“ ‘We should take our supplies and go back home. Let the Chinese virus rampage through the ranks of the GT and the rest of the Communist Party.’ ”

That’s hedge-fund manager Kyle Bass taking aim at Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Communist Party-backed Global Times daily newspaper, in a now-deleted tweet cited by Bloomberg on Sunday.

Bass, chief investment officer of Hayman Capital Management, was responding to a tweet from Xijin in which he was complaining about U.S. aid arriving late.
