wanted to report the outbreak, their superiors warned them to be\u00a0\u201ccautious in reporting<\/a>\u201d. In the CCP\u2019s system, that warning is serious\u2014a subordinate not heeding to a warning from the superior could end up like the late Dr. Li.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a democracy, a locally elected official must responsible to the people who elected him\/her, or else lose his\/her job. Thus, if there is a new fast-spreading disease, he\/she must quickly react to protect his constituencies by letting the world know so that his people and region can get help. While democracies are not immune to complacency or incompetence, they do have one feature that authoritarians do not: accountability to the people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Latest bits of information leaked from China indicate that the CCP\u2019s effort to achieve\u00a0\u201czero cases\u201d<\/a>\u00a0may not be so successful as it claimed.\u00a0One report<\/a>\u2014which has been repeatedly deleted by the CCP and re-posted by ordinary people\u2014detailed a patient being rejected by several hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei (where the outbreak originated), in order for them to maintain their \u201czero cases\u201d records\u2014due to the pressure from the higherups for the propaganda purpose. Beijing and Shanghai, along with some other regions,\u00a0bar Hubei\/Wuhan people<\/a>\u00a0who are officially cleared of the virus, because the authorities of other regions know too well that the \u201czero cases\u201d claim by Hubei\/Wuhan is not true. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bad data from China has put others at risk as well, as no one actually knows exactly how many were tested, discovered, treated, died or healed, rendering the best of epidemiological models useless at best, misleading at worst. Russians\u2019 trust in their government is also low, with a history of lies, mismanagement and coverups: Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe (1986), HIV\/IDS epidemic (1980s), and now the coronavirus. One Russian doctor suggested that when Covid19 passes the border to Russia, it changes identify to the common flu, acute respiratory infection, or pneumonia.\u00a0 WHO said Russia is doing a good job, according to\u00a0CNN<\/a>. Sure enough, when they cover up information or shut down cities, authoritarians are decisive. The purpose: remain in power and protect the authoritarian\u2019s absolute rule at any costs.\u00a0 Anyone who dares to challenge can face the wrath of the government and the brainwashed masses it directs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Democracies, too, will chose health and wellbeing over economics, but with less of the political costs and less casualty in the price of personal freedom.\u00a0 There are no internet police who will threaten citizens and their families for posting their illness and seeking help.\u00a0 Regular police will not forcefully evacuate them from their homes or board them in.\u00a0 And, the government will not sacrifice the interest of the people to benefit its own propaganda.\u00a0 Most importantly, free media, who is protected by the law, will also criticize and put a check on the executive branch, in addition to the judges and the law makers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people in mature democracies listen to authoritarians, whose voice is broadcasted freely in our media, and express envy and preference for their political response.\u00a0 These people are victims of propaganda and misinformed influential parrots. When praising authoritarian responses to novel crises, think twice.\u00a0 What would be the cost to society if the surveillance state took over and our freedoms disappeared in the name of \u201csafety\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
