Figures the author is a professor. Completely divorced from reality and lives in her own head creating speculative paranoid fantasies
She was featured on Bloomberg TV giving her opinion on the Phase 1 trade deal. She grudgingly admitted, in the face of leading questions pushing her to be critical of Trump, that the deal basically gave Trump everything he wanted. The really constipated nature of her replies led me to look her up on Google. That's how I dug up this editorial. I don't call many people fifth columnists, but this gal is a fifth columnist.
Wow, these people are as crazy and paranoid as Democrats.

“Then the CIA convinced the Uyghurs to remove their own organs and dishonestly blame the fair and noble Chinese government in a shameless propaganda ploy!”
Curbing Iran's revolutionary impulses is not a threat to the Chinese apart from that. I suggest it were well the Chinese take the presence of two rogue nuclear states on their borders a little more seriously than they appear to be doing. "They wouldn't dare attack" is one of the silliest tropes in all of history, nearly always paid for in blood.
The US has been actively trying to provoke China into a military confrontation since 2013 under the Obama administration by suddenly turning the South China and East China seas into hotspots after decades of peace in the region.
That is simply silly. What changed during that period is the growth of Chinese expansionism especially with regard (but not restricted) to the Spratly Islands, and the inception of a Chinese navy with force projection capabilities. And yes, oil and not the veneer of "fishing rights" is at the root of it. The United States has had open sea lines of communication as a cornerstone of its foreign policy since the Jefferson administration - nothing new there. Should the author wish for a less myopic view of this situation she would do well to consult the Filipinos and the Vietnamese, both of whose governments have apparently rediscovered the attraction of U.S. Naval presence as a result. Her aggressor is in her mirror.
Interesting read. People and countries tend to think “it’s all about them.” Sometimes it is. But more often, they are projecting motives to other people assuming that other countries actions are directed at causing them the harm that resulted from the acts when the harm was an unintended consequence.
I’m certain we intend to keep China within its boundaries. But I don’t think recent events in Iran have much to do with that, unless the author’s real subtext is that we have prevented China from expanding by way of Iran.
“NYU professor provides the bizarro view from China.”
Adjunct professor, not a real professor.
That means she pays NYU to be a professor there, not the other way around.
Total United Front.
[Adjunct professor, not a real professor.]
No.
She brings in money to NYU. They let her be faculty.
Someone else pays her. ChiCom United Front entities I assume.
Look at the whole name of her web site. Professorannlee.
Playing up the professor part, as if that confers authority.
She really is a ChiCom grifter. Look at her articles, such as, The US Should Want Xi Jinping to be President for Life.
Sad thing is, most of the “experts” are swamp creatures as bad as she is.

“Adjunct Professor, Clinical Professor, Professor of Practice, Research Professor. The first three apply to people who have outside activities such as medical practice, professional engineer, lawyer and do not work full-time in a research capacity.”
While it’s possible (and maybe even likely) that she is being paid by the Chinese government for services rendered, I’d being surprised if that government were paying NYU to have her teach some courses. It’s not a good look and could endanger NYU’s federal funding.
Nothing would be direct.
[Nothing would be direct.]
In the case of China, Uygur groups from the Muslim minority in China’s northwest, were armed with military weapons by outside forces. Uygur separatists proceeded to terrorise parts of Western China with bombings, stabbings and other violent means...
Thanks Zhang Fei. That's an interesting, xenophobic, paranoid take on the hegemonic pyramid model that she's pushin' there.
