    If China wants it can delvalue and flood the market with US dollars. Yes it would shoot them in the foot for sure but if Trump freezes China assets Chine would do for sure.

    In public debt, which is about as name-less as dollar notes.

    I am eager to know how could this - freezing China-owned US debts - work in practice, saving for an all-out US dept default.

    Being from a lab and not man made are not mutually exclusive.

    Can you even see the goalposts now that you've moved them that far?

    Trump personally owes China nearly 1 billion.

    That is not moving... that is fact. Labs can study natural items. It was infact not hiding the fact that it was studying bat corona viruses. Man never made it. To use the word lab made or man made is moving the goal post. That is what you had done to you and you did not notice.

    Oh give me a ****ing break. You sat there for a month or more telling us that China [maybe? maybe no?] engineered this and let it loose on purpose because of reasons. Then you sat there and said..."NO, I never said that...I said they 'maybe' or 'could have' done those things, because you can't prove that they didn't!".

    And now, 3 months later, you've actually come to the most reasonable of the non-natural origin theories. Kudos.

    The virus can come from bats and still have emerged or leaked from the lab...

    All the evidence seems to point to this. Doesn't even mean it was released with malicious intent by CCP, though that definitely needs to be investigated.

    I once bought a Rockets jersey at a street market in Hong Kong. On the side of it there was a tag that said "Authentic NBA". I was pretty surprised to find out that Authentic NBA jerseys had iron on letters..

    Figured it out myself. Freezing China-owned debt is a non-starter according to Kudlow.

    How dare you call Xi a fat pig. He's more like a plump little bear.
