Maybe spend some time to think about if there are other possible options. It might take a while but just try, and they try a little harder.

Here is a hint: There is more than just black and white.

Exactly - it's not just "one or the other".  I can detest Trump for not keeping his campaign promises, and still not take the side of the CCP, who blocked Wuhan-residents from access to the rest of China, while letting them travel to the rest of the world. 

Don't be surprised to see Pompeo for POTUS in 2024.  I am rooting for Kobach, but the way this thing is going, I would not be surprised.

So is this thread now about Trump? Or is it about Pompeo's statements on Chinas culpability in this global pandemic.  

this thread is about pompeo AND trump blaming china.  if you read the article, they both have made UNSUBSTANTIATED accusations that the virus escaped from a wuhan lab. 

 

"Pompeo said there was "a significant amount of evidence" the virus emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology"

 

"Trump was asked last week if he had seen evidence that gave him a "high degree of confidence" that the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and replied that he had"

 

yes, this is about their statements.  they need to provide a significant amount of proof or ALL their claims lack credibility.

 

and it's now about trump's latest blunder, claiming that many deaths are fake news.  doctor trump has decided that the death toll from the virus is about the same as the common flu.  so in that case, it matters not one whit whether china concealed information or silenced whistleblowers.  it's just the flu, bro!

Okay, black and white.

Where did it start: China, USA, somewhere in between?

Who kept quiet about it for too long: China, USA?

Who silenced medics who sent out warnings: USA, China?

Who refuses to co-operate?

Who is influencing, blackmailing WHO, countries worldwide?

My answers: CHINA.

Same China that now likes to pretend as if they are the benefactors of the world, sending mountcaps (inferior most of the time) to countries who hail China (have to hail, because they are financially depending on imperialistic China).

And yes: Trump, like many other countries took matters serious too late.

After the war Germany did a "Wiedergutmachung" . To whom in China can we send the bill??

Sure, and rightfully so, but since you are just an 'observer' why is it that everyone who is so hyper-opinionated about Trump and his AG that they are willing to forgive and forget Chinas role in the pandemic, their coverups, their disappearing of journalists and doctors, their extreme censorship and control over their populations, their threats to western nations calling for inquiries, their disinformation campaigns on western social media that they themselves ban from their own population.... 

 

I could go on for days, but you know, Trump. Or something ????

Trump was full of praise for China’s response to the Coronavirus right up

until his own failings to deal with the threat started costing tens of thousands of American lives.

 

At that point he needed a distraction and started his China blaming game.

Heard this waffle before when the world was told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and the US had 'overwhelming evidence' even though the inspectors found nothing. And after the illegal invasion, nothing was found.

The scientific experts have explained that the virus has not been man-made or laboratory modified but that is an inconvenient truth. It doesn't fit in with the re-election plans so better to make up some fake bogeyman story for the masses. Depends who you want to believe really - the expert scientists reporting on evidence or a power crazed old man desperate for attention.

Deflect,deflect,deflect. China has been sharing information with many allies particularly Thailand. Perhaps the USA could have asked them?

 

It could be an election winner like the immigration push 4 years ago and Biden does not appear to be any sort of opposition. Typical Trump, find a focus for the hate and push,push,push. 

 

Looks like "Chaina" not Covid (say it quietly) is the hate factor and POTUS is very good at stirring up hate.

Your post makes no sense. If China shared something with Thailand, then surely Thailand would have shared it with the world.

 

I dare you to prove your second sentence. 

 

Can you?  Dare you?

China’s Wuhan coverup and denials have brought the world to its knees.  Look at unemployment figures.  Look at world markets.  Why do liberals give CCP a pass?

In answer to your question, a look at the timelines might give you a clue......

 

In late November 2019 China reported that a new viral type of pneumonia had been discovered (but knew very little about it).

 

They issued a second warning in late December and on January 11th registered their first death.

 

On January 14 the WHO virologist (an American) issued a warning that a new viral type of pneumonia, which up until that time had killed only a few dozen people in China, had the potential to become a worldwide pandemic if steps were not taken. According to Reuters in Geneva, WHO said there may have been limited human-to-human transmission of a new coronavirus in China within families, and it is possible there could be a wider outbreak.

 

On January 30 the World Health Organisation issued its highest level warning with regard to the virus.

 

Now I fail to see how anybody could have done anything else than what was done at the time, and the reason it has spread and tens of thousands have died, along with world markets dying as well, is because countries like the UK and US did not take the same actions as the likes of Germany.

 

Remember that often as not a virus cannot be identified "overnight" and scaremongering does nothing to help anybody, but the fact that countries took up to 6 to 8 weeks (the US in particular) to act upon what was then becoming fairly clear with regards to a possible pandemic, needs to be taken into consideration, because it's that which has assisted the spread of this virus.

You left out quite a bit:

 

1.  China destroying the virus data in December.

2.  WHO conspiring with China claiming it was not spread person to person.

3.  China hiding that person to person spreading from the world.

4.  China denying access to foreign scientists to come see the infection first hand.

 

You conveniently left much out ... why?

 

Countries like the USA and UK wouldn't have to take any steps if they had been warned in December.  The Chinese government deliberately murdered people around the world due their actions.

 

Their actions were deliberate.

And all of that information you posted relies on China being truthful, which its proven that they were not - and actively tried to silence reports and information in the early stages.

1. Not true, genetic code was made public.

2. Not true, both claimed differently from what you're saying.

3. Seems correct.

4. WHO was there, so not true. If you mean now, true, neither would any of the western countries, so irrelevant.

Mike Pompous is a jerk. He should call up Neil Ferguson at Imperial College as he is cleaning out his locker and get some advice on fraud alerts. 

[Ketyo]

Oh no. I hope the health crisis that is turning into an economic disaster doesn't turn into a security catastrophe.

 

But a lot of them right wing nationalist populists that are in power now, like Trump and Pompeo and Navarro might use this crisis to go after their long-term enemy. China. It's perfectly set up for them to start a fight. 

 

Where are the cool heads and mainstream sensible people that can reign in the reckless ones with hatred in their hearts. The adults with good judgment. Boris? No. Prayut? No.

Domestic critics of President Donald Trump, including some former officials, academics and columnists, have said that while China has much to answer for in terms of its actions in the early days of the outbreak, the U.S. administration is seeking to deflect attention from what they see as a slow U.S. response.

this is all small potatoes.  we have "significant evidence" that proves to a "high degree of confidence" that the virus escaped from the wuhan lab.  all that other stuff is now irrelevant.  they let the virus out, they're responsible.

 

the evidence is what matters.  i for one am eagerly awaiting the presentation at the united nations.  wonder if they'll call back general powell to run the show?  he can shake some wee, tiny vials of powdered corona, maybe draw infection zones on a map with a sharpie. 

 

we're gonna need a bigger tub of popcorn!

You are right on this particular point. The reasons about it are not clear.

It is interesting to note that the information comes from Gaixin, a media group based in Beijing and therefore subject to CCP's censorship.
