    At this point, we'll be able to weed out the intuitions getting china money pretty distinctly.

      I'm not sure it's true that they practice communism within their own borders.

        Even within the country as well considering the number of millionaires and billionaires there (something that must have old Mao spinning in his grave). And many of them are anything but good party members. Several have gotten in trouble in the past for critical statements about the government.

        IIRC, the parents of one of them were executed during one of Mao's bloody schemes, and he turned an entire building of his office building into a shrine devoted to them which by its very nature is critical of the government, but was tolerated because he was too useful. That is until he made a few public remarks. Not sure what ever happened to him (he was "disappeared" at the time).

        I'm always still in trouble again

          House bills targeting China would launch coronavirus 'origins' probe, allow victims' families to sue Beijing

          U.S. House members plan to introduce two bipartisan bills Friday that address the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and would allow victims' families to sue China.

          The first bill, the "Made in America Emergency Preparedness Act," would establish a 9/11-style bipartisan commission to investigate how the pandemic started. It is being introduced by five Democrats and five Republicans.

          The second bill, dubbed the "Never Again International Outbreak Prevention Act," calls for allowing families of coronavirus victims to sue China by stripping sovereign immunity from it and any other countries "that have intentionally misled the international community on the outbreak." It will be introduced by U.S. Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Conor Lamb, D-Pa.

          ...The commission would recommend to President Biden what personal protective equipment and other goods would be necessary to address a national emergency, requiring the items to be manufactured in the U.S.

          "We simply cannot outsource our public safety and national security to foreign nations," Fitzpatrick, co-chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, said in a statement. "We must reconstitute our health care and public safety supply chain back to the United States. Medical products, protective equipment, pharmaceuticals, emergency response equipment and all other critical items and materials needed to respond to a national emergency must be produced domestically for domestic consumption, especially during a critical, time-sensitive crisis."
