Look at this article at CNBC: China gets top score as citizens rank their governments’ response to the coronavirus outbreak
From it:
For funnsies, I took a look at the Press Freedom Index to see how the top countries from this virus response ranked there:
China: 177 (out of 180)
Vietnam: 175
UAE: 131
India: 142
Malaysia: 101
New Zealand: 9
Taiwan: 43
Philippines: 136
Indonesia: 119
Singapore: 158
From it:
China, where the virus is thought to have originated, ranked highest in the citizens’ survey, with a score of 85 out of 100. The world’s second-largest economy was followed by Vietnam (77), the United Arab Emirates (59) and India (59), in a list which saw Asian countries take the top spots.
New Zealand (56), which has received international acclaim for its handling of the virus and last week began easing restrictions, was the only Western country to score higher than the global average of 45. Australia (43), the U.S. (41), and all four western European countries surveyed — Germany (41), the U.K. (37), Italy (36) and France (26) — all ranked below the global average.
