China committed an 'act of war' by covering up the scale of its early coronavirus outbreak for six weeks, a leading economist has claimed.
Danielle DiMartino Booth, an author and chief executive, said Beijing officials were aware of the deadly disease spreading in Wuhan last November and allowed it to snowball into a global pandemic.
She said Chinese officials had countless lives on their hands and should be hauled before an international court as their 'under-reporting' did not afford the rest of the world time to prepare for an onslaught.
The economist points to a 'pandemic clause' in the January trade deal between Washington and Beijing, which she believes is evidence the Communist regime knew the extent of their crisis while publicly downplaying it. Her blistering attack, made on the Valuetainment YouTube show, came as Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, revised the city's official death toll to add nearly 1,300 fatalities.
She told host Patrick Bet-David that reports of a virus in Wuhan emerged in November, and that six weeks later on January 15, Washington and Beijing signed a trade deal in which she claims China preempted the pandemic.
In an agreement which ended the bitter trade war between the world's two economic powerhouses, Xi Jinping would buy $200million of American goods and Donald Trump would ease tariffs on Chinese exports.
But DiMartino Booth said that buried in this deal was 'an out-clause, a very clever out-clause that the Chinese made sure was in there.'
She continued: 'That said if there was any act of God, a pandemic, then they didn't have to make good on what they'd committed to buy from the United States.

From the pic alone...i believe her . sorry that I’m easy to please and convince XD
Trump knows Xi is the enemy, but also knows there is nothing to be gained by telling Xi (and the public) you know all about him.
This comes from years of dealing with mafia-affiliated construction firms in NYC.
Aha.
So that is what is meant by “valuetainment”
One would think that an author and CEO would know that...
I know of a specific Pentagon document that states just that.
Asians have a chip missing. Sorry, but it’s true. Real racism exists in China. Not the contrived racism you find in the West. A white man can be born in China, speak perfect Chinese, have total commitment to the state, and he will never be accepted as Chinese in any sense because of his DNA. This is a FACT.
Mafia is still there, Xi will still infiltrate every part of the globe. Status quo remains. Not really a great legacy to hang your hat on.
Well..I forgot the question, what was the question?
It was “200 billion”, not million.
Me love America long time...
Otherwise, there isn’t going to be a direct war with China anytime soon.
The best we can hope for is we move all health medical and definitely pharma related manufacturing out of there.
And more tariffs on everything else?
I am a little more skeptical ..and would need to investigate further. :)
As has been said many times on these threads, we are at war (with China externally and the Left internally). The fighting just hasn't broken out into the open yet.
With the virus and its lying to the world, China just did the world a big favor in that regard.
Except where it has already bought off entire countries, China can kiss its Belts and Roads Initiative buh-bye.
Or you can go with the researchers who authored “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” over at Nature:

Nice sweater meat!

The research would have happened with or without our funding. Coronavirus (there are endless types) was studied when I was a student 30 years ago as respiratory viruses pose a continual threat to humanity. We likely fund studies throughout the world, not just at this lab, as normal research.
The most important thing to know is that China lied about the outbreak, the contagiousness of the virus, and they did not contain it. They curtailed travel within their own nation, but allowed international travel to continue to the affected area. They delayed their own lock-down allowing tens of thousands to come to Wuhan for the New Year festivities.
This is egregious conduct and it why the entire world should be very angry.
Had they taken the common-sense actions and established protocols to contain the virus when they first became aware of it we would not be having this conversation, we would not have taken a 10 trillion dollar bath (my best guess), and there would not be the death and sickness throughout the world.
This is undeniable. How Patient-Zero became infected is an interesting conversation, but it does not change what I wrote above in any way. Wet market or lab accident..... either way does not change the behavior of the CCP to the virus or the current circumstance we find ourselves in.
The media is muddying the waters as usual with too little focus on the behavior of the CCP after the pandemic began.
And THAT should be the punishment! That’d be far more effective than military war!
