What good is that going to do now? confused
The team turn up, the Chinese assist in finding the source in the market, the market is closed down, everyone is happy, the W.H.O anthem should be " puppet on a string " hehe

There is also an 11 minute video statement from a Chinese lab scientist who has fled to the U.S. It is a fox exclusive, there is no talking head or interviewer on it, just the woman talking in english and some additional text.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/chinese-virologist-c...

This scientist put the date of when the internal Chinese scientists were actively working on the first outbreak in Wuhan at 31st December, doing a walk back from there the earliest clusters must have been sometime in November.
Makes sense. The wife was going through her NHS emails yesterday and noted one from a December advising staff to take precautions due to the sudden spike in “flu” cases.

That's the whole point of a dam.

They have sent the two scientists to inspect the pile of ash in a black bin-bag which was the Wuhan wet market.

Exactly this is where Chinese investment is going. These countries all have new roads and bridges, power stations and airport terminals etc built by China. I’m constantly going to less well off countries with work and being impressed by a smooth road or new airport building and when you point it out it’s always the same “China built it” there’s also Chinese buses everywhere also. Usually the Chinese are getting some natural resources in return to power their massive building projects at home also.

It’s the new colonialism, the U.K. gave people trains and administration and cricket the Chinese are just building loads.
S'funny, you used to claim I was a conspiracy theorist when I said that China were going for 'The Chinese Dream' of world economic domination without firing a gunshot! smile

Looks like chairman Lord Browne has also resigned.
Interesting to see if this has any impact on CCP machine.

It's a definite, significant inflection point.

Sod em. We should be stepping into a brighter future rather than getting the same old filthy things done cheaper.
Our next nuclear reactors should be safe ones that cant melt down as well. You can then have more of them and
local to where you want the energy.
Amazing the amount of money that has been handed to people in authority over the years to talk china up.
Would love to see the credentials of those in the security services saying they could mitigate any risk.
Probably so obsessed with the stone age threat from terrorists that do very little damage that they ignored this threat.

Jolly good. The only reason they’re cheaper is because cpp are paying. So if we should pay more to (eg Nokia or whoever) then that’s the way it should be

My favourite thing about all this is Dowden pronouncing Huawei as who-are-we. Genius messaging.

That humanoid spam Cameron was a prime example. Nice that he also managed to get his father in law onto one of his China trade missions too.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/the...

The whole era of Far Eastern cheap has been littered with compromises and shady deals. Intellectual property theft, the export of pollution, lack of oversight or care for working conditions, dubious quality too at times and often the suspicion product is being dumped.

A chunk of blame can also go the way of gormless Gordon Brown, whose moronic pronouncement that the whole of the UK would become some sort of port industrial, service and finance based economy was risible. It did, however, influence much in the way things developed for the trend to offshore and the parallel trend not to invest in UK industry.

Yet Labour zealots still insist Labour are for the working man, despite a Labour government costing industrial jobs through London-centric crap like that rolleyes

Labour and the unions have done as much to wreck British industry as anyone.
