JOE BIDEN FOR BRIBES - HIS MAKE CHINA GREATER IS TAKING HOLD - WHERE'S HUNTER'S CHECK? - China Training and Equipping Foreign Militaries to Undermine US: Report
Republicans Skeptical of Joe Biden’s Reset Summit with Chinese Leader Xi Jinping: ‘Cannot Trust Chinese Communists’
Republicans raised concerns about President Joe Biden’s reset meeting with Chinese Leader Xi Jinping on Wednesday to restore communications and cooperation amid heightened tensions between the two nations.
The fears are predicated on Biden’s age and family business ties, concessions Biden could give Xi, and if China will renege on potential concessions while the U.S. maintains compromises.
Biden and Xi will meet at an undisclosed location outside San Francisco to speak about finalizing agreements to curtail fentanyl trafficking and restore communications between militaries, along with boosting Boeing aircraft purchases since the latest sales in 2017.
Biden said on Tuesday his goal is to try and strengthen his relationship with Xi, an individual Biden says he met alone with 68 times as vice president. “We’re not trying to decouple from China. What we’re trying to do is change the relationship for the better,” he claimed.
Republican critics of Biden soured on the president’s framing of the summit. “We don’t have a relationship with China,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told Fox News Tuesday morning. “It’s not like these are two teenagers dating. China is our number one adversary in the world.”
“I worry a little bit about what concessions he might grant or just the way he framed this summit meeting is that we want to improve our relationship,” he added, noting China’s history of not keeping promises:
What we should be doing is focusing on ways that we can get the better of China to stop them from cheating on their trade deals or hacking into U.S. government computers or floating spy balloons over America. None of which, I’m sure, Joe Biden is going to raise with Xi Jinping today.
…
Xi Jinping promised Barack Obama he would stop hacking into U.S. computers. They keep doing that. Xi Jinping promised they wouldn’t build islands in the South China Sea and arm them with missile systems. And they are doing that as well. You cannot trust Chinese communists to keep their word.
Republican presidential hopeful and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley raised similar concerns about China’s history of not keeping its commitments.
“The reason why I pulled us out of the Paris Climate Agreement is not because we don’t care about the agreement — everybody cares about the environment. It is because we put so many regulations on our companies — our own administration did,” she told Fox News.
“You know what China’s Paris Climate Agreement was?” Haley asked. “‘We’ll deal with it in ten years.’ I dealt with China before. Ten years never comes.”
Liz Peek, a Fox News contributor and former partner of major bracket Wall Street firm Wertheim & Company, took a different approach by highlighting Biden’s “mental impairment” and questioning if the president is compromised.
“Biden’s mental impairment is one reason to dread his upcoming meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in San Francisco,” she wrote Monday. “Another is mounting evidence that the president is compromised”:
If indeed the president and his family took in millions of dollars from government-affiliated entities in China, as it appears they did, we can be certain the details of those transactions are known to Xi and can be used to ‘persuade’ Biden to adopt the party line — the Communist Party line, that is.

The regime is also engaged in selling arms to internationally sanctioned nations, including state-sponsor of terrorism Iran, according to the 2023 annual report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC), released on Nov. 14. China’s efforts are part of a broader strategy to replace the United States and “lead the global security order,” according to the report. “China’s leadership coordinates a range of military activities with foreign security forces, including bilateral and multilateral meetings, functional exchanges, port calls, exercises, and arms sales,” the report says. Additionally, the regime is increasingly using its military wing to “promote a positive image of China” abroad at the expense of the United States, while also pursuing military, foreign policy, and economic benefits for itself. “China orients many of its interactions with foreign militaries around undermining U.S. leadership of international security affairs,” the report reads.

Wittman 10/2/2023 “It also uses military exchanges to pursue combat-relevant skills, practice power projection capabilities, and collect intelligence.” China Providing Arms to Sanctioned Regimes The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a singleparty state, is increasingly supporting authoritarian regimes with arms sales as part of this effort. The regime is a key player in the proliferation of arms to authoritarian nations engaged in human rights abuses, including Iran, which is currently backing terror groups responsible for the mass murder of Israelis on Oct. 7. “China is known to provide arms to authoritarian regimes and perpetrators of human rights abuses,” the report says.

Though the regime has long been a competitor in international arms deals, the report notes that it has “improved the quality of its exports and expanded the range of equipment it provides” over the last two decades. It now sells a full suite of military equipment—including aircraft, ships, and missiles—and is focused on propping up authoritarian powers that would benefit from a less-powerful United States. To that end, the report says that the CCP is also using military delegations to secure political advantage at international forums, including the Shangri-La Dialogue and other security meetings organized by ASEAN, the SCO, and BRICS. 11/15/23, 10:21 AM China Training and Equipping Foreign Militaries to Undermine US: Report | The Epoch Times https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/china-training-and-equipping-foreign-militaries-to-undermine-us-report-5529319?utm_source=China&src_src=C… 5/7 The report notes Chinese state-owned media coverage, which described the CCP delegation sent to the 2022 Shangri-La dialogue as “combatants” whose duty was to “refute” complaints against the regime and “struggle” against opposition to Beijing’s activities. CCP Building Partnerships With Authoritarian Powers Regarding the CCP’s efforts to train with foreign militaries, the report notes that the regime’s military is not as capable of performing in tandem with foreign powers as that of the United States. The regime is competing with U.S. programs, however, by “counter[ing] with lower prices and the ability to train large numbers of foreign students.” To that end, Beijing is pursuing military exercises with nations from Africa, south and central Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. CCP military documents reveal that the regime has differing strategies for pursuing such activities based on whether the other nation was a major power, a neighboring country, or a developing country.

And it is increasing its capability to operate jointly with partners, which it previously did not do. “[China] uses bilateral and multilateral exercises to carry out increasingly realistic, combat-oriented training such as live fire drills, combat simulations, air defense, and strike operations,” the report says. To that end, Russia remains the CCP’s most important military partner and provider of advanced military technologies. The two powers signed a “no-limits” partnership just weeks before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. That partnership was later enhanced as a comprehensive strategic partnership, which has allowed China to become Russia's most important partner in trade and diplomacy, helping Moscow to carry on amid otherwise devastating international sanctions. The increased cooperation has also resulted in more joint ChinaRussia military exercises, including a naval expedition that sailed within miles of the U.S. coastline. Still, the report says that the United States maintains a crucial advantage over the CCP due to the regime’s own belligerence against its would-be partners. Though the CCP seeks to use international military exercises to shore up its own reputation, the report says, the regime does “little to develop foreign partner military capacity” and frequently “undermines its own efforts” by using military force against its regional partners to press its illegal claims in the South China Sea. To that end, the USCC report recommends that Congress receive classified briefings on the CCP’s efforts to train and equip foreign militaries, as well as any measures the Pentagon is taking to mitigate associated risks. 11/15/23, 10:21 AM China Training and Equipping Foreign Militaries to Undermine US: Report | The Epoch Times https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/china-training-and-equipping-foreign-militaries-to-undermine-us-report-5529319?utm_source=China&src_src=C… 7/7 Andrew Thornebrooke Author (National Security Correspondent) Andrew Thornebrooke is a national security correspondent for The Epoch Times covering China-related issues with a focus on defense, military affairs, and national security.

Xi does San Fran, and the city is unrecognizable in more ways than one
San Francisco made sure to clean all the feces, needles, graffiti, and drug addicts from the sidewalks for “all those fancy leaders” before they rolled into town for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, a reality which Gavin Newsome went on television to confirm—in fact, AT’s own Monica Showalter wrote a great essay on the subject—and overnight, the city became literally unrecognizable.
But, it wasn’t only the relatively clean streets in a Democrat-run city that caused us to do a double-take… see below:
This is not Beijing and it’s not Tiananmen Square—it’s an American city (or was), and there isn’t an American flag in sight. Chinatown isn’t just a cultural hub in San Francisco anymore, but apparently San Francisco itself! And I don’t know if that music played aloud in the street, or if it was added to the video afterwards, but that is the Chinese national anthem, which includes a reference to building another “Great Wall.” Ironically, this isn’t quite compatible with the open borders of the Democrats, but particularly California Democrats.
Back in August, I penned a blog on a particular press release from Newsom’s office, which detailed how the governor had “wed his state to a foreign communist province” and signed a “Memorandum of Understanding” with Vice Governor Chen Huaiyu of Hainan. It proved that “anti-American actors have friends in the highest of places” as Newsom had entered into an agreement with Chen regarding “carbon neutrality plans”—ominous much? As a friendly reminder, not that you need one, this is the nation that harvests organs from conscious humans, executes political and religious dissidents, and welds problematic people into high-rise buildings where they starve to death. I think the picture is pretty clear of how they intend to “neutralize” carbon.
You know what else is noticeably absent? All those “Pride” flags. That’s weird… What about all that endless “proud ally” talk from city and state officials? I thought California, and especially San Francisco, boldly publicized their willingness to fight LGBTQ “hate” and “discrimination” even when it wasn’t the popular thing to do… But some anti-LGBTQ communist rolls into town and they unfurl the red carpet and rip down the incriminating paraphernalia? And, not that I have a problem with the removal of “Pride” flags at all (instead I applaud it), but it sounds about right for the virtue-signaling left.
The evolution from California to Commiefornia is complete.
San Francisco Erects Barricades to Keep out the Homeless for Xi Jinping
Barricades and fencing have been erected in San Francisco as the city scrambles to clean up its homeless population ahead of President Joe Biden’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Photos and videos showing metal barricade structures outside of the Moscone Center, where leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group are set to gather Wednesday, have garnered criticism on social media.
“San Francisco built a wall and made all the homeless people disappear for Xi,” End Wokeness, an account with more than 1.8 million followers, posted on X. “If only they cared about pleasing their own constituents as much as they care about pleasing a world dictator.”
Biden and Xi are to meet on the “sidelines” of the San Francisco summit on Wednesday, reports Fox News.
More images from the city’s streets show before-and-after photos in which homeless encampments were seemingly cleaned up right before the Chinese leader’s arrival.
“Xi has done more to clean up our filthy cities than any elected U.S. official,” former White House speechwriter Darren J. Beattie wrote on X.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) responded to the backlash at a press conference, saying “it’s true” that San Francisco has been cleaned up for all “those fancy leaders who are coming into town.”
“Because it’s true,” the progressive governor said. “But it’s also true, for months and months and months prior to APEC, we’ve been having different conversations.”
In October, Newsom became the first U.S. governor to visit China in more than four years, meeting with Xi and promising to be his “long-term, stable, and strong partner.”

The Leaders will discuss issues in the U.S.-PRC [People’s Republic of China] bilateral relationship, the continued importance of maintaining open lines of communication, and a range of regional and global issues. Building on their last meeting in November 2022 in Bali, Indonesia, the Leaders will also discuss how the United States and the PRC can continue to responsibly manage competition and work together where our interests align, particularly on transnational challenges that affect the international community.
Democrat San Francisco Mayor London Breed claimed on X that APEC is “projected to bring over $50 million in economic impact to the City — this is support for our small businesses & restaurants, people staying in our hotels, and tax revenues that pay for things like our parks, libraries, services, and police officers throughout our city.”
Meanwhile, her city has been plagued with homelessness. A city government report revealed that San Francisco has 7,754 homeless people, with 887 individuals experiencing homelessness per 100,000 residents. This is far above the peer average of 578 per 100,000.
As Breitbart News covered in October, San Francisco made headlines for allowing a homeless sex offender to camp outside of a Catholic grade school, advertising “Free Fentanyl 4 New Users.”
