Right, so what does organ harvesting have to do with the virus? Or is this more shit flinging at another country?

1. They don't literally have a monopoly. China has unique conditions that allow it to thrive. It is resource rich and there is the availability of cheap labour so it's cheaper to manufacture parts there. Similar in parts of Africa but their infrastructure isn't as developed as China.

2. There isn't a single part of the US that isn't land that was stolen or purchased. It's not China that owns this land it's Chinese companies just the same as the US owns land in other countries. It's a non argument. It has nothing to do withwwhat you were saying. I'm sure everywhere you go in Australia you have a KFC, McDonalds, Starbucks etc...

3. You're joking right? There isn't a time that goes by where there is a reminder of how abusive and oppressive the police system in the US is.

It is the Chinese virus because it came from China. There is nothing racist about using a regional or country designation of where a virus came from.

Oh good lord where are you even coming up with these ideas? Are you brainwashed or something? Please tell me you're joking.


NUMBER 1.

What are you even saying? lmaooooo are you kidding me right now? THEY HAVE A MONOPOLY PRECISELY BECAUSE THEIR PRICES ARE SO LOW. Everyone uses China, you can't get better prices than buying from China and therefore no other county/business can compete with them which makes them a single party that controls it. That's a monopoly, they have a literal monopoly on not on manufacturing but other areas as well.




NUMBER 2.

The history of the US's own land and the history of China's own land have NO VALUE IN THIS DEBATE. Why even bring it up? I'm talking about a nation, A NATION, AS IT IS NOW, going and taking EVEN MORE LAND and economically damaging other nations. The US CANNOT be compared to China in this regard what so ever, not only does the US barely send it's citizens out to colonize areas where it's tried to gain influence [for example you don't see a lot of Americans living/gaining education in Japan, The Middle east or ANY OTHER AREA THEY'VE HAD INFLUENCE IN, PERIOD].

The Chinese are CONSTANTLY sending their people to other nations for education, buying up EVERYTHING and crippling home grown markets, they buy land, they buy product, they buy entire business, they even influence politics to allow them to buy even MORE. Are you even aware of Australia's policy for foreign investors? You literally don't even have had to step into the country a SINGLE TIME to be able to invest, buy and influence the economy in any form you'd want to. The Chinese are literally sitting in Bejing playing fucking monopoly and you're going to tell me the US is doing the same thing? Where the hell do you even live mate?

Once I again I repeat, an economical invasion serves to undermine a country, topple home grown business and gain immense influence in the same way a militaristic occupation would, without a single troop nor gunshot. You obviously haven't been to Australia or you would realize how ignorant you're sounding by trying to compare a global fast food branch to literally TRILLIONS of dollars being pumped into land, THOUSANDS of hotels being constructed, homegrown business's being COMPLETELY bought out and taken control of and the price of living SKYROCKETING because of how much money these people are willing to spend. So even with KFC, Carls Jr and Mc donalds making let's be generous and say 25b each anually [carls jr is estimated to make to 21 b where as mcdonalds is 22b and KFC is around the same]. So let's say China own's IN LAND ONLY about half of Queensland, which is 926 500 000km's, of course this amount is spread across all states in Australia in various locations/industries, the land cost alone for all that is EASILY the same as ANY us franchise in the US and when you add the amount for construction and every other associated fee or investment from hotels being built, homes, offices, warehousing etc etc the amount is astronomical.

And you want to know what's funny about that? THAT'S JUST AUSTRALIA LMAO, the annual revenue for KFC, mcdonalds and carls jr include EVERY country, including the US where they're making the most money and considering you can find a KFC in even Mauritius of all places they're literally EVERYWHERE.

The Chinese own the west, there's nothing more that needs to be said. They reign with such economical supremacy that it's insane and in the end regardless of actual scale of investment they're doing it with cause that undermines the nation they're investing[invading] in. Will a KFC, MCDonalds, Carls JR damage Australia? Fuck no, it provides jobs and more money flow. Will massive land grabs, private homes/"hotels"/offices for foreign use help Australia? Of course not, the majority of the land being bought up hasn't even been built on and it's simply sitting there in limbo because some fuck in Bejing wanted it, all the while the prices soar and causes the normal aussie to struggle to invest/pay even more money for when they want to buy a house.


NUMBER 3.

Oh be quiet, if you think you can compare the CCP to US law enforcement you're more delusional than someone who thinks the earth is flat. Where'd you get that idea from? The masses who follow false information on twitter all day and love to soak in their hate? Despite everything literally being distorted to fit a hate agenda? Or are you just naive? and have no clue how ruthless true "enforcers of the peace" can be? Do you even know what police do in the US? Do you know their education/training? Do you know their protocols? Do you know the laws they follow? Have you examined dozens upon dozens of uncut body cam footage directly released from US law enforcement instead of snippets of distorted crap found by people promoting an agenda?

If you'd done any of these things you'd realize how uneducated you're coming off as right now.

traed said:

1. That's not a literal monopoly but a virtual monopoly. I was just explaining you sounded exaggerative and how it doesn't have anything to do with the government at least not directly. Seriously what do you even want? China to end all trade? To raise minimum wage? To be nuked to a crater? To declair war on them and take all their resources? What?

2. The American living in Australia complaining about Chinese owning land in other countries than China. Priceless....

3. No, I'm not compairing directly. Each country has their own unique problems.

All the problems you have with the CCP isnt that unique to it or China in general is the point and I'm trying to help you be aware of that. It's neocolonialism and capitalism. If it wasn't China it would be someone else.

Cneq said:


Number 1.

Yes, I believe China should be kicked down a peg and for all global powers to increase their own productivity and independence. I care not for China but I care for what's best for the broader global community.


Number 2.

Are you that fucking ignorant mate? I'm not an "American" living in Australia, I'm an Australian as well, a complete dual citizen. The Chinese that are investing here are foreign nationals without even permanent residency and most of them invest without even stepping foot in this country like I said.

It sounds like you have a critical lack of understanding when it comes to matters outside your own country so I don't think you're qualified to discuss this unless you educate yourself.

Number 3.

Yet you've draw comparisons this entire time to the US and China. Instead of looking like a hyopcrite maybe own up and admit you're uneducated and made a bad comparison between the severity of China's law enforcement and the US.


"All the problems you have with the CCP isnt that unique to it or China in general is the point and I'm trying to help you be aware of that. It's neocolonialism and capitalism. If it wasn't China it would be someone else."

No kidding, no one said it's unique to china nor did did I say it couldn't be someone else. Who are you even talking to lol?

How is it racist? He is simply stating that the coronavirus originated in China by saying, "China Virus". I say the same thing too (with no intent to be racist) and only recently found out he calls the coronavirus the "Chinese Virus".

I'm pretty much angry at the Chinese people for intentionally taking medicine to hide their symptoms and spreading the disease to other countries. Most normal people that are sick tend to stay home but for some strange reason the Chinese people feel the urge to travel around the world and to different countries - now a lot of other countries are suffering due to China's constant policy failures, ignorant and arrogant population, lack of hygienic procedures, bad, dangerous and hazardous cultural habits. I'm sorry, if this upsets some people, but some cultures just don't deserve to be followed because they are NOT good for this ecosystem.

There's widespread lock downs taking place in other countries, people are not getting proper medical care, many are ending up dead from preventable disease because they can't see any doctors because the medical system is busy dealing with COVID-19.

Poor countries can't afford ventilators and other necessary equipment, medicine and precautionary items to fight COVID-19.

China has opened Pandora's Box once again and unleashed it onto the world. Most sane nations end up learning from previous mistakes, but for some strange reason China loves to repeat those over and over. They should have learnt a lesson from the 2003 SARS outbreak, despite that they continued to have wet markets open, despite that the local Wuhan government took the disease lightly and allowed it to spread until a sizable number of infected individuals began to rush to the hospitals.

China deserves criticism. Many people have died world wide, a vaccine is 18 months away and the virus is continuously mutating, it's already has different types of strains. If people that get infected a second time have an even more dangerous and grim prognosis.

1. The US doesn't have a monopoly on HUNDREDS of areas of commerce like China does [Medicine, plastics, manufacturing, just about anything you can think of has some part of it made in China and since countries decided for China to be the scapegoat of pollution since they didn't want to make that trash in their own countries they decided to let china do it, not to mention the literal slave labour going on there which in turn = cheaper prices for manufacturing.

2. The US isn't constantly buying up land in foreign countries and in turn rising the cost of living for the natives. The Chinese own at least 50% of Australia and this has crippled home grown companies and have caused others to completely shut their doors, for example holden cars.

3. The US doesn't treat their people like garbage nor do they run a police state where speaking out against a government official will land you behind bars.


You can't even compare China to the US, it's completely fucking impossible. While I do hate China for what they've done it doesn't mean I don't respect the power they control nor the trials they had to go through to get there, even if that form of power is of the oppressive and morally grey variety, power and cunning is still power and cunning.

The Chinese were victims of the exact type of self-reliance back with the opium wars and they learned the value of international trade and relations and now it's come right around to bite the west in the ass.

The USA has treaties with countries, they just don't storm in and set up a base and operate there indefinitely.

Some news outlets are now calling it the 'CCP Virus'.

finestseeker17 said:

No sh*t, dude.

Just like how MERS originated from the Middle East cause people there hung out & maybe ate some camels.

Seriously, though, not funny, man. No coincidences. They ate bats, dogs, monkeys & birds in China. So, yeah.. I regret reading your fifth tier comedy post.

Heimur said:

Lmao, people who act like if stating facts about where a disease started it's racism.

calling this one a chinese virus isnt correct........

almost all such viruses came from those chinese fuckers raping random animals and getting infected with their viruses....

Influenza (Spanish Flu), MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) and a lot of other diseases are named after places. WHY NOT THIS ONE?

WHO said:
8 MAY 2015 | GENEVA - WHO today called on scientists, national authorities and the media to follow best practices in naming new human infectious diseases to minimize unnecessary negative effects on nations, economies and people.

“In recent years, several new human infectious diseases have emerged. The use of names such as ‘swine flu’ and ‘Middle East Respiratory Syndrome’ has had unintended negative impacts by stigmatizing certain communities or economic sectors,” says Dr Keiji Fukuda, Assistant Director-General for Health Security, WHO. “This may seem like a trivial issue to some, but disease names really do matter to the people who are directly affected. We’ve seen certain disease names provoke a backlash against members of particular religious or ethnic communities, create unjustified barriers to travel, commerce and trade, and trigger needless slaughtering of food animals. This can have serious consequences for peoples’ lives and livelihoods.

[...]

Terms that should be avoided in disease names include geographic locations (e.g. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Spanish Flu, Rift Valley fever), people’s names (e.g. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Chagas disease), species of animal or food (e.g. swine flu, bird flu, monkey pox), cultural, population, industry or occupational references (e.g. legionnaires), and terms that incite undue fear (e.g. unknown, fatal, epidemic).”
