chinavirus is making friends worldwide.

Quote:
The editor of a Chinese state media publication has described Australia as 'gum stuck to the bottom of our shoe' as the relationship between the once-friendly nations wanes during the coronavirus crisis.

Australia is standing firm on its calls for an independent probe into the origins of COVID-19, sparking fury among Chinese diplomats who have threatened to cut economic ties with the country.

China has repeatedly refused to welcome an international investigation into the outbreak, most recently describing the demands of Australia as 'political manoeuvring'.

I see an opportunity here; all the western nations and few of the European nations all call for an investigation of China - China threatens to cut economic ties with the lot of them --- problem solved. China goes back to the third world status of wet markets and bear penis eating it seems comfortable with and we develop a huge economic union without China.

Its better to not have economic ties with China than to end up completely dependent on them!

I see nuclear devices landing in lots of major cities if these politicians don't shut up and leave it alone. This virus is making people crazy.

A ruined economy will make them crazier. Then you might REALLY see bombs dropping.

This is all just posturing.

China gets a huge amount of raw materials from Australia, they're just saving face here.

The CCP Virus has destroyed the CCP's credibility. One must seriously wonder why anyone ever trusted them in the first place. They've pretty much lied nonstop since Mao overthrew Chiang. They lie about everything. I think a CCP member coming face to face with actual unvarnished truth would receive 3rd degree burns all over their body from it and their head would explode. Think vampire stepping out into direct sunlight.

To be clear though, they're not Communists anymore. What do you call a hyper-capitalistic, highly authoritarian, highly racist, highly xenophobic government that believes they are the master race destined to rule the world because their race is inherently superior to all others? You'd call them Nazis. The CCP traded in all their red stars for swastikas decades ago. I have no idea why they insist on continuing to call themselves Communists. Communism is probably worse overall, but Chinese Nazism dumps the failed economic system, making them a much greater threat to everyone.

Communism is about how they operate their country and run their citizens into the ground.

This virus and the way they are handling it is just evil and deceptive.
