    I don't doubt for a second that there are bio-weapons being created by nations (including our own) to have an outcome similar to this. But like you, I really doubt they wouldn't have some kind of vaccine in the works for their own.

    How difficult would it be for China (or whoever "created" this) to all the sudden "find" a vaccine and become the hero of all of this?

    Its like a controlled burn. They will let it burn as long as they need it to. Until the economy of the west is fucked sufficiently. They can get hurt as well, but their fundamentals are stronger so they will survive.

    China will kill their own people if it serves their greater good.

    This is simply not true....China can't feed itself and needs international trade to maintain as it is....they saber rattle everytime there's a protest in Hong Kong or Taiwan elects a new president...Tsai Ing Wen just got reelected in Taiwan and our navy is patrolling the waters around Taiwan...China imports drinking water, soybeans and rice......sanctions and they turn quickly into a desert...hungry Chinese always revolt against the govt..China is hurting as badly as any country in the world and thinking this is a clever ploy by them is ridiculous....they didn't want a trade war, that's Trump's game plan....his trade war backfired for the entire planet...NO DIPLOMACY JUST BLUSTERED SPIN for a tiny bump in his ratings that died quickly

    That's a very valid question, and a distinct possibility, and to be honest, one that I had not considered.

    Don't bother bringing facts into a conspiracy argument.

    China owns Hong Kong now. They are expanding their borders by building land out in the South China Seas. They are solidifying their ownership of Africa and South America's natural resources. They are a multi-headed beast hell bent on becoming the next great superpower.

    So people can't eat? They don't give a shit.

    They will violate every human rights violation and won't bat an eye about it.

    I just hope Trump doesn't think starting a world war now would keep him in office...and it's the only thing he cares about.

    they were at war with Vietnam for about 300 years and couldn't beat them...they've pissed off africans across the board...your post is dating itself...China doesn't have the backing you think it does...it's surrounded by countries with armies who don't trust it....they know that...they will wage economic war sure and they'll get our latin American biz in international trade but they won't dominate shit with their current standing in the international community...they'll be lucky they don't get replaced by Taiwan in the UN at this point...they'll always have friends in N Korea and Iran...that's about it

    Yes, China is rapidly expanding their influence in the very countries that Trump has called shit holes.

    There's been a rise in hate crimes in Africa aimed at the Chinese since China treated africans so badly when the virus broke...it's not a great time to be Chinese in Africa at all

    Yes, you are correct.

    Which makes his insulting and antagonization of these countries all the worse.

    The Spratley Island stuff has been disputed for half a century...Phillipines, Vietnam, China, Taiwan and Japan make claims to those islands and looks this year like China just moved in without resistance...they can move out just as quickly but they're now making artificial island miitary bases instead
