Trump Antagonism Of China Could Hurt Coronavirus Cooperation | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Political aside, when China was willing to pause the economy nationwide during its lunar new year (an equivalence of Christmas in US) in January and completely locked down a giant city overnight, it sent a strong signal that how bad this virus is. US had two months to prepare, but no one cares until it’s too late.
THIS VIRUS POPPED UP IN EARLY DEC, CHINA COVERED IT UP. JAN 27 CHINA WAS LYING THAT IT WASN’T AIRBORNE. WHILE THEY ORDERED THEIR COMPANIES AND PEOPLE ABROAD TO BUY OUT ALL THE MASKS AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES IN WESTERN COUNTRIES TO SHIP BACK TO CHINA
China had this outbreak at least since 17th of Nov according to SCMP which is a state mouthpiece of CCP. Earliest possible case was in Sep according to Wuhan official in department of statistics in Wuhan. CCP Virus was confirmed to be preventable, controllable and not transmittable by humans by China and WHO until 20th Jan 2020. China locked down Wuhan a couple days later. Politics aside, China lied for too long. China lied and people died. Simple fact.
@DrDLL99 It ’s interesting! Do you think that need China’s doctors come to every American’s home and knock the door “hi Good morning American friend, would you like to hear something very important “
DrDLL99 you’d better check the facts from media or websites outside us and china to see whether China didn’t warn US. Don’t fooled by those political news.
Hello! We can’t put politics aside, especially now. Here in America we have so much at stake. Here we have a crooked Senate and a dangerous White House to clean out. We as people need to talk about and debate politicians.
The duty of doctors is to save lives,even at the risk of their own lives.
Doctors are not mercenaries.
Do you think chinese doctors will risk their lives for American wages?
I don’t think US government can protect their safety. For that reason, they will not come.
Lol yes
@台灣香腸 Except for USA
Peter yes they make more here in a week then they probably do a month in China
@Fort Red that’s maybe true 20 years ago.
“It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.

Another Chinese troll !! 😆
Of course he knew a Pandemic was coming Asia has thousands of wet markets from which new viruses emerge everyday . Stop eating scooby doo , Garfield the cat , and other animals you jerk . Change your menu items from horseshoe bats and pangolins to normal noodles and rice !
@Abraham Tan Okay, I hear you. I pray you are right. No heart feelings. I guest the stress and being cooped in on daily basics got me feeling weary. Time will tell. My vote is committed to Joe Biden.
@Hans Andersen Son, or as you put it( BRO!) What do mean SLOPE! You’re not serious about what you are saying. Commonsense tells us the virus will be a bad and sad memory to us months and years ahead. But now we need to hear a miracle, like a vaccine and hopeful instead of do this, do that, stay away each others. That’s very hard for us to do. We need to pay bills, bring food in the house and feed our kids. All day and everyday we hear only bad news. I myself feels so paranoid about washing my hands. And yell at my kids and young adults in my own household. We laugh at ourselves to relieve stress.
@Patsy Hicks Great to hear that vote is for Biden. Take care. Keep safe distance from Trump. His Moronic virus highly contagious.
@YouNeed2FearMe Yeah, even worse, Chinese communist Party paid actors and actresses to decive the general American public, delayed the prevention measures. There is proof: https://youtu.be/NAh4uS4f78o
Amazing that the same host who ran the foreign interference conspiracy theory show for 3 years is now running cover for China.
Well she is a Communist so…..
I can’t stand this b*tch
That’s your country own fault ,not china.
You had enough time to prepare.
China didn’t blame U.S for H1N1,even H1N1 killed hundreds of chinese people.
Heiliger Grimm ironic that the same lady that’s said we were living in a nightmare when trump got elected is the lady people think is a unbiased mess source
The Rachel Maddow Show = Chinese Communist Party propaganda
Getting resources and PPEs is one thing, hiring doctors from China is another, sure they have the experience, but no amount of wage is gonna get them to come. Why? Because a lot of them are military medics and doctors from the military and consequently communist party members(especially the experts), that’s one of the reasons that they can be mobilized into Wuhan so quickly in the first place.
Chinese military on US soil? Nah, Trump ain’t gonna do it.
Kaezi the only way Chinese doctors come to US is by order.
@P Regina my point exactly
I rather the death than get help from China. China needs to be exterminated.
look at all those Chinese nurses are wearing fully protected PPE, it looks like they’re completely sealed in those protective suits. Meanwhile American nurses are wearing garbage bags for PPE and grandma handmade masks. It made American nurses look like they’re from 3rd world countries.
@Danny Ball The aspiration is right and I believe every American think so too. There’s a big BUT though. Do you understand why water will flow to the lowest places. That’s how your businesses, mfg esp will go.
@Keyu Zhou They are not just brain washed: They are cultured egomaniacs who do not hold any regards for China, esp that Chinese are not whites. And the Chinese are on the rise. They are seething in jealousy. Nothing will bring them to change until they eat humble pie.
So, my advice is never to be conciliatory toward them.
You can air your reasoning for ethical people to judge. That’ll be good enough.
@The Dark DivinityYou don’t believe CCP, do you believe Starbucks? All Starbucks in China reopened including the ones in Wuhan two weeks ago. That telles you Chinese have overcomes the virus.
@Lazy Jefff If that is all you need to believe. Man oh man, it’s not hard to win you over, and not hard to lie to you either.
@The Dark Divinity Open your eyes boy
Maddow is mad mad mad as her name suggests
What a great idea! Have one country come and help another country and keep moving around the world like this. Amazing idea!
You’re assuming China’s telling the truth. Trump seems to be very level-headed and taking advice from experts. I haven’t even heard the scientists here suggest that.
NOTHING BAD COULD COME FROM THAT
@iamjohngalt
That’s because none of those scientists want to be fired by Trump!
Glad you are open-minded 😃 The Italian were especially receptive.. and China already sent 3 separate teams plus lots of medical equipment attending in 3 different regions.. !
In fact, China were very grateful (reciprocate kindness) to the Italian medical team when they were the first medical team flying into China to treat their many injured during their major earthquake in 2008!!!!
@PP C. seems like your Brain was fired before them
Heyy MSNBC how much your masters in China paid you for this?
Detective Loki, truth is hurting your naïve little girlie’s feelings.
Shill dam shame this is the kinda of idea’s you people are planting and keep bashing the usual oh btw the comfort has docked fyi
Use a period. Lol . Horrible program troll bot
While China just burns the mountains of bodies….what’s a few million less Chinese? Right Xi? Yet the media props them up. We all see it.
She makes me sick.
@Silly Milkmaid bahahahah your comment made my day
@ohcrapitsmrG good Lord. Help me pick up my eyes, they rolled out of my head
Trump is racist: fail
Trump is working with Putin:fail
Trump Will be impeached: fail
Trump tax return: fail
Ya but orange man totally bad🤥
Yet not proven doesn’t mean it’s not true or happening
Trump good for America: fail
@Mike Emerick well let’s see your against Trump because the very radical left wing News tells you that fine each to their own freedom of choice but guess what he is The preisdent and your not your intitled to your opinion 😉
@Aleksei 4 More years I will see you at the meltdown coward
i love how you guys blast trump for talking about things that arent “important” meanwhile you guys are (and have been) blasting trump rather than talking about important issues.
Because Maddow and her ilk are convinced we are all just that stupid.
Dems/media live in superficial arguments and blow up meaningless nuances and project every little thing as if it’s important……they create the new’s instead of reporting on it…pseudo new’s.
how is what he says going to hurt when we have gotten defective test kits and tents from China along with many other countries.Think about it they are already trying to silence countries and hinder their wellness.
*Burning SALT with TURPENTINE spreads flu spores like covid-19. Anybody can create lethal virotoxins! It is a gas bomb used in chemical warfare. The Covid-19 scare is also a chem-war safety drill. We are entering a new era in which anybody can create toxic weapons, due to info gleaned from the internet. The UNAIDS is in advariance with many countries who adhere to military police forensic codes which don’t allow virology in penal court! Only chemistry is legal analytics by law! Chinese “chininbark” in Quinine is the leading antitoxin and in oral Asian snake antidotes, which are afordable and effective against coronavirus! **http://www.snake-antidote.com/coronavirus.html** Inform yourselves!*
You mean the faulty test kits made by CDC which delayed the entire testing procedure?
@eraserflying *We are quinine manufacturers in Turkey, and we support the Chinese in their plot to expose the cheating virology of the UNAIDS in AFRICA. China sells QUININE to Africa, and the drug is exposing that HIV is cured with Malaria drugs. Covid-19 was designed to expose this scandal. Since 1996 China had outlawed the UNAIDS, – and only Taiwan introduced the racist org to the apostate island, while however vindicating LGBT marriage. So, decide if you prefer HIV or corona virus in BED! **http://www.snake-antidote.com/coronavirus.html*
Surprised this loon is still on the air. Nice wig
The rest of the world were looking at China and doing nothing while the whole China was in lockdown for 2 months.
@YR Z America was debating whether to put on mask or not to put on mask. DO YOU NEED TO BE PERSUADED TO PUT ON MASK. PUT ON THE MASK PERIOD IN JANUARY 2020.
LeckMichImArsch After 22nd of Jan, you guys still have so much time to prepare and your government still does nothing. The information of wuhan is crystal clear , you can basically see everything even from YT. Now you guys are in panic and blame everything on China, so stupid
@LeckMichImArsch 你这人就是个香港人或者台湾人，或者流亡海外的华人，一群人还和你这个弱智讲道理
@ Facts Feelings 你也聞到了？還吃飽了？
LeckMichImArsch the carrier
The irony of this world is that the countries that normally shout about the economy choose human rights and life in the face of the epidemic. The country that cries out for human rights in daily life has chosen economy and stock market in the face of the epidemic!
Another irony is the democratic country has a “do a deal” one trip pony (old pony) as president whereas the authoritarian country has an experienced governor in his prime…
The Dark Divinity you are the one uneducated for sure
@The Dark Divinity Yeah, even worse, Chinese communist Party paid actors and actresses to decive the general American public, delayed the prevention measures. There is proof: https://youtu.be/NAh4uS4f78o
@The Dark Divinity No doctors were killed in China. The doctors are heroes in China just like in every country.All the doctors around the world are risking their lives to save our lives. And some doctors lost their lives fighting coronavirus. It is very irresponsible to say something horrible like this, show the proofs instead of spreading the hatred and lies. What you said is also very disrespectful to the doctors who lost their lives and their families.
Chinese government is people oriented government that put human life and responsibility over human life whereas the US government is much more corporate oriented government that cares more economic benefits over human life.
Trump: Everything is under control.
Corona: Sure, under the mine l
wow… Cheerleading the Chinese… Can you stoop any lower than this?
Maddow, always trying to inflame peoples emotions with false accusations. She has finally reached Bill O’Reilly’s level. Congrats.
The Left and mainstream media prefer to protect China rather than root for and support our President during this challenging time and that tells you everything you need to know about the Left and mainstream media. Sick. Sad.
