The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed more clearly than ever before the nature and relentlessness of the ruling Chinese Communist Party’s ambition to place itself at the center of global power and influence. What once was an opaque policy, articulated by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, of “hide your strength, bide your time,” has now morphed into the transparent, if still unstated, approach by President Xi Jinping of “seizing the Covid-19 moment” – before it closes. (snip) With China’s likely emergence now as the first major world economy to end lockdowns and regain growth, Covid-19 now offers a once-in-a-century chance to accelerate the geopolitical shift in Beijing’s favor

Just ban Chinese imports. There will be shortages of items liberals love like Iphones and Nikes, and shortages of other things, but Americans would learn to buy American and American companies could start producing again. Yes, things would be more expensive but it would even out in the long run and meanwhile send China back to the Ming Dynasty.

"Seize the moment", ChiComs. CNBC and the rest of the lamestream media are all rooting for you. Make them proud.

The Chinese aren't letting a good crisis go to waste. They could easily have released this thing to achieve this, and considering how the Dems are acting, might have with their knowledge and agreement.

China is in an all out blitz in the USA to hand out to tabloids like CNBC and the UK rags scripts they can post hailing their fake efforts. They will be busy as they have 183 more countries that are suffering from the Wuhan virus and not buying their BS.

Their economy is going to tank. Who is going to buy anything “made in China”?
We’ve been trying to lead “made in China” free lives for years now but we will be a lot more strenuous in our efforts in the future.

I would suspect many nation's might want to be number one, so using this premise to start undermines what follows. We should focus on getting our nation in order, defending ourselves, and not blaming China for being idiots in negotiations, or acting as if leaving the store unlocked doesn't encourage theft, especially since we have never prosecuted anyone for it.

China is accelerating its plans for economic domination by 2049 using the pandemic as the "assassin's mace" to consolidate its control of the third world. Their loans to these countries are predatory and they will confiscate the land and any industrial infrastructure that has value to repay them. They already have a long term lease of the port governing the Panama Canal. Our drug, construction materials, furniture, textiles, footwear, and consumer electronics supply chains are completely dominated by Chinese state businesses. The US companies that have invested dollars in China will never be allowed to get their capital back.
The genius that was conned by Xi Jinping into believing this would democratize China was Joe Biden. He was lulled by Xi over 25 hours of private, unrecorded meetings into selling China's master plan to Obama and Wall Street. If they can manage to undermine Trump and get their puppet Biden elected using their influence over our politicians and media it will seal our fate. Their only Achilles heel is if the West boycotts their products and dries up the flow of cash to their international Ponzi scheme.

If this love letter to China doesn't give a giant middle finger to everything American, I don't know what else does.

I can distinctly remember - - in the 1960s - - all the leftist media gleefully celebrating the imminent date when the Soviet economy would surpass the US economy. The New York Times even published a chart - - which showed the projected moment when it would happen.
But - - when the truth came out after the Soviet Union imploded - - it turned out that its economy was 1/80th - - yes 1/80th, not 1/8th - - the size they said it was. Everything the leftists said - - surprise, surprise - - was a complete lie.
The idea that a Chicom economy could surpass ours is laughable. A pack of commie lies - - just like the last one.

Political bedfellows may keep China above the waves for now.. Things we little people know nothing about goes on in the dark and China benefits. However, little people don't hurt China on Wall Street or Washington. We get our pound of flesh beginning at WalMart. Check the labels - dump China.

CNBC owes me money. I can say that as someone observant enough to see that China was climbing the walls over a trade deal negotiation that for the first time since stupid Nixon invited communists into the house, was actually pushing back. An America first position had their economy tanking within 6 months. Will future trade talks be better or worse for China? Please bet me on this, CNBC. ANY amount of money you want to wager. Now we have an American economy in an instant rescission. Will THAT boost Chinas comeback? Do you really think the rest of the world will roll over for Imperialist China?
I'm not even talking about their banks and the mountain of debt they have piled up to make their growth possible. They are going to run smack into the wall on that. Revolution and famine are waiting in the wings for the Chinese thugs. America hasn't begun to sort itself out, but we've done it before. Millions of fat, stupid and lazy Americans might have to dig deep to survive, but ask someone who lived thru much worse. We are a country blessed with trillions of tons of resources, we still lead the world in tech, inventions and food production. Plus we have a lot of weapons. We can grow food all over the place in spite of moronic rat women governors who actually think they can keep us from doing that.
Thank you China. Go for it. You will be forced to sooner rather than later. This world debacle was because of you and it will come back to your gangsters running that slave state. This is the final wake up call for a lot of deluded Americans, but when it hits the fan they will be rolled over, along with seditious slobs at CNBC. The next internment camps will be for the liars in the media. I know that's not the plan, but the Revolt could not have happened without this bio-war attack, and the unmasking of the fascist rats.

China will have to suffer for this-they hurt virtually every foreign country they were stealing, er, trading with, and all the pols who greased the wheels in their gvts to facilitate sweetheart deals with the Chicoms will be in the spotlight.
