Maybe China turns it over to a 'collection agency'?
And they robo-call The White House and Congress 50 times a day?
If THAT happens... maybe THEN Congress actually DOES something about OUR robo-calls?

The robo-calls that I get have a distinct HINDU accent.

Nothing will change. One of our states agreed to a contract buying masks from some almost bankrupt Chinese company at $5 per mask.

You wouldn't believe how many "American" and "European" companies are owned by Chinese citizens.

Crimes against humanity.
Germany already on board seeking compensation.
Entire world community needs to band together and stop ALL relations, trade, travel with China - 100% isolate them and REFUSE to provide them anything.

Not if we tell them go pound salt and use that money as compensation.
They have cost us more than that already - as far I see it, we owe them 0 as of now.

Here's an idea: We take the China issue to the U.N. -- the paragon of Social Justice. I'm sure they'll impose very still sanctions against China.
