China attempts to leverage stockpile of med equipment to get countries to use Huawei 5G

China, the country where the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 originated, has been providing personal protective equipment to other countries that have been hurt by the pandemic. Sometimes, however, that offer of assistance comes with a catch.
Republican Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee said on Fox News on Sunday that when France asked for some medical masks, China attempted to leverage that need to get France to use its Huawei 5G network.
"In France, we were told yesterday on a conference call that [French President Emanuel] Macron was talking to [Chinese President] Xi and Macron asked for a billion masks, and Xi said, 'We'll give them to you if you implement 5G with Huawei,'" Green said. "That's who China is, and it's time the world wake up and recognize it."
China leads the world in the area of 5G technology and would like to expand that dominance by establishing its networks in other countries. Using Huawei networks carries significant national security risks, however, said Attorney General William Barr.
"If China establishes sole dominance over 5G, it will be able to dominate the opportunities arising from a stunning range of emerging technologies that will be dependent on, and interwoven with, the 5G platform," Barr said, according to the Daily Wire. "From a national security standpoint, if the Industrial Internet becomes dependent on Chinese technology, China would have the ability to shut countries off from technology and equipment upon which their consumers and industry depend. The power the United States has today to use economic sanctions would pale by comparison to the unprecedented economic leverage we would be surrendering into the hands of China."
Some hospitals in the U.S. are facing shortages of personal protective equipment and ventilators, and some of that need is being met by China. USA Today reported that in February, before the coronavirus crisis exploded in the U.S., exports of personal protective equipment and ventilators to China increased dramatically.

China is being exposed as north korea on steroids. They're at war with us whether we like it or not.
Check out part of a chinese propaganda video about all of this.

They are doing their best to have the entire world tell them to frick off

Hard for me to be mad at China when he basically handed them all the power to do this shite

We are at war with them. An economic war. It has been shouldered chiefly by our Commander in Chief. And he ain't backing down.

A ground invasion of China would be a mess
Two nuclear powers are not going to go to war. It would be the end of the world
The economic pressure on China is how we make them hurt until the people have had enough

It amazes me how many people believe the world will side with America.....much of Europe is closer aligned with China's form of government and society than America's......let that sink in.

Western Europe and Asia will not side with China
Just because some European nations have some form of socialism

We are gonna find out just how addicted to cheap shite we are. Also how much politicians will take the opposite side of Trump purely out of spite or political theater.

It's time to crush China's economy. Their debt bubble is enormous, it's time to push them off the cliff.

I don’t want 5G. It’s a violation of 4th amendment.

That is their choice.
But we shouldn't have to "go along to get along". And we would also do well to let Europe have the UN (they already have a big chunk of its organizations).

Cut all ties with China. We will figure it out.

Let’s hope you’re correct. Something tells me the NWO elites are more in-line with China’s societal vision than America’s and certainly more than Trump’s vision. Lol!
