When asked about the loans, the Treasury Department and the Small Business Administration did not comment specifically on the Chinese subsidiaries and pointed to the general parameters of the PPP loan program.

Meanwhile in the South China Sea ....

Distraction?!?! Lmfao

LiftTheTravelBan

The zchinese stock and bond markets have had big gains since the fed began easing/injecting liquidity. Totally disheartening; encumbering struggling middle-class Americans by printing cash, handing it to wealth investors to keep them from bankruptcy, who in turn invest it abroad!

Lmaooo!!!

GOVERNMENTS HAVE TWO PROBLEMS TO SOLVE: ✌ COVID19 AND THE ECONOMY. KEEPING 40 DAYS WOULD STOP THE PANDEMIC NATIONS MUST UNITE AND SOLVE THE ECONOMY.

Just another way to make his cronies more money and rip off the wealth of this country

People in your own country are on the brink of financial ruin and you won’t help them but you’ll help other nations 😱. I just can’t with these people. Take note people come election time if your not homeless go vote them out.

WTF?

Shame!

There once was a grump named Trump Who went out looking for hump But when he got there Putin’s derrière was bare So he settled on Roger Stone’s tiny pump.

But Biden is the Chinese sympathizer! lol

Still think this Administration is tough on China?

Some people will eat anything the liberal owned media feeds them

I thought Trump was tough on China but here he is giving shady Chinese businesses $$$ that coukd have gone to US companies

Trump wants China to interfere with the election so he will win...

JoGonx that's nothing when he dished out ag bailout money for the damage his tariffs did two of the largest pork farms eligible turned out to be owned by chinese companies. let that sink in.

Nice pic of the handshake by the way. Well chosen. Did you know...that money kept those employees paid? Is this another false flag trying to tie trump to what exactly?.......1/2

No surprise at all. China and Russia are both trying to destroy the US and democracy.

And yet they talk about how they don’t have $ for unemployment!!

Not hard to believe since most everything we need to try to fight the virus comes from China. Maybe that’s why Trump won’t have american companies help make the “PPE” that is so desperately needed! Why is that Trump?

GeoffRBennett Wow, he blames China for everything too.

GAO why wasn’t this caught and stopped? DOJPH SenateGOP what are you guys doing?

That's a most unflattering photo of Trump!!! 🤣

2020NYGIANTS Trump talked to the Chinese President about help getting reelected didn't he? Is this his part of the deal? This is POTUS !!!

GeoffRBennett lol

45 and his administration is the worst!

Im sure Obama had set up countless systems like this it would take am army of accountants to track then all down. Congress itself had to originally approve them.

That's traitor trump!

Surprise. Surprise. Surprise.

Why are people supposed to be surprised when a fiscally inefficient govt gives out money to people it's not supposed to? Stupid stuff like this has been going on for like decades now...

And the people who he's supposed to govern are left out in the cold to fend for themselves. Trump and his swamp are unworthy to serve.

Scrutiny or investigation?

Mary J. Blige is one of the most loving and loyal ladies I ever known

Whyyyyyyyyyyy ?

Meantime cities grappling with COVID can't get funding! Thanks GOP like MoscowMitch and SenateGOP
