    1. @Yabbo ! Foreigners don’t understand the Chinese army just like they don’t understand China

    2. @nizicike How about those bullied by PRC? They are facing a much serious threat honestly…HK, Taiwan, Xinjiang etc

    3. @nizicike At least Taiwan is totally not controlled by PRC and HK is part of PRC but technically a self-governing political entity.

  1. This isn’t the time to do this as our country is weakened due to covid-19 and the lack of leadership from the top.

    1. The Army, Airforce, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and now Spaceforce are always ready. Not to mention there’s a rifle behind every blade of grass, except in New York and Kommifornia, I’m sure the liberals will welcome the Chinese into their homes.

    2. xianzhi CAO Every country wants a peaceful life,except USA,the trouble maker.Your peace came from millions of people who died for the country.

    1. Asia reported, the real story was US consulate in Wuhan was closed on Jan, at that time, the people in this consulate had flown back to US. Now they wanted to return back to Wuhan, China said they need to get virus test before fly back, US rejected. Trump retaliated it by shutting down Houston.

    2. He is aiming for emergency government like Hitler. As your north neighbor please stop them

    3. @Dawn Sylvester I believe its a great move. So if the left wins the election the dems will show Americans just how fast the consulate opens back up in Houston. Imagine the media on if it will even be reported? Even Disney/Fox is deep with China.

    1. It’s inefficient trade anyway. The US has also made countries like Haiti major buyers of its subsidize rice even though they produce it, destroying their agriculture.

  2. Trump is softening the ground to say China interfered in our Elections after Biden trounces him on Nov 3rd

    1. It’s a Circus Clown blame games. China was mistaken as Russia or Russia was mistaken as China.
      Somebody missed the briefing bcoz counting polls

    1. @Pub Comrad You are a fool!

      No force can stop China!

      isis was but an ant compared to China’s DRAGON!

    2. @Love In The Sun typical im not, but you are school yard attempt at dismissal…
      Word…the last word that is all that is needed with you.

    3. @Dale Hartley are you sure english is your first language? Are you chinese? Are you up to your armpits in flood waters?

  3. It’s a good thing China didn’t put any bounties out for American soldiers, then trump would have ignored it

    1. @Derius Li Don’t be a moron! Where did I say they are not a part of China? Also, learn how to write properly in English. Perhaps if you learn how to read, you won’t write such a stupid comment.

    2. Jason Boyce. Typical uneducated Marxist leftist. Anyone who even uses Tik Tok is giving China access to your entire life. Amazing how leftists always support communist countries and dictatorships. All you need to know who these radical communist/socialist Democrats are.

    3. @BillHK don’t deflect if you cannot answer properly like trump. war against their own peoples?? you mean US yeah. Your narrative and information as usual just got from MSM brainwashed western media

  4. US and China are ready on path of war while the nation is heading nowhere in the peak of pandemics and the president abuses his power to make himself a dictator!

    1. Well China is no for USA.This war will be over even before it begins. Even in its worst day, US can wipe out 10 China without significant losses on its own part. They have about 10x more nukes, or perhaps even more. America is the greatest nation in the face of the earth, nothing can challenge it’s might, nor should one dare.

    2. Trump is both power hungry and really incapable. That is the problem. Man, I think he is even less capable than Kimmy 😂

    3. Rajat Chatterjee so you want a nuclear winter 😂 guess your family have not lived through the wartime period

    4. I remember WHO’s Tedros warned us a few months back ‘Dont politicize this virus or you will have many more deaths”.

    1. @Pub Comrad then after, Russia declares war on United States. #45 opens the gates. Hand him ” Putin” the keys 🔑.

    1. Hmmm. has nothing to do with him “strongly encouraging” the governor to open way before it was ready, about his refusal to do his job and provide medical supplies to the overwhelmed hospitals in that state and his general lack of direction in this pandemic.?

    2. Biden loves China and that is the fact. I love it !!! But I feel sorry for all the democracy fighters in Hong Kong.

    3. WOW, you’re really that stupid. Why don’t you go live in China and see what it’s like. Make the same comment about the CCP in China and see if you have any freedom.

    4. Lar M you should also feel sorry for the protesters dragged into unmarked vehicle by unmarked federal police

  5. “Sir, your polls are dropping because of your handling of the virus”
    “Start a war with China as a deflection”

  6. This is trump giving the Chinese cover for closing the US Embassy in Hong Kong. Nothing more. Nothing less.

  7. the US keeps creating enemies for itself, to continue a perpetual war

    another distraction to the pandemic that is out of hand

    1. So your logic is, because of COVID we must not do ANYTHING else for national security until we solve it?

    2. @ZoomerX24 COVID IS INFECTING AND KILLING MORE POEPLE IN THE UNITED STATES THEN ANY OTHER NATIONAL DEFENSE ISSUE. CORRECT…SO SOLVING IT SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY…WAIT WAIT YOU PROBABLY THINK COVID IS JUST GOING TO DISAPPEAR TOO HUH

    3. @Jesus Gonzalez Yes your correct, but if you have ever actually read the U.S.’s national defense policy you would know that our government acts with the long term in mind. COVID is virus and like all viruses it WILL go away. China on the other hand will be a persistent threat to Americans and the U.S. Government decades from now.

    1. Trump didnt create a disease to destabilize the world in one fell swoop. Look toward China for that.

    2. @Dark Star he is hoping for more protests. Get people out on the streets because they don’t want yet another costly war. Declare them terrorists. Voila, the millitary costume comes out and there is a trump dynasty

      If you payed a bit more attention to the countries you bombed you would see that this is a testbook strategy.

    3. we are already in a war with China, they have inflitrated our universities, they are censoring our media and they are ignoring international law to our disadvantage.

  8. Something needs to be done, but I don’t think this type of open conflict is good. I think building coalition of countries that agree to cooperate in moving supply chains outside of China is the way to go.

    1. both are good. At least this tells China not to F with us anymore than they already have. They told us they were not building islands in the Sth China Sea as they were building them. Lied to Obamas face.

    2. Kate100294764 direct confrontation isn’t the way to deal with China. The best way to to build an international squeeze.
