Pretty sure they'd have the Saudis, Egyptians, and Israelis kicking their asses if they were to try to use that base to close off the Red Sea. Still not good for political stability in the region. With a US presence in the region that base will be another wild card in the game of scenarios. The Chinese might dare to do things that Russia was never willing to do in terms of showing force.

If China let this out on purpose or just by intentional neglect, they will do it again for a second wave and for as many waves as they can until a vaccine or heard immunity is reached.

4merper4mer Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 8 hours ago, Hedge said: The above seems possible as does a slow down in China. Complete eradication or something near, as China seems to be claiming, does not seem possible. There are many cases, most if not all, where intelligence needs to remain out of the public view. In this case I'm sure the world's spies know a lot more about what is currently going on in China than we know, and I think disclosure is the right path. If it is still there, we are effectively at war because China will keep unleashing it. We deserve to know this. We also deserve to decide whether to fight by ending our hostage status and re-opening despite what will be a rough ride until immunity is built. Our other choice would seem to be to wait it out until a vaccine arrives. Either way, the information from China is a critical piece of the puzzle. The less we know about it, the more our arguments amongst each other are silly because they don't include enough information to define the "right" solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 In mid-January, Chinese consulates in Canada and worldwide issued an urgent call. China was concerned that the new coronavirus raging in Wuhan was so deadly and infectious that its nurses and doctors would run out of safety supplies. It needed personal protective equipment (PPE). In just six weeks, China imported 2.5 billion pieces of epidemic safety equipment, including over two billion safety masks, Chinese government data shows. And this raises big concerns on a number of fronts, say critics, including Conservative MP Erin O’Toole. China was evidently hiding the extent of a pandemic that endangered the world while covertly securing PPE at low prices. This “surreptitious” operation left “the world naked with no supply of PPE,” Jorge Guajardo, Mexico’s former ambassador to Beijing, told Global News. The result: starting in March, after COVID-19 had circled the globe, countries that provided masks to China in January and February were forced to compete for China’s supply. “One source told me in January it became well-known amongst military and emergency services that China was stockpiling masks and basically buying out as many quantities as it could,” https://globalnews.ca/news/6858818/coronavirus-china-united-front-canada-protective-equipment-shortage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China has launched a Twitter offensive in the COVID-19 information war, more than doubling its number of official government tweets since January and in recent days using the platform to spread a conspiracy theory that the virus came from a U.S. government lab. "The #US keeps calling for transparency & investigation. Why not open up Fort Detrick & other bio-labs for international review? Why not invite #WHO & int'l experts to the US to look into #COVI19 source & response?" the spokesperson for China's Foreign Affairs Ministry wrote in a May 8 tweet that has been liked more than 4,000 times. </snip> 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China seizes control of PPE factories, sparking fear of new coronavirus wave By Ebony Bowden, Heather Hauswirth | New York Post China’s Communist Party is again seizing factory lines churning out the world’s supply of medical safety gear — sparking fears the country is preparing for a second wave of the coronavirus, American traders in China told The Post. New Yorker Moshe Malamud, who has done business in China for over two decades, was moving tens of millions of pieces of protective gear to the U.S. at the height of the crisis but said suppliers in recent weeks had been overwhelmed with orders from the Chinese government. https://www.foxnews.com/world/china-ppe-factories-seizures-coronavirus-wave-fears 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
