President Trump said he’ll hold a press conference on China on Friday, as he weighs sanctions against Beijing for its crackdown on Hong Kong.

The administration reportedly plans to revoke the visas of thousands of Chinese graduate students and researchers in the U.S. who have direct ties to schools affiliated with China’s People’s Liberation Army. Thousands of students would be expelled from the U.S., The New York Times reported Thursday.

Mr. Trump also has criticized Beijing heavily for allowing the coronavirus to spread to the rest of the world.

China is going through a period of pretending superiority over the USA.

This is getting the blame for the steep drop in the market which recovered somewhat by close..but one guy i watched had already warned it was going to happen due to pensions rebalancing for end of month

My completely apolitical, legally immigrating wife can stay, sorry.

They aren’t ALL our enemies Lurker, grow up. Any Chinese National that has ever belonged to the CCP needs to go, yes. (5% of Chinese belong to the Party.)

I was in China a lot from 1997 to 2000. Most of the Chinese I met were hard working industrious people. At the time I was there the Communist Party of China members, the “rulers”, were 4% of the population. Therefore 96% of the population were ruled by the 4%. And they ruled ruthlessly.

I spoke to people whose friends were disappeared. One day there the next day gone. At that time they were just starting to talk about it because of Tiananmen Square. Some of them had had enough.

We need to focus our wrath on the 4%. They are the gods of China. And they are evil incarnate.

They effectively dropped a neutron bomb on the United States that killed thousands and thousands and devastated our economy.

Compare that to if we knew for a fact that they were behind sending two airplanes into skyscrapers that killed 3000 and barely made a dent in the economy.

I don’t know the exact plan but I do know that China needs to be devastated.

The ChiComs took the autonomy from Hong Kong, and freedom from the people of Hong Kong.

Therefore they must lose the benefits of a free Hong Kong.

The Sovereign recognition of Hong Kong, and convertibility of the Hong Kong Dollar must be revoked. Hong Kong must get the same trade treatment as the mainland - tariffs.

Refugee status for the yacht people of Hong Kong fleeing communist oppression in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the EU.

“We need to focus our wrath on the 4%. They are the gods of China. And they are evil incarnate.”

I am. We need to make 20% of that 96% furious enough with the 4% that they drag them into the streets and tear them limb from limb.

That means we need to teach the 96% that putting up with that 4% is going to cause real pain.

Immediately deport all H1Bs, OPTs and other non-immigrant visas from Communist China. Halt all immigrant visas until a complete and total investigation can be completed.

Reinvestigate all Communist Chinese who became American citizens for any Communist Chinese ties. Seems every week anyone Communist Chinese spy is found working in the US Defense Industry

Recognize Taiwan in the one China policy

Arm Taiwan to the teeth

Ban Hong Kong businesses from operating in the US

100% economic embargo against Communist China. Not just tariffs, an outright ban

Invalidate all Communist Chinese bought bonds

Immediate patriation and closure of all Communist Chinese-owned businesses, such as AMC Cinemas, Epic Games, Legendary Pictures, Smithfield until American ownership
