Trump angers China by warning US may seek damages over virus
France24 ^ | April 28, 2020

Washington (AFP) - US President Donald Trump suggested he may seek damages from China over the coronavirus pandemic which began in the Chinese city of Wuhan and spread around the world, prompting a furious response from Beijing on Tuesday.

"We are not happy with China," Trump said at a White House briefing Monday. "We are not happy with that whole situation because we believe it could have been stopped at the source.

In Beijing, a foreign ministry spokesman on Tuesday accused US politicians of "telling barefaced lies", without naming Trump specifically, and of ignoring their "own serious problems".

"American politicians have repeatedly ignored the truth and have been telling barefaced lies," Geng Shuang told reporters at a regular press briefing.

"They have only one objective: shirk their responsibility for their own poor epidemic prevention and control measures, and divert public attention."

Geng said US politicians should "reflect on their own problems and find ways to contain the outbreak as quickly as possible."

Too bad, let them get angry. China is culpable and needs to make reparations.

This lockdown was never about our “safety”. It was so power hungry Dumborats could use their last Hail Mary to try and crash the economy and influence the 2020 election outcome to prevent a potential Trump landslide. Biden should have no chance. The Dems KNOW Biden is not a good enough candidate to beat Trump. Or at least one would hope. So they decided to crash our economy to hurt Trump’s chances.

The Dems have made their intentions known for some time now. The masks have slipped and they are desperate to hang onto power. They deserve to be tried for treason for what they did.

The US National Security Agency records every single phone call, and every single e-mail sent. It records every single web search, and even smart television can monitor what goes on inside homes and offices.

We put up with this massive violation of the Constitution under the guise of "national security."

I believe this virus was released intentionally, I believe globalists, Democrats, and certain members of the media were all in on it or privy to the plans.

Where is the NSA? You mean there isn't one recorded phone call or e-mail with evidence that would bring down their entire house of cards ploy?

Yeah, yeah, I know. They "can't release" that, and they are "on the trail."

Meanwhile, America burns.

sadly I agree, but that means the dims are in Bed with China Russia and Iran for real...only the Chinese could release the virus without the world bombing it, another sign we have already lost, we are not willing to call sin sin, hate hate, and corruption corruption..it is now all so politically good, death to the Earth by our Hand, that God allows because we do not seek or observe the feast as commanded, Come Lord Jesus

They gotta lot of nerve telling us that we have inferior medical responses and prevention. Last time I looked we don’t have open air markets killing dogs and eating them. Plus they’re FOS. Claiming that there are no new cases of the Bat flu. Yeah right. They’re not going to make any restitution payments. The only thing these Commies understand is the smoking end of a missile silo.

Trump is just talking - as are they. We’ll be getting huge damages by simply monetizing our debt, which is what we’re doing by passing out all this free money to people who are not china. Everyone will have to pay it back in higher prices, but that will include china. :)

Anger? You conduct biowarfare operations against the world, destroy the global economy and attempt to profit by buying up the good stuff at distress sales and YOU are angry?

US doctrine on biowarfare is clear and well known for 5 decades. We have one final ultimate response. You wanna go there?

There is historical precedent for this. Haiti turned their successful war of independence into a genocidal killing field and invaded their neighbors. The world decided their behavior was so over the top that it quarantined them from trade until they agreed to make an annual reparations payment to have the quarantine lifted.

The Chinese learned from WW2. They have kept their Pearl Harbor below the massive retaliation threshhold, and have even managed to turn Americans against one another, instead of against Communist China.

We are playing "GO" against grand masters, and we don't even understand the game.

For example, they are, via infrastructure projects, establishing beachheads on every continent. Every project comes with its own major Chinese work force, including clandestine special operators and intel agents. It's pathetic how we are being rolled, including by American and Western traitors who are supporting the rise of the ChiNazis for personal financial gain.

I will never ever buy another product that says “Made in China,” and I will strive to find out if other products have parts or materials sourced in China, and I won’t buy them either.

Take a look here: https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/made-in-america

I have sworn off Harbor Freight for starters. Some of their stuff is quite good; some is pure junk (their $40.00 electric chain saw comes to mind - ECCH!). But now, it’ll stay on the shelf while I look for American-made tools and equipment.

It will be impossible to avoid buying stuff that doesn't at least have some Chinese made parts, but we must make the effort to the best of our ability, even if it means doing without stuff we don't need.

Thanks, free traitors. How's saving $.10 on those Chinese made pens working out for you?
