Our government gives China most favored nation status. Our government lifts all trade barriers with China. Our manufacturers chase cheap wages and big profits by moving jobs to China. American consumers buy inexpensive goods made in China. China buys American politicians and media outlets. A virus starts in China and spreads all over the world. The knee jerk reaction to this is to blame China, and they are partly guilty in this for their slow response and misleading numbers of cases and fatalities.
Take a look in the mirror to see who is really guilty in all of this mess. We voluntarily buy their inexpensive products over goods made in America or other countries. We are ultimately responsible for all of this and now the piper needs to be paid.
