The Chinese Communist Party waited nearly a week before
revealing the emergence of a new strain of coronavirus, gave false information
to the world health organisation (WHO) by claiming it was not transferable from
Human to Human (when they knew fine well it was), deliberately under-reported
infection rates, their police rounded up doctors who attempted to get the truth
out, and obstructed international research into the pandemic.
Since then it has pursued a campaign of misinformation about
the origins of the virus, taunted the United States government, and even
threatened Australia with a boycott after the their government backed calls for
an independent inquiry.
The initial case was recorded in Wuhan 17 November.. 266
cases by December there. China downplayed it and threatened any doctors speaking
out with arrest, the main dctors were summoned by the Chinese authorities on
sign a non-disclosure on fear of arrest. China could have went into lockdown a
lot sooner but instead choose to hid the facts and it’s been confirmed during
this period infected people were flying out from China to other world
destinations.*
The DHS (US department of Homeland security) are saying they
have found out that China “stockpiled medical supplies... before its official
notification to WHO that COVID-19 was contagious" and drastically
decreased medical exports & increased medical imports while covering up the
coronavirus.*

sources at foot of this post)
Strategically speaking China is looking to come out the best
in a post-Corona virus world (there is are some theories, which I not fully
believe at this point, that they may have even released it on purpose which if
this was the case then it’s their biggest coup since Troy opened its gates and
said “what a lovely big wooden horse”)
I have been recently reading about The Belt and Road
Initiative which is a global development strategy adopted by the Chinese
government in 2013 involving infrastructure development and investments in
nearly 70 countries and international organizations in Asia, Europe, and
Africa.
Within this program
China provided loans to developing nations with mines & ports as collateral.
Now Covid19 will
hinder those nations ability to repay the debt so then China will seize mines
& ports globally in lieu of payment.
These mines &
ports also serve as strategic military assets. So with this is mind, it would
certainly look as if when the world economy crashes China will have the most to
gain and as such has won a “cold war” without a bullet being fired .... just by
opening (either by accident or on pupose) a Pandora’s box then cashing it’s
chips in on a pre-played game of monopoly!
Kudos for for the German Newpaper "Bild" who have
shown more balls than our UK government so far for calling out China, they basically
summed up China and its involvement perfectly.
First they published
an editorial entitled 'What China owes us', calling for China to pay
reparations of £130 billion for the damage done by the outbreak of the virus.
The Chinese embasy in Berlin replied with an open letter "‘we regard the
style in which you 'campaign' against China in your current report on page two
as infamous... Those who do the same as you do with today's Bild newspaper fuel
nationalism, prejudice and xenophobia"....then the newspaper Bild went in
for the kill by replying ....
“You shut down every newspaper and website that is critical
of your rule, but not the stalls where bat soup is sold. You are not only
monitoring your people, you are endangering them – and with them, the rest of
the world...China enriches itself with the inventions of others, instead of
inventing on its own. The reason China does not innovate and invent is that you
don't let the young people in your country think freely. China’s greatest
export hit (that nobody wanted to have, but which has nevertheless gone around
the world) is Corona"
...then goes on to
say...
"Would you like
to explain this to the grieving widows, daughters, sons, husbands, parents of
Corona victims all over the world?"
"Your embassy
tells me that I am not living up to the "traditional friendship of our
peoples.” I suppose you consider it a great "friendship" when you now
generously send masks around the world. This isn’t friendship, I would call it
imperialism hidden behind a smile – a Trojan Horse."
"You plan to
strengthen China through a plague that you exported. You will not succeed.
Corona will be your political end, sooner or later."
....Bild pulls no
punches or hides behind any dipolmacy!!
If appears very difficult to punish the Xi regime without
harming the Chinese people and like all communist regime, unfortunately its
likely that the people it lords over will suffer the consequences. As China is
one of the permanent 5 UN countries they will most certainly veto any proposal
put down via the UN. Any thing Trump asked for in America will surely be voted
down by the Democrats in Congress (basically because he is Trump) and I can’t
see the UK growing balls anytime soon as we have already pandered to them with
5G (China actually once said they would apply trade sanctions on us if we never
used them for the 5G uk network) and looks like the whole world has ignored the
plight of the 1 million Chinese Uyghurs Muslims locked away in gulag style
prison camps in China (despite them lying to the world saying it was not so)
Surely it can’t be “business as usual” with China once this crisis is over.
How do you punish a
regime which does now have the same moralities as us, and remember, its the
regime that we need to punish and not the people, they live under the oppressive
regime and are daily victims of it.
The Communist China regime (CCP) never accepts or apologise
when they are in the wrong. Chinese morality is based on something called
Miànzi which is usually translated as face. We don’t really have this concept
in the West as such, it’s a pride thing about losing face, they will do all
they can to cover up their mistakes or crimes if discovered which looks like
what they are doing (have done) recently with the corona outbreak.
So…hit them where it hurts…their pride!
Cancel the Huawei deal first….that’s a no brainer…don’t use
them for the UK’s 5G network.
You may be aware that China have over a million Uyghurs Chinese
Muslims locked up in what they call “re-education camps” ..but are in effect concentration
camp……well lets champion the Uyghurs at every opportunity and start by re-naming
the London street that houses the Chinese embassy after a Uyghur political
prisoner, a few statues of these Uyghurs outside the Chinese Embassy would be
an idea too.
Next…lets recognise Taiwan as an independent nation, and
also lets help Hong Kong by granting British citizenship to Hong Kongers born
before 1 July 1997, their children and grandchildren. Even if just a fraction
of Hong Kong’s residents took up the opportunity, everyone would be a small
humiliation for the dictatorship (these ideas are from Stephen Daisley, a
writer from the Spectator, so I can’t take credit for them but I endorse them
fully)…
We really do need to rethink of our relationship with the
People’s Republic of China, we have turned a blind eye to their human rights
abuses far too long so we can keep getting keep getting cheap stuff but we
should now start paying attention and act more morally and ethically to what is
happening, I know we can’t hope to cease all trade as it would be too costly,
at the moment China is our second largest trading partner but we really should
try and drop it down a few rings of the ladder over the next few years and stop
being so reliant upon it.

they get their findings
