What is China hiding by its lockdown?

In December, China reported the first cases of humans infected with a new type of coronavirus in Wuhan  city, which has since been named Novel coronavirus or 2019-nCoV. Till today, about 10,000 cases and 213 deaths have been confirmed. Coronaviruses cause potentially deadly diseases in mammals and birds and infect humans when they mutate. Previous epidemics were called severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, and Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS. Although the source has never been confirmed the SARS virus was thought to originate in civets which are sold in China's exotic animal markets to satisfy Chinese inclination to eat every living thing on the planet. China banned sale of live animals at Wuhan. "The move comes after the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan was shuttered on January 1, after it was believed to be the starting point for the outbreak of 2019-nCoV, also known as the Wuhan virus. Before its closure, the market was selling an array of unusual animals for food, including young wolves and civet cats, which experts believe could play a part in the spread of disease." Live baby mice are considered a delicacy in China and the dish is called 'Three Squeaks' because the mouse squeaks three times before dying. It is speculated that this particular virus originated in bats, which are immune to a large number of viruses, or in snakes which eat bats, because the Chinese eat both bats and snakes. China moved swiftly to contain the outbreak by putting Wuhan in quarantine and then extended the lockdown to at least 16 other cities. China is also constructing prefabricated hospitals within days at Wuhan to house thousands of patients. The World Health Organisation (WHO) praised China's response to the outbreak and did not declare a global emergency for as long as possible, to please China. It has since declared an international health emergency almost apologetically while lauding China's "extraordinary measures".  Chinese President Xi Jinping called it a "devil" virus and expressed confidence in defeating it. But Communists do not believe in religion, or the devil. To stop celebration of Christmas Chinese police go around breaking churches and arresting priests. Over a million Muslim Uyghurs are in prison camps where they are being indoctrinated to forget their religion and their language. Half a million Uyghur children have been forcibly separated from parents and held in state-run schools to teach them a new identity. Except Pakistan, China is feared and hated by its neighbors. Former Philippines President Aquino compared China to Nazi Germany and China is India's mortal enemy. So are the "extraordinary measure" adopted by China to protect the rest of the world by containing it within the country's borders? Knowing China's conduct in the recent past that is impossible to believe. The lockdown is to hide the true extent of the epidemic. The epidemic must have infected millions within China and killed tens of thousands prompting Xi to call it a "devil" virus. The lockdown is to prevent foreign journalists from entering the affected areas and recording the truth. It is time the world accepts that new epidemics will continue to originate in China because of their eating habits and shun the country completely. There will be no profits if people are wiped out. Greed for food, greed for money. Bad.
