Nice.

Looking at capitalist countries behaviour even if China made all absolutely 100% everythinbg perfect ot won't change a dime. As you can't change countries where ruling class care only about 2-5% well being and have horrible qualification in almost every regard.

Btw, I want to repeat again - China has nothing to do with communism, except nice flag colors and legends.

She is no one who "had friends who had friends who told something". Besides being some low level virologist and running in April from HK (most probably being one of organizers of protests).

Right now US "proofs" and people they had are horribly low level.

@kurth

Hours before she boarded an April 28 Cathay Pacific flight to the United States, the respected doctor who specialized in virology and immunology at the Hong Kong School of Public Health had plotted her escape, packing her bag and sneaking past the censors and video cameras on campus.

Yan told Fox News in an exclusive interview that she believes the Chinese government knew about the novel coronavirus well before it claimed it did.

Trusted source, yes :-) She'll tell you everything even that China is controlled by aliens, it is just her believes.

The European Commission has come out with an unambiguous message against China’s efforts to spread disinformation related to the coronavirus outbreak in Europe. It is the first time the EU executive has publicly called out China for its role in spreading fake news.

It is nice how EU bureaucrats want to shift responsibility.

The Republican senator Rick Scott claimed on Sunday the US has evidence China is trying to slow down or sabotage the development of a Covid-19 vaccine by Western countries.

“We have got to get this vaccine done. Unfortunately we have evidence that communist China is trying to sabotage us or slow it down,” he said during a BBC interview.

“China does not want us … to do it first, they have decided to be an adversary to Americans and I think to democracy around the world.”

Asked what evidence the US had, Scott declined to give details but said it had come through the intelligence community.

“This vaccine is really important to all of us getting our economy going again. What I really believe is whether England does it first or we do it first, we are going to share. Communist China, they are not going to share,” he said.

It is hightly likely (c) that China is also responsible for US debt. I am sure we'll hear this soon.

Trump Blames China For Acting Too Late In Coordinating U.S. Coronavirus Response

https://www.theonion.com/trump-blames-china-for-acting-too-late-in-coordinating-1843243502

British Colonial HK government had anti-Sedition Law from 1938 to 1997

LISTEN TO wise old Hongkongers explain that we have been through this before. Consider this:

1) Violent rioters use arson and bombs in Hong Kong.

2) A sedition law is proposed.

3) Activist groups warn that the law will cause disaster.

4) The rulers, who live thousands of kilometers away, go ahead with the new law anyway.

5) Instead of disaster, the economy quietly begins to soar.

. That whole process happened under the British. The riots took place in the late 1960s, the Hong Kong Sedition Law was enacted by Britain in 1970, and the boom followed.

Forbes: U.S. Bullies China To Allow More Passenger Flights Despite Coronavirus Travel Restrictions

The U.S. government is threatening action against Chinese airlines, bullying Beijing to lift coronavirus restrictions on passenger flights.

United Airlines wants to resume four routes to China next month while Delta Air Lines wants to resume two. But a temporary Chinese policy allows an airline only one route.

“China has, over the objections of the U.S. government, impaired the operating rights of U.S. carriers,” Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Joel Szabat wrote to Chinese airlines in a public letter.

The U.S. argues China’s flight restriction “imposes capacity limitations” that are “inconsistent” with their historical aviation treaty. However, the four page U.S. letter makes no reference to coronavirus or COVID-19, the extenuating circumstances behind the restrictions.

Chinese airlines are understood to want the policy lifted as well, believing they can safely transport passengers across more than one weekly flight.

Szabat said U.S. airlines should be able to “exercise their full bilateral rights.” The U.S. however has effectively limited airlines elsewhere, such as by prohibiting the entry of Europeans.

In its complaint about passenger flights, the U.S. did not acknowledge China helped all three major U.S. airlines start and increase cargo flights.
