Be interested in knowing how the 10 million in Wuhan fared


According to the next Chinese census, Wuhan has always had 4.5 million people.

I personally think the Chinese are full of it, I’m just looking for more evidence and remember the satellite photos. The same time that the people left Wuhan for the Chinese New Year they didn’t just fly to Italy and other top worldwide tourist destinations, they visited relatives throughout China. For China to say they have no infections now would be the medical miracle to end all medical miracles.

My concern is with America in a weakened state, will our enemies try something? Or try something in a few weeks?

I am sure that the smart people in our government are considering this possibility.

Also, it couldn't have played out better if they had planned it — sacrifice a few of your own people as a way to cover the premeditated attack that destroys the US economy so that you have plausible deniability. Without a functioning US economy, America is vulnerable.

But one thing about America is that we are motivated.

The Asian culture has a very competitive streak. Look at how Asian kids here in the U.S. view school. Their parents drive them to work hard and succeed far more than the average American family does. Why? Is it genetic, cultural, or both?

My daughter plays piano at a very high level for her age (teenager). We go to competitive invitation only recitals and 50% or more of the kids are Asian and many of them are half her age playing difficult pieces beautifully. Why?

Because they are forced to practice for hours each day. Most kids get hours of screen-time each day in the U.S., but these kids are practicing piano or studying instead of watching youtube or playing videogames. Do their parents have contempt for other parents who do not push their kids as hard? I don’t know, but I imagine some do to some extent. They are nice and polite people and I don’t condemn them for pushing their children to succeed, but they are undeniably hyper-competitive and they work very hard.

We were an ally of China in WWII. In fact, we saved China by defeating their arch-enemy - Japan. However, that changed when China became a communist nation. The state is above everything in China and in light of this cultural bias as well as the necessity of showing that their brand of communism is superior, we are in a state of permanent opposition.

China will never be our friend because the supremacy of individual rights (our constitution) is the most dangerous concept for their state run society (communism). Our brand of capitalism cannot be seen as superior to their brand of state run “capitalism.”

This is the same juxtaposition we see with a strict practice of Islam vs the bill of rights and our laws. They can never coexist no matter how many bumper stickers we put on Subarus and electric cars.

Soup du jour. Bat soup. Hope everyone in the restaurant orders it and heads straight to the hospital where their government will shoot them and roll them out the back door to the crematorium.

China is going to walk out of this as an international pariah.

Yes, I saw that! They also had teams of stormtroopers hosing down the area with alcohol before Xi came through.

Boycott China.
For real, this time.
Cut off all trade and cancel our debt with China.

And no, not just because of a sign.

How can we return the favor? We’ll find a way.

“So? Seaports are why.”

I’m not so sure, because there are a lot of other ports in the country and the states where those ports are located do not show such numbers.

I love it. This will make wonderful ammunition for shutting down trade with China. Anybody opposed to ever higher tariffs and more restrictions can be beaten over the head with this.
