But it does! Japan's economy is also expected to be affected by the virus; I'm just showing that it has far less cushion than the Chinese economy although it will also be affected less. Why so testy? Just trying to help out, you know, be a good neighbor. You were trying to be a good neighbor too, right? You told me you're "afraid" there might be a small fire in my kitchen, so I said, "Thanks for the warning, neighbor! I'll return the favor and warn you that your whole house is on fire and has been dealing with a termite infestation since 30 years ago." Besides, global economy's all interconnected anyway you start talking about your neighbor's economy and your neighbor can bring up yours, especially when both can have the misfortune of being affected by the virus.
Sure, it's going to have an impact. Anyone with half a brain knows that. Indeed, I posted few weeks ago on this very thread that this virus is probably going to have a bigger economic impact than the Trade way Trump started! (Which proves how ineffective Trump's trade war has been)!
As of today, on CGTN news, both the OMG and the world bank thinks China can weathered this storm with minimal effect. The chair of IMF even said in public China add oil. Wuhan add oil!
Should have been IMF and not OMG. Sorry, damn auto correction!
How can this be fair competition?

Lands apart, shared sky”: Japan’s response to the coronavirus is winning unusual praise in China

After an official helping to handle the coronavirus outbreak was suspected of taking his own life, Chinese internet users mourned him by posting candle emojis.
But the official wasn’t in China. He was a 37-year-old bureaucrat in Japan who was tasked with looking after those who had been evacuated from Wuhan. The man was in Saitama prefecture on Feb. 1, near a dormitory where some of the Japanese nationals who had returned from China are staying.
“I really didn’t expect that the first government official to commit suicide would be Japanese,” (link in Chinese) on social network Weibo, echoing the widespread anger in China at the fact that no senior officials have expressed regret or been held accountable for their management of the epidemic. So far, only the and in Hubei province, at the epicenter of the outbreak, have been punished.
The outpouring of condolences for the Japanese official is part of the warmer treatment the country is receiving in China, where the government has been lashing out at foreign countries— at the US in particular—for measures restricting Chinese nationals from entering their borders. In contrast, praise for Japan has been common online in recent days—all the more unusual given the long history of animosity between the two countries stemming from Japan’s invasion of China in 1937.
In part, that’s because Japan’s response to China’s coronavirus crisis has been far more relaxed than many other nations. While the US and Australia have barred travelers coming from mainland China in the last 14 days, Tokyo has so far only imposed an on all foreigners who have been to Hubei province, as well as holders of Chinese passports issued in Hubei. Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe said today he .
The praise has come even as Abe became one of the rare world leaders to speak out about the need for Taiwan to be in the World Health Organization. Taiwan is because of objections by China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory.
Among the most widely circulated posts relating to Japan in China is one showing a photo of boxes of face masks said to be donations from a Chinese-language test center in Japan headed for Wuhan. One line of writing on a label attached to the boxes drew people’s attention. It read: 山川异域 风月同天 (shan chuan yi yu, feng yue tong tian), which roughly translates as “lands apart, shared sky.” The words are a line from Tō Daiwajō Tōseiden, a Japanese account of Chinese Buddhist monk travels in Japan in the 8th century. Jianzhen told his apprentices that this line was sewn onto robes given to him by a Japanese king who invited him to give lectures in the country. Moved by the king’s sincerity, he accepted the invitation.
武漢への日本支援物資に貼られた文字は中国で話題になっている。天宝元年、日本僧の栄叡と普照が鑑真のもとを訪れ、受戒システムがない日本仏教を救うために誰かを派遣してほしいと懇願したと同時に仏国を目指した長屋王が唐に贈った袈裟千枚の話を聞く。「山川異域、風月同天、寄諸仏子、共結来縁」。
Online, many people felt that the label was an expression of solidarity from Japan amid the coronavirus outbreak, though it’s unclear who put the label on the box.“The Japanese seemed to have a better understanding of the ancient poems than us Chinese. I almost feel I need to learn how to read ancient Chinese from them,” (link in Chinese) person in response to the news.
Internet users in China found other gestures by Japan to laud as well, including the (link in Japanese) from a retailer to the city of Chengdu, and from the city of Oita to its sister city Wuhan. (link in Chinese) #Japan sends 1 million face masks to aid Wuhan# has been viewed more than 500 million times on Weibo.
“I am in tears. This kindness from Japan looks even more precious in the face of the cold reaction toward China from some of my fellow countrymen,” (link in Chinese) in the comments of a post hashtagged #Japan will do its best to help China#. or Hubei province have found themselves the target of stigmatization and discrimination in China.
Many also used Japan’s coronavirus response as a way to criticize Taiwan, which has imposed on Chinese nationals and of face masks to China. “Japan behaved so much better than Taiwan this time,” one Weibo user said. “Those who hate Japan in an extreme way need to reflect on themselves.”
The new affection is perceptible in more official channels as well. While China’s foreign ministry singled out the US for not pledging any humanitarian assistance to China, in remarks made today China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying heaped praise on Japan, and said that “” (link in Chinese).
