The health crisis has strengthened hard-liners and driven China and the U.S., the world’s two biggest economies, closer to collision.

These are some of the unusual new scenes across the Southland in the age of the coronavirus outbreak.Early on, President Trump frequently referred to the coronavirus as the “Chinese virus.”

The punitive duties also have affected badly needed protective medical gear such as face masks, gloves and goggles, many of which are made in China. Whether either side is prepared to back away from confrontation remains in doubt. Both Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have pressing political reasons to keep playing hardball.“In the case where we’re dealing with a global and domestic recession, it will undoubtedly seed voices of populism and nationalism and xenophobia,” said Jude Blanchette, the Freeman Chair in China Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

On the Chinese side, the U.S. criticism of the nation — and the economic pain inflicted by the tariffs — has stirred waves of nationalistic resentment. As the economic pain spreads, analysts say it will probably make compromise more difficult even if deescalation would benefit both sides. But there are signs that China’s economy may fare better than many in the West are projecting. Factories have largely resumed operations, with electric power usage returning to 95% of what it was this time a year ago, said Nicholas Lardy, a China economy expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

in which the Chinese promised to buy billions of dollars more in American farm products and other goods. Beijing’s persistent refusal to prevent its companies from appropriating the intellectual property and know-how of U.S. firms was high on a lengthening list of complaints.

This is the Soviet flag. It is red because it is saturated with the blood of citizens in peacetime. Now the Russian flag has soaked in blood. This is the blood of Ukrainians in the time of Putler, Hitler of the 21st century.

I don't believe it.

The U.S economy is tied to China. There will be no cold war, only a man-child with small hands whining as usual.

A cold war should help with global warming.

If this was Fox news it would read 'China shoots woman in head to avoid counting her as a Coronavirus victim'

At least Trump is not pushing it under the carpet..WHO & China have allot of blood on their hands

Good. I've decided to become an advocatus diaboli and 'cheerlead' for the trumpian end of times...

China re-declares war on the world every day they lie about their virus case numbers. Their fake numbers make it impossible for the rest of the world to properly prepare. They are mass murdering us with misinformation.

Chinazi is assho

Straight about to cap that fool.

War between China and the US is inevitable unless they abandon communism and stop giving us deadly viruses.

China posts drop in coronavirus cases, Wuhan lockdown due to endMainland China reported on Tuesday a drop in new coronavirus cases after closing its borders to virtually all foreigners to curb imported infections, while the central city of Wuhan, epicentre of the outbreak, saw no new deaths for the first time. I don't know how come anything related to China is labeled 'fake'. Is that why people don't learn the lessons from China too? 4 months in lock down to achieve. Over a quarter of a year. And that was with very aggressive and sometimes inhumane measures in place.
