Why Italy and Iran?

Italy and Iran have been two of the countries hardest hit by the W***n c****av***s, outside of China. Why? Helen Raleigh explains at The Federalist:

The reason these two countries are suffering the most outside China is mainly due to their close ties with Beijing, primarily through the One Belt and One Road (OBOR) initiative.

OBOR is Beijing's foreign policy play disguised as infrastructure investment. Here's how it works: China and country X agree to do an infrastructure project in country X. Country X has to borrow from a Chinese bank to finance the project. A contract is always awarded to Chinese companies, which then bring supplies and Chinese employees to country X to build the project.

As a result of One Belt and One Road, there are more than 300,000 Chinese living in Italy. Bet you didn't know that!

Almost exactly a year ago in March 2019, against warnings from the EU and the United States, Italy became the first and only G7 country to sign onto OBOR. As part of the deal, Italy opened an array of sectors to Chinese investment, from infrastructure to t***sportation, including letting Chinese state-owned companies hold a stake in four major Italian ports.

Lombardy and Tuscany are the two regions that saw the most Chinese investment. Nearly a year later, the first W***n c****av***s infection case in Italy was reported in the Lombardy region on Feb. 21. Today, Italy is experiencing the worst c****av***s outbreak outside China, and Lombardy is the hardest-hit region in the country.

The Iran case is interesting as well:

2019 was the year Iran officially signed up to OBOR. China sees Iran as a crucial player to this initiative because Iran is not only rich in oil but also lies in a direct path of an ambitious 2,000-mile railroad China wants to build, which will run from western China through Tehran and Turkey into Europe.

Today, Iranian health officials trace the country's c****av***s outbreak to Qom, a city of a million people. According to the Wall Street Journal, China Railway Engineering Corp. is building a $2.7 billion high-speed rail line through Qom. Chinese technicians have been helping refurbish a nuclear-power plant nearby. Iranian medical professionals suspect either Chinese workers in Qom or an Iranian businessman who traveled to China from Qom caused the spread of the c****av***s in Qom.

News reports indicate that a number of high Iranian officials have contracted c****av***s, and I believe at least one or two have died. Raleigh explains:

Although on Feb. 1 the Iranian government banned its airlines from flying to China, it made an exception for Mahan Air, an unofficial airline for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The WSJ reported that Mahan Air had carried out eight flights between Tehran and China between Feb. 1 and Feb. 9 to t***sfer Chinese and Iranian passengers to their respective home countries. This explains why so many high-level Iranian officials are infected by the c****av***s, including First Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri and more than 20 lawmakers.

Relying on China for economic development was never a good idea, but it turned out to be more dangerous than anyone knew.

Another reason why Trump was right to ban flights from China. This example puts an end to the argument presented by “Joey Boy Biden” that Trump’s decision was because he was Xenophobic or rascist.

Over a million living in Canada...

Over 3 million in America...

Over a million in the UK...

Lots of Chinese people... Lots of immigrants... Odd that

The Chinese (if up to know good) are very patient.

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Most are probably just working or studying...

Definitely some spies in there...

I assume America has spies in China too...

MR Mister Loc: Washington DC

Ah, you left out Somalia, where China is drilling an oil well, and now thousands of locals are dying of an unknown sickness! ??????

We have many Chinese working in our Universities and with our large Technology Companies that could also be carriers and have possibly exposed the c****a v***s to other students, faculty and research workers.

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

And dozens of other nations....

Globalization has led to a large number of fluid populations...

What's your point?

Is that where they're bleeding to death from the eyes? That isn't a flu type v***s, maybe be another test for what to use next time? But I think the g*******t are doing it, not the Chinese. Bill Gates is my #1 suspect.

============
China's population in 2017, is 1.386 billion. Chinese have been fleeing their country since WW2. Likewise Chinese have been migrating to the US at the same time. And decades after that they found productive means of settling in the US. They send their pregnant women to the USA to deliver their babies to get the Birth Right citizenship. SF Chinese had very lucrative business processing these t***sients with their clinics where they deliver the babies. I suppose that was now closed.

In most countries, there are Chinese. The Pacific is now under the Chinese control mostly. That is why China protects it by setting up military installation at the Spratley islands. Europe and Canada are both populated by Chinese. The Philippines, South Korea, and Japan are now engulfed by Chinese businesses and people.

Iran and China have closest ties on trade, oil, and weapons.

Well, you missed it entirely. I try it once more, most of the locals living around the Chinese oil drilling site are dying from some unknown disease. So, I have to wonder if China is doing two jobs at one time.

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Ah... I see... Possibly... But why k**l off nomads?

MR Mister Loc: Washington DC

It's not for the nomads, but for the effect, for information, a test! Can you not see it?

Peewee Loc: San Antonio, TX

Don't know if you listen to Benjamin Fulford on YT. But he says Bill Gates the "de-population man" of Microsoft fame, has surrendered to Chinese officials. I've listened to him off and on for years and he's right about 50% of the time.

How many were traveling back and forth to China during the dangerous time in China ? It is not the Chinese who were in place, it is those who were " commuting " regularly between China and the other country.
