(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) is demanding reparations from China for putting the United States through the adverse health effects and financial fallout from coronavirus.
"I've heard from colleagues on both sides of the aisle who are ready to engage in the same fight that I've been fighting now for several months, to hold China accountable for their bad behavior," Banks told Fox News's Tucker Carlson Monday night.
We need to start by forcing China to pay the burden and the cost incurred on the United States of America due to the coronavirus. I think there are many ways that we could do that.
The president could force China to relieve a great amount of American debt. He could institute tariffs on China and designate the funds from that into a coronavirus victim relief fund to pay the cost incurred on Americans and American taxpayers due to the negligence on China's behalf that's led to the crisis in America today.

Mexico was going to pay for the wall.
ABSOLUTELY!!!! Make them pay!!!
And send their journalists back. One who worked for some Chinese tv station had a fever and was trying to get in at WH press conference. Are they trying to infect our President because of the tariff deal?
Great idea, but China is busy going broke.
all the politicians who are taking ChiCom money (e.g. Feinstein) need to be exposed
I’d bet on it.
Unenforceable crap. A feel-good gesture so it looks like he’s doing something.
Pull our supply chain back. Consider them nothing but consumers from now on.
And stop transferring knowledge to them. They cannot be trusted to handle it properly.
They blew it, big-time.
Yep.
And let’s not forget we were in a Trade War with China.
Looks like we lost the Battle of Corona.
Kick them off the UN Security Council, and revoke their Most Favored Nation status for starters.
Trust a Commie at your own risk.
How about make liberals pay for their multi-cultural anti-American love fest wherein we dare not ever close borders or shut off travelers from any foreign hellhole for fear it would hurt their feelings while White Man Bad.
We could cancel the national debt we owe them.
“A feel-good gesture so it looks like he’s doing something.”
Yeah. Maybe more like grandstanding. The guy sounds like a whacko
It is a matter of national security.
China would find some cure or treatment that will immediately end this stupid panic.
Mexico is paying for the Wall by having their military patrol their side. That costs money. In effect, the Mexican Army is a Wall in itself.
They are also paying via USCMA by their losing certain NAFTA subsidies that are now going to US businesses.
Things have shifted. They are paying, US businesses are benefiting.
China holds hundreds of billions in US debt that can be disgorged.
Jim Banks? Who does this a$$hat represent?
Like there’s ANY way we’d make China do this. How about you try and figure out the HERE and NOW. Not what will be near impossible to achieve years from now.
These peewit politicians are so dumb sometimes.
> “Unenforceable crap.”
Nope. China holds US Debt. That’s a stick to whack them with.
POTUS can cause fedgov to sue China and recover damages, offset the debt they hold.
Read the details. Very good ideas inside.
