Wuhan hosted executives from dozens of multinationals, from Panasonic to Dow and Nokia, on a highly choreographed tour of the central Chinese city."There are few places in the world today where you don't need a mask and can gather," a Chinese official, Lin Songtian, told the executives, implying that Wuhan was one of those places."This testifies to Wuhan's triumph over the virus and that (the city) is back in business."Lost in this retelling, however, is that a wet market in Wuhan is widely believed to be ground zero for the pandemic.China's foreign minister suggested on August 28 during a European outreach trip that the virus might not have emerged in China.The drive indicates China recognises Covid-19's damage to its brand and wants to.
