Retaliation against china

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...s-retaliation/

Are they just gonna present China with a bill and expect payment?

Obviously China has some fault in this mess.

But retaliation against them might not serve the public interest?

I am unsure as of what to do, if anything.

Speaking for me personally --

I've made the decision to stop buying stuff with "Made in China" on the label.

If enough other people did that --

Something tells me that might be a good start.

Why not enrich the commie's coffers and buy Chinese only?

Some fault... really? I'm pretty sure they are responsible for 99.99999% of all the deaths linked to the CCP WuFlu China Virus.... and the spread it was calculated. Why else would Beijing block all enternal travel from Wuhan but allow international flight out of Wuhan. Also the US is not the only nation looking at the lying CCP.

Could this be considered a act of war, or an attack on all the countries affected?

Good luck. I hope you don’t need a new smart phone anytime soon.

I made the same commitment years ago but after careful examination realized that those f***ers make damn near everything.

If we American citizens collectively agree to never buy another Chinese product...won't the Chinese seek to collect the trillion+ dollars that we owe them?

Kinda makes me cringe when I get those Chinese telemarketer voicemails where it sounds like a bunch of chimes when she speaks....anyone else get those?

It's definitely an attack on Humanity... and will be view in the same vain as the Small Pox Blankets of 1763

Could it not be contrived to Send the CCP Virus among those Disaffected Tribes of the World? We must, on this occasion, Use Every Stratagem in our power to Reduce theirs.”

That is why a full independent through investigation is needed. The World needs to know the other facts.

We know for a fact the CCP restricted internal travel. We know they pressured W.H.O. to spread the CCP lie.

What we don't know was the circumstances of the release.
