You owe several $TRILLION to the rest of the world from whom you stole so much (and then claim to be the greatest nation on Earth).

If I beat up people and stole all their stuff, I'd be wealthy and great, too.
are you talking about the opium wars? that's neither here nor there.
if reparations are to be paid (and I don't believe china has requested any), this is not the way to accomplish that (if we assume china is to blame, which I have not seen sufficient evidence for this to be the case).

That's literally everything conservatives have been selling for the last 6 months.

If conservatives were in china's position in q4 2019, there wouldn't be an iota difference in what they would've done.
The irony.

It won't happen under Biden. Sorry. It's over. China will be running the world in 5 years.

china was poised to surpass us regardless of who was in charge, economically speaking.
having the largest population and being the world's factory, and now a technological force will do that for you.

Stop making excuses for the Chicoms. The virus originated there and they did nothing to contain it. It's their fault that it spread all over the world.

Yet you had to find a way to blame Trump for this, didn't you? Meanwhile, you let other countries' leaders off the hook? Seriously, get a grip already

The Trump virus may have originated in China but President Trump sure did nothing to help with the matter. Even as of today he's claiming to work harder in the past 3 weeks than he's done in his entire life which is pretty pathetic given this country has had a pandemic on a daily basis for the past 11 months.

America will never forget that this president focused on himself instead of focusing on the American people.
