  I really wish we could onshore all manufacturing from China via automation (or send it to other Democracies) and just cut them out of the global economy.
  Uyghur genocide, selling chemicals for drugs that kill people, bullying everybody in the South China sea, having police stations in foreign nations, stealing intellectual property left right and center - China is no one's friend right now.

  Why is there no evidence?  Also it seems you are against the wuhan market and lab leak evidence.   Where do you believe covid came from. >

  I say no evidence for the wet market because after almost 3 years and 100s of thousands if not millions of animals checked, no pre-outbreak reservoir of the intermediate host has been identified. >
  
  Begun the opium wars have. >
