US authorities are now firing an opening salvo at China, claiming that the county misinformed the rest of the world about the severity of covid-19. And that better information would have spurred other nations to take the threat more seriously.
That would perhaps make sense if it weren't such a crock of baloney.
Anyone paying attention (like we here at PeakProsperity.com) could see sufficient signs by late January that the virus was extremely contagious, deadly, and had overwhelmed China's attempts to contain it. And yet US, and CDC officials continued to downplay its risks into early March.
And, c'mon. Who believes official Chinese reports about *anything*, let alone something as potentially disruptive as a brewing pandemic?
After all, we've spent many trillions amassing the largest security state in world history -- you'd think that investment might actually get us some accurate "intelligence". I guess not.
In today's video, Chris explains why this blame game is both farcical and dangerous.
Remember all those warm fuzzies we were sold throughout 2019 about the great benefits of the coming China Trade Deal? Kiss those good-bye.
In a future that will surely put continued globalization into question, slinging blame, especially when there is so much culpability on our own end, will only increase the odds that China morphs from trading partner into global adversary.
The stakes in this blame game are high, and we play it at our peril.
The point is now we know not to be so dependent on China.
We sold them the rope they will hang us with.
“Then shut up.”
No. This guy is an idiot.

Currently there are 347,000 people who subscribe to his channel and over 180,000 have viewed the video in question, only in the last 18 hours.
Instead of just spouting off, "he's an idiot", and storming off, why don't you select at least one point and explain the idiocy of his position on the matter - that's what a knowledgeable person, who wants to be taken seriously, would do.
Just sayin'...
“why don’t you select at least one point..”
I selected two. He’s in error in the first two paragraphs. He’s either lazy or dishonest.
I’m going with Option B.

Obviously, since you’re not going to invest more than a moment of your time to explain your position in any detail beyond one or two utterances, I trust you will understand why I’m writing you off as a less than serious individual, lacking of any knowledge pertinent to this discussion, and I presume the same can be said of your knowledge of many other subjects as well.
That'd be you, L.
“ US authorities are now firing an opening salvo at China, claiming that the county misinformed the rest of the world about the severity of covid-19”
It’s not a claim. It’s a fact

“And yet US, and CDC officials continued to downplay its risks into early March.”
Another load of crap. President Trump mentioned it in his SOTU address in January.
This guy is a dishonest hack.
L
The CDC part, I believe.
They are useless.
He goes on to explain, and offers proof in the video, that he knew that the Chinese were lying, way back when, from his own research using only a $100+ (I forget the exact dollar amount Chris quoted) internet connection.
The overwhelming evidence points to our government failed the American people at the onset of the Coronavirus outbreak. The excuse that they were lead into complacency because the "the Chinese lied", is a poor excuse, not up to the levels of what some preteen could think up.
Any adult who excepts that excuse in light of the thousands dying in America is an idiot. Mark my words, this is the Democrat camel's nose under the tent and POTUS better stomp some noses if he doesn't want his/our administration's tent trampled to dust.
And fire every SOB who said masks don't work...or dragged their feet in approving the HCQ cocktail.
Precisely
Ah.... thanks for clarifying
Tough times for all
Indeed FRiend.
