The link given is to a website that goes well beyond the “extremist” and totally “fake” news. How someone who touts or even reads that total garbage is allowed to share his/her opinion is a real challenge to our country and free speech.

Eritrea - Wikipedia

Isaias Afwerki - Wikipedia

Looks like North Korea and Eritrea are the only totalitarian countries in the world in 2021. China does have some checks-and-balances and the Olympics being there in 2022 create more of these. They will try to put on a good face to the world.

I believe that the Chinese are trying to get at the facts as best they can about the origin of COVID-19 because of all the attention brought on by the 2022 Olympics.

Not exactly. Edward Teller, who along with Ulam developed the strategy for the fusion bomb, suggested that the fission reaction of the Trinity test device might cause sufficient heat for a self sustaining fusion reaction of hydrogen (in the atmosphere) atoms to helium and extinguish life on earth. Fusion reactions do not generate long lived radioactive byproducts so radiation was not the concern. Burning up the atmosphere was the concern. Oppenheimer, the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, was sufficiently concerned that he directed Teller, and someone else I can't remember, to investigate whether this could really happen. Based on energy budget considerations, they determined that a world wide fusion reaction could not happen so the Trinity test proceeded. Teller, who was really more interested in a fusion device (aka the "Super") than the fission devices the Manhattan Project was working on, was in the unique position to suggest the possibility and also to do the analysis to prove it wasn't a possibility. I had the good fortune to see Teller speak some time ago.

No fault ever comes your way…..there is always a “yeah but”

This entire line of attempted defamation has been debunked so many times over and over, and the entire line of these continuing assaults since May of 2020 (not sure about the date, but close).

It is yet another untruth wrapped in headlines that only certain folks will fall for.

Very true. If you don't listen to or read the news you are not informed; if you do listen to or read the news you are misinformed.
CNN and their ilk, slant everything to the left, Fox, and their ilk, slant everything to the right. Which is why I rely on my own common sense.

You are so right, the Chinese don't care about their own people, they were restricting them on how many children each family could have. They are evil people in China!

air pollution. Can you believe we saved the Chinese from being taken over by Japan ? I believe most Chinese want their freedom.
Any war with them and you could see majority of their military surrender.

Why do you feel getting angry is going to help anyone? It seems to me you are trying to create more hate and that is the last thing this country needs.

IMHO blaming China for the US's problems is a clever design to DEFLECT attention and blame away from RUSSIA - which has a greater interest in seeing the US FAIL than China because of our great trade with China and virtually none with RUSSIA.

Of course, this virus was generated by the Chinese in their own labs and then purposely released to the world. That's what they do.
