The more China steps in to take advantage of this crisis they created, the more it looks like their creation wasn't an accidental one.

A reasonable response would be to declare that the losses incurred due to this virus are billed to china and their assets in the USA and other countries will be seized and sold off, the proceeds going to some sort of relief fund for citizens. That would smart right strong. But instead they are going to take more of a death grip over our infrastructure and industries.

Watching the press beating yesterday, I would bet that the US government, under president Trump is already moving to hold China accountable.

The administration is wise to hold its fire on just how accountability from China will be demanded.
China knows it’s coming.

Of course, that could lead to a massive war but at least oil is dirt cheap and we have lots and they have none. Which would help. So there’s that.

“and their assets in the USA “

I bet we have 1000 times of assets in China than they do in the US. There are still 1000’s of US companies doing business in China. Buildings, assembly lines, proprietory equipment

GERMANY has rattled China after joining the UK, France and the US in a rare attack, after Berlin called out Beijing's responsibility for the global pandemic and even issued a £130bn invoice.

Hope you don’t mind if I steal it occasionally

I guess they’d have to rebuild here then. I’m not in favor of kissing Chinese posterior no matter what they do as a matter of national policy just because US companies chose to take advantage of their cheap slave labor. Quite the opposite, actually.

China needs to be shunned on all fronts. Her behavior is reprehensible, to say nothing of unacceptable.

I always called the zer0 the OBUNGHOLE, just seemed to match his proclivities.

And I agree 100% on your HR designation.
