    Yes, my great friend, keep lying about being "truthful about your numbers" and the American number will break through the sky very soon. :xd:

    So you believe America is somehow skewing the numbers?

    Do you believe China has been honest about their numbers?

    My great friend, stop believing but taking action at once. Go to all cemeteries in the US and China to see how many new graves are there. :xd:

    It gets worse.

    Spain, Europe's worst-hit country after Italy, says coronavirus tests it bought from China are failing to detect positive cases
    "Fernando Simón, the director of Spain's health-emergencies coordination center, said on Thursday that Spain checked 9,000 of the tests, found that their results were not consistent enough, and decided to return them.".

    Chinese Distributed Faulty Coronavirus Test Kits Throughout Europe, Reports Indicate
    "Thousands of rapid test kits purchased from China by European countries have proven to be defective, according to local reports.

    In Spain, which currently has the fourth-highest number of coronavirus cases in the world, the government purchased 640,000 rapid test kits from China and South Korea as it fights the pandemic. Experts soon discovered, however, that the tests it purchased from Chinese company Bioeasy were only correctly identifying coronavirus cases 30 percent of the time, according to Spain's El Pais.

    The Czech Republic also purchased 150,000 rapid test kits from China, and have likewise found problems. One doctor using the tests found that 80 percent of the kits were faulty and has reverted back to the conventional lab tests, which are significantly slower to process.

    The Spanish government confirmed that the tests did not meet its standards and returned them. The Czech Republic is standing by its purchase, arguing that the kits do work and methodological errors are to blame for the high error rate identified by the doctor."

    Seems like you're enjoying this.

    Are pandemics the kind of thing that tickles your pickle?

    A great portion of the personal protective equipment we have in the US comes from China or Indonesia. The big problem the US created for themselves is that we don't make much of anything here any longer, it's all imported from China or Taiwan. Then we slap big tariffs on many of those goods that we're finding ourselves in short supply of today.l

    https://www.piie.com/blogs/trade-an...nas-exports-medical-supplies-provide-ray-hope

    [snip] Chinese exports of essential hospital supplies did decline in the first two months of 2020, as expected, but only by 15 percent. And the factors behind the dip were complex, and not simply a case of China hoarding the equipment for itself or retaliating against the Trump trade war.

    China is now producing 116 million masks a day, 12 times its supply prior to the outbreak. Chinese billionaire Jack Ma is flying protective face masks to Europe and the United States. The Chinese government has offered to export protective equipment to Italy and other countries.

    China provided 43 percent of world imports of face shields, protective garments, mouth-nose-protection equipment, gloves, and goggles in 2018. China is a major supplier collectively and of each of the five products individually.[/snip]

    Waiting for the
    America will get through this because we are the strongest nation on earth in spite of the naysayers.
    Waiting for many living in the free world to wake up and admit Trump is correct and we need to slowly sever as many ties with China as possible. They do not have to be the supplier of choice to this country.

    No one is claiming they did. All they are doing is looking out for China.

    So you believe Trump being antagonistic toward Xi will make it easier to repatriate US businesses who moved to China?

    they dont need to hoarded the supplies, they are making 100million mask per day, where do you think most mask and gloves are made at.
    Trump admin is asking other country INCLUDING china for mask and other med supply now. i doubt they will prioritize US given trump relationship with China.

    Oh there's plenty of lessons to learn here.

    a) if a pandemic starts in China, do not allow large shipments of medical supplies out of the country without first ensuring local supply
    b) build up local manufacturing, to create jobs and secure supply chains
    c) we don't need all the crap currently on sale... pointing finger at $1 shops
    d) Even during a pandemic China will use their propaganda machine to blame someone else
    e) Communists will never provide truthful or reliable statistics

    F) Just stop doing business with China period. There's over 190 countries, and there's a term called "diversifying portfolio." China's not the best manufacturer, hell they're often FAULTY products. They're just "cheaper" because they are faulty. Well, you get what you pay for, and the world sought the ruin from the Chinese government.
