Bringing Back the Bamboo Curtain
When I was young, Red China was said to be behind the Bamboo Curtain by analogy to the Iron Curtain. It is beginning to look like the decision to open up to China was a mistake. The hope was that free trade and capitalism would break down the totalitarian government. It did not; it crated a fascist society; a mix of capitalism and authoritarianism. It is time to end Most Favored Nation status for China. I feel for the many Chinese capitalists and entrepreneurs who have done their best to make something of an opportunity for themselves, but the costs are too high. A society that hides a major health problem too long is too dangerous to trade with.

It appears highly likely this virus is a zoonosis. Probably transmitted from a wild animal like a bat being handled for sale at an exotic market place. Supposedly this was an illegal market. Their corrupt society seems to tolerate or continue this because of bribery.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese obsession with strange and exotic wildlife for profit and fake cures is another reason to be wary of them. More pandemics are likely to come from them as long as they continue the custom. I am very leary of food and medicine coming from there to US. Watch food labels closely! You might be surprised how much food in the store originates from China. Frozen veggies and bottled juices for example.
Very true!! Trump is the first president in decades who is not a stooge of the cm globalist scum.
