China is indeed very divise for our global powerstructures.

This Video shows a WHO official battling with this(if you want to look kindly upon him): https://twitter.com/nathanlawkc/status/1243889673207832577

What bugs me is that I'm really unsure if I should post anything critical of China, it's scary what that could mean for my family 30 years down the road.

I thought the same and I have no family ties there. (Though back in the early 00's I had fun studying in China and had wished to return.)

I'm more worried about what happens if we don't speak out. While we need to fix our Western democracies, we can't ignore the biggest threat to freedom in the world.

I think this virus situation could potentially unite the world in looking critically at supply chains and the CCP's motives and behavior.

When this is all over, I hope every county tallies the bill for the virus and subtracts that from their debt to China. The CCP lied, hid information, and told us to keep travel open while simultaneously welding people inside their homes. They then shifted blame to the West and threatened to cut off critical medical supplies. It's worse than negligent, and they should lose their investments overseas to repay the damage done.

What are the British thinking? Do they think they'll get a better deal from China than the US? Or is their intention to use this as a bargaining chip against the US?

Thinking?

Telcos want to deploy 5G, customers aren't willing to pay more for it.

So they want to do it as cheaply as possible.

The chilling effect is very real. Beware everyone.

Where is the press over this?

Does someone have a source without this nonsense? https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers?sessionId=3_...

"Privacy Badger detected 27 potential trackers on this page."

I'm a pretty new user, but gee, I don't think I've seen a third that many on a page before.

This rhetoric against China, legitimate or not, seems like a precursor to war. I wish somebody would investigate if a troll factory is behind it or if it truly is a popular opinion.
