Scholar Gordan Chang warns that the United States must ultimately “disengage from China” on all fronts if it is to maintain its status as a global superpower or risk China’s massive potential to change the geopolitical structure of the world.
Chang, who just returned from Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea, spoke on The Sara Carter Show where he described the current state of Beijing and the authoritarian government’s influence across the globe.
“This is the Third Reich in the 21st century,” said Chang.
China’s policy “is incompatibility with our system. We are unfortunately going to have to reverse course and disengage from China to protect ourselves – to reduce our vulnerability to an extremely dangerous actor.”
This reporter was recently in Japan and South Korea with Chang and other experts who attended the international CPAC conventions. It is an international effort to connect with foreign allies who are battling increased pressure by socialist and leftist leaders bent on targeting open markets, democracy and independence.
“What we have to do ultimately is to disengage from China to get our companies out of China, to get China out of the United States because we cannot live with this militant Communist superstate that takes the position that China is the world’s only sovereign state,” said Chang. He noted that the Chinese government sees the U.S. as basically subjects of Beijing’s expansion and that the communist government believes “Americans must acknowledge Chinese sovereignty and obey them.”
He noted that the Trump administration must “continue to impose high tariffs.” Chang does not believe that the current proposed trade deal with China will change Beijing’s efforts to take economic control or curtail the Chinese military and intelligence apparatus from stealing intellectual property.

“He noted that the Trump administration must “continue to impose high tariffs.” Chang does not believe that the current proposed trade deal with China will change Beijing’s efforts to take economic control or curtail the Chinese military and intelligence apparatus from stealing intellectual property.
“China has been stealing hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. intellectual property each year,” he said. “And I don’t think we’re going to stop that with a Phase 1 trade deal.”
“So get our companies out of China,” he added. “That will reduce their opportunity for stealing from us right now. You know Sara, Beijing is dropping hints that we have to accept the genocidal campaign it’s conducting inside its own borders.”
“This is absolutely unacceptable what China is doing there is trying to eliminate racial and ethnic group a religious group,” said Chang. He noted that the Chinese aren’t going to back down and basically demand that the U.S. not change its policy or get involved with their own human right’s violations in their nation or in the region.”
Xi is Hitler. We shouldn’t be trading with Hitler.
China has slave labor, concentration camps, murders people for organs, and threatens their neighbors. This is Nazi Germany
Trump should know that China is stringing the trade deal, Xi has no intention on making a deal. Instead Xi and his Chicom proxy party the demonkkkrats are stalling and running out Trump’s first term.
The basic reason for the sham Schiff impeachment is to run out the clock on Trump’s first term. Nothing is being done because the Chicoms and demonkkkrats want Trump out and the impeachment is being used to hide the legislative obstruction. The demonkkkrats won’t even pass USMCA.
We need to disengage from nazi China
You may be right. They are clearly not self-regulating on the basis of ethics or morality. They try to get away with whatever they can get away with, and cannot be trusted.
That said, the Corleone adage of ‘keep your friends close, and your enemies closer’ is a consideration.
I think that we may be overlooking the very solution to this problem. China’s ability to project power, particularly economic power, beyond it’s borders is so inherently dependent on a strong US market that we have them by the proverbial testicles. It’s quite clear that Donald Trump sees how to make this work for us and to contain the menace. When we can excise our, deeply compromised, domestic enemies from government China will feel the grip. It is not our job in the world to cure their internal problems. The Chinese have a long history of internal upheaval.
Speaking of the reich, I stumbled on a video history of the British “Spitfire” last night produced last year. I had to watch it. Just seeing the work that went into it and the interviews with some of the folks that flew them. No to mention recalling the REAL threat from REAL naughtZees. Sadly, history is being slowly but surely tossed in the scrap heap.

> Xi is Hitler. We shouldn’t be trading with Hitler. <
Absolutely correct. And we are funding his military for him. Even Hitler didn’t have that advantage.
But replacing Chinese-made goods with goods made elsewhere would presumably cause inflation. And a disruption in the cheap junk supply line. We can’t have that! So let’s all go back to sleep now.
Good advice, but about 15 years too late I’m afraid. But better late than never.
Has this esteemed scholar actually laid out a vision of what “ disengaging” from billions of people with a different value system than the West, with nukes, and with the world’s largest military would look like in a real world?
Isolationism? Gonna need a bigger wall. A multidimensional one.
Meanwhile as we “ disengage”, Russia.....
Trust Trump, as long as we have him.
Realpolitik - based on economic strength that includes military capability
My wife, who is Chinese, says Xi is trying to be Mao. He is doing many of the same things Mao did in the past. It worries her a great deal for the rest of the family still living there.
None of us are going to get out of this mess alive, so we may as well do what we know is right.
China is a 5000 year old culture with 1.2 billion people
No comparison with third Reich
Hitler Allied with Islamists as well.
We need to play long game with China They’re going to have major problems very soon
+1.
Skirting environmental, labor laws here in America by shifting manufacturing operations into China. Using child labor, working people 16 hours a day for low pay, paltry benefits.
Workers living in dorms located at the plant. In some cases, pull out beds in drawers on the assy. lines for workers to literally sleep on the line.
Stories of OEM’s producing phones and other gadgets running behind on their quotas, then shutting the local school to use the children as laborers.
Air quality in some Chinese cities with heavy manufacturing so bad you could cut the air with an knife.
What we witnessed over the last few decades is the greatest transfer of wealth in world history from the American middle class to the communist Chinese.
The Chinese are running massive intellectual/corporate espionage operations. Stealing, counterfeiting, cheating is a normal days work for the Chi-coms.
Shameful.
