Liz Cheney, the Republican deputy for Wyoming, accuses China of making a strategic decision to spread the Corona virus worldwide, so that she does not suffer alone from the consequences of the virus.
Chairs the daughter of Dick Cheney, former Vice-President George W. Bush's China team in the Republican Party, and was entrusted with the development of ideas and policies and legislative strategy to combat the threat posed by the Communist Party of China to the United States.
In remarks to Fox, Cheney said, "China cannot be a civilized member of the international community because of what it committed."
Cheney pointed out that evidence and evidence confirm that "China could have stopped the spread of the epidemic from its origin in Wuhan by stopping internal travel to and from the city, but the Chinese Communist Party deliberately continued to allow travel from Wuhan to the United States and Europe."
Cheney tweeted that standing up to China's threats must ensure US military supremacy, and ensure that the US armed forces have the resources to deter any Chinese threats.
She believes that instead of apologizing to the world, China adopted an aggressive strategy using a global propaganda machine, using social media to blame the United States, accusing Washington of being behind the spread of the virus in China, and Beijing mocking the way President Donald Trump dealt with in the face of the spread of the virus inside the states United, according to Cheney in her meeting with Fox.
Trump and his senior advisers pay direct responsibility to China for the infection of more than 1.5 million Americans with the virus, and for the deaths of nearly 90,000.

Movements in Congress.
Cheney chairs the Republican members of the House, which is the third most important position among Republicans in the House of Representatives, after Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Speaker of the Legislative Program for Republicans in the House, Representative Steve Scalia, and her tough stances toward China gain wide acceptance among Republican congressmen .
In contrast, House Democrats are reluctant to direct the shares of accusations against China, and insist on attacking President Trump and his administration’s performance and the way they confront the spread of the epidemic within the United States.
Cheney introduced a bill to honor Chinese physician Li Wenliang, who gave early warnings of a pandemic virus, before being arrested by Chinese authorities, who would later become infected with the Corona virus and die from it.
Cheney is not moving alone, as Congress has adopted a number of anti-China legislation in recent weeks, with the strength that it represents in support of President Trump's anti-China rhetoric calling for the punishment of China.
The US Senate also unanimously approved legislation calling on the administration of President Donald Trump to tighten its response to China's campaign against the Muslim Uighur minority, and the draft was referred to the House of Representatives, in which Democrats have a majority to vote.
Trump is trying to take advantage of this hostile trend against China by describing the Corona virus as a "Chinese virus" or "Wuhan virus", accusing the Chinese authorities of lying and covering up the spread of the virus outside the Chinese borders, while pledging several times to punish China.
In a tweet a few days ago, Cheney stressed that "the Chinese Communist Party can never be allowed to decide the future of the future, and we look forward to working through the China task force to protect US national security interests."
Liz Cheney's attack on China was not limited to what is related to the Corona virus, and she does not consider that her call to hold China accountable is to deflect attention from Trump's bad performance against the virus, she says, as her hostility extends to China before the Corona pandemic.
Since her entry into the House of Representatives at the beginning of 2017, Cheney has repeated her broad accusation against China, including what she sees as a long history of Chinese hostility to the United States represented in stealing US economic and technological secrets.
