The China Thread

[Legbiter]

The entire world should ban all travel from China or Chinese nationals until they show us definitely that this practice is gone. We can't shut down our economies like this ever again.

Need to decouple our supply chains out of that shithole, decentralize them and apply Cold War containment to China. They are an existential threat to us all.

I wonder how much traction the Chinese "US military started the coronavirus" conspiracy theory will gain outside China. It seems to be taking firm root in the Mainland already.

[Legbiter]

Saw that. Disgusting.

Interesting. Especially since the Chinese created it in a lab is gaining a lot of traction.

[Camerus]

They aren't the same. The "US military started it" conspiracy theory is being aggressively pushed by the Chinese state, including by its television networks and by its foreign ministry.

The "escaped man-made virus from a Wuhan lab" has nowhere near the same backing.

[Sheilbh]

I mean with that isn't it ultimately what the Chinese state is probably going to spin about this now.

Unsustainable, strict measures clamp down and reduce coronavirus to zero new domestic transmissions. The Party declares victory over coronavirus. All new transmissions can be blamed on foreigners coming in and other countries failing to take the unsustainable, strict measures China did.

I've seen it crop up here by people who are generally on the not-gullible side.

Give it time, Trump has been moving in that direction recently and several members of his party have already gone there (along with some totally-not-aligned-with-the-Nazi media outlets like OAN)

The idea is widely ridiculed in HK

I had hoped this quarantine would make at least one former poster come back out of sheer boredom. Hasn't happened yet.
