#1 Isn't this almost out of Al-Qaeda's playbook? It's like planting the second device to go off some time after the first one.

Dozens of them: strategic plan

#3 U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler from Georgia accused China of holding up shipments of test kits: "Testing is core to opening our country back up. I'm concerned that China's holding up test kits. They're playing games with trade policy to prevent us, the United States, from getting the testing that we need."

Is there a coded Loeffler stock tip in this ?

#5 Honestly, I don't know if the Chinese are even capable of supply effective medical supplies. How much of what they supplied was always sub-standard, and just foisted off on the third-world?

#6 Cheating is in the Chinese DNA. Outsiders - and that means anyone not in the extended family - may be freely cheated. In fact you're selling yourself short if you play honestly. There's not enough to go around in China and too many people. Cheating is the norm.

This is just them ripping off distant foreigners they will never meet. Do they really even exist? If so, who cares? Your wife is pestering you to buy a house for her family to live in for free. Dare you oppose her?

#7 I'll go with Spike on this one.

The Chinese commercial practice, as described by Derbyshire (200x - I can't find the article) is. (a) Capture the market by selling superior product below costs.
(b) Once you driven the competitors out, recoup your looses by cutting quality (costs).

#8 This is just them ripping off distant foreigners they will never meet.

It's tough to rip off someone who will never buy shit made by the Chicom Chinks; I'm one of them now, have been for about a few months. This practice will pick up steam real soon.

#9 Sorry to be a spoil-sport, Raj, but the computer, on which you wrote this resolution, was made in China. So is your smart phone. And look at the small script on your heart meds.

#10 The latest joke a heard:

- Will the virus last long?
- Don't worry, it's made in China!

#11 I'm pretty sure ASUS motherboards & AMD chips are of Taiwanese origin. I have a flip phone (i.e., expensive watch), and I guess I'm SOL on the Amiodarone. I'll take that, I suppose - like I have a choice on that third one...

Not transshipped with relabeling?

#15 as described by Derbyshire

Wasn't that the Walmart model?

#16 Gigabyte Boards are made in either Taiwan or Singapore. I've used them for several builds and they're a really good product. They use 'solid capacitors', so you don't get the electrolytic cap failures like the other manufacturers' products (although many of those folks have upgraded to the solid-type in the last couple of years).

#17 g(r)om - just checked the mobo, and it's indeed made in China.

#18 #17 Most computers/handhelds are. Used to worry about it quite a bit. Not because I believe they can conquer the World - they don't have what it takes. But because their history if full of periods when they pull in and pretend the rest of the World doesn't exists. And then what happens to us?
