The reckoning
The American Legion ^ | April 21, 2020 | Alan W. Dowd

The COVID-19 crisis proves what many of us have argued for decades: China’s internal political system is an international problem. Like other communist governments, the PRC is an ends-justify-the-means regime that has contempt for the individual at home and disdain for norms of behavior abroad. In the aftermath of COVID-19, much of the world is finally waking up to this reality.

This awakening and consequent reckoning could have a dramatic impact on China.

I don’t think whatever way this virus started to spread was planned.

But I do think every step taken by China once it started spreading has been sinister.

A lot of people, mediocre people who have been elected to positions of power over American citizens, are also facing a reckoning ... a reckoning they don’t realize is coming directly at them like a slowly accelerating freight train.

And young people should clearly understand that what AOC is advocating is the US turned into China . . . and the notion is brain-dead foolish!!!!

“the PRC is an ends-justify-the-means regime that has contempt for the individual at home”

How is that different from the Democrat party?

The PRC totally runs a huge State.

The Democrat Party only almost runs a not so huge State.

I’ll bet you’re in a minority opinion.

I give the targeting experts in China an “A-Prus”. America has clearly been most drastically hit.

I don’t think something like this can be “aimed”, but I’ll give China credit for getting the most out of it.

Thank God Trump stopped the flights of Chinese “tourists” to Mount Rushmore.

I still say a concerted effort on all Americans to read the labels of things they purchase, where it comes from, where it is packaged, where is it distributed from. The “made in china” label will be dirt and the american people alone will be the ones who did it, no politician, no law makers, no experts, will be able to stop it. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AMERICA, BUY AMERICAN
