Blame China? The truth is the international political system is designed to be adversarial and fueled by lack of trust. To expect China or any country to suddenly "de-rogue" is naive.
There are countries that have done quite well with Covid. Taiwan comes to mind. Others could have done similar. But instead those others put trust in a system of distrust; an unstable system that they actively contributed to and participated in. That's not on China's shoulders.
Furthermore. There were previous respiratory virus pandemics. Where were the lessons learned from that? The stockpile of masks? The stock pile of PPE?
I'm not suggesting China is innocent. But as governments go, it's not alone in its guilt.
