@fauxlaw

That is very fair. For the longest time I refused to assign points on abortion debates, due to the strength of my bias.

@fauxlaw

thanks anyway

Normally, I would vote on this debate, but I'm afraid my extensive experience in the PRC precludes an objective voting platform on my part. I am too personally aware of the corruption in the Chinese media and its government to believe anything that either institution says. Further, understanding that Con may have no experience other than reading the media and government reports from China, and those outside China in support of China, including WHO, I would be inclined to reject all Con sourcing, and, therefore, arguments. Therefore, I am not voting in this debate. My apologies.

@Crocodile

really nice format in R1. I like the way you to keep re-applying the format in future rounds, even when your opponent doesn't follow it, even if you have to do a little shoe-horning to make it work. It makes following chains of counter-arguments that much easier to follow

US isn't any better than China. I think South Korea and Taiwan's response should be models for all.

@Crocodile

What's funny is that in Chinese sources they think the US is spreading lies. Your logic means jail for China. I am not advocating that, but I think many of your points are flawed. US media isn't any better than China's.

I await your response. Good luck!

@User_2006

I respect your opinion, but I whole heartedly disagree. I'm almost done my argument and should have it ready it a couple of hours.

I am Chinese and I strongly disagree. What do you expect, China completely exterminating the virus?
