No that wasn’t an issue, just fighting over unfair trade practices and tariff’s and their blocking a lot of US imports.

This outbreak though has exposed a glaring problem with us being so dependent on them for pharmaceuticals, PPE etc.

Worse, they make a lot of computer/electronics that our defense industry is dependent on.

Much of the western world has sold their souls to Chinese manufacturers and this outbreak has really exposed it.

This is a glaring national security threat to the entire free world.

It’s an economic threat maybe, but China is not sabre-rattling like we do. And nor is Russia. We’re the troublemakers here, not them.

Horse shit, they are building an expeditionary capability right now and aggressively seizing control of broad spanses of the S. China Sea and eastern Pacific.

China has been making the same moves Japan made between 1918-1940 for the last 20 years setting the board for a complete takeover of the South China Sea and Eastern Pacific.

There is a reason the USA has bases in the region, it’s called WWII and the USA Naval 7th fleet stationed in Japan. The USA is the most powerful country in world, with the greatest military in the world so we have military bases around the globe, live with it or choke on it, you’re choice.

Have you asked the question, what is China’s intent?

Imagine if the US enforced a 200 mile limit in the gulf of Mexico, the Chinese with drilling rigs everywhere would wet their panties.

Strange times make for strange allegiances. Hard for anyone to imaging Vietnam and the US as allies.
