PRC moral turpitude forces us to consider the unthinkable.
We often ascribe a basic level of humanity to even the cruelest leaders, but People’s Republic of China leader Xi Jinping’s actions have forced us to rethink this assumption. Although the emergence of the novel coronavirus now known as SARS-CoV-2 was probably not due to China’s actions, the emphasis that its authoritarian system places on hiding bad news likely gave the disease a sizable head start infecting the world. But most ominously, China’s obsession with image and Machtpolitik raises serious questions about its lack of moral limits.
At some point the Chinese Communist Party learned of the epidemic and made a decision to hide its existence, hoping it went away. Exposés in Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post and the Chinese mainland’s Caixin show that the information that did flow out of China early in the crisis did so only because of the courage of individual Chinese people in the face of government repression. People in the Wuhan epicenter, however, began to get wise — and scared (here and here) — by the end of December 2019, forcing their government to say something. The authorities gave the impression of a nontransmissible disease already under containment. We know now this was entirely false, likely designed more to ease civil unrest than protect the people.
The mayor of Wuhan even suggested that the central government prevented him from revealing details about the epidemic until January 20. Considering the first public announcements came out of Wuhan on January 1, we can assume that Xi had a sense of the danger prior to that.
Clearly, downplaying the disease wasn’t working and it was time for the Party to get serious. But how serious? Would it provide full cooperation to the international community? Would being seen as the source of this virus hurt its international image? Beyond these, there was a darker dimension: the more Beijing cooperated, the less the disease stood to affect other countries. This includes countries China sees as a threat to its existence, like the United States. Why should China suffer the effects of a pandemic while others stayed safe — and increased their strength relative to China — based on China’s own costly experience?
Such a question is of course inimical to human decency. And yet we must consider that Xi Jinping has produced the greatest program of ethnic cleansing in the world today. He has curtailed freedoms in China severely and is the father of the panopticon state. His incessant military buildup threatens neighbors while using economic and other subversive means to erode the sovereignty of countries around the world. We should not assume it was beyond his imagining to withhold a degree of support from the international community to ensure that China would not suffer alone.
Strong evidence supports this idea. Hearing the World Health Organization (WHO) repeat and praise the Party line while giving short shrift to health advice until quite recently has alarmed many. Seeing Beijing sell defective wares and claim it as humanitarian aid has angered many more. Spreading disinformation during the crisis and hinting at using life-saving goods for leverage (original here) — while denying even the faintest hint of wrongdoing — I suspect have ruined China’s reputation for some time to come. In short, China’s good offices have been reserved almost entirely for burnishing its image at the world’s expense, while calling it “the greatest kindness and good deeds.”
None of this can prove whether or when Xi made a deliberate decision to withhold information in order to imperil others. However, as a long-time student and admirer of China, it is with great sadness I must concede that such a state — and its increasingly paranoid leader — might very well provide less than full cooperation to stem the pandemic of the century in the crass pursuit of its own interests. This may constitute biological warfare. But even if it doesn’t Xi should be brought to account for his other crimes against humanity.

Yep.
Speaking for the rest of the planet, I say we destroy China by boycotting everything they make until the people outside of China who make it there either move somewhere else or go out of business.
Put them back behind the wall, where they were before Nixon, cut off from the rest of the world until the end of time.
If there’s one thing the rest of the planet can agree on it’s that these !@(#*@’s deserve to be punished for this. BIG TIME.
To Donald J Trump:
I will probably post this a couple of times in hopes that someone on your team sees this..ahem Donald Trump Jr
It is one of the most obvious and ridiculous examples of China bias from the WHO.Btw, Black Agnes posted a pic sometime ago that was thought to possibly be this guy..and ...ahem...a possible reason for this whole thing. Think Honey Pot

Scores of coronavirus patients may be dying in Iran and Italy because Western doctors are not using such cutting edge treatment as China, World Health Organization expert claims
Whether deliberate or not, our bigger problem is that while China had their own self-serving motivations for handling this the way they did, the New World Order machine ran with it full force for their own reasons. China may intend to squash us, but it’s the NWO that has their boots upon our necks making that our more immediate problem. If they succeed in defeating Trump in November, it’s truly the end of our Constitutional Republic. And no, I don’t think I’m overstating the danger.

Are they? (I’m not questioning you.) I didn’t know that. Thanks!
“NO, the Chinese Communist Party made a decision to keep the virus a secret so they could order emergency supplies from the rest of the world...”
If they had been open about it and got help, they would not have needed those supplies. That may have been a reason, but there were many reasons, all evil.
“...Yes. Next Question?...”
Who were the U.S. communist DS collaborators on the release? Names?

“No more for Americans!”
I’ve been having propaganda showing up on my facebook page today in the form of some factcheck site telling me the info I have posted is wrong and their correct facts indicate the (CCP virus) my term ii a natural occurrence and not escaped from a lab, i’ll bet the post originates from China.
Life in China is cheap. The Chinese have always been baffled by this silly Western romance with the "poor". If they aren't bright enough to feed themselves, why should a government waste time and resources to feed them? Government exists to wield power, and wealth, for the few. They can blow smoke about "service", to stop the churls from eating them, but governments are a fast way to riches.
When Mao was told that a preemptive nuclear war against the United States by the Soviet Union would wipe out half his country, he was puzzled that Khrushchev would hesitate. The poor always breed. Xi and the PLA are in it for their own wealth, and a few million dead poor are no great loss. As long as the smell can be hidden, since it taints the wine.
Any way to get a screenshot of that?
Something good to save.
1. Chinese new year celebrations are in January and probably millions of Chinese throughout the world return to the homeland going back to their foreign homes later. Did many carry the virus beck with them? You betcha!
2. January 14 - A big celebration (name unrecalled) was held in Wuhan with 40,000 “families” in attendance. No doubt many came from other countries. Did many carry the virus back with them? You betcha!
3. When Wuhan was finally quarantined in late January, it was said several million of the residents had already fled the city. Where did they go? Did many carry the virus with them? You betcha!
Certainly the CCP government knew they were contaminating the world with this caronavirus. The questions are:
1. Did the spread occur by accident and got out of hand.
2. Did the CCP allow it to spread on purpose so as to emerge on the other side as the dominant world power (as well as the other communist countries - Russia and NK who were not affected by the virus)
3. If #2 is true, should caronavirus be classified as a Weapon of Mass Destruction?
Now, allow those questions to peculate in your mind for a while and then respond. Let’s get some of our FR deep thinkers going, and then the movers and shakers. This topic is of maximum importance. So sayeth elpadre!!!
Again, yes.
As far as I can see, the Deep State (and all that THAT encompasses) and the PRC are joined at the hip.
China is seeing their cheap-crap sell-anything to America policy being eroded by DJT and of course, the DS, being what they are, would just as soon see the rise of China if it meant the fall of DJT.
The Dim party and the NeverTrumpers know damned well how this Virus crap got started and now that it has backfired on Pooh Bear and his bunch of murderous bastards, they want to do anything they can to bring Trump down.
Even if it means the death of innocent Americans.
After all, they condone and encourage the "abortion" of a living child...or murder at birth.
Why would the pieces of shit feel any different about this?
I say we hang all the treasonous bastards, starting with...well, pick one, I'll get the rope.
I was a little slow to pick up on it as it interfered with my work and was annoyed, I will make sure I save it if I see it again.

Your posting history reads like an apologia for Xi, but in poor Engrish.
Care to explain why we shouldn’t out you as a ChiCom Troll?
Thanks.
I’m not on FB and I’d love to see it.
Well, President Trump consistently refers to CV19 as a "war" and he is informed by the most effective intel apparatus in the world.
But, of course, there may be another meaning to Trump's words; so if Xi did not intentionally release the virus, his professional negligence caused a significant number of deaths around the globe and he should be held liable.
To quote a line from a John Prine song, “A question ain’t really a question if you know the answer too.”
