Biden Letting China Get Away with Crime of the Century



The President of the United States does not need perfect knowledge to act.


The failure to share information when it has an obligation to do so is enough reason to impose severe costs on Beijing, but there are two additional reasons — both sufficient in and of themselves—to do so.

First, for at least five weeks, Chinese officials first covered up and then lied about the human-to-human transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2, telling the world COVID-19 was not contagious when they knew it in fact was.... Second, China's military is working on the next generation of pathogens.

If Chinese scientists succeed in designing pathogens targeting only foreigners, the next microbe, virus, or germ from China could end non-Chinese societies. This will be Communist China's civilization-killer.

The next pandemic, therefore, could be the one that leaves China as the world's only viable society. The world, therefore, needs something far more important than justice or compensation. It needs deterrence.

Beijing's determined campaign to collect genetic profiles of foreigners while preventing the transfer to recipients outside China of the profiles of Chinese is another indication that the Chinese military, in violation of its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention, is building ethnic-specific bioweapons.

Up to now, Biden has shown little — and sometimes no — interest in holding China accountable.... So far, Biden, with his feeble reaction, has shown Xi Jinping that Beijing can, without cost, kill millions of non-Chinese with a pathogen. Xi, unless stopped, will certainly do so again.

On August 27, the Biden administration released an unclassified summary of the intelligence community's report on the origins of COVID-19. The IC, America's 18 intelligence agencies, could reach only a few definitive conclusions. The agencies said they needed more information, but the world now knows enough to begin imposing severe costs on China.

America and other nations must impose those costs to prevent China's Communist Party from releasing a civilization-killing disease. Yes, the People's Liberation Army is now developing pathogens to destroy non-Chinese societies.

"The IC assesses that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, probably emerged and infected humans through an initial small-scale exposure that occurred no later than November 2019 with the first known cluster of COVID-19 cases arising in Wuhan, China in December 2019," the summary states.

The IC believes "the virus was not developed as a biological weapon." "Most agencies also assess with low confidence that SARS-CoV-2 probably was not genetically engineered," the summary report states. Both a "natural exposure to an infected animal and a laboratory-associated incident" are "plausible."

The report's bottom line: "The IC remains divided on the most likely origin of COVID-19."

"The world deserves answers, and I will not rest until we get them," President Biden said in a statement accompanying the release of the summary. Good on him.

Not, however, good enough. The President of the United States does not need perfect knowledge to act. As the summary states, Beijing "continues to hinder the global investigation, resist sharing information, and blame other...

Eighteen intelligence agencies. That is some scary stuff. It sounds like Soviet America. Then, of course, they need more information. They thrive on information. They feed on information. Must. have. This is sheer manipulation.

Also consider, a crooked administration is handed the means to more power, more control, increased ability to be ever covert. Why wouldn't they let China get off the hook?

No Americans will be left behind in Shizitstanastan. Glad you're on it Joey.
