Rubio says it is China's Chernobyl

Marco Rubio told it like it is on Fox News last night. COVID-19 is Red China's Chernobyl.

Asked about the outbreak of the Red Chinese Disease, he said, "Well, I think it’s one worth paying attention to. It would be a dramatic, earth-shattering revelation if, in fact, it turns out to be the case. And that would be the case for two reasons.

"Number one, it’s one thing that someone became infected in the lab and may have infected some other people. That’s concerning that the same safety standards there are not high.

"But another thing completely is that a government, when they learn of it, would actively attempt to cover it up as they have if that’s the case. You know, from the very beginning of this crisis, the Chinese have been less than transparent.

"If something happened like that in the United States, there would be, because we are an open society and democracy, there would be almost immediate accountability and revelation about it at some point. And there would be a big price to pay for covering that up legally and politically. It could be a tremendous global scandal, one of the most outrageous things to happen in the modern history of the world if that were to turn out to be true."

The senator is correct. Red China has cost the West trillions of dollars. It should be shunned. All imports from Red China must be quarantined because we cannot be trust Chairman Xi.

I am not alone in this thought.

Let’s quarantine China!

There is hope. Washington is seeing the light.

Rubio said, "You know, it’s reminiscent somewhat of Chernobyl, which was obviously, that accident a while back and ironically there was the series recently about it and the way the Soviet government reacted to that. If this turns out to be the case, it’s very reminiscent of that.

"You’re already seeing some people in Africa and poor countries saying that China should be contributing to some sort of global fund to help pay reparations for what they’ve gone through. But I think there will be some tough conversations throughout the world about what needs to be done in regards to this.

"But I think no matter what, at this point, no matter what you may be reading, some articles out there by some of these people who think they know it all here’s the truth. China’s reputation globally has already been badly damaged. There are plenty of countries out there that know exactly how China mishandled this, irrespective of whether this came out of that lab or not. They’re not out there talking about it because their economies are not big enough to take China on directly.

"But the damage that China has suffered to its perception around the world is, in many ways, irreparable."

The Soviet Union lasted 74 years.

Red China is in its 71st year.
