Conservatives have a penchant for trying to destroy the government and proudly deregulate and cut much needed jobs. This is just another example of why conservatives should never be allowed to govern as the majority party or in the executive branch.In 2007, Dr. Robert Fontaine, a CDC epidemiologist and one of the longest serving U.S. officials in the adviser’s position, received China’s highest honor for outstanding contributions to public health due to his contribution as a foreigner in helping to detect and investigate clusters of pneumonia of unknown cause.
But since last year, Frieden and others said, growing tensions between the Trump administration and China’s leadership have apparently damaged the collaboration.
“The message from the administration was, ‘Don’t work with China, they’re our rival,’” Frieden (former Dir. of CDC)said.
This administration politicizes everything in an effort to gain domestic support, but in the process and obviously in this case, damage all possibilities of cooperation with its political targets. The President recently lamented that he wished that China had warned US earlier. Well, that's totally unrealistic. You can't bully someone and expect that person to warn you that you're in danger.
