    China also has something to gain by dumping US Treasury Bonds. They have been trying to get the world to us the Chinese Yuan as the world's surplus cash. By devaluing the US Dollar and strengthening the Yuan they take a huge step in that direction. A key component in the US being one of the strongest currencies in the world's international exchange is done in US Currency. China suffers from something known as the middle earth syndrome. They actually believe that their civilizations have lasted longer then all others, and that the world should pass through them.

    As far as the US selling weapons to the PRC (Mainland China) up until the '80's you are mistaken. We sold weapons to the ROC (Taiwan).

    The same idiots who say it's xenophobic to blame them for A: The spread of the virus, B: Refusal to give the information and C: Their refusal to cooperate in beating the thing.

    A: You blame them for spreading the virus? Do you blame your friends if you get a cold or just accept that is the way viruses are spread?
    B: What information have they refused to give?
    C: What cooperation have they refused? As soon as they isolated the virus, samples were sent to every country

    So, who are the idiots?

    You're in the thread where that information is readily available to you. Go look back at page one. And yes, I will always blame the Chinese for what has occurred here.

    You mean the fake news that states that China are withholding drugs to Americans, you know, the drugs they actually need for their own population and the link states:
    "The global spread of the coronavirus has started to affect the supply of antibiotics and vitamins out of India and China."

    Perhaps you can explain which antibiotics are being referred to here and how vitamins can be used to treat Corona virus victims? Oh, the link also mentions India not mentioned in the OP and it's strange that the link does not mention that UK manufacturers and other countries are are also keeping their home produced products for home use

    Oh, and there aren't any "life-saving Coronavirus drugs"

    Maybe the ones we use to cure our colds will help out since it's the same virus family?

    But there is no cure or vaccine for this virus and the vaccines for the seasonal flu is not in short supply and are not effective on the Coronavirus.

    Correct. China has no "cure" or "vaccine" for Coronavirus. What they have is "a plan". Apparently a very good one.

    I'll post this again in case it was missed:

    Trump's "corona hysteria" has taught Americans a number of lessons concerning Fake Don. His erratic swing from pretending to have the pandemic "under control" - "not a problem!" - to his uber-socialist "Money for everybody!" panacea has been quite the reassuring roller coaster approach to governance.

    Yes, his preaching that anthropogenic climate change is a "Chinese hoax!" was a radical departure from scientific consensus that highlighted his unique perspective.

    Far more reflective of reality for me is an email from a friend in Shainghai who is sending me a supply of face masks for my family. She doesn't need them anymore.

    It is both funny and typical of some western nations (one in particular, as usual) spewing false propaganda that China has been doing nothing to combat the Coronavirus and that its failure to act was an intentional decision to infect the outside world. The truth is that China quarantined the affected part of the country way back in late January thus saving the outside world enormously and has already done the impossible by stopping the virus in its tracks while “the outside world” is only now (today) following China's lead. Too late? Let us hope not. The obvious is that it is the west that has been dragging its feet …... not China. What it looks like is more American hoax-standing propaganda in the same way the U.S. demanded, “Tear down the Berlin Wall” after its demolition was already underway.

    Exactly and this is a version of the cold virus. What makes anyone believe we will find a vaccine or a cure for this one. We just live with colds.

    You've seen my reply! So, back to the OP, what life-saving coronavirus drugs have been denied or are you now saying that the OP is BS?

    You clearly don't know what a vaccine is as you wrote "Maybe the ones we use to cure our colds" and then wrote "I said we can use the one we use for the common cold" - there aren't any cures or "life-saving drugs" for the common cold.

    Perhaps you can name these "life-saving" drugs used to cure the common cold?

    My god, you're slow! What is the title of this thread?

    And LOL You wrote ""Maybe the ones we use to cure our colds" then write the crap above "There aren't any". You have no clue what you're talking about!

    Really?

    Let just ONE family member so much as suggest that you "might" be a threat to yourself or others (not because you really are, but because you own a gun(s) and they don't approve of your support of Trump.
    Watch how many government agents come to your door demanding ALL your guns and ammo (possibly to never be seen again)

    No trial....no probable cause....no warrant needed. In case you're unaware, look up "Red Flag Laws"

    We've already become a quasi Communist state thanks to the Left

    What a crazy thread!
    OP: “China hints at denying Americans life-saving coronavirus drugs”

    Everybody is talking but no one is listening. Hello?! There are no "life-saving Coronavirus drugs"!

    You know what's worse? Sarcasm is dead, dead, dead. (I actually know there is no cure for a cold) the implication being there probably won't be one for this mess either if it is of that family of viruses.

    My friend, keep calm, keep calm. Don't be so excited and angry. At least you can find me listening. :shh:

    I am sure that another good friend of mine, Meta777, is listening too. I am sure she could feel your anguish as you scream your voice out of the silent forum. Your soundless screaming would definitely wake up all Rip Van Winkles and Sleeping Beauties. :sleeping:
