Three words have made it essentially unchanged from Chinese to English:

Kaolin, a fine very pure alumina clay used to make, well, china.

Gungho, pull together, or enthusiasm.

and

Kowtow, the act of deep respect shown by prostration, that is, kneeling and bowing so low as to have one’s head touching the ground. In East Asian culture, the kowtow is the highest sign of reverence.

When it comes to China, you seem to personify the last two.

you guys expect me to remember a thread from yesterday??

I don’t remember what I had for lunch today :)

We can or at least should all agree that China is a nefarious country right now with an ideology and agenda that simply CANNOT be brought to complete fruition while America (and Trump) exists.

Cute... I am not sure how it ties in with your belief that novel coronavirus is a “bioweapon”.

China restricted travel within its own country but allowed nonstop direct flights with infected people from Wuhan to SeaTac where we live. People coming here just diverted to Vancouver BC and crossed from Canada to the USA without disruption after the Trump travel ban. This disgusting lack of care about spreading this pathogen says everything that we need to know about how China views the rest of the world.
