중국이 과연 한국의 문재인정부를 비롯한 서방세계 여러나라들과 Cooperation 하면서, 경제교류를 앞으로 잘 할수 있을까? 옛날부터 장사의 성패는 거래자 사이에 서로 믿음을 기본으로 해서 이루어 진다고 들었었다.
지난 40 여년 동안에 미국을 비롯한 서방세계는, 당시 중국과의 교역에서 무관세법칙을 적용하여 중국산 생산품을 무한정으로 수출할수있도록 문호를 개방하여, 그결과 지금은 제2의경제 대국으로 까지 성장했다.
미국과 중국이 Covid-19 전염병의 발원지로 Wuhan의 바이러스 연구소에서 최초발생했다, 안했다의 진실공방으로, 치열한 외교전과 무역전쟁으로 확전될 위기에 처해 있는데, 이때 한국은 어떤 처신을 해서, 전염병확산도 막고, 폭망한 경제회생을 조속히해야 할텐데... 대부분의 국민들은 군사동맹국이자 혈맹인 미국과 우호를 증진 시키기를 원하고 있지만, 현정부의 지난 3년간 정책을 살펴볼때, 국민들의 바램이 공염불이 될 확율이 높아 보이는데, 걱정이 많다.
미국관리들은, 중국이 Coronavirus Pandemic이 발생하여 무섭게 퍼지는것을 외부에 알리지 않고 비밀에 부쳤었던 것으로 믿고있다. 즉 이전염병이 얼마나 무서웠었나를 알고, 이전염병 방역에 필요한 의료물품들을 확보하기위해서 한짖이었음을 다큐멘타리에서 보여주고 있다.
폼페오 국무장관이 와싱턴의 국무부청사에서 있었던 기자회견에서, 중국 지도자들이 지난 1월초에 Wuhan에서 첫발생한 Coronavirus Pandemic의 혹독함을 전세계에 알려지는것을 고의적으로 숨겼었다고, 국토방위부에서 5월1일 발표한 4페이지의 자료에 있었다고, AP가 보도했다.
Trump행정부가 이러한 중국의 행위에 대한 비난을 강화하면서, 일요일 국무장관 Pompeo가 이번 전염병이 전세계적으로 확산하게된 원인을 제공했고, 중국은 마땅이 이에 대한 책임을 피할수 없을것이다 라고 강조한 것이다.
미국은 Coronavirus Pandemic이 중국의 도시 Wuhan에 있는 실험실에서 처음 발생했음을 증명하는 증거가 차고 넘친다고 발표했다. ABC 뉴스프로그람에 일요일 출연한 Pempeo국무장관은, Wuhan의 바이러스연구소에서 발생했다고 설명한것이다. 중국은 즉각 이를 전면부인하고 나섰다. Pompeo장관은 수준미달의 열악한 중국내 실험실의 역사를 설명하면서, 그러한 중국의 실험실에서 실패한 결과로 튀쳐나온 바이러스가 전세계로 퍼지게 된게 이번이 처음이 아니라고 강조했다.
중국은 Coronavirus 바이러스 확산을 감추기위한 도구로 WHO 유엔보건기구를 교묘히 이용하고 있다라고, Pompeo장관은 강조했다. 그는 또한 중국에 대해, 미국은 그책임과 의무를 중국에 분명히 물을 것임을 경고한다고 했다.
Pompeo장관은 설명하기를, 오스트랄리아 정부도, 이번 전염병으로 세계적 경제손실, 엄청난 인명손실이 발생한것에 대해, 전적으로 중국이 책임을 져야 한다는데 동감하고 있다고 전했다. 유럽연합도 미국과 오스트랄리아의 견해에 동조하기 시작했다고 설명했다.

WASHINGTON - U.S. officials believe China covered up the extent of the
coronavirus outbreak - and how contagious the disease is - to stock up
on medical supplies needed to respond to it, intelligence documents
show.
Chinese leaders “intentionally concealed the severity” of the pandemic from the world in early January, according to a four-page Department of Homeland Security report dated May 1 and obtained by The Associated Press. The revelation comes as the Trump administration has intensified its criticism of China, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying Sunday that China was responsible for the spread of disease and must be held accountable.
The sharper rhetoric against China coincides with administration critics saying the government's response to the virus was inadequate and slow. President Donald Trump's political opponents have accused the president and his administration of lashing out at China, a geopolitical foe but critical U.S. trade partner, in an attempt to deflect criticism at home.
The analysis states that, while downplaying the severity of the coronavirus, China increased imports and decreased exports of medical supplies. It attempted to cover up doing so by “denying there were export restrictions and obfuscating and delaying provision of its trade data,” the analysis states.
The report also says China held off informing the World Health Organization that the coronavirus “was a contagion” for much of January so it could order medical supplies from abroad - and that its imports of face masks and surgical gowns and gloves increased sharply.
Those conclusions are based on the 95% probability that China's changes in imports and export behaviour were not within normal range, according to the report.
Trump has speculated that China could have unleashed the coronavirus due to some kind of horrible “mistake.” His intelligence agencies say they are still examining a notion put forward by the president and aides that the pandemic may have resulted from an accident at a Chinese lab.
Speaking Sunday on ABC's “This Week,” Pompeo said he had no reason to believe that the virus was deliberately spread. But he added, “Remember, China has a history of infecting the world, and they have a history of running substandard laboratories.”

The US government says it has "enormous evidence" to
prove the coronavirus originated in a laboratory in the Chinese city of
Wuhan.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made an appearance on a US ABC News program on Sunday and said the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Beijing has denied the allegation.
Pompeo said China has a "history of running substandard laboratories" and that this is not the first time the world has been exposed to viruses as a result of failures at a Chinese lab.
His remark is in line with President Donald Trump's claim on Thursday that he saw evidence that gave him a high degree of confidence that the virus came from the Wuhan lab.
But neither Trump nor Pompeo provided any evidence. The secretary said the intelligence community continues its work to verify the allegation.
Pompeo said China employed the World Health Organization as a "tool" to conceal the spread of the coronavirus. He warned that the US will "hold those responsible accountable."
Pompeo said the Australian government agrees that China is to blame for what he called the tremendous human and economic tolls brought on by the pandemic. He added that European countries are also beginning to have a similar view.
