CHINA PLAYING THE LONG GAME: China's population in 2019 was estimated at 1.4 Billion people. The United States 2019 estimated population was 330 Million people.
In November of 1968 I arrived at the American Embassy in Canberra, coming straight from a 13 month tour at our Embassy in Siagon. I was 23 years old and in excellent health.
The buzz going around the Embassy at the time was the flu that was coming out of China. There was a vaccine available and it was strongly suggested that everyone get the vaccine. I did, and immediately got the flu. No problem, I was dragging anchor for a couple of days but was over it quickly. However, there is always a segment of the population with health conditions that put them at a higher risk, and some will die because of the increased risk.
In the 50 years between then and now, I can not remember a year when there was not a scare about a new virus coming out of China. Why is it ALWAYS China? In a game of sheer numbers/bodies, eventually China will be the last one standing!
I do believe that this current example (CCP Covid-19) is deliberate, and while wide spread, was targeting the United States. I also believe that China is in contact with dark forces from within and without of the United States. Yes, the release of this virus from the level 4 lab WAS an act of war, and the Intelligence agencies of the United States had better wake up. We have been permitting this to take place, in my experience and personal observation, for the last 50 years at least.
IF it was deliberate, we know who did it and once this is over, they will pay. IF.
No way to prove intent. Those who can prove intent have already been “disappeared”.
So you believe that they launched a virus so mild that most people don’t know they have it and that they launched a virus that targets the old and sick? To what end? As a test for a more powerful and lethal virus?
Do you think they also generated the mass hysteria occurring in the US and the crippling lockdowns? That is all on the US.
But you raise an interesting point. If we knew for sure that WuFlu was an act of war what would be the appropriate internal US response? I posit that it would not involve closing our economy since it’s hard to fight a war hunkering down.
China had a huge presence in Little Rock in the early 90’s and was actively helping Bill Clinton win the election.
Given current population trends what are the projected populations of China and the US in 2050?
They never forgave the West for the Opium Dens.
Like most crap made in China, it didn’t work 80% of the time.
At least partially agree. Have long noted that all the influenza annually comes out of China. Just can’t be a coincidence, or their particularly unsanitary living conditions, IMHO. The BSL4 lab was collecting bats for their deadly viruses, according to info from National Review quoting various China sources. Whether or not the viral “escape” was intentional, it was inevitable, if reports of their BSL procedures are true.
God, however, has a way of flipping things on aggressors. When this episode is done or slowed down, we will have an armamentarium of antiviral drugs and accumulated medical treatment knowledge that may “immunize” the whole world from future contagious diseases, whether intentional or not. Doctors are gaining an understanding of many other diseases, and devloping medical strategies not previously imagined.
That was funny right there!

Since about 3,000 years ago China’s name for itself has been Zongghou, or The Middle Kingdom. They saw (see) themselves as being in the middle of the earth, surrounded by barbarians. That view is in their cultural DNA. They expect to be around in another 3,000 years, and more, when all the barbarians will have disappeared or been conquered and absorbed.
Read what I wrote.

In all cases, it may have been a factor in dynastic collapses. Which is why Xi Jinping is so secretive about it. Chinese rulers don’t play the long game - they’re obsessively short term-oriented and always looking over their inner circle and hoi polloi for signs of impending mutiny or revolt. Pandemics are like a starter’s gun for such movements - a sign from up high that the regime/ruler is vulnerable. That’s why Xi has been so secretive - Chinese rulers don’t look far ahead, they look thousands of years back for portents and signs that regime collapse is near, because that’s what internal and external regime challengers do.
I responded after reading it. Now answer my questions.
Crap. I meant to reply to the poster not you. Sorry.

I have marveled at the same mystery for 60+ years.
Decades ago, I was told that it was due to migrating birds coming from China, across Alaska and eventually in Canada and then into America.
About 3 decades ago, an Infectious Disease doc was able to confirm/document that year’s flu came from China via passengers on airplanes from China, to Japan, to Alaska and then to the states. He caught hell for publishing his data.
Agree. Personal observations over 73 years as well.
Pressure from the media often forces our politicians into unwise decisions. The media love to generate panic. Panic sells newspapers and TV ads. It's a bonus when a Republican is in the White House. And the public in panic creates tremendous pressure on politicians to do something drastic, especially when the press is like a bunch of circling sharks.
