Punishing China Easier said than done, and it knows it.
The American Spectator ^ | April 20, 2020 | Jed Babbin

All available evidence points to the conclusion that the COVID-19 virus originated in a Chinese laboratory in the city of Wuhan. Whether it was created as a biological weapon or was the natural evolution of other viruses being studied in the lab, it’s apparent that through negligence of those involved in the research, the virus was released into Wuhan and then spread around the world.

Even in the most favorable light, the pandemic is a direct result of the Chinese government’s intentional acts or gross negligence.

...

That’s not nearly good enough. The president — as well as his COVID-19 task force and other government leaders — should be blasting China every day for what it has done and deriding its claims of global leadership. No one outside China should go to bed at night without having heard the truth about China’s responsibility for the pandemic.

It’s not a choice. China has to be neutered.

Be a damn shame if those Chinese Generals started to worry about losing their mansions and luxury cars and threw the communists out.

Allow US citizens to sue China.

It will destroy China.

They could not send another container ship to our shores as the contents could be seized to satisfy the huge judgements.

It the container ships stop, the mass riots in China’s streets start.

Hundreds of millions of angry unemployed, starving Chinese could not be stopped.

China has bought and paid for the Democrat Party.

Nothing will happen.

Unless things happened to Pelosi, Schumer and other traitors.

Lesson: Never deal with communists. What a terrible, failed experiment it has been.

We could only be so lucky. China owns “both” major political parties in this country. Until we hold the GOP accountable for their support of open borders and unfair trade nothing will change

Oooow....I get a tingle down my leg with that! Rope, lamp post and some assembly required. The Schumk should already be in jail for threatening those SCOTUS judges. The vile, demonic Botoxian is gonna die soon from eating too much ice cream. And the rest of em would hang very nicely.

The origin question is distraction. The more pressing issue is the fact that China blocked travel from Wuhan to the rest of China but made sure travel from Wuhan to the rest of the world continue so the rest of the world got infected In other words China released a germ warfare weapon on the rest of the world.

If the Republican rank and file consumers brought their buying of Chinese goods to a dead stop, the Chinese would feel immense pain. Add conservative consumers from around the world and China will quickly be brought to its knees.

the democrat party needs to be weaned from chinese money. If that much is accomplished then the suits will be worth while. Well, there’s more. US & European manufacturing needs to be moved out of china. chinese invasion of US universities and corporations and government entities needs to end. these guys are bad actors. if the suits fail but they force the above actions—then they’ll have been successful.

As it is the chinese have overplayed a weak hand and they know it. but they keep on.

The fault for much of this does in fact lie with the greedy “globalists” who pursued China-centric supply chains even though doing so was VERY clearly a terrible decision that anyone with a modicum of common sense would advise against. Our elites were unforgivably STUPID, and if they are wondering why they cannot budge Trump’s approvals no matter how much they throw at him, it is for this reason. These people have put us all in terrible jeopardy and China took advantage of their... I just don’t even know how to describe the GARBAGE that these people are.

I honestly don’t know what are options are, but I do know it is imperative that we shut off the tech transfer, boot their students, and restart manufacturing our own strategic goods.

History tells us that making a powerful country miserable with reparations (Germany after WWI) is a good way to end up with a war. The ChiCom government needs to go. I don’t think this is a matter of money so much as a need to aid efforts aimed at regime change. Let’s find a way to cut straight to Nuremberg with these b*stards.

“Put 100% tariffs on all Chinese products.

Sue them for the cost of the epidemic. Get compensated by seizing all their US assets, including T bonds. You could use IRS personnel for that purpose. They’re very good at seizing things.
