I went to school at Texas and lots of Chinese have been going there for a long time. A fair number of the American students are also commies/socialists there, too.Do you hate everybody who isn't white, heterosexual, and born in the US?
Yssup Rider went to school there and that proves we had gay people as well.
Thankfully, many conservative Jewish girls went there as well! Originally Posted by friendly fred

China is #2 in holding US debt. Japan, the UK, Brazil, and Ireland round out the top in that order for US debt. I don't think any of those other countries lose faith in the US for taking retribution actions against China.
It will be an interesting economic exercise should the US and other countries take such retribution against China. Originally Posted by eccielover

In fact the rest of the world might just help China retaliate by confiscating U.S. government assets located overseas. The idea that China's loss of $1.1 trillion in U.S. government bonds would lead them off a cliff into total financial meltdown is laughable. That's going to deprive them of what, about 20 or 30 billion a year in interest income? That's about 1% of their government revenues and 0.2% of their GDP.
....the next false equivalence is that by taking punitive action against China that it somehow erodes faith in US Gov bonds. you are implying Trump would do this for no reason. you may have heard of the pandemic .. right? so how is taking such an action unwarranted? eating about a trillion dollars or so might be just the push to send the Chicoms over the cliff and into total financial meltdown. if Trump accomplishes that he should get the Nobel prize and be enshrined on Mt.

“Have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the origin of this virus?” a reporter asked Trump at the White House after an event on senior citizens.
“Yes, I have. Yes, I have,” Trump replied, before going on to claim that the World Health Organization “should be ashamed of themselves, because they’re like the public relations agency for China.”
At the event, Trump was repeatedly pressed on the origins of the coronavirus. At one point, he told a reporter, “We’re going to see where it comes from.” He later said: “There’s a lot of theories. But yeah, we have people looking at it very, very strongly.”
When asked what gives him confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is where the virus originated, Trump demurred.
“I’m not allowed to tell you that,” he said.
Trump’s remarks come as the White House has increasingly sought to blame China for the pandemic and divert attention away from the Trump administration’s own missteps.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a statement earlier Thursday declaring that it “concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the covid-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.”
But it added that the intelligence community “will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”

The big reasons not to do this are what I mentioned previously. We'd be fucking ourselves over, not the Chinese.
How about calling a spade a spade Waco Kid. The majority of Americans don't approve of The Great Lord Trump's response to the coronavirus. So The Great Lord does what he always does, find someone else to blame. Originally Posted by Tiny

uh No.Of course China could have done things better. They shouldn't have censored their scientists and doctors early on. They should have been more transparent with the rest of the world. They should have encouraged international travel bans, like the one Trump placed on flights from China, instead of criticizing them.
you seem unwilling to accept the fact that China caused a global economic meltdown by trying to cover this shit up. and the WORLD is not happy.
do you think that China does NOT have any responsibility in this? try to justify that .. comrade.

Come to think of it, you could accuse Trump of the same. He censored his scientists and doctors, wasn't transparent, and didn't shut down travel out of NYC. Better to blame the Chinese though than to admit his fuck ups. The CDC, some of the governors and mayors, and a lot of other people and institutions should share the blame. But he thinks he'll get more political mileage out of pinning it all on the Chinese. Originally Posted by Tiny

I dozed off. I saw a 100 foot high Trump. There was fire in his eyes and his voice boomed. He told me "FUCK THE CHINA MAN." Then I awoke and I read your message. And at the same time I received a text from a friend. A text about the despicable Chinese. I have been reborn.

and once again .. let me make this very clear to you ..
