Senator Lindsey Graham wants China to "pay big time," including cancelling some of the US' debt to the country, for its initial lackluster response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Graham agreed with Senator Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, who said last week China should waive some of the US government's nearly $1trn debt after "covering up" the health crisis that originated in its Wuhan province until the outbreak could no longer be contained.

"Makes sense to me," Mr Graham said of Ms Blackburn's proposal. "If it were up to me the whole world should send China a bill for the pandemic."

Mr Graham's and Ms Blackburn's comments echo the widespread belief among congressional Republicans that China ought to pay some sort of reparations for being the origin of yet another global health crisis.

Before people from our government criticize china they should take a long hard look at how the federal government responded or the lack of a response. Stuff like this just seems like a blatant attempt to distract people from the american federal government response.

Why not just sue God, hes the one who let this happen in the first place. Besides, its a hell of a lot better than properly responding to a crisis or taking responsibility for anything at all ever once in their lives.

How about suing Donald Trump as well? He knew this could be a problem since November. He knew it WOULD be a problem since January. He downplayed it, covered up facts, and called truth "a hoax" to make himself look better. He even at one point said not to count certain people so the numbers stayed low.
