COVID-19 was in fact declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, as the article mentions under the "Clear grounds for PHEIC determination" heading.
But where’s the “China drives” post? You can also declare this an emergency. No problem with that.
“The international community is mobilizing to deal with a public health emergency spreading from the US and other countries”
There, nice and simple. Otherwise, if you treat China better than us expect us to behave like China to you.
