For everyone who wants to make China pay, consider this:

USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Ronald Reagan are the only two US aircraft carriers in the Pacific; both have sailors who have tested positive to COVID-19

•The diagnoses have prompted USS Theodore Roosevelt to port in Guam, where it could be held for at least a month

•USS Ronald Reagan is currently in port in Tokyo, Japan, and it is unclear whether all of its crew will now be quarantined

•China now appears to have a free hand in the Pacific - alarming news given heightened tensions between Beijing and Washington

•The two superpowers have traded barbs over the origins of COVID-19, and China accused the US of 'playing a dangerous game' by sailing a destroyer near Taiwan

If they try and move that free hand, watch how quickly those two carriers see the quarantine lifted and leave port.

Can any one name the last war we had with a trading partner?

How many wars have we had with China since we started trading with them?

How many wars did we have with them when we were not trading with them? Vietnam and Korea come to mind.
