Another irresponsible slush fund grant program started under Obama... Unfortunately the funding continued under trump as well, but the lions share was given under obama.

i read somewhere it continued in some way up to 2019, might be fake news. Only a left wing liberal government could come up with the idea to funnel US Tax payer dollars to Chinese biolabs suspected of bio warfare research.

I've been so skeptical through years of reading this type of thing, along with vaccines in places like Africa that it strikes me less as acts of nobility and research, but more as ways to circumvent US/EU laws and oversight that might normally result in hefty fines, shutdowns, negative press and possibly even jail-time. .

Pride of America is USA flagged. Operates in Hawaii Islands. But that's the only usa flagged passenger ship. The big reason is cost of crewing and construction. A USA flagged vessel operating between USA ports must be built in USA shipyards and crewed by USA sailors. Build it in China with no enviormental laws and its a tenth the price. Crew it with Indonesians and you can pay them peanuts.

I see you are a practitioner of the fine art of delivering bags of dicks to dirty commies.

Why would Obama be involved if it happened in 2017?
