It goes into Trillions that China know owes the world for damages.
Damages to the economy and compensation for lives lost, as well as the impact on lifestyle. It is being suggested that China write-off any debt that any other country owes it.
There has to be some form of repercussions for China because this is not the first time this has happened.
Firstly as a breeding ground for viruses, and secondly suppressing the information allowing other countries to act slower.
China does not recognize the ICJ and they may not take the case anyway,
Why do the Trumpanzees almost refer to America?
Ceradynce, you live in Europe. It is not as if Obama and Joe are responsible for Europe using China.
Furthermore, the China situation has been developing for a long time in the US- before Obama anyway.
When I say "we" - I mean the world that uses China. Not just America.
sharkbok I agree with you on international action to be taken against China.
Whether it does or does not happen is another matter, but that said we can sure start an individual plan that will teach the Chinese a lesson.
STOP BUYING ANY GOODS MADE IN CHINA.
That includes Apple electronic goods such as cell phones.
With the monies owed to China by numerous countries around the world, it will be virtually impossible for some countries to stand up to them under any crisis even such as this.
But individually we can and must make move right now.
I have.
Agreed AJH
And if China does not want to cooperate with a world court, any debt owed to China can just remain unpaid.
BAN Chinese imports. I would still eat a Chinese takeaway, but I don't want to buy their products - unless they pay back what is decided they owe.
Although to some degree the Chinese need to rise up and challenge their government. The latest emperor they have - had himself anointed for life. So they are now no longer even a changing of leaders, so their leader is now in no way responsible to the people. No voting system, even with the party itself.
Apparently people in China who have criticized the government over their handling of Corona have disappeared, including millionaire business people. And members of these peoples families have also disappeared.
@SB. George Osborne arse-licking the Chinese:
George Osborne opens doors to rich Chinese with new visa system
China and 'the Osborne Doctrine'
@ SB and Moz. This ties into what both of you are saying. The last part, in particular ties in with SB's remark: " Just have to start moving away from manufacturing from China gradually. "
The big losers will be China and their Globalist allies.
The days of corporate globalists shipping factories and jobs off to China to ensure they make as much money as possible and to hell with the workers of their own countries are over.
As with America, countries supply chains will move back to home countries. You simply cannot be dependent on the communist dictators in China.
So to have the globalists lost the open borders issue. Once again the globalist did not give a dam as to the effects of this policy on the natives of the country. In fact they disdainful referred to those folk as being nativist.
All this is going to change and for the better.
Also institutions like the Chinese controlled WHO will suffer. American pays the lions share of the budget, some 20% I heard. All to have WHO acting cover for the CCP lies and propaganda.
And who has been proved correct regarding bringing the supply chain back, dealing with China and of course the folly of open borders. Donald J Trump President of the United States.
Thank God for such a great, sane president at this critical time.
