The world woke up basically and the virus was everywhere. So Scarry that the only safe place is your home not a villa in France or an estate in Madrid but your house with no efficient power and water with your family all camped in.

The funniest / saddest part of it is that it might just be the first salvo. All of the COVID might just be the first of others to follow if both AMERICA and CHINA are not called to order.

There is a theory used in the western world about being a new kid in a new school. Rather than wait for the bully and its henchboys to come after you, it pays you to go find the Head bully himself and punch him out publicly. The theory is to take out the biggest bully and announce to the whole school that you should not be toyed with. Well, President Donald Trump did that.

Russia and its President are his personal friend business-wise and the rest are already an over flog concept that even Hollywood is no longer using anymore. Barack already killed Osama, Syria is no longer an issue, Iran and North Korea are being schooled, and that's that so the only bully in the courtyard is CHINA.

US, CHINA, COVID-19 relevance? TRADE WAR.
A little Economics 101, Monopoly to open market to Free trade to global trade to INTERNET to free trade and GLOBAL MARKET. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services was $616.8 billion in 2019. The import was $3.1 trillion and exports were only $2.5 trillion. In 2019, the U.S. trade deficit in goods alone was $866 billion. Google it.

These are the top 5 nations America trades with
Mexico
Canada
China
Japan
Germany

The countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits in goods are not always its most important trading partners. Some nations export a lot without importing much. But the top five trading partners also have the largest deficits.

Mexico - $615 billion traded with a $102 billion deficit.
Canada - $612 billion traded with a $27 billion deficit.
China - $559 billion traded with a $346 billion deficit.
Japan - $218 billion traded with a $69 billion deficit.
Germany - $188 billion traded with a $67 billion deficit.

Now another fact

The Largest U.S. Deficit Is With CHINA
More than 40.5% of the U.S. trade deficit in goods is with China. The $346 billion deficit with China was created by $452 billion in imports. The main U.S. imports from China are consumer electronics, clothing, and machinery.
OK time to stop the Economics lecture. Now that we have established the BIGGEST BULLY factor and that President D. Trump was a Businessman before being a politician and so much have been written about that including himself.
Now, on one hand, we have a President formally a Businessman with a street fighter or schoolyard take out the bully mentality and make a name for yourself and on the other hand, A REAL BULLY with an aggressive mentality of our ideology makes perfect sense President Xi Jinping.

Many of these imports that up the trade deficits are actually made by American companies. They ship raw materials to be assembled in China for a lower cost. They are counted as imports even though they create income and profit for these U.S. companies but to someone wanting to announce himself to the whole world, it is a perfect opportunity to actually punch a bully.

Punching the bully / China has been all he has been doing ever since he got the job unless you are illegal migrant workers, women, and Democrats.
Now the situation is not really that bad, its business mix with a little politics e.t.c or so it seems until this tweet

I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on.........
Dated Feb 21, 2019

By 2019 China the Big bully was about to roll out its 5G.
On 31 October Chinese telecom companies launched 5G services in more than 50 Chinese cities, creating one of the world's largest 5G networks.

China is not the first country to roll out 5G. But it is building one of the world's biggest 5G markets very quickly.
Speaking at a 5G convention in Beijing in November, China's minister for industry and information accused America of using cybersecurity as an excuse for protectionism. Punching the bully innocently and unnecessarily.

IMPLICATIONS
In 2019 the President of the biggest and current superpower was asking for what's its bully friend would roll out 8 months later in 50 cities across China.

Presently VIAVI said that 5G has been deployed in 378 cities across 34 countries as of January 2020. Leading the pack is South Korea with coverage in 85 cities. China takes second place with 57 cities, followed by the US with 50 and the UK with 31. The remaining countries in the top ten for 5G are Saudi Arabia, Spain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Australia, Germany, and Romania. (And go and check South Korea and the rest have very little cases of coronavirus )

The question is 'And so what if America gets the technology later than China?' The Answer?
"The Fifth generation of mobile network technology is here and it's expected to have a bigger impact on the economy than any previous iteration contributing more than $13 Trillion to output by 2035. According to the forecast, China is set to see the most economic gains from the rollout.

In 2019 America is on trade deficit to China to the tune of $346 billion, China is about to roll out what would provide $13 trillion in terms of trade and China is forecasted to be or would be the largest beneficiary of the $13Trillion and you are asking your top scientists on tweeter that where is your 5G?

Please don't let me lose you try and follow me.
What is 5G?
Whereas 4G brought us(2010) the network speeds necessary for online apps and mobile-streaming, 5G represents a monumental leap forward. Beyond the improvements to our existing ecosystem of devices—more speed and better stability—researchers believe that 5G can serve as the underpinning for fully-connected industries and cities.
Developing 5G networks and implementing them into the many industries of the global economy is a massive undertaking, and just seven countries are expected to account for 79% of all 5G-related investment.


The 7 countries are
United States
China
Japan
Germany
France
United Kingdom
South Korea

Of the 7, China has been picked to be the most to benefit from it.
Being the world’s largest manufacturer means China is well-positioned to leverage the power of 5G networks. With nearly 11 million 5G-enabled jobs and over $1.3 trillion in output by 2035, China’s estimates are magnitudes larger than the other countries on this list.

A reason why China is such a cost-efficient place to make things is its well-established network of suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors. All three of these sectors are likely to implement 5G networks for improved speed and efficiency.

China is no slouch when it comes to innovation, either. In terms of patent activity, it ranks second in the world. Shenzhen, once a small fishing village, has become China’s answer to Silicon Valley and is home to domestic telecom giants like Huawei and ZTE Corporation

LETS RECAP

The trade deficit in 2019 to China is $346. The $346 billion deficit with China was created by $452 billion in imports. The main U.S. imports from China are consumer electronics, clothing, and machinery.

Many of these imports are actually made by American companies. They ship raw materials to be assembled in China for a lower cost. They are counted as imports even though they create income and profit for these U.S. companies.

5G would only increase America's dependency on China goods and cheap labor, thereby making that Trade deficit only go up because only one country has what it take to mass manufacture 5G equipment and requirement and they hold it's patent rights.

"With the Chinese government firmly committed to establishing China as a world-leading 5G nation, the opportunity for Huawei in its home market is immense.

"However, the rest of the world can't afford to get left behind, and without access to Huawei infrastructure US mobile network operators, in particular, will need to rely on alternative suppliers who may be more expensive and less advanced with 5G."

There have been various accusations and counter-accusations of who did what first to who and who replied with another version of the disease. We might never be privilege to that conversation but one thing is for certain ' when two Elephants are fighting the grass is the victim.'

My fear is for no sour loser. Whoever losses should just accept as Germany did and not create CORONA VERSION 2.0
