It's so weird watching you guys come up with reasons why cooperating with the world about a new disease is actually bad.

I'm not defending them, but maybe you could name some reasons why cooperating benefits them?

I'm not arguing it wouldn't be good if they cooperated, but just genuinely interested in what the perceived benefits would be to them?

Possibly people would over time stop treating them like enemies, if they actually behaved like allies. The whole world is (very slowly) moving away from any dependence on China.

If they actually cooperated with the rest of the world instead of trying to take advantage of it while slowly planning how to take over Asia, they'd have it easier.

You don't ask China about novel diseases, just like you don't ask about war-crimes US and it's vassal state commits. Their populace or anyone under the influence of their propaganda gets mighty defensive about it.
