Did coronavirus come from China?
Yes.
Did it expand globally because the Chinese govt covered it up for a month?
Yes.
Does China produce most of US medical supply chain?
Yes.
Is it wise to antagonize China in the middle of this crisis?
Are you fucking kidding me.

You don’t need an authoritarian state to fight coronavirus effectively.
Germany, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan are doing very well.
You need a government that prioritizes science and expertise. And a population that considers their authority legitimate.
