WATCH: President Trump Slams China at United Nations: ‘China Must Be Held Accountable’

27

This speech to the United Nations will go down in history when, finally, the leader of the free world called out  the largely dysfunctional, failed institution. The world has changed a great deal from the time of the United Nations birth in 1945, and so has the United Nations. Eighty years ago democracies, both nascent and well established, comprised the majority of the founding nations of the UN. The members of the General Assembly were strategically aligned primarily along what would become the lines of the Cold War. America was confident that the UN would be an organization which would work in tandem with American national interests in promoting the welfare of humankind and the basic rights of very human spirit.

We could not have been more wrong.  In the ensuing years, global politics and the UN wildly changed. By the mid 60s, UN membership had more than doubled and the majority of members were hardly ‘democratic.’  It has only gotten worse. Much worse. And we fund it.

U.S. President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assem bly on Tuesday that China must be held accountable for having “unleashed” COVID-19 on the world.

 Fox News: China on Tuesday responded angrily to President Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly, in which he blamed the communist country for the coronavirus pandemic — with Beijing accusing Trump of spreading a “political virus.”

“China firmly rejects and opposes the groundless accusations made by the United States against China during the General Debate on 22 September,” Ambassador Zhang Jun said in a lengthy statement.

TRUMP EYES ‘DECOUPLING’ FROM CHINA

“When the international community is going all out to fight COVID-19, the United States is spreading a political virus,” he said, before accusing the U.S. of provoking a “confrontation” and weakening the U.N.

President Trump earlier Tuesday tore into Beijing over its botched handling of the coronavirus, which he called the “China Virus” because of its origins in Wuhan.

“The United Nations must hold China accountable for their actions,” Trump told the U.N.

“The Chinese government, and the World Health Organization — which is virtually controlled by China — falsely declared that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission,” he said. “Later, they falsely said people without symptoms would not spread the disease.”

TRUMP TELLS UN TO HOLD CHINA ACCOUNTABLE FOR CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Trump began the process of pulling the U.S. out of the World Health Organization earlier this year after the administration said the organization was too close with China. The U.S. has also called on the international community to investigate the outbreak of the virus.

The Chinese ambassador, however, described China’s response as “open” and “transparent.”

“China’s important contribution to the global fight against the pandemic is highly recognized and commended by the international community, a fact that no one can deny,” he said.

Trump had also attacked China for its environmental record, accusing it of dumping tons of plastic into the ocean and overfishing.

“Those who attack America’s exceptional environmental record while ignoring China’s rampant pollution are not interested in the environment,” he said. “They only want to punish America. And I will not stand for it.

China shot back, highlighting a number of policies from the U.S., including its withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement: “It is clear who willfully disregards the global environment and the health of people around the world,” the statement said.

Relations between Beijing and Washington have declined in recent months, not only because of the coronavirus but also over China’s human rights violations in Hong Kong and against Muslim minorities in Xinjiang, to which the U.S. has responded with sanctions.

Trump recently promised to “decouple” the U.S. from China, while threatening to block companies who outsource jobs to China from receiving federal contracts, and vowing to bring manufacturing jobs and supply chains back to the United States if reelected in November.

“We will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world and will end our reliance on China once and for all,” he added. “Whether it’s decoupling, or putting in massive tariffs like I’ve been doing already, we will end our reliance on China, because we can’t rely on China.”

Meanwhile, Europe flounders on, with “sternly worded warnings”. But in fact the Euros and UN have NO articulated plan to stop Iranian nukes. No plan… nothing in writing, nothing verbal, nothing published, spoken about, shared, implied, or whispered. Nothing, nada, zippo, bupkis, niente, nichts, squat, Fk all. Just ‘harsh words’.

Trump’s sanctions on Iran extend to countries as well as businesses. China will soon be facing those sanctions if they cozy up to Iran. Trump’s sanctions are MUCH more effective than any UN sanctions.comment image

The liberal media’s reaction to that was Trump was bullying China!
China can do no wrong with the U.N., WHO, the EU, Biden, any DEM or RINO!

IF Trump can get a second term, we need tototally pull out of the U.N. and consider starting something else to replace it.

The CCP may not last forever. Their Lech Walesa may be in the wings somewhere, and he will have Trump as an ally.

Yes, but the Chinese Communist’s grip on power is FAR WORSE than 1984 imagined to be possible.

Wade: Yes, and the weak spot is that communism always fails. It is a tyrant form of government that grabs all the power and money, and subjugates the citizenry. The average Chinese citizen is poor, and wages are very low.

But eventually socialism always makes poverty worse, because it strangles economic liberties. So communists eventually go broke, just like Venezuela is now. China lies relentlessly about their economy, and they already have government debt that exceeds 300% of GDP – the worlds’ worst debt.

And when a run on the Chinese banks starts, it will be catastrophic. Pull the pin out, and down it comes. Trump has several easy pins to pull, and here is one: offer to buy back US treasury bills held by China at 50 cents on the dollar. That would instantly destroy China’s credit, because the USA is so big, they can pay whatever the want for stuff, if they feel like it. China holds multi-billions in USA T-bills, and they would suddenly lose half their value.
But all this will take years, while the Chinese people suffer poverty and horrible subjugation.

Agreed, China has many of its own problems that our media doesn’t speak about, probably not allowed. I watch Bannon’s War Room from time to time and he covers all things Chinese pretty well.

IMPORTS. WE NEED TO STOP ACCEPTING ANY CHINESE IMPORTS, PERIOD. That will destroy their economy and bring them to their knees. And yes, I know, it will affect the innocent chinese residents. BUT, there is always collateral damage when fighting the enemy.

Thank you Mr. President for wanting to hold the Chinese accountable for the Chinese Kung Flu Wuflu killer virus that has helped to kill a lot of Americans. Too bad the House won’t hold them accountable.

And every other nation and national leader
cowardly backs off and will not criticize CHINA
The USA has the ONLY moral leader of the world
POTUS Trump is correct in his assessment of
Chinese treachery including biological warfare
for they must be held accountable and
possibly DESTROYED
If not for POTUS Trump
all the world would bow to Beijing
and orally accept their ejaculate
in submission
China has had only one goal since the ascent of
Mao Zedung

I never get too bothered about China’s treatment of the Muslims of Xinjiang. For months in Xinjiang, Muslims went around stabbing to death people on railway stations a bus stops, simply because they were not Muslim. Predictably, China reacted. Compare this with the cowardly situation in the UK. For years in Rotherham, England (and other cities like Glasgow) Muslims went around grooming and raping hundreds of white (and Hindu) English girls and the cowardly authorities, not least police, turned a blind wye rather than smash the disgusting Muslims or be accused of ‘Islamophobia’.

I mentioned to somebody ages ago that both India and China are much bigger polluters than the USA and they called me a racist… Go figure…
However how can anybody disagree with what President Trump just said to the UN..

Ivanka and her husband Jared Kuschner are avid Chinese fans — they taught their little daughter to speak Chinese and memorize a Chinese poem. So get the Chinese lovers out of the White House. The wisest strategy would be to stop all connections with China.
Accuse China of murdering more than 5 million people — that would mean putting all the citizens of China in huge jails for many long years. Our innocent dead are on their shoulders, and they must pay, if justice is to be done.
