Gets better, he just said a day ago or so he knew all along that it would be a pandemic. I don't know which is worse, how fast he spun around to save face or how bad it sounds when you remember just a few weeks ago he said it didn't require a serious containment measure. If he "knew" it was a pandemic to be, then doing nothing about it for weeks is all the worse lmao.

Imagine a virus suddenly spread from a city in your country and some president from other country call it [insert country] Virus even though there is already an official name of the virus.

Imagine:
The American Virus
The US Virus
The Australian Virus
The Japanese Virus
The German Virus

Idk, sounds a bit racist to me. /shrug

Why would you post military statistics when I'm talking about an economical invasion? A country could have barely any military presence and still be able to "attack" nations through commerce and mass investment. That is precisely why it's called an economical invasion and it is the exact thing China has been doing for decades.

If you want to make an argument that the US is doing something similar to that then give examples of countries where the US is constantly buying up land, taking control of homegrown business and making the cost of living skyrocket.

You posting United States statistics has no relation to this argument and you're kind of wasting my time.


They don't buy up land, the kill people and steal it which is far worse than the Chinese do.

I know you are American because the point went right over your head.
Oh really? Go ahead and tell me what land the US has taken over which has benefited them. It sure as hell isn't anything in the middle east, the reason the US was in there was to protect assets which were already owned and to protect the global oil supply. The land still belongs to the natives and most troops were already pulled out long ago. Yet the Chinese have a monopoly on all global trade, they own literally more than half of some countries and they're still expanding their influence everywhere which has a negative impact on everyone in the global community.

Economical invasion is no less of an invasion than a militaristic one, if you're naive enough to think there's somehow a difference between them then your entire opinion has been discredited.

I mean there are only 2 likely scenarios with the corona virus and they both involved China.

1. It is an escaped bio weapon and they were too dumb to contain

2. Or China is the equivalent to a toddler that can't stop putting stupid shit in its mouth and needs to be babysat.

So calling it a Chinese virus is pretty accurate and honestly I still find it hilarious how many groups have all that Chinese money to keep fellating their oppressive regime when they caused a global pandemic

Idk, I saw someone on Twitter that put a link to an article that said why the virus and other things like it can't be named after a place. It was from an organization some years ago.

And I don't really know why some people can't understand that he is being clearly racist, there's a law to not call the virus with a nationality because that produces more racist moments, and yet, Trump and his "fake media" called it "wuhan virus" or "chinese virus".

I don't know how the idiots of the united states are going to react about this, but here where I live he would've been fired and never again ablel to be the president.

What you're not acknowledging are the well known, predictable and negative consequences that arise from calling COVID-19 "the Chinese virus" or, more generally, actively associating a virus with a particular place and thereby group of people.

(And many will face less severe forms of discrimination.) That's why it's irresponsible. People are idiots. It is well known how they will react, which is why we don't name diseases after places anymore, especially broad places like countries. I guarantee that multiple people informed Trump of this basic fact, but alas, he is himself an idiot and can't understand much of anything. That's not an excuse though, so he should be called out in this case as in all cases.

That's true since Trump is an influential figure,this act will further incentivize people to be racist.Even if it seems like a small mistake,the consequences that it has on people's mindsets and actions cannot be understated.

The Wuhan Curse might be a better term.

Kung Flu is alright.

WuTang Mystery might be the best one.

I'm sorry we're not PC enough, we shouldn't be literal, we should invent stuff to save the emotions of the CCP who's trying to say America started it. But I get that we should be sensitive to Asian people around the world.

And yet we didn't call it 'Asian Flu'. And we DID call it Spanish Flu. So...

Also Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Maybe we should literally call it 'China's Disease'? But I like coronavirus better.

Trump calls it 'the unseen' which makes it sound pretty cool. Honestly PBS sounds stupid when they try to nitpick PC stuff, you're trying to get Trump to win 2020 with that stuff.

PS: Calling it Chinese Virus isn't racist. It's a fucking literal description of objective truth. You want racism then come on down to the border!

Exactly, nitpicking stuff doesn't do anything. I'm a hard leftie, and I'm 100% fine with what the Donald called Coronavirus... Everyone knows that the Chinese were fucking around with bats, and look where that got them.

And of course, Xi decided to cover it up, which actually made the virus propagate throughout the masses.


there are more pressing issues to be worried about at this moment. Such as the threat of an economic downturn.

Fucking ridiculous. The people who first started calling it "Wuhan virus" was Hong Kong. And a lot of people called it Wuhan virus before it was given the name COVID 19. China is one of the least racially sensitive countries in the world, the only reason they are making a fuss about this is because they justifiably got internationally roasted for weeks for lying about the virus. Now they are desperately trying to save face by blaming the US and saying we launched a bioweapons attack on them. Fucking ridiculous.

Didn't also China blame the USA for the virus?
I think this is the war between China and USA, China tries to do their war with small subtle attacks while the USA goes all out. That is the Chinese way, and bad for them is that this USA president is not holding back. Which I like honestly, I am not a fan or supporter or Trump, and I do not hate USA or China (well I do not like thier gov at all to be honest, after 2 years living in China I got to know the good and bad of it), but I like to at least hear something that sounds like the truth from presidents.

Anyway it's not that big of a deal in my eyes, as I remember being called a laowai a lot in China which is a racist term to call a foreigner as I later found out( or at least it seems so as everytime I got called that people were pointing at me and wanting to take pictures like I am some kind of animal).

But in the end, let's see it like this, Globalism took a big hit due to the Corona Virus, China is the only country profiting from it.....it created panic everywhere(with good reason) yet no one will change anything after it's over, I can bet my cats on it.

The US's incompetence shouldn't be let off the hook, but the US's incompetence comes in lack of preparation for this. China on the other hand, kept secrets and lied to the world and their lies put us all in danger.

Also I agree that China and Chinese people in general(not all) are Racist, I even got called ugly because I have a slightly darker skin tone(arabic sort of) and one of my friends form the USA(an african-american) was told not to touch anyone because he is African and has aids probably. And that was in South China where they are more open to the Western world, I won't even start with the stories from Wuhan and central china.

The word "racism" means nothing to the CCP. They are just trying to weaponize it in order to cause internal conflict within the West and deflate any criticism directed at the Chinese Communist Party for their cover-up.

In fact, the Chinese state-run media themselves were using the term Wuhan virus since January before they decided to blame the US military for it.

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

If you name it something like Wuhan virus no one will go to Wuhan in the next 50 years. It’s not about offending people, it’s about making sure you don’t ruin a cities tourism industry. It’s fairly obvious that people living in Wuhan won’t be too appreciative of the name “Wuhan Virus.”
Influenza (Spanish Flu), MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) and a lot of other diseases are named after places. WHY NOT THIS ONE?

Bush (Referring to when they were elected, not now, as they are retired or deceased.) But we can't, so we'll have to get on with our lives until next election.

Back to what I was saying, Trump didn't say anything about the people of China. He only said that the COVID-19 was a "Chinese virus", due to the epicenter being in Mainland China.

When China does it it's a virus and when America does the same it's spreading freedom and prosperity, right? Heh
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.

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.

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.
