I find this laughable we are sanctioning China when we can't even sanction getting all the needed supplies to fight covid19. But we can sure as hell send armed federal agents to beat unarmed civilians. That's pretty damned Machiavellian and utterly disgraceful.

NOW DO RUSSIA!

Lol. realDonaldTrump's handling of Covid19 is human rights abuse. How about IvankaTrump's Chinese sweat shops! What a joke.

Meanwhile, unmarked federal police in the U.S. are snatching people off the streets without cause.

When will the world put sanctions on the US for all it’s abuse of the law

Ok, this is very american

It's shocking to me that Wilbur is still alive, let alone still working in the administration! And I'll be damned if WIILLLBURRRR isn't the PERFECT name for him!!

Sanctions that never get enforced.... political theater.

Meanwhile, our gov't is invading US cities (run by Democrats) and attacking US citizens w/ unidentifiable agents under the guise that these citizens are terrorists etc. Yeah... we're totally in the position to judge these days.

Since when has this shit hole country care about human rights?

Trump TCB

Which companies are importing tons of good from China for the Trump org.

They are doing everything in their power to prevent China to become the new Superpower.

Where will trump get his hats and paraphernalia made

do those involve the same forced labor camps realDonaldTrump approved of and endorsed... or different ones? I'm confused.

Who woke that little gremlin up?

This is rich coming from this country. Look at all the human rights abuses that the US does on a daily basis so the US doesn't really have a leg to stand on.

Why is Trump encouraging these abuses? Trump privately & eagerly encouraged Xi, China's leader, to fill *concentration camps* with Muslim Uighurs In these camps, Uighurs are killed, sexually assaulted,& subjected to forced abortions This is genocide & it should be covered more

Finally. Something had to be done.

Watch, Trump will go to war with China to try to win Election.

Sanctions should do it👎🏽

What about Russia

stevenmnuchin1 Are my eyes mistaken, Could we actually be sanctioning China?
