Rex Murphy: This is worth an emphasis. The Chinese dictatorship not only lies to the world, it punishes those of its own citizens who tell the truth. This is speech-corruption that even Orwell never contemplated.
The Chinese regime put the health of the world at risk. As a secondary consequence, its lies (the absolutely correct, even clinical term) and misdirections have wounded, to extremis, the economies of almost every country on the planet.
So let us ask again, can it be true that our Canadian government, finding itself without the most basic medical protective devices, would (a) go to the source of the plague for them, (b) have any confidence that what came under the consent of its Communist government could be relied upon, and (c) should be in some state of surprise that what was sent, over one million were — this is a soft word — defective?
