Brucellosis in China: one more oversight in health.

A new bacterial outbreak in China signals a problem in its policies. Everything indicates that the bio-security regulations of this country leave much to be desired. Management to contain the virus that caused the current crisis was negligent. The United States claims to have proof that China used the WHO to allow the virus to spread.

In any case, nothing exempts the Chinese government from implementing strict bio-security measures in their country. Even more so, when it comes to an economic power that maintains relations with all the continents of the world. The United States, for its part, has announced that it will sanction China for allowing the spread of the coronavirus. Will this mean a new change for the culture of the Asian giant?
