What's At Stake As Trump's White House Takes On China Over The Coronavirus

[thinksummertime]

2:58 That is not what the Chinese person said. He says, 'between China and U.S., there has been disputes about where the virus originated. The one who originated these disputes is U.S.‘ Lin on the other hand is undoubtedly trying to accuse America, I just thought the first sentence's translation was highly misleading.

"Never let a crisis go to waste" in action.

“Could’ve been stopped in China”
France had a case before December 27th. Yes, could’ve been stopped in China.

America threw away their manufacturing base and now upset that China didn’t.

I mean wtf!! America is the only Country complaining about every thing like a child! Please focus on how to protect people right now!

[qedua]

No point of blaming others when you ignore your own advisor alert

[godydogy]

Pompeo would not know what Honest and Transparent is

[Mikey-fomm]

Trump : I don't need a mask bcoz I can always blame China for the virus

[augustus]

I hate the use of the term "global pandemic". If an epidemic is global, it's called a pandemic. Global pandemic is double.

Putin: games about to start! Give me ma vodka!

[roodeehuhh]

Please we only want peace. No war, help one another

[PM-wbtb]

Brace yourself, The blaming game has begun.

[TECHN]

Why were they praising China in Jan, Feb and March?

[TheSoloistAlone]

So he didn't take covid19 serious, and now wants to blame China 🤬

[noam]

This video could have easily been 7 minutes, very repetitive scenes at times...

[AbeJacoby]

So! When is America going to invade China like they did in Grenada, Libya, Syria, Afganistan, Vietnam, just to name a few?

[ihelmo]

Why is their attention not on containing the virus itself?! It's like watching children point fingers and throwing tantrums on the playground. What a disgrace.

Pooh vs. Orange

Interesting to watch from hell.

[drp]

Why did you write Trump vs China? Why not Trump vs Xi? Or US vs China?

[ProfessionalTycoons]

The good outcome of this is that all those FAKE ONLINE GURU's will finally die
