There is a whole body of text in the OP with a story and multiple players and context that you guys completely overlook. Because Trump. And you do, by your blind rage and refusal to look past Trump, allow yourself to overlook serious issues and play right into Chinas hands. I know you guys dont like getting called out on it, its true. As usual you're talking from your own perspective on other posters, not from the posts made or positions other posters have. Time for you to listen to Flakes from Zappa btw. And no, quality has not improved. Edited May 15, 2020 by stevenl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post scorecard Posted May 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2020 1 minute ago, CrunchWrapSupreme said: Trump has Huawei and ZTE phones banned, as these companies are partially owned by the Chinese govt, and thus he claims their stuff to all be spying on us. Yet he seems to forget they also make iPhones, and 99% of the junk in Walmart, which could easily be doing the same. And perhaps hidden microphones and trackers secretly embedded in his daughters handbags and shoes, reporting data back to beijing continuously. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell17au Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Why has Trump failed to disclose that his administration had stopped the funding in 2019 to the American coronavirus research lab that is located in Wuhan, China which was set up in 2014 and fully funded since then by the American government and run by Dr Peter Daszak of Ecohealth Alliance Inc based in New York in America. Was the stopping of the funding the cause of the escape of this virus from an AMERICAN lab in Wuhan, China? Has this pandemic been caused by AMERICA? Here is a link that shows an indisputable link to this coronavirus and the American lab. https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_details.cfm?aid=8674931&icde=49588715 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump impulsive instinctive style will not help him re-balance (not win) trade with China. China is more pragmatic, more patient and willing to play the long game. They simply deflect whatever the situation, throw out a carrot and have Trump think he is in a position of strength and then China deflect off to the side and pull the same stunt again and again. Trump got played because he is acting alone and not getting proper consultation from his hawkish ministers and allies. China know Trump's time in office is limited; whether 4 or 8 years is of no consequence to them. Trump is dumber in trade negotiation than he try to make you and his supporters believe. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember who initialized this Wuhan Flu <deleted>, eh? "US intelligence officials warned President Donald Trump about the threat of the novel coronavirus in at least a dozen classified briefings in January and February, " But Trump failed to register the threat. And instead: 15 times Trump praised China as coronavirus was spreading across the globe: Jan. 22 to Feb. 29 “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!” “China seems to be making tremendous progress. Their numbers are way down. … I think our relationship with China is very good. We just did a big trade deal. We’re starting on another trade deal with China — a very big one.

Those who commented were not championing China but felt that his aggressive and antagonistic nationalism framing of his words will encourage and lead to racist actions by those disinhibited by the President's rhetoric and dog whistle. He is framing this as 'us vs them' and dangerously personalized a global situation. Of course most know that he is simply diverting attention from his mishandling of the pandemic. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
