Why China Got Away With It
The American Spectator ^ | 27 Dec 2021 | Frank Schell

Posted on 12/29/2021 11:27:21 AM PST by Rummyfan

It gave the world a deadly virus and took no responsibility for it — and the world shrugged it off.

What can you say about a country that trashed the planet Earth with a deadly virus? That it knew what it was doing?

China has gotten away with it: businesses and industries destroyed or damaged; massive recession and unemployment; medical systems strained to the point of collapse; countries rent asunder by populism; transport systems in disarray; interruption of children’s education and development; loss of confidence in governments; rising mental illness, anger, and civil disobedience; vulnerability of the elderly and those with underlying conditions; and nearly twice as many American dead than in World War II. The full effects of COVID-19 and its variants are yet to be known.

Whether the COVID pathogen was an accidental release from the Wuhan Institute of Virology or an act of Nature via infected bats or pangolins matters less than the cover up by the Chinese Politburo — delayed disclosure by months, and the persecution of medical experts who tried to tell the truth. That domestic flights in and out of Wuhan were shut down while international ones were allowed to continue speaks for itself. Did the Chinese Politburo think that China should not be the only country to suffer — and that the catastrophe should be exported and shared?

Follow the $$$. The CCP means $$$ for the Democratic Party. And the CCP managed to get rid of one person who would have stood up to them (President Trump).

The US shares just as much responsibility thanks to Fauci and US federal funds.

This is no different than the appeasement of the Nazis prior to WW2. Most of the leaders of the West are cowards.... Neville Chamberlains.

Yeah. I tend to think this was a con. The Governments of the world pulling it, the citizens the marks. China played it’s part, and we have been taken.

But we’ll see how it plays out. It looks to me like things are falling apart.

I recall a top leader saying over and over that China will pay.

Don’t forget how Big Media was always running cover for Communist China, and attacking anyone who dared to criticize them

There’s still no shortage of China apologists out there!

I don't believe Chamberlain was a coward. Naive, overly trusting, prone to taking a man at his word.... and still reeling from the carnage of The Great War. in the time left to him he supported Churchill as PM.

Yes, falling apart for a while actually. The planned scenario ius springing leaks at a faster and faster rate as new and contradictory information continues to leak out.

The media imo is just about ready to throw in the sponge on this whole scam. The signs are everywhere and when that happens the whole thing collapses on them.

When Trump and Xi first met, Trump dazzled Xi when he sent cruise missiles into Syria. Covid was Xi’s answer to Trump.

What you can do, I can do better.

With Trump gone from the world scene and replaced by an imbecile, Xi can ride roughshod over the world.

The Democrat Party is practically owned by the Communist Politboro of China. All their shady dealings with Paul Pelosi, Hunter Biden and the rest have paid off.

Yes, but he was too timid to act. And thus a dictator who could easily have been put down when he defied the terms of the treaty and marched into the Sudetenland rose in power to start the worst carnage in human history. History is full of well-meaning corpses.

The leaders of the West today remind me of the intellectuals in their parlors in Vienna discussing whether or not Hitler meant what he said. Meanwhile the Nazis were across the border sharpening their knives.

Today China is sharpening its knives. The West dithers and wastes its effort in internal squabbles.
