Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow Hoover Institution, says China has ruined their 'international brand' and the worldwide opinion about China has changed due to coronavirus

Hoover Institution Fellow Victor Davis Hanson said on Wednesday that China’s handling of the coronavirus “ruined their international brand,” having potential serious repercussions on its economy as foreign companies may exit.

“[China] knew that that virus was not only epidemic but infectious and could be deadly to older people. They didn’t tell anybody. They didn’t tell us. In fact, they did something far worse -- they accused us of causing it and then they threatened to cut off supplies of medical needs and pharmaceuticals,” Hanson told “The Brian Kilmeade Show,” noting the thousands of Chinese tourists coming into the U.S.

Hanson said that China’s actions will lead to “key industries” moving out of the country.

"You think if you’re Italy or Switzerland or Germany or Australia, you really want to have your antibiotics produced in China when this is all over? If you’re a tourist and you went to China and somebody said there’s a virus contained but don’t worry, it’s contained --would you believe that?”

Hanson said that there is going to be a widespread shift in public opinion about China.

“Anybody in their right mind would know that the existential threat is China.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
