Belgium has more deaths than China?

**Foxx** · 04-12-20, 11:56 PM

Probably because all the chocolate and waffles they eat. It’s not good for the immune system.

**Enkhbat** · 04-13-20, 12:03 AM

Chinese numbers are fake.

**19th Hole** · 04-13-20, 12:20 AM

In other relevant news...Belgium has more breweries (224) than China (178).

**Kermit** · 04-13-20, 12:45 AM

China has at least 50k deaths.

“Europe is a bit of a battle ground”

It’s not just coronavirus.
Experts say Chinese diplomacy has gotten more assertive—and in some cases, aggressive—in the past year, especially in Europe, where China is facing competition from an increasingly antagonistic United States.
Kerry Brown, director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College and former first secretary at the British Embassy in Beijing, said that Europe has become a “battleground” between the US and China. “China feels that it’s got to proactively and assertively put its position out there,” he said, especially on hot-button issues like Huawei and 5G technology.
But this approach has led to tensions. Chinese diplomats have sparked diplomatic crises in Sweden and Czechia. Meanwhile positive views of China among Europeans have fallen precipitously, and last year, the EU declared in a strategic communication (pdf) document that China is a “systemic rival promoting alternative models of governance.”
These diplomatic incidents are all the more important for their timing: 2020 is pivotal for the future of the EU-China relationship, with key agreements set to be signed by the end of the year. But Brown believes that Chinese diplomats will continue to pursue this kind of confrontational strategy in European countries because he sees instructions to do so as coming from the very top of China’s government.
“Chinese ambassadors are going to get career recognition for reporting back home that you have strongly asserted China’s interests,” Brown said. “The problem is of course, that in the bigger diplomatic context, it probably doesn’t really help.”

I think it has been well established that the Chinese crematories are running at full capacity which proves that the death numbers coming out of china are way off.

**cankid** · 04-13-20, 02:43 AM

especially since they saw a spike as early as late November in Wuhan area hospitals, way before they reported anything

**MinnesotaFats** · 04-13-20, 07:25 AM

Just another case study in why an independent and fair national media is important.

State controlled media or biased media doesn't serve any public good.

Take note, CNN and MSNBC not much different than Chinese media in their ideology towards centralized control of populous

**Alfa1234** · 04-13-20, 07:30 AM

Belgium counts all deaths including nursery home deaths where people were "probably infected with covid but not tested". It inflates the numbers greatly compared to some other countries where only 100% tested and confirmed deaths are counted.

**slayer14** · 04-13-20, 08:01 AM

2nd wave of virus?

**homie1975** · 04-13-20, 08:25 AM

of course 'JINA is blaming imports for the second wave

bunch of lying bastards.

**Hushie** · 04-13-20, 08:27 AM

China's reporting of this shit is as fake as their knock off iPhone's and purses.

Surprisingly, there's not a single thread dedicated to Chinese conspiracy in spreading this virus worldwide!!
I don't think you guys have yet come to terms to realise the real culprit of this mess..
Everybody busy on this forum counting deads and odds of when sports will restart.. sad..

I post a news article about rumours that there at least 50000 dead in China from the virus and it got deleted

except when they say we will take over the world without firing a shot. it may take a couple of decades but they will succeed.

**floridagolfer** · 04-13-20, 09:22 AM

I don't think any of the numbers out there are especially accurate. From what I read over the weekend, if I have the virus but I die by getting hit by a bus, that's a COVID-related death. So, as they say, don't believe everything you read.

**JIBBBY** · 04-13-20, 09:32 AM

China needs to be punished.. Bad player.. European Nations needs to stop sucking up to them..

**Wrongside** · 04-13-20, 11:41 AM

It is sad how China is behaving...This is very racist of them

Chinese Ban Black People from Hotels, Apartments, Restaurants

Africans in Guangzhou, China, were evicted, banned from hotels and restaurants, and rampantly discriminated against.

China is lying about all of their numbers, their numbers are much worse than reported. US is also minimizing it's numbers.

I agree I don't think the world likes China right about now.. Still we kiss up to them for trade though still.. Deep down no one will ever trust them again, not that we ever did to begin with..
