Why the COVID-19 Lab-Leak Theory Has New Credibility and Why It
Matters | Amanpour and Company
--- Quote ---
> With China-U.S. tensions on the increase, the origin of the
coronavirus is one issue driving a wedge between the two
nations. A hearing on Capitol Hill this week explored the
potential causes of the COVID-19 outbreak. Jamie Metzl, who
attended the hearing, warned U.S. lawmakers to not dismiss the
hypothesis that the virus leaked from a Chinese lab. He speaks
with Hari Sreenivasan about the importance of examining this
theory.

As we keep saying, the only hope for improving US-China
relations depends on a shift among Blue politicians:

> Republican lawmakers are tearing into U.S. Energy Secretary
Jennifer Granholm after she held up China as a model for the
United States to emulate on climate change.

> At the annual SXSW conference in Austin, Texas, on Friday,
Granholm praised China's efforts to tackle climate change,
saying the communist country "has been very sensitive, and has
actually invested a lot in their solutions, to achieve their
goals."
>
> "We're hopeful that, you know, we can all learn from what
China is doing," Granholm said.

> Her comments drew a heated response from GOP House members,
who accused her of "siding with China against American energy
producers."

China's current approach of trying to win over Red and Blue
indiscriminately will never succeed. The only approach with any
chance of success is to use precisely Red anti-China sentiment:

to fuel Blue pro-China sentiment. When will China finally
understand this?

Actions’

US to cooperate better, potentially opening the door for the
nations to find a way past their recent tensions.
> ...
> The comments suggest a new willingness by China to resume
talks with the US since the alleged spy balloon incident roiled
ties between the world’s biggest economies. The tone of Li’s
comments contrast with remarks by Xi a week ago, when he sought
to rally China’s private sector to help overcome “containment”
by the US and other countries

cooperate,” adding that “encirclement and suppression are in no
one’s interest.”

economically,” saying that both nations benefited from each
other’s development and pointing to last year’s two-way trade,
which climbed to a record.

I agree. But then Li screws up:
--- Quote ---
> “They all hope to see cooperation between all countries in the
world.”
--- End Quote ---
No. If the US and China are to cooperate, you must say
explicitly whom they are to cooperate against. As long as you do
not say it, US-China relations will not improve.

The correct move is becoming more and more obvious:
--- Quote ---

could be made that if China refrains from visits to Russia we
could refrain from visits to Taiwan

is China.

resources? Owning the people that harvest those resources and
then sell you those resources at below harvesting cost.

--- Quote ---
> China and India are milking Russia for all it is worth. In
some near future China might try a land purchase in Siberia. You
know how France and Russia had to sell territory to the US in
the 19th century to keep fighting elsewhere. I am sure China is
putting together an offer for water and oil rich areas in
Siberia. An offer that Russia cannot refuse.

is to buy it

> Putin buddying up with Xi , and one day he looks out his
window and see the Chinese army marching down Red Square .
--- End Quote ---
But most people who can see the correct move fail to understand
that Xi is too psychologically colonized to see it. If only Xi
were the clear thinker that so many commenters (inaccurately)
imagine him to be! Unfortunately, he is not.

--- Quote ---
> Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.) on Tuesday said "xenophobia
around China" was behind the Republican push to ban TikTok.
> ...
> Bowman’s defense of the Chinese spyware app comes as Democrats
increasingly acknowledge that TikTok gives the party an
advantage over Republicans because of its appeal to younger,
liberal voters. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, who would
have oversight of any TikTok ban, said this month that "the
politician in me thinks you’re gonna literally lose every voter
under 35, forever," if the site is banned. Bradley Beychok, the
head of the Democratic group, American Bridge 21st Century,
called TikTok a "valuable weapon" for Democrats that the party
"wouldn’t want taken off the shelf."

Is China paying attention? As I keep saying, the only hope for
improving US-China relations is to appeal to the US left by
deliberately angering the US right.

> When House Republicans proposed sanctions legislation last
summer targeting the Chinese Communist Party’s
political-influence networks, Gregory Meeks, the New York
Democrat who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee,
stonewalled the effort.
> ...
> Meeks’s public explanation for his opposition to the
sanctions, as I reported for National Review Online at the time,
is at the heart of a new progressive line on China.
> ...
> “Anti-China framing . . . inevitably feeds racism, violence,
xenophobia, and white nationalism,” a coalition of these
activist groups and the Quincy Institute, a noninterventionist
think tank, wrote in a statement opposing the Senate companion
to the EAGLE Act.
> ...
> In an essay for Foreign Affairs this year, Stop AAPI Hate’s
Russell Jeung and Quincy’s Jessica Lee call on President Biden
to bring in “personnel with a diverse set of opinions on
U.S.–Chinese relations, including those who do not believe that
the only course forward is extreme competition.” They urge
Congress to pass Meeks’s EAGLE Act instead of the bipartisan
Senate-approved bill and ask public officials to avoid using
terms such as “malign influence” and “existential threat.” This
is deemed a corrective to “foreign-policy makers’ consistent
overexaggeration of China’s threat.” Elsewhere, their fellow
travelers have blamed congressional China hawks, including Tom
Cotton, Marsha Blackburn, Rob Wittman, and others, for this sort
of rhetoric.
> ...
> The question now is whether the anti-anti-China Left will be
as successful at shaping U.S. foreign policy as it has been at
proffering a blinkered understanding of anti-Asian hate crimes.
Already, there are signs that officials have accepted the faulty
premises of social-justice activists, including the view that
there’s something inherently wrong with enacting policies
explicitly designed to counter the totalitarian Chinese
party-state
> ...
> Coupled with Biden officials’ attempts to bring the White
House’s focus on “systemic racism” into foreign policy, and
their pledge to simultaneously seek cooperation with Beijing
amid the broader competition, the progressive anti-anti-China
narrative has even begun to enter the Democratic mainstream.
>
> As anti-anti-China activists complain that policies advanced
by Joe Biden inflate the Chinese threat, the administration is
starting to concede their premises. The State Department hosted
a panel discussion in October exploring “possible links between
U.S. foreign policy and anti-Asian” sentiment. Although U.S.
officials stopped short of endorsing the claim that hawkish
China policy causes racism, Representative Judy Chu (D., Calif.)
urged them “to refrain from rhetoric that singles out China
alone as a threat,” and a panelist from the Southern Poverty Law
Center endorsed the work of Stop AAPI Hate. In the coming weeks,
the Department of Homeland Security will host a similar panel in
conjunction with the Asian American Foundation, a new outfit
co-founded by Joseph Tsai, the Alibaba executive who has
defended Beijing’s squelching of the Hong Kong pro-democracy
movement.
