China should be held financially responsibly for the debt that America incurred for China’s handling of the Covid virus. Proceeds can be credited to the national debt.
Countries have to be held responsibly for the damages they do to others. If you don’t hold them accountable, they’ll just keep doing it…
Honestly this is a waste of legislative opportunity. Tariffs will likely be imposed for other aspects and as a nation we really need to move forward instead of trying to go back several years to impose fines. The focus of policy should be on the future so I’d really rethink advocating for past issues as an administration priority given the sheer volume of other issues the countries needs addressed. Most of 2020 to now the focus was on covid and it’s really time we move on as a nation and take what we learned in my opinion instead of continuing to “punish” or focus on that.

No they haven’t. You’re discussing arbitrary policies that result in little to nothing actually happening. It’s a PR stunt. What harmed us with China and covid was our foreign reliance on them. Again I’m tired of pointless PR stunts and if you think the priority of this administration isn;t on rebuilding the infrastructures that covid showed were so unstable but that trying to collect a tiny amount of money from China as punitive, then you’re again subverting the Trump admin’s role. We have to be intelligent and invest in the US vs the time, energy, etc of foreign priority. We’re already gonna tariff China. We’re already gonna re-invest in US infrastructure to compete with China etc. You hold them accountable by not supporting their economy…thats the punishment. Not some tiny fine that won’t even cover 10% of the daily interest we pay them because of loans from their bank. We know better now so let’s do it. Focus on taking US support from china and that isn’t money, it’s the business connections that are why they’re where they are in the world today.
