Rep. Liz Cheney: China Deliberately Exported Global ‘Economic Devastation' via Coronavirus
[Breitbart] Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said China deliberately exported the novel coronavirus to avoid being the only country facing economic devastation via viral epidemic. She offered her remarks on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily in an interview with host Alex Marlow.

"There is a preponderance of opinion that this pandemic — this virus — originated from Wuhan," said Cheney. "It’s also without question — it cannot be challenged — that the government of China shut down travel from Wuhan into the rest of their country while they allowed travel from Wuhan into the rest of the world. That is without question, and that alone tells you [the Chinese government] knew that they had human-to-human transmission."

Cheney continued, "They knew it was so dangerous that they didn’t want it in the rest of their country, but yet they caused it to be exported to the rest of the world, and I think that they pretty clearly did that. I’m sure they understood the economic devastation this virus was going to cause, and I think they made a very clear, calculated decision that they didn’t want to be the only country having to face that devastation."

#1 She's probably right, though it is not impossible that China released it on purpose and sacrificed its own to credibly claim they were not committing an act of war.

#2 the government of China shut down travel from Wuhan into the rest of their country while they allowed travel from Wuhan into the rest of the world.

That's what's important - the facts, not motivations.
