Both reports should focus on not just the virus but the failure of China to be a global partner, eg: -Theft of intellectual prop -Facilitation of NK nuke program -Assisting Iranian missile program -Engaging in human rights abuses -Ignoring slaughter of endangered animals -Etc

After releasing the reports, we should make no demands. Ask China how they'll make amends. The goal is to 1) give China a chance to redeem itself or 2) encourage internal CCP fights to change leadership. Pres. Xi should go. But that's not our call. Let their people demand it.

Key to economic squeezing is Russia. At present, Beijing and Moscow have an awkward alliance. They both need and use each other, especially against the West. If Trump & the world can get Putin on board -- drug deals will need to be made, eg Crimea -- then Prex. Xi will break.

Concurrently, Trump and his team will need to lead a global PR campaign based on the sins listed in the public report, collaborating with willing allies and twisting the arms of unwilling partners. Engagement of the citizenry of each country will be of vital importance.

China will almost certainly launch a counteroffensive. They've spent 30 years building a global network of economic allies and useful idiots. They'll leverage those relationships and push back. We'll need to adjust our strategy as the backbones of allies weaken.
