Critics Slam Trump For Claiming China Should Face "Consequences" If It "Knowingly" Unleashed The Coronavirus

At the conclusion of a week that saw the already-tense relationship between the US and China further strained by reports of CPC-sanctioned skullduggery during the early days of the outbreak in Wuhan, President Trump decided to kick things up a notch during his Friday task force press briefing, where he said for the first time that if Beijing was "knowingly responsible" for unleashing the virus on the world, then it should face "consequences."

Here's the exact quote, courtesy of Reuters:

"It could have been stopped in China before it started and it wasn’t, and the whole world is suffering because of it," Trump said.

"If it was a mistake, a mistake is a mistake. But if they were knowingly responsible, yeah, I mean, then sure there should be consequences," Trump said. He did not elaborate on what actions the United States might take.

It's not exactly the forceful accusation of culpability that Trump's critics - including the Chinese - have made it out to be over the last 24 hours.

  1. In a legal proceeding you have to assess "damages"
    How will that be done and proven?

  4. If China did it there would already be a war. Americans love some war. So you know it would be on.

    Since it isn’t war . . . We can conclude the US did it to China, not the other way around. It is after all the Fed who prints Dollars like they are paper. The Fed had the motive to do it. Not China.
