What's the chance that the PRC Govt show some moral backbone and honor his efforts. He will have helped save a lot of lives of his compatriots.
They may well do that, but I doubt it will because of moral backbone. The Chinese public is furious about the treatment by the authorities of the eight docs who tried to warn about the coronavirus and even state-sponsored media have been openly critical in the past few days. The Chinese government is authoritarian, but that doesn't mean it can ignore public opinion and it knows that perfectly well.
