Yesterday I read that China was manufacturing and distributing fake gold bars. Well, to be fair, if you are a professional gold dealer then you should have the expertise to spot the fakes. However, for a nation the size of China to permit - encourage? - forgery on that scale in a market which is crucial to international trade is yet another sign of their non-stop mischief-making.
Today I read that China has also been caught out exporting 10,800 assault weapon parts into Florida. The inference is that they were destined for some members of the 'Black Lives Matter' gang. Well, at least 'The Donald' has taken some fairly severe actions against China over matters of trade but my question is what is Boris doing? The sheer numbers of Chinese immigrants/visitors to Britain is alarming, particularly at Cambridge University where the place is flooded with 'wannabe' students.
Get a grip, Boris, and do something! For a start, cancel that ludicrous Huawei project which threatens to allow China to have total control over our national communications.
China is starting to throw its weight around and doesn't like being confronted when it is.
It is picking a fight with Taiwan, Japan, the Philipines, India and we in Oz are getting the threatening behaviour because we caught them out trying to interfere with our security systems and told them to enjoy sex and travel.
Either Ding-a-ling feels strong enough to throw his weight around or the Communist body politic and the economy are in trouble and they are trying to divert the attention of the local populace.
Either way the bastards need to be confronted with the reality that such behaviour could cost them dearly in many ways.

BLM has international backing by all the wrong players. China hopes to destabilize the West and the US in particular with their virus and aiding social unrest to help Democrats win here in November. Chinese "students" answer to the CCP. There are too many in Western Universities.

Chinese farmers are dangerous fools who can't learn lessons:
"A new strain of flu that has the potential to become a pandemic has been identified in China by scientists.
It emerged recently and is carried by pigs, but can infect humans, they say.
The researchers are concerned that it could mutate further so that it can spread easily from person to person, and trigger a global outbreak."

It is already Wednesday and we had no Monday Funnies.
However the news cycle is turning into a laugh, if it wasn't so serious. China must be stopped and stupid people need to stop using their platforms, such as Tik Tok. The fact that Trump would like to stop China is only encouraging the Dems and Marxists (but then I repeat myself) to back anything that country is doing at the moment.

Apologies, Miss Red, I had an off day on Monday but I have given myself a severe talking to!

When will people, by that I mean those in governments, realise that you can not trust the Chinese Communist government. They will lie, tear up or ignore treaties, agreements, or contracts, they have signed - what's happening in Hong Kong is just one example - and they ignore any complaints about these breaches, turning the blame on those protesting.
With the latest intelligence about a virus from pigs originating in China, this is an ideal opportunity to vet, or ban, any movement from China to the rest of the world, something that should have been done over Covid19. Xi Jinping, or Pooh Bear as he is affectionately known (irony alert) has already infected the world with one disease. Let's try and stop him infecting the world with a second one.
