China should be legally liable for the pandemic damage it has done
Washington Post, via MSN ^ | April 10, 2020 | Marc Thiessen

Posted on 04/11/2020 6:41:43 AM PDT by libstripper

The costs of the pandemic keep piling up. Hundreds of millions of Americans are on lockdown, a record 16.8 million have filed unemployment claims, nearly 15,000 Americans have died so far and the death toll is growing exponentially by the day. Congress has passed three coronavirus relief bills totaling $2.3 trillion, and more might soon be in the works.

Somebody has to pay for this unprecedented damage. That somebody should be the government of China.

Surprise! The Compost come out with a great article. There are plenty of Chi Com assets here to be attached, starting with the trillion or so in US bonds currently held by the Chi Com government.

Careful, probably better approach is economic blockade and confiscation

Please don’t miss this documentary. Best hour you will spend all week.

The first documentary movie on CCP virus,
“Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus”

The CCP virus, which originated from China, has rampaged through the world and caused more than 80,000 deaths, infecting at least 1.4 million.

The true number of deaths and infections is unknown due to the underreporting of cases from mainland China.

In the new documentary presented by The Epoch Times and NTD, Epoch Times investigative reporter Joshua Philipp takes an in-depth look at the progression of the pandemic from January to April and leads us on a journey of discovery to bring the truth behind the matter to light.

From the Huanan Seafood Market in Hubei Province to the scandals at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, from long-running experiments on viruses to military takeovers, suspicious activities arise from every corner. Through vigorous investigations and the piecing together of hidden information, the documentary will unearth a more complete understanding of the situation surrounding the rise of this pandemic.

Suspicions uncovered from official reports and publicly available information also sprouted more questions, leading to surprising findings and inquiries.

If after all this virus B.S.we go back to business as usual with China AND be shackled with all of the restrictions that these little dicktaters have pushed on us,then if there isn’t some kind of revolt shame on us.

We should be seizing their assets and auctioning them off for pennies on the dollar.

You can bet they would do the same to us.

You really do want to start a nuclear war?

You really want the future to be prehistoric?

Be serious.

We can walk away from them and they will hurt.

No one will walk with us

that is why we need nationalism and americanism

And you believe seizing assets would do that? No one walks with us now so it won't matter much, now will it.

The day China will be forced to pay reparations for the trillions of dollars the US has suffered in damages will be the day that Clinton and Comey will be indicted before a grand jury.

The only real revenge we can get on China is to bring manufacturing back to America.

I will be happy if we remove Most Favored Nation status for trade, and make a fertile ground to bring industry back to this country.

Yes I do.

I think that westerners in particular really misunderstand the level of moral and cultural difference between the Orient, the Middle East and the West.

They give no f***s.

The only realistic way to punish the Butchers of Beijing is for advanced industrial nations (US,Europe,Japan,South Korea,etc) to pull their factories out of Red China.

I like the sentiment, but if this were a real court case China would get off paying minimal damages, if any.

For one thing, more than 99% of the financial cost has nothing to do with the virus and everything to do with our own pathetic, infantile response to it. China would have plenty of evidence available to point out that the U.S. and its various state and local governments were actually complicit in making the problem worse.
