Kevin McCarthy Lays Out Plan for House Republicans to Hold China Accountable for Coronavirus Pandemic
breitbart ^ | 06/21/2021 | Matthew Boyle

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy on Monday formally laid out a plan to hold the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable for the coronavirus pandemic, a “roadmap” that includes eight steps Congress can take to do so.

Key recommendations from the plan include a formal push to strip Beijing of the Winter Olympics next year as well as opening up China to wrongful death lawsuits in federal court here from people who lost loved ones to the virus. McCarthy also pushes for funding bans from U.S. tax dollars going to places like the Wuhan Institute of Virology and to any gain-of-function virus research being conducted by China–and he calls for a counterintelligence investigation into the World Health Organization (WHO) and for its director-general Dr. Tedros to resign.

Did you write the plan in crayon Kevin? Was it strongly worded?

How about removing their most favored trading status.

He better include Fauci, Obama and demonrats. We already know who sent the money to the Wuhan lab and colluded with the CCP. Certain RINOs too.

Give us the House and we'll hold China accountable.

Give us the House and Senate and we'll hold China accountable.

Give us the House, the Senate and the Presidency and we'll hold China accountable.

For some reason that sounds familiar.

Whoa, Xi must be shaking in his boots! Why not draft a list of viruses NOT to gain of function?

I'm sure it's a lot like their plan to remove and replace Obamacare: fodder to fool the base into thinking they will do things if only they are elected ... then they refuse to do them and just move on to the next level of lying.

Where were their plans to do something ... anything ... about China, the border, infastructure, yadda yadda yadda when they had both houses of congress and President Trump in the White House? They did nothing. No, that's wrong. They did plenty to BLOCK action from taking place.

I'm not falling for their baloney ever again.

How about holding our own government responsible first?

China does have billions in assets in the country.

Any meaningful response to the atrocity the CCP has foisted on the world must have “teeth”. All trade with China must be suspended until further notice, all student visas must be suspended until further notice, collaboration between US universities and China universities must be suspended, any nation that continues to trade with China must be banned from doing business with American companies, all China holdings in US banks must be frozen, all debt the US has with China should be zero balanced, All CCP owned entities in the US must be forfeited and these are just a start to what needs to occur.

We will compose a strongly worded letter that we are disappointed with the behavior of the Chinese government but despite our differences we can still work together for a new and secure international order.

The economic costs of our self-inflicted hysteria should be borne by the Democrats and the COVID RINOS. The Chinese couldn’t make us fool ourselves over masks and unneeded closures.

And when none of this happens, McCarthy will say we tried. Useless gesture.

I can hear The Who tuning up before playing "Won't Get Fooled Again." Should've been the theme song for the Tea Party.

How about our own Deep State/globalists who were also deeply involved—and made it a global catastrophe?

“China does have billions in assets in the country.”

As is the case in way too many situations, and the US doesn’t have the guts to do it, all the money in the world can’t be eaten. We have the power to stop them in their tracks any time we want. And without having to fire one shot.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/for-u-s-farmers-china-is-back-and-bigger-than-ever-11615372203

China imported $105 billion of food last year making it the 2nd largest importer in the world an especially difficult year for Chinese agriculture. Floods in the country’s south, drought in the north, typhoons in the northeast and pest infestations in the southwest took their tolls. Disease continued to spread among animals across China.

https://www.newsweek.com/watch-out-china-cannot-feed-itself-opinion-1575948

If they want to throw viruses at us, (Bio warfare), then stop throwing food at them. Let them eat their money and poisons. Then their leaders can explain their politics to the hungry people, all 1.4 billion of them.
