Guess it's a convenient narrative for the Chinese to actually provide information about new Covid outbreaks because this one came from Singapore. 

This will not change. China was the first to report it. It started from Wuhan regardless of how they feel about it which is moot anyway: made in China. That said, the US has (not) done more to spread (contain) the virus than any other nation by the sheer number of cases and deaths.

Yeah so we have hygienism and hysteria combined with China authoritarianism and dictatorship, what can go possibly wrong?

There is definitely a bit of hysteria or being super-vigilant. China is a one-party authoritarian rule with elements of democracy. The system is like Japan; elections are held locally and the elected choose the party leader. Like Japan, it is basically a one-party system.

A top down authoritarian government that can act swiftly and decisively is better in fighting a pandemic for it is impervious to upcoming elections and whether votes from the anti-mask mass are needed or not.

Southern Chinese cities closed schools and ordered testing for millions on Tuesday in a race to curb a new COVID-19 outbreak

Millions tested on Tuesday, a single day. Tokyo has only tested 3.4 million total, up until Sep 12th. They are quick to hammer it down into submission. This is the modus operandi to this day.

Don't feel sorry for the Chinese - they (the CCP) unleashed this virus on purpose upon us all.

Yeah so we have hygienism and hysteria combined with China authoritarianism and dictatorship, what can go possibly wrong? Well a brutal and criminal regime given even more power for the sake of the called "zero-COVID".

The Chinese embassy in Singapore on Monday warned its citizens to be "cautious" about traveling to the Southeast Asian country and "be psychologically and economically prepared" for difficulties re-entering China.

Guess it's a convenient narrative for the Chinese to actually provide information about new Covid outbreaks because this one came from Singapore. Patient zero, the works. The "It came from outside China" angle. Perfectamundo.
