The big cover-up continues. But no America media is covering the cover-up. Instead they are waging war on President Trump.30
Beijing Expels Mainstream U.S. Media Journalists from China – and Hong Kong
By Frances Martel, Breitbart, March 17, 2020:
The Chinese Communist Party announced on Wednesday Beijing time that it would ban American citizen journalists from several mainstream publications from working in China, claiming it a “reciprocal” measure to the U.S. State Department limiting Chinese state media staff to 100 Chinese nationals per media outlet.
Story continues below advertisementThe Global Times, a Communist Party propaganda newspaper, listed the new provisions as follows:
First, in response to the US designation of five Chinese media agencies as “foreign missions”, China demands, in the spirit of reciprocity, that the China-based branches of Voice of America, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and Time declare in written form information about their staff, finance, operation and real estate in China.
Second, in response to the US slashing the staff size of Chinese media outlets in the US, which is expulsion in all but name, China demands that journalists of US citizenship working with the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post whose press credentials are due to expire before the end of 2020 notify the Department of Information of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within four calendar days starting from today and hand back their press cards within ten calendar days. They will not be allowed to continue working as journalists in the People’s Republic of China, including its Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions.
Third, in response to the discriminatory restrictions the US has imposed on Chinese journalists with regard to visa, administrative review and reporting, China will take reciprocal measures against American journalists.
China does not allow the existence of any independent media within its borders. In autonomous regions like Hong Kong and Macau, however, China has long allowed journalism to thrive. Making the move of blocking American journalists from operating out of Hong Kong is a measure Beijing has previously refused to take.
China claims the expulsion of journalists from outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post, which are harshly critical of President Donald Trump and his administration, is a move mirroring the limiting of operations of Chinese media outlets like the Global Times, China Daily, and the Xinhua News Agency, all of which answer directly to dictator Xi Jinping and are prohibited from criticizing Beijing.
“The above-mentioned measures are entirely necessary and reciprocal countermeasures that China is compelled to take in response to the unreasonable oppression the Chinese media organizations experience in the US,” the Global Times stated. “They are legitimate and justified self-defense in every sense. What the US has done is exclusively targeting Chinese media organizations, and hence driven by a Cold War mentality and ideological bias.”
The Trump administration designated five Chinese state media outlets — Xinhua, China Daily, Hai Tian Development USA, China Global Television Network (CGTN), and China Radio International — “foreign missions” last month because their purpose is not to share news but to promote the agenda of the Communist Party.
“Unlike foreign media organizations in China, these entities are not independent news organizations,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in February, explaining the limits on the number of Chinese propagandists allowed to operate in the United States.
At the time, China branded the restrictions a “ridiculous war against Chinese media.”
In announcing the new measures Wednesday, the Global Times condemned the limits set following the “foreign mission” designation, but it did not identify the action that initially triggered Washington’s response: China expelling two Wall Street Journal journalists in February after the newspaper published an opinion piece condemning the Communist Party for hiding the true extent of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. The expelled journalists were not involved in the writing or editing of the offending piece.

One can only hope that over the following year all major companies will be quickly building plants on this side of the world, and slowly moving production here as everything is being prepared here.
The medical equipment, medical tools, engineering parts, and so on move quickly to bring production back and out of China.
The more China loses manufacturing, the less power it has over North America and Europe. China has sealed itself off from the world via its borders, border policies, and politics; with no foreign manufacturing, its economy will only be internal. It will also have to deal with a great deal of unemployment.
Oh yes, when the manufactures leave, they should sabotage their equipment, destroy their equipment, make it impossible to continue using the equipment and plant by the Chine government.

Once the journalists are gone, China can begin incinerating bodies and the infected elderly at will with no accountability.

What accountability? Its China, and it does what it wants.
If it wasn’t for its demand that any foreign company manufacturing there turn over the details of their technology, China would still be the awkwardly backward country it was 60 years ago. Offering cheap labour was its carrot to the first world companies. Now no more worrying about accountability or worrying about what the world says. Now the world worries about what China can do.

After the Handover in 1997, the Chicoms took over the
media and the utility industry. That’s how totalitarians are.
Sound familiar? Bernie and Biden would fit in well with the
Chicoms.
Last call – Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

His latest middle east update is very interesting too.
Besides his evangelical work, Amir does a better job reporting than the majority in our “news” media. He brings it together.

The mayor of Hoboken has some kind of nasty blue rag wrapped around his head and he asks his constituents in a speech about the China Virus if they’ve “…done everything in our power to prevent what has happened in Italy from happening in our region.”
Our region?
He’s the mayor of a city, not a region.
How can Americans let something like this happen?
This is why we’re having so many problems in OUR COUNTRY.

You had to know it would come to this. The irrelevant US media screws around and does something right for a change but then reverts when they discover that they are outside their comfort zone of bashing Trump.
Trump 2020!

The ChiComs have launched World War III. THey have covered up their collapsing economy, imposed incredibly restrictive measures on their own people,and thrown the West into Chaos. They released a bioweapon that will probably kill 2.5million people in the US and the UK according to recent projections of the Imperial College in the UK. In The Meantime they have collected hundreds of billions of profits from their carefully orchestrated “panic.”
In the past 4 days the world’s markets have declined by the following:
???????? -26%
???????? -26%
???????? -25%
???????? -27%
???????? -20%
???????? -19%
???????? -16%
???????? -24%
???????? -14%
???????? -17%
???????? -12%
???????? – 17%
Now, look at this:
???????? (China) + 0,3%
China, creator of the pandemic, has miraculously “recovered”, has almost no more cases of coronavirus. The world is now beginning to feel the effects and panic about the disease. Who recovered first ?? China itself! It seems to be that this virus was a move by the Chinese government in response to the loss of the trade war with the United States. The goal: to throw the world into recession !!!
Is the scenario not clear? They are already growing! China bought almost everything it devalued on the stock exchanges around the world … with that the Chinese became owners of the global companies that are in China and without the money leaving China.
