If China doesn't have to pay bigly for the China virus they will do it again

First let me be clear I don't think that the China virus was a weaponized military agent.

Nor do I believe that the Chinese deliberately released the virus to hurt the world.

But it is undeniable that for weeks the Chinese Communist government covered up the virus and lied to the world about the nature of the virus.

Chinese doctors who were raising red flags, which one would think would be considered a good thing in Red China, were forced to "confess" to crimes and ordered to not discuss the disease.

The Chinese knew by late December that the virus was in fact being transmitted between people; a key indicator of a potential pandemic agent.

Yet they lied to the world and to WHO.  

The Chinese government allowed millions of people to leave Wuhan province after they knew that those people could be infected with a highly transmissible disease.

The used political pressure to limit travel restrictions to China even as they banned flights from Wuhan to Beijing.

A study showed that if the Chinese government had acted 3 weeks sooner, which they could have done, the number of cases of COVID19 in China would have been only 5% of what they were.  

With that few cases it's likely there wouldn't have been a pandemic.

There is no question that the Chinese communists engaged in a massive coverup which resulted in the  current pandemic.

However covering up things is that happens in socialist societies where the press is the lap dog of the government.  Hence this coverup was most likely the result of local Communist tyrants hiding facts that would make them look bad not some centrally controlled conspiracy to launch a global pandemic.

That's the good news. The bad news is that what the Chinese fascists are seeing is that since they don't care about deaths in China, unless it's the ruling elite who are dying, China is going to get out of this disaster pretty well.

In fact the Chinese are already using the pandemic their incompetence and dishonesty created to gain control overseas by selling products and pretending to act in a humanitarian way.

Their vicious oppression of freedom loving residents of Hong Kong and their invasion of India are all being ignored by the western press whose only concern is blaming Trump for the crimes of the Chinese government and the Democrat politicians who control the police department whose officer was involved in George Floyds death.

If the lesson China's tyrant learns from this is that unleashing a pandemic helps China and hurts China's enemies more than it hurts China we can expect this to be the first in a long series of "accidental" pandemics.

Remember most of the serious viral outbreaks have come from China:

• 1956: Bird Flu killed between 1 and 4 million people world wide
• 1968 Hong Kong Flu 1 to 4 million died

So it's easy to imagine China releasing a "natural" virus and using its people as a distribution mechanism to infect the world if the tyrant running China thinks that he will personally be safe and that he will benefit as China appears to be benefiting from the coronavirus.

Remember the people who rule China had no problem running thousands of unarmed democracy protesters over with tanks so they won't care about the human suffering their actions will cause.

All they care about is whether or not it will advance their own interests.

That's why the civilized countries of the world have to unite and punish China for deliberately concealing critical information about the virus.

If China gets away with this "accident" they will do it again in order to gain power.
