I am very heartened to see this. I notice that Merkel is doing her usual pandering to the communists, she used to be a much better ally. :angry:

NATO leaders declare China a global security challenge
By AAMER MADHANI, JONATHAN LEMIRE and LORNE COOK, AP News | June 14, 2021

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

I have to agree. IMO, Putin is more a tin pot dictator who is all hat, no cattle. China has much more influence. Example? When the Russians invaded Afghanistan decades ago, the US refused to go to the Moscow Olympics. China's upcoming Winter Olympics will not be boycotted because Beijing is both a major supplier to the West and also a huge customer, over one billion customers.

I am really worried no one in the West will stand up to them.

I skimmed through that summit statement and didn't see anything about the source of the virus. I wonder how many of those leaders understand how important it is to find the true source that shut down much of the world and killed millions? China knows how to bring us all to our knees now and I believe we are still funding that lab.

I also didn't see anything about the genocide that so many American leaders and corporations just ignore for their own benefit. The Chinese government is a plague on humanity and yet we still let them get by with everything. They will sell us a shit ton of solar panels so we can starve our economy of cheap energy while they keep pumping out coal plants and building their military. Our leaders are worthless.

If, in fact, China did mutate the virus so it could be transmitted from person to person, why did they release it in the very city where their pandemic lab is located, putting their population at risk? Why not take it to a third-world country and release it there?

the PRC quickly locked down Wuhan when it was found that the virus had gotten out of the lab. However, excluded from the lock down where PRC citizens flying internationally. When President Trump stopped flights from Chin, he was criticized as being zenophobic.
Why release it in a third world country when you can infect your greatest enemy (U.S.A.) and severly injure its economy.

Because Trump didn't stop US citizens from flying to and from China. That's how it spread into the U.S.

But, John Stewart is on your side...

Nobody said they intentionally released it. Do you still believe it came from a wet market and not the one Chinese lab that actually studies those viruses? Fauci did a great job of convincing people what his version of the truth is... too bad he wasn't truthful in telling us he had a conflict of interest when it came to that lab he helped to fund.

Wayne, U.S. citizens and green card holders were allowed back into the U.S. No foreign nationals. U.S. citizens were not flying to the PRC after the ban on travel was instituted.
