The West is obviously threatened by China, but to a large degree it's our own silly fault. Before Covid came to light, I was horrified by a news story; A young girl had been opening the Christmas cards that they had bought from Tesco. Inside one was a note from the political prisoner who had packed them. Apart from the political prisoner labour camp subject, how have we come to importing Christmas cards by the container from China instead of buying our own home produced or even home made?
We are dependant on China from all the c**p that we buy because it is so cheap and we don't want to pay the price that it would cost a well paid factory to produce over here.
And because of our dependance, our foreign policy is very softly softly. As it is towards Saudi Arabia because we want their oil.
China should be held to account for Covid. It was wholly avoidable. It is not the only country with live animal markets though.
But whilst we are still buying their Christmas cards not a lot will happen.
We can have what we want, because it is cheap from China.
I'd rather pay more for my Apple MacBook if it was made in the USA, but I'd expect it to be serviceable and upgradable as well. Made to last.
