The question isn't if they will ever do it again. The question is. When will they do it again.

It'll be a while.

It's mission accomplished for now. Get Trump out and corrupt Wall Street back in charge. The good ole days of easy money and comfort - your next day Prime delivered cheap Chinese goods - are BACK BABY!

lol all Trump ever talked about with the economy was how the stock market was doing. That’s Wall Street for you.

I don’t know when but I feel like this was a test for them and they accomplished the goal. Next one will be the real deal I’m afraid.

They most certainly concealed information on it for a long time...then locked down their epicenter to travel within China, but not abroad. And a lab accident cannot be ruled out according to experts.

They intentionally misled the world - so you’d have to say at the very least they released a misinformation campaign that was deadly. To scoff at that or act like China is above it, I’ve got some Uighurs to sell you.

True. But, before COVID, we had basically no inflation, full employment, lowest unemployment for AA and Hispanic Americans, 2.5% GDP growth, real wage growth, etc. I'm not a fan of Trump by any means but the economy was robust up until COVID hit. Now, whether he (or any President, especially in their first term) is responsible for the economic growth/stagnation is certainly something to debate. There is a lag between 'new' policy and how the economy reacts, I think it's overly simple to say "President X's policies resulted in GDP growth of x%'. Way too many variables and time delays to accurately assess cause/effect IMO.

If Biden gets in I think they will wait a little longer. Gov Brian Kemp of Georgia is already begging them to set up shop in his state. He wants them.

So I think China's main interest will be to reclaim all of the manufacturing jobs that came back to America by either investing in our country by buying land and buildings or taking them back to China. They will own us

I think it is very possible this virus was released on the world on purpose. Is it possible it was all an accident? Maybe. But I think China now has a blueprint of how they can wreck the most powerful economy in the world whenever they want to, so yea, you can probably expect another one in the next 20 years.

It would have been BOOM city by now if not for the virus (already was actually). I can't say how much China knew what was happening.. But I feel pretty confident Trump ROLLS last month if not for the virus.

My hope here is that while China may have a blueprint, so do we (and the rest of the free world). China releases Covid20 and you can bet the rest of the world will be taking it MUCH more seriously.

This is going to live with people and 1st world governments for a 100 years. More even. We will never be as unprepared again as we were back in March. Who back then thought there'd be another plague? Not even Libs like Kind Andy and Blasio thought this was a big deal.

If you ask me.. China threw the first punch, but it didn't hit hard enough.

American unemployment will go to nothing as soon as the nanoparticle transmitter factories get going on the "vaccines".

The economic boom started under Obama

For 100 years? Spanish Flu was 100 years before COVID and the US has totally screwed up COVID. Hell the federal government showed they learned nothing from the Swine Flu that occurred only 11 years ago.

That's why I picked 100 years..

It's something that this country isn't going to forget for decades. There will be regulations created and laws enacted to make sure something like this can't spread again.

But then, in 100 years, when it's a distant memory, that's when things will relax, people won't believe it can happen again because "the 2020's were like.. ancient"..

If something this crippling comes out of China again anytime soon, they will be pummeled from every direction and will never recover.

The economic boom started under Obama

Not to be argumentative, but I know I've read several sources that stated the 'recovery' under Obama was the slowest peacetime recovery in our history. We did have growth but it was typically below 2% annually and was deemed the 'new normal.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Trump was responsible for the increase in growth directly. I just don't think you can characterize the economy under BO as a 'boom'. It was OK and the stock market did well but some of that growth in the market was due to the low point of The Great Recession occurring in March 2009 which would have ended whoever was in office. He certainly had nothing to do with the huge downturn but at least some of the market rebound would have happened regardless.

Biden will accommodate them because his son and family stand to make a lot of money from them.

And already have. Especially Hunter. I was disgusted when I saw Brian Kemp practically begging in an advertisement for China to relocate and trade with Georgia. Now I understand why he is so set to get Biden in office.

I wonder how many RINO's are like that. I would say many, more than we want to admit

Maybe they'll release a virus that causes rural folk to no longer being able to differentiate between what is real and what is propaganda made up and designed to separate them from their money by semi-skilled New York grifters? The virus will be so effective they no longer understand why courts dismiss frivolous claims for lack of evidence. It will blind them to things patently obvious to everyone else. Like how the guy standing on stage with hair color running down the sides of his face was not worth paying 20K a day so maybe rethink a few of those donations.
