has managed to bring the world to its knees to the tune of trillions of different of currencies being used to fight this Chinese instigated virus. Will we ask China for reparations , i doubt it , spineless. Meanwhile they are going back to work to continue to churn out single use plastic crap. Will we look for alternative cheap labour markets to produce more crap , No. We need to turn out our own crap at a slightly higher price , but not as high as what it has cost us from China in real terms. The EU did it to us on a smaller scale when they paid us to burn our fishing fleet , dig up our orchards and fruit farms , shut down most of our abbatoirs and send our animals a thousand miles to be slaughtered etc , making us dependent on imports from the EU at inflated prices. Our own government allowed this. When we recover from this , the sooner we gear up and start feeding ourselves and trading with the free world and not this corrupt bunch of overpaid charlatans , the better.
