Addi,

I do not disagree with you about the facts but only about what we should do in response to them.

While you see the article as protecting China, I wrote it from exactly the opposite point of view: protecting the rest of the world regardless how good it will do also for China.

As of myself I have no doubts where the virus came from, to the market in Wuhan and from there to the world, and how it came TO China, TO Wuhan and from where. The history of this virus is more complex than the public is able to imagine nor digest, so I'll keep the details to myself.

My article is not about acquitting China from it’s part of responsibility but to say that not all what is legally right to do is also practically smart to do.

My motto: Our desire for revenge on others must not cause us more harm than others have already done to us anyway. (“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind”. Mahatma Gandhi).

Self-destruction in the name of the desire to take revenge on others is not the only choice. We need to be smart and not just right. Our need to return normalization to the world economy must overcome our desire to run amok and vent our anger.

We have children to feed and families to maintain, and that is far more important than starving others and destroying their families.

The article seeks to balance. The article suggests taking into account the damage that will be done to us by a boycott of those who provide us with almost everything we consume, and not just calculate the damage that will be done to them by a boycott against the supply of everything we consume.

Committing suicide to kill the enemy is a method of stupid terrorists, not of smart armies.

I'm sorry to sound like Trump, but as I recall it was exactly his agenda on his first day as president: to bring production back to the West and reduce to zero the absolute dependence of world consumption on one country. But the hate for Trump was greater than the love for USA and here we are.

This is the step that I think must be done, with or without the virus. And believe me, for this strategy, the one who has to pay me is the West and not the CCP ...

Unfortunately no one likes to pay for someone who thinks outside the box. Neither they nor we. Everyone pays a lot to hear only what reinforces the opinion that we are captives anyway.

Our instinct is to punish others by destroying them instead of compensating ourselves by building our own success that will be much greater than theirs.

This is our main problem. That hatred for others outweighs the love we have for ourselves. Only arms dealers and coffin sellers get rich from this.

The lab leak has been obvious for nearly a year and a half. And yes, China should be responsible on all fronts. This article doesn't even mention the fact that China stopped all air traffic between Wuhan and the rest of China, but allowed, for nearly a month, hundreds of international flights from Wuhan, intentionally seeding the world with the virus.

How much does the author receive from the CCP?
