China not only lied, destroyed evidence and allowed the virus to spread but it arrested doctors who in December tried to warn the world about what was happening in Wuhan.

My column in today’s @theheraldsun on why China must be held accountable.
heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/r…
How many lives would have been saved if China had listened to experts instead of silencing them? A study by the University of Southampton suggests China could have prevented 95% of infections if it had implemented tough measures 3 weeks earlier.

If we want to stop the next pandemic it’s important to hold China’s feet to the fire & ensure they take meaningful measures to mitigate the risks of another crisis. This isn’t the first pandemic to originate from a Chinese wet market....
heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/r…
Chinese wet markets are not only horrifically cruel but they’re also dangerous & behind multiple global pandemics. I’ve written about them but I won’t share the videos, they’re too distressing. You can’t unsee the horror of a dog being boiled alive.

This is Home Secretary Priti Patel...and this is how the Guardian sees her. Pack of racist, reality-denying, cretinous bullies. ImageImage
This is a Guardian cartoon of Theresa May. For a publication obsessed with racism & sexism they’re pretty racist & sexist. Image
Margaret Thatcher inspired Priti Patel to join the conservatives. Both female British prime ministers have been Tories & Patel would make it a trifecta.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, renowned director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases, who the media claimed had been silenced by the Trump administration (he wasn’t) praises the early travel bans in halting the spread of coronavirus in America.
Here’s Dr Fauci stepping in to correct the fake news the media was circulating.

This is real rape culture. It happened in the UK... and not just Rotherham. This dereliction of duty & fear of “appearing racist” was repeated far & wide. Thousands of girls & young women were abused & raped.

Wrote this about grooming gangs back in 2018... Decency and the rule of law were sacrificed for “community cohesion” and “cultural sensitivity”.

‘A senior police officer admitted that his force ignored the sexual abuse of girls by Pakistani grooming gangs for decades because it was afraid of increasing “racial tensions”, a watchdog has ruled.’

🇨🇳 #China (1) | The question is no longer if, but how hard, the #coronavirus will damage Chinese economy (and its trading partners) in 1Q20.
🇨🇳 #China (2) | A blockage of 16 cities (~50 million people) coupled with the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday and prohibition for Cos to return to work soon implies that 1Q will fall below 6% for the first time since QoQ figures are recorded.
🇨🇳 #China (3) | The impact will probably broaden from retail sales, tourism/transportation...

#China could cut off vital supply of drugs to #America and even add lethal contaminants if trade war escalates, defense experts warn - "Basically we've outsourced our entire industry to China" dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
China dominates the global pharmaceuticals market & could monopolize it
China could 'weaponize' and hold drugs ransom
Not only that but it is feared Beijing could add lethal contaminants to supplies
US hospitals and military hospitals could shutdown within months, experts claim
China could cut off America's drugs supply and hold lives ransom if the trade war escalates, defense experts warn.

Decades ago penicillin, vitamin C, and many other medicines were made in the US. Now they are made in the Far East.

Pakistan formally called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss India revoking the special status to Jammu and Kashmir, foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi recently said.
The diplomat said that China also submitted a formal request for such a meeting but Poland has to consult and take into account preferences of other Council members before deciding on time and date for the meeting.

#China's Xi will meet with Kim Jong Un in #NorthKorea this Thursday & Friday (June 20 to 21).

South Korea stated that it'll involve denuclearization talks.

Of course this'll be right before the G20, where Trump might meet with Xi.
So, will China tell North Korea to completely denuclearize in exchange for removal of US tariffs?

Or will we soon see more long range missiles shooting out of North Korea?
Also don't forget that Xi just had meetings with Russia's Putin as well:

#China Belt and Road Initiative Explained Thread 👇

#BRI (via @IIF )
1) Invest billions in countries every other investor in the history of the world whether public or private has passed over because of corruption, crime, weak institutions, no education, list goes on infinitely
2) Realize that those countries (or projects) will never be able to repay the debt for the investment but it's ok because #China gains geopolitical and military influence

(one wonders why nobody has has sought this type of influence in the past, except for the Soviets)

#China's Military Modernization Push Remains a Work in Progress - China trails the #US in terms of nuclear attack submarines, aerial refueling & a sufficient amphibious capacity, & it is unlikely to close the gap in the immediate future. worldview.stratfor.com/article/chinas…
Over the past 20 years, China has made tremendous progress in improving its military capabilities, but its modernization program will remain a work in progress in the decade to come.
China trails the US in terms of nuclear attack submarines, aerial refueling & amphibious capacity. Beijing will continue to develop its capabilities on these fronts, but based on current projections, it will not reach parity with the US by 2030.
