‘I Take My Hat Off to China’: Obama’s China Ambassador Praises Chinese Response to Virus
By: Cameron Cawthorne, Washington Free Beacon, March 24, 2020 2:20 PM
Story continues below advertisementFormer president Barack Obama’s China ambassador Max Baucus, who established extensive business ties with China after leaving the ambassadorship in 2017, extolled China’s government on Tuesday for the way the country has responded to the coronavirus outbreak.
“I think that the big lesson here [is] that when you take charge and when you tell the entire country, Wuhan, other provinces what to do, they get in gear and get the job done,” Baucus said during an interview on MSNBC. “I take my hat off to China for doing so.”
The former Montana senator’s praise of China comes amid a propaganda campaign waged by China’s state-run media outlets, which have been pushing the narrative that China isn’t responsible for the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. They have attempted to deflect blame by saying President Donald Trump’s insistence on identifying China as the origin of the virus is politically motivated.
Now primarily focused on the business world, Baucus has leaned on his government work with China. The University of Montana’s Baucus Institute sponsors the school’s study abroad program in China, which is focused on understanding the Chinese business environment. Baucus Group LLC, the consulting group the former senator founded after he was removed from his ambassadorship in 2017, “provides consulting services to American and Chinese businesses,” according to his official biography.
Baucus also now sits on the board of advisers for the Alibaba Group, one of the largest tech companies in China. He is on the board of directors for Ingram Micro, which was purchased by a Chinese company for $6 billion in 2016.
HNA Group, the company that purchased it, is now on the verge of being taken over by the Chinese government due to economic problems caused by the coronavirus, which would effectively make Ingram Micro a state-owned enterprise. Ingram Micro insists that it operates as a “separate standalone company” and will continue to operate that way.
The U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and the U.S. Department of Defense had to approve the initial sale to HNA, and they continue to monitor its board composition, as well as whether the company maintains independence from its Chinese owners. It remains unclear how a government takeover would impact Ingram Micro and its corporate structure.
On Tuesday, Baucus acknowledged that the Chinese government was “authoritarian” but claimed that the people “to a large degree accept that.” He said that includes the “social credit” system, in which the Chinese Communist Party punishes and rewards citizens according to how well they serve the party’s overarching goals. Dissidents and critics of China have condemned the social credit system as a scheme to restrict human rights.
“My experience serving over there—the government will do all it can to help people because that determines the government’s legitimacy,” Baucus said. “If the people basically think that the government is doing a pretty good job, then the government can stay in charge.”

Feb.9, Trudeau, even though warned by advisors that the bug was coming, even though Canada certainly had no surplus, donated 16 tons of PPE (face shields, masks, gowns, gloves,etc.) to China. Now we have FRONT LINE STAFF without proper protection, terrified that they will be exposed (and they will be, I have 4 family members already notified of needed service at their local hospital. Ones a nurse, the others are a dental hygienist, a midwife, and a EMS).
Trudeau asked for it back just this week – no response from China so far

Thanks ed. I can’t help but wonder if Trudeau will implement the “War Measures Act”. It would obviously give him sweeping powers, but for health care providers, it would mean he could force them to serve under penalty if they refuse – “So says King Jaffe Joffer”.

I believe this is called whoring for China.
Of course the Chinese don’t mind their authoritarian government. The option is to speak out against it, and to do so means a visit to the local police, trial, re-education facility which may end up with you being slave labour or body parts.

You must despise Joe Biden then. “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man…,” Biden said this on the Chi-Coms, “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not competition for us.” This after the Chi-Com’s gave an unprecedented $1,500,000,000 to Joe’s crackhead son to play with under the guise of his brand spanking new investment business.

“Baucus acknowledged that the Chinese government was “authoritarian” but claimed that the people “to a large degree accept that.”
Because if they don’t they are murder or put into force labor camp and mainly they have no weapons to fight back with.
“My experience serving over there—the government will do all it can to help people because that determines the government’s legitimacy,” Baucus said. “If the people basically think that the government is doing a pretty good job, then the government can stay in charge.”
BFS Baucus! You are one stupid Un American FU person if you believe this crap. Chincoms is a dictator regime period. Why is Hong Kong and Taiwan standing up to them. Because they know the different between freedoms and slavery.
5 bucks said you are part of the deep state crap.

It’s interesting that all the people who admire f’ing muslums and communists in the dying atheist West never do so from Communist or muslum states. It’s like they prefer to admire them from afar.
