Graham: ‘Not One Democrat Has Come Forward with an Idea to Hold China Accountable’
1:29
According to Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo, the 2020 presidential election will be about Mainland China, particular as coronavirus takes a toll on the United States, damage which is believed to be in part due to irresponsible Chinese behavior. However, Democrats are not spending much time on that issue, which was pointed out by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) during an interview with Bartiromo.
“I mean, I believe this election will be about China,” Bartiromo said. “Most people understand what has taken place here. And President Trump has changed the conversation on China.”
“So look at this — the Democrats have impaneled a group to look at Trump, not China,” Graham said. “President Trump has made very good decisions, very hard calls consistently. Not one Democrat has come forward with any idea to hold accountable China for killing over 60,000 Americans by withholding information about the virus and putting 30 million Americans out of work because that’s what we had to do to save probably a million lives.
“Not one Democrat has come forward with an idea to hold China accountable,” he added. “China is the problem, not Trump. Democratic Party, step up. Don’t give China a pass.”

America’s China Dependency Syndrome
Lessons from the USSR.
April 28, 2020
Lloyd
Billingsley
“Made in China” has been a familiar label on products for years
but it wasn’t until March of 2020 that Americans learned of the perils that
might entail. China threatened to impose export controls on
pharmaceuticals that would plunge America into “the mighty sea of coronavirus.”
Sen. Marco Rubio told reporters the United States was “dangerously
reliant” on China for critical goods, including parts for technologies needed
to fight COVID-19. Since 2004, Chinese pharmaceutical companies have been
supplying 80-90 percent of U.S. antibiotics. Americans might wonder how they
landed in such a dependent position, and that invites a comparison with the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The world’s first socialist state, established in the world’s
largest nation, never produced a single product the West wanted or needed. For
all its vast natural resources, the USSR was an economic basket case, and by
the mid-1980s in serious trouble.
Suppose that some U.S. senator had then offered a trade deal that
ignored the regime’s human rights violations and allowed state-owned Soviet
companies to manufacture goods for the American market, all marked “Made In the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.” These would include vital pharmaceuticals
and the deal would allow the use of Soviet steel, and Soviet labor, in major
infrastructure projects in the United States.
The deal would impose no review of human rights and impose no
conditions for democratic reforms, supervised multi-party elections and such.
All that, and more, is already a done deal with China, like the USSR a
one-party Communist dictatorship that never produced a single product the
United States needs. This has come about, in large part, due to U.S. Senator
Dianne Feinstein, San Francisco Democrat.
On a visit to Shanghai in 2006 Feinstein told James Areddy of the Wall Street Journal, “I’ve been coming to China for 31 years, so I’m not a newcomer.”
That would put her first visit in 1975, one year before the death of the Great
Helmsman Mao Zedong his own self. Feinstein was then a San Francisco
supervisor, and as mayor struck up a sister-city relationship with Shanghai. On
the 2006 trip Feinstein spent time with former Shanghai mayor Zhu Rongji, “a
good friend.”
Areddy asked about the Tiananmen Square massacre then turning 21.
Feinstein said it was a “a great setback for China in the view of the world,” a
public-relations problem for China, not a human rights issue. “It was just the
PLA (People’s Liberation Army)” and China “learned lessons from it.” Still, Feinstein
admitted, “we did not discuss it.”
As Ben Weingarten noted in the Federalist in 2018, Sen.
Feinstein’s ties to China are “way deeper” than any Chinese spy in her office.
Feinstein maintained a “strictly apologist line” on China’s human rights
atrocities, and Feinstein’s husband has “profited handsomely” during her career
in the Senate. Sen. Feinstein “served as a key intermediary between China and
the U.S. government, while serving on committees whose work would be of keen
interest to the PRC.” For two decades and three election cycles, Feinstein
harbored a Chinese spy who fed “political intelligence” to Beijing’s Communist
regime. Since that article, the dossier has grown longer.
As Rosemarie Ho noted in The Nation, Dianne Feinstein failed to support the democracy protesters in
Hong Kong. When the coronavirus hit these shores, Feinstein was uncritical of
China and one of the first to cry “racism” against those who pointed out the pandemic’s origin in Wuhan,
China.
Ben Weingarten wondered how a motivated and empowered prosecutor
would operate if tasked to explore “any links and/or coordination” between the
Chinese government, Feinstein and individuals associated with her office. Such
an investigation never took place with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the most servile
apologist of Communist China since Anna Louise Strong, and
certainly the most influential. On the other hand, Donald Trump was thoroughly
investigated for “collusion” with Russia, which turned out to be a hoax.
It was the president’s tweet that brought Feinstein’s Chinese spy
to public attention. President Trump has access to all U.S. intelligence, a
major reason domestic and foreign foes alike are desperately trying to remove
him from office. In his April 19 press conference, the president called the
upper reaches of the DOJ and FBI “human scum,” and their inattention to
Feinstein, Hillary Clinton and other high-profile Democrats confirms that the
rot continues.
President Trump is now throwing down with the invisible enemy of
coronavirus and making progress despite opposition from Democrats and their
media allies. As they parrot Chinese propaganda, the president has already
started the decoupling process.
“We cannot outsource our independence,” the president said last Monday. “We
cannot be reliant on foreign nations. I’ve been saying this for a long time. If
we’ve learned one thing it’s let's do it here, let’s build it here, let’s make
it here.”
As with the USSR, we don’t need China for anything. And as Chuck
Berry said, anything you want they got right here in the USA.
Joe Biden? Seriously?
The
establishment narrative on Joe Biden is, to put it mildly, malarkey. Gropey J
actually is everything the liberals accuse Donald Trump of being – bizarre,
vulgar, dumb, corrupt, incompetent, and utterly unfit to be president. But yet
the Creepy Veepy is so much more. In the last month, this totally not-senile,
not-at-all-weird guy has assembled a track record of freaky behavior that would
put mid-eighties Crispin
Glover to
shame.
Let’s
review…
Corn Pop
is old news. Biden’s latest rambling onion-on-the-belt monologue was something about
little kids at a pool rubbing his leg hair or something – it’s so random I’m
not even linking to it. There’s no best-case scenario here – he’s just creepy.
Then, for
no other reason than I guess he felt like a snack, he started gnawing on his
wife’s fingers in public and on camera. You know, like people do. You wonder
what the thought process there was…
“Hey,
sure are lots of cameras…gosh, I’m kind of hungry…oh look, an index finger.
Yum.”
I’m a
little surprised he didn’t pull out a packet of ketchup.
But the
best part was when some guy pointed out that, you know, Biden’s loser son Lil’
Crackpipe is the poster child for corruption and Sane Joe started spazzing out
and calling him “fat” and challenging him to a push-up contest for some reason.
This is
just odd. And this is the candidate who, amazingly, is still in the lead for
the Democrat nomination.
And then
there’s the groping females thing. He still does it occasionally, though the
media does its best to curtail coverage of his lecherous creeping. Do you
believe there’s any chance at all that he is not going to, at some point, have
some horrifying incident with some female at the White House, you know, like
grabbing the Queen for a hug n’ rub, or walking absent-mindedly into the press
room in a flapping robe with Little Joe and the gang in effect?
And let’s
be charitable. No one has ever called Joe Biden “smart.” Well, maybe as a joke.
The fact is that he’s a 40-watt guy in a 100-watt world. Haters say Trump is
dumb, but he is demonstrably not dumb. The thing about Trump is that because
our garbage elite hates him it tends to ascribe all possible negative characteristics
to him regardless of whether they apply. Trump is cunning, crafty and has a
keen sense of strategy. You may dislike him, but that does not change the fact
that alone, against the full force of the elite and its media serfs, he
prevailed and continues to prevail. If Trump, who managed to figure out that it
would be a good idea to campaign in Wisconsin, is dumb, what does that make
Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit and the sobbing losers who supported her?
No one
can seriously argue that Joe Biden is smart, and no one does. They’ll either
call you “racist” or start complaining about Trump. But you won’t get anyone
comparing the former veep to Stephen Hawking. They just sort of elide past his
staggering stupidity, perhaps hoping that whoever he picks for his veep will
give him a rubber ball to play with and lock him in an Oval Office closet when
it's time to do some presidenting.
He’s a
totally corrupt swamp thing, and here’s the worst part of his manifest
corruption – he doesn’t seem to realize that he’s corrupt, if not personally
than in terms of allowing his bum kid to leverage his position. He thinks it’s A-OK for his boy Hoover to cash in
all over the globe. After all, that’s what you do, right? That’s part of the
benefits package for being in the liberal elite. And all these people fussing
and fighting about the paternity test-failing dirtbag getting rich are totally
out of line. How dare they? HOW DARE THEY!
Understand
that Biden sees nothing wrong with this. Nothing. And that means there will be
exponentially more of it. Hell, the useless DoJ under Trump won’t prosecute
obvious graft. Do you think a DoJ that’s thrilled to have a fellow traveler
back in the White House is going to root out Biden's business badness? You do?
Well, then meet my unicorn Chet.
And
SloJoe is utterly incompetent. This is the guy who thought they should let bin
Laden skate. As Robert Gates, no Trumpie, said, "I think he has been
wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the
past four decades.”
This is
the guy who wants to take your doctor, again, and impose another brilliant
healthcare reform idea, again – all designed to unscrew the last big healthcare
reform the Democrats passed, which he praised as “a big [vulgarity] deal.”
He wants
to obey that tiresome Swedish teenager’s commands to sacrifice at the altar of
the weird weather cult. He wants to appoint all Hawaiian and Scat Franciscan
judges.
He
wants to raise taxes, open the borders, let you pay for illegal aliens’ sex
changes, and spark a civil war by taking guns from the people who don’t commit
crimes.
When you
think of a calm, steady, wise presence guiding the nation, you do not think of
Joe Biden, though that’s what is allegedly needed to end the nightmare of the
Trump presidency – you know, the record job numbers and the lack of stupid new
wars. You think of Obama and Stumbles McMyturn, only dumber and touchier.
Just
recently, Biden’s campaign ran an ad alleging that foreigners were “laughing”
at Donald Trump. Is there any Democrat anywhere who takes America’s side in a
dispute with malicious aliens? In any case, those tin pot euroweenies had
plenty to cry about – Donald Trump has forced them to pay up for NATO. Of
course, that will end too if Joe takes office. We’ll return to business as
usual – the business as usual of being shafted for the benefit of the global
bigshots.
Basically,
we’ll get rid of all the peace and prosperity that Trump has brought and get
back to normal – that is, people like us being plundered by the garbage elite.
Trump has
a track record of success, and Democrats hate him. Joe has a track record of failure,
corruption, and creepiness. Well, I guess we know why the Democrats seem to love him.
It’s out
now, my new novel Collapse, the action-packed yet hilarious
sequel to People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. Friendless loser Never Trumpers
hate it, so you’ll love it.
***One last thing. On
Wednesdays, there's BONUS KURT if you're a Townhall VIP member. Sign up today. Three
Kurts is better than two.
And here's the biggest laugh of all: the Democrat party's
only hope is a confused old man whose corruption is oozing into
the
open only because the Democrats wagered everything on
impeaching President Trump.
What to do About China
Much
the same way that the Nazis invasion of Poland in the 20th century,
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) assaulted the world with a biological agent.
Instead of Panzer divisions rolling down the streets of Warsaw, Communist
China’s invisible biological warfare has stricken the world with economic and
human misery, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and forcing
millions into unemployment lines globally.
Expansionist
China is clearly a military, economic, and health threat to the world. But it’s
reckoning time for the Chinese communist dictatorship. Washington should exert
diplomatic, economic, and military pressure on Beijing that will put China’s
dictator Xi Jingping, and the evil and corrupt CCP under enormous strain.
Here
are four suggestions to counter China’s biological, military and economic threats:
Economic Distancing: Seize China’s U.S. Treasury Notes
For
America, the China virus attack was a 21st century medical
Pearl Harbor, inflicting tens of thousands of casualties and placing our
healthcare system under enormous strain. To counterattack China’s criminal
negligence and mishandling of the coronavirus epidemic, the U.S. needs to hit
our communist comrades where it hurts the most -- their pocketbooks.
China
owns approximately $1.07 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds, according to the Treasury Department. The United States government should
seize the Chinese treasury obligations that Beijing holds in their name, and
inform the CCP that this is a down payment for the death of tens of thousands
of American citizens and the economic devastation Beijing has unleased on the
U.S. economy. And the U.S. should encourage Canada, the U.K., Japan,
Switzerland, and other allies to do the same.
Academic Distancing: Shutter China’s Confucius
Institutes in the U.S.
The
nefarious CCP pumps over $10 billion into its Confucius Institute propaganda
machine, funding over 500 Confucius Institutes on high schools, colleges, and
university campuses around the world. In the U.S., there are over 100 Confucius
Institutes on high school, college, and university campuses, receiving over
$150 million from the Chinese communist dictatorship, according to National Association of Scholars.
The
Chinese Ministry of Education, which is run by the CCP’s Central Propaganda Department, infiltrates high
schools, colleges, and universities, brainwashing American students into
accepting communist China propaganda, textbooks and operating funds to enhance
its own image abroad. Beijing-funded Confucius Institutes lack transparency,
threaten academic freedom and give the Chinese communist despots access to the
U.S. education system that China does not extend to American programs,
according to a 2019 report by the U.S. Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on
Investigations.
All
Confucius Institutes in the United States should be shut down, and all Chinese
“teachers” deported. America must end China’s unfettered access to our research
centers and universities. Also, the Confucius Institute U.S. Center, based in Washington, D.C., should be shuttered.
Seize and Sell all CCP Property in the U.S.
The
Chinese Communist Party is our enemy, so why don’t we treat them that way?
Let’s start by seizing all CCP property in the United States and selling it as
reparations for the damage they have caused to our economy. The U.S. federal
government should impound and sell all CCP property in the U.S., including
companies, real estate, bank accounts, aircraft, ocean-going vessels, and all
other CCP assets in the USA.
Bring Back “Made in the USA”
The
U.S. federal government should pay U.S. manufactures to leave China and return
to the USA. It’s time to bring U.S. manufacturing back home. Americans want to
buy high-quality “Made in the USA” products; not cheap Chinese junk that breaks
right away. To encourage U.S. manufactures to make products in the United
States, the U.S. federal government should offer companies a 100 percent
federal tax relief for 10-years if they open and produce products here in the
USA.
It
won’t be easy or painless, but America ought to fundamentally reconsider its
relationship with China. It is imperative that we have a “hard decoupling” of
the U.S.-China relationship, according to political scientist Andrew A. Michta,
writing in the American Interest. It’s time to reduce our
reliance on China as a manufacturing base.
Only
one adversary poses a truly mortal challenge to the United States; that
adversary is China.
Now
that the Chinese Communist Party has murdered tens of thousands of people
globally, the U.S. and its allies are being held hostage by the
criminals that run the CCP. China is repeatedly singled out for its unfair
trade practices, currency manipulation, support for rogue regimes like North
Korea and Iran, proliferation of nuclear arms, cyberattacks on free societies,
widespread human rights abuse at home, and undermining international
institutions. And now, you can add bioterrorism to the list.
It’s
time to cut our ties with Communist China. This is a very dangerous time for
the world. We should expect that the CCP will become more repressive
domestically, aggressive internationally, and confrontational in the wake of
the China virus.
And
one final thought: Let’s make the China plague the last Chinese import into the
U.S.A.

The Democratic
Party Is Wounded and Dangerous
Beware the wounded animal. In
pain and desperation, it will do violent things. It seems to me no
coincidence that Joe Biden's big win on Super Tuesday was followed by
Democratic senator Chuck Schumer threatening conservative members of the
Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Joe Biden is hardly Lancelot to President
Trump's dragon. The Democrats and the Deep State needed a
first-class warrior; instead, their best option is a walking advertisement for
Alzheimer's awareness. In
his best days, Joe Biden was the political equivalent of Jack McCall, shooting
his adversaries in the back. When he wasn't using his position of
power for financial gain or stealing other people's words, he was helping his
family line their own pockets. Today, he's a disoriented and
stumbling shell of an unimportant political hack who looks on in confusion
while his wife does his fighting for him. If you've ever wondered what
happens to the shriveled soul of a lifetime liar and Democratic swindler, just
cast your eyes upon Old Joe. He's a walking, talking effigy of
Democratic corruption and amorality. He's what the Democratic
Party usually keeps far off the main stage for the back-alley entertainment;
now he's the main event, but no amount of stick-prodding by Donna Brazile or
Tom Perez is going to turn Joe Biden into Fred Astaire. He's a
freak-show carnival attraction at best, amazing onlookers by his ability to occasionally
jumble audible words together into a sentence. The Democrats needed
a man who could command a movement; all they got was a man who can barely
control his own.
I'm not saying President Trump's
re-election is in the bag. Far from it. We've never seen
such an array of villains acting in concert to take down an American
president. The Democratic Party has most of the permanent
bureaucratic Deep State (as well as stealthy anti-Trump Republicans), Wall
Street, Russia, Iran, China, Venezuela, cosmopolitan Europe, global warming
doomsayers, the Middle East's worst terrorists, and domestic Antifa terrorists
here at home all actively working to dislodge President Trump from the White
House. In the past, the chiefs of our intelligence agencies and
clandestine services retired into relative obscurity, cognizant that duty
commanded their silent withdrawal into the pages of history. After
orchestrating a coup against the American president, however, it is not unusual
to see the former heads of Obama's CIA, FBI, and NSC all tirelessly justifying
their criminal acts on cable news each night. The corporate news
media and institutional government have spent years trying to gin up enough
hysteria in the nation that mock beheadings of the president and ritual re-enactments
of his assassination during summer theater might lead the American people to
clamor for the real thing.
So, no, the 2020 election will not be
over until all the votes have been counted on November 3, and it becomes clear
that we have successfully preserved Western civilization for at least a little
while longer from this most recent manifestation of Vienna's bloody 1683
siege. All I am saying is that Joe Biden was never meant to be the
establishment's champion for resurrecting their oligarchic power. They wanted a formidable presidential nominee,
someone who could check all the right identity politics boxes while stringing
words together that were substantively meaningless while singularly
inspiring. Instead, they're settling for a politician past his
expiration date who sounds less crème
de la crème and more soused in crème de menthe. The
Democratic Party may depend on dead voters to win elections, but running dead
candidates is another thing altogether.
So just because the cable news anchors
and Carville clones are all high-fiving each other and cheering for managing to
narrowly prevent a communist disciple of Stalin and Castro from sewing up the
Democratic nomination for president by the beginning of March, don't forget how
disappointed they are at heart. If Biden goes on to clinch the
nomination, the Democratic Party will have managed to take all the aloof,
plain, manila-folder blandness of John Kerry and combine it with the alertness
and energy of a nursing home after pill rounds. This is the one whom
the commentariat is celebrating right now, the guy Obama and the gang blocked
from running in 2016 because they felt him not quite up for the challenge when
he was four years younger. The vice president during the slowest economic recovery since the
Great Depression, the wordsmith who marveled at Obama for being strangely
"articulate" for a black guy, and the obtrusive shoulder-rubber whose
chief political instinct was to sniff the hair of the wives and daughters of
White House officials and visiting dignitaries. Imagine being in such dire straits
because the previous Democratic president so hollowed out the party's future by
losing over a thousand elected officials across the country during his time in
office that the last, great hope to beat President Trump this year is just
hoping to make it to bed each afternoon before saying something so
inappropriate or illogical or ridiculous that Red Bernie becomes the Democrat's
Dear Leader by default. For every minute of his few wakeful hours,
his handlers have to be on constant guard against the possibility that a voice
in Biden's head will scream, "Oh, look, a young child with
wonderful-smelling hair." "Comeback
Joe"? More like "Come back, Joe!"
The Democrats and the Deep State have
spent the last four years constructing the greatest wag-the-dog spectacle
America's ever seen in an attempt to cover up the malfeasance and criminality
of the last administration, while preventing the current one from achieving too
many victories. Considering that Brennan
and Comey are still free and Obama and Hillary are still smiling, they've been
remarkably successful. But
the Mueller obfuscation and Schiff circus are behind us, the dance music of
delay is dying down, and the Democrats' and Deep State's ability to keep
pushing back their day of reckoning is coming to an end. If they
don't win in 2020, they cannot keep justice at bay, regardless of how stacked
in their favor it has always been in the past. And standing in the
gap as their last-ditch prospect to save them from President Trump's
re-election and spare them from long delayed judgment is none other than Corn
Pop's archenemy. The one "reasonable" Democrat in the race
who has already burnished his "moderate" credentials by fully
embracing Bernie's Green New Deal, Warren's Medicare for All, and Beto's
door-to-door gun confiscation. Nothing says "electable centrist
Democrat" like "D'oh!" Biden's full tilt toward Marxist
socialism. No wonder Chuck Schumer sounds like some injured animal
in the forest, lashing out at tree branches all around him. That's
what small, weak, dying creatures do when they know the end is near.
Cruz:
China ‘the Single-Greatest Political Threat the United States Faces over the
Next Century’
2 May 2020111
1:30
Saturday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) outlined the threat communist
Asian superpower China poses to the United States, calling it the “single-great
political threat” to the country over the next 100 years.
“China is in my judgment the single-greatest political threat
the United States faces over the next century,” he said. “They engage in
espionage. They engage in censorship. They engage in torture and murder of
their own citizens. They cover up free speech.”
Cruz pointed to legislation that he
was introducing. One imposes sanctions on Chinese government officials for the
coronavirus “coverup,” as he deemed it. Another he was introducing took aim at Hollywood for
kowtowing to the Chinese government in movie scripts.
“The Script Act says we’re not going to allow the Pentagon to
cooperate with moviemakers, to let them use ships and jet airplanes and
equipment if they are going to allow the Chinese government to censor,” he
said. “And so it uses the power of government to stop Chinese censorship
through Hollywood.”
The Texas Republican U.S. Senator
pointed to the soon-to-be-released sequel to “Top Gun,” which stars Tom Cruise.
Reportedly, the Japanese and Taiwanese flags were removed from a jacket worn by Cruise’s “Maverick” in the sequel at
the behest of Chinese censors.

America’s
China problem is a two-part problem – one part is dealing with those
pangolin-kebabing commie bastards and the other is dealing with their fellow
travelers among our garbage globalist elite here at home. But the Chinese
coronavirus – aptly named the “Chinese coronavirus” because this pandemic is
the result of either Chinese incompetence and/or bizarre bat soup gulping, plus
a lot of standard ChiCom deception – has at least made clear that we better
deal with them before they deal with us. It’s a wake-up call we better heed by
getting woke.
Red China
must be dealt with as what it is – an enemy. If the country’s Maoist mullahs
had decided that they wanted China to spin-up into a first world power and
responsibly assume a place at the world’s head-table by trading fairly,
respecting human rights, not stealing our inventions, and not sending weird
bugs across the globe, cool. But Red China wants to dominate the world.
It can’t
and won’t do it militarily, at least outside its immediate geographic zone of
control. Inside that zone, it wants to be the big bully on the block and it is
only a matter of time before it decides to flex its muscles against Taiwan,
then Vietnam, then Japan, and sometime in the not too distant future, against
us. The fact is that China is building up combat power designed to take on the
U.S., to defeat our strengths (like by building hypersonic missile systems to
take out our carriers), to steal our tech (weird how all their jets look just
like ours), and to dominate in space and cyber. Still, this is a naval conflict
primarily, and we still have some advantages, including good ships (but not
enough) and a longer, stronger naval tradition. You can’t just build massive,
integrated blue water fleets and suddenly be able to employ them effectively.
We have been doing that for a century, but let’s not get cocky. Our naval
traditions today may not be the “rum, sodomy and the lash” that still built a
winning Royal Navy, but they are hardly those of ruthless competence either.
Our ships run into other ships too often, and there’s way too much “social
justice” and not enough “warrior” in the mix. The indiscipline of the captain
of the Roosevelt was appalling and if the bozos with stars
give him back his gig cuz the Twitter blue checks whined, that’s worse. Virtue signaling
one’s feelz isn’t going to win wars.
But even
if our naval traditions were up to snuff, we can’t rely on them to counter the
Chinese quantitative advantage and growing competence and confidence. Remember,
the Japanese Imperial Navy the Westerners pooh-poohed wiped out the Russian
fleet at Tsushima in 1905. Sadly, I would not be
surprised to see an initial battle with Xi the Pooh’s sailors end up in a
“shocking” victory for the ChiComs that should not shock anyone paying
attention.
But the
Chinese main effort is not military. It is economic, supported with information
operations and diplomatic initiatives. The massive, pervasive theft of our
intellectual property has saved China trillions. The unfair trade deals we
still accept have destroyed our manufacturing capability. And the ChiComs are
aided and abetted by the globalist Fifth Columnists here at home who have been
bought off by the opportunity to get rich selling us out to the Reds. Far too
many people at the heights of power in our country, including but not limited
to Grandpa Badfinger’s stoner son Hoover, are getting rich doing China’s
bidding. If you point out that we are educating a generation of Chinese
students and inviting in “scholars” and “workers” who are active agents of
Chinese intelligence and who are stealing us blind, our garbage elite will
provide cover against the necessary steps to stop this looting by labeling it
as “racist.” China is using our idiotic political correctness fixation as a
propaganda weapon, and diplomatically it is going to the rest of the world and
inviting them to sign up with the winning team.
What do
we do?
We need a
massive build-up of conventional military power at sea, in the air, in space, both
outer and cyber. And we need to return to having a serious military that
focuses on killing our enemies and not on pronoun policing and stress card
sissification. Without both, our first day of war with China – which our
fecklessness makes certain to come – will make Pearl Harbor look like a group
hug.
We need
to take this moment to understand that Red China is a hostile power seeking to
defeat us economically. We need to aggressively repatriate critical industries
home from China. We need our own drug industry back, our own rare-earth mining
capacity, our own steel sector. We need to waive the frivolous regulatory
nonsense that made China attractive to businesses in the first place. If the
EPA keeps us from mining rare earth elements, it’s the EPA that needs to go,
not our capacity to obtain these critical resources.
We need
to do what China does without hesitation: bar Chinese companies or
Chinese-controlled companies from participating in critical infrastructure like
5G.
We also
need to stop pretending China is a developing nation and demand it fund all
international organizations at America’s level. That it owns the WHO, yet pays
a fraction of what we do is ridiculous. In too many ways – including in the
idiotic climate hoax arena – China gets an edge by pretending it is not a First
World nation and getting breaks we do not.
We need
to clamp down on espionage, both strategic and economic. We need to openly tell
the truth: China targets the Chinese diaspora to use as spies. That’s not
racist. That’s a fact. But let’s not let the traitors who are not of Chinese
descent off the hook. There are too many people who will sell out their country
for a few renminbi. We need to get the FBI out of domestic politics and
massively focused on uprooting these foreign agents. All spies should be
subject to lengthy prison sentences. This nonsense about just a year or two in
jail needs to end. And we need to clear out academia of Chinese nationals, both
students and faculty. Why are we training our enemy? Plus, we must ruthlessly
expose just who China has bought in our universities, the corporations, and the
media.
China is
largely to blame for the Wuhan Flu pandemic, but the idea of suing it for
compensation is as useless as it is politically attractive. Here’s the way to
kill two bats with one stone: impose a penalty tariff on all Chinese goods to
create a huge pot of money to compensate the victims of ChiCom lies as well as
give our industries a chance to recover.
Most of
all, we need to get serious about this conflict, and it is a conflict. We tend
to see other people from our own perspective. We are reasonable, fair, and
just. But communists are none of those things. These red bastards exploit the
patriotism of the Chinese people – who have every right to seek prosperity and
freedom – to consolidate power and turn the spotlight off their own manifest
failures and tyrannies. We need to get woke, as the hep kids say, woke to the
fact that the Mao pals are bad people and we better understand that before one
morning we wake up with their boot on our neck forever.
