r*s 发帖数: 2555 | 1 China: A country that the White House has called a "strategic competitor"; a
country engaged in active influence operations against us; a country the
State Department describes as an authoritarian state that engages in gross
human rights abuses; a country that the White House said has "consistently
taken advantage of the US economy"; a country whose leadership Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo described as a "substantial threat to our health and way
of life"; a country Trump administration officials are blaming for covering
up the truth about the coronavirus outbreak.
China: The country the United States is relying on to supply equipment to
save American lives.
In a perverse -- and avoidable -- twist of fate, the country that was
arguably responsible for the virus' spread because of its attempts to cover
up the initial outbreak is now the one best positioned to profit from its
fatal impact.
The US intelligence community has warned that China is intent on expanding
its global economic reach. Now, as the epicenter of the pandemic has shifted
to the United States with more than 300,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 as
of April 4, Trump's lack of preparation has given China an opening to expand
that reach quickly. |
