China Lied About Danger of Wuhan Flu So They Could Secretly Purchase Medical Supplies From Around the World and Hoard Them

U.S. officials believe China covered up the extent of the coronavirus outbreak -- and how contagious the disease is -- to stock up on medical supplies needed to respond to it, intelligence documents show.

Chinese leaders "intentionally concealed the severity" of the pandemic from the world in early January, according to a four-page Department of Homeland Security intelligence report dated May 1 and obtained by The Associated Press. The revelation comes as the Trump administration has intensified its criticism of China, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying Sunday that that country was responsible for the spread of disease and must be held accountable.

As Bonchie puts it:

In other words, China let the world burn for almost a month to try to save themselves. That's the country the WHO and many American media companies have chosen to side with routinely. That’s the country some like Bill Gates are claiming did a good job early on with the virus. All so they can snipe at the orange man.

Update: I'm sure Joey Fingers will be tough on China, huh?

Pompeo also says there is "enormous evidence" that the Wuhan flu escaped from the Tier 4 biohazard lab at Wuhan, not from the wet market.
