We've known for years that China lies and cheats and steals when it comes to international trade.
Donald Trump ran for president five years ago as the ultimate China hawk on trade, and he was way ahead of the curve for protecting against China's devious behavior.
Conspiracy theorists claim China deliberately created the virus in a lab as a weapon of mass health destruction and snuck it into the U.S. That's very unlikely, but in the end, it doesn't matter what Beijing's intention was.
Some government officials are talking about kicking China out of the World Trade Organization or forcing Beijing to pay a fine.
The most intriguing idea comes from Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who proposes that the Treasury Department should stop repayment or interest payments on the $1.1 trillion Treasury bonds owned by China.
The government could make a strong case that China owes us reparations for its role in flattening our economy.
China needs to learn that its constant violation of the laws of civilized society will not be tolerated.
