The Chinese Communist Party's secretive handling of the coronavirus could lead to its collapse in the same way that the Chernobyl nuclear disaster contributed to the Soviet Union's demise, an expert on China said Friday.
The secrecy surrounding the 1986 disaster led to the failure of the Soviet Union within a half decade, he noted.
"Maybe we're starting to see the same dynamic now," he said. "But the Communist Party certainly is weakened, and it's fighting to keep itself in place."

That's just silly. Unless the politbureau itself was killed off by the virus, or 70% of their security forces, they will be just fine. And this virus is showing nowhere near virulent enough to kill a million Chinese. Or as Mao once told Nixon after nixon demanded the chinese open their borders to let dissidents out, "how many million peasants would you like"? Americans just don't understand what a BILLION people looks like.
