THE world is in a complete turmoil as never before in my lifetime and all due to the coronavirus and that is all due to one country, China.

China is, and it cannot be argued any differently, the source and originator of this killer disease.

The virus must have being in China for months before they admitted the problem and that was due to the dictatorial politics of the Chinese Communist ruling party and that is why it is now so virulent.

It was kept a secret from the rest of the world, so the rest of the world did not know it was coming and could not therefore, prepare any vaccines to cures it. They were already months behind when it struck.

It is my opinion that the rest of the world should now ostracise China. Make China a pariah.

Refuse to buy any of its goods but if we do put a 50 per cent import duty on them.

This would allow our industries to compete as they are making respirators and other vital equipment.

China has to be made to pay for what it has and is doing to the rest of the world.

The rest of the world coped and traded perfectly well before China started flooding the world with its goods most likely manufactured by workers on minimum wages. That is how their prices can be so low. No, I do not exaggerate. If the Government goes ahead with The Huawei 5G system it will signing our own death warrant.You cannot trust the Chinese government for their aim is world domination.
