There is little doubt that China, while being ruled by the amoral, vile communists, who as you point out have many fellow travelers in the United States, will continue to be a dangerous and persistent malevolent adversary. They will continue to seek military advantages in the biological, nuclear, space (both outer and cyber) and the conventional spheres. America and its true allies must be strong and ever vigilent. As you say, that sadly has not been always been the case. Also you only get to lose one war these days and that will be it.

Yet China for all its efforts has limitations to its goals and asprations. Some of them Trump has adroitly exploited to help keep them in check. Firstly they wish to restablish the Middle Kingdom. That is the concept that China and China alone is the preminent power in all of Asia and determines policies that serve its interests. During the peak of the Middle Kingdom most of the rest of Asia did the kowtow to the Chinese emporer and essentially became near vassals. Today things are a bit different. The average non Chinese Asian is better educated and is not mired in severe poverty. They also identify with their endemic cultures be they Vietnamese, Korean, Japan, Malaysian, Burmese, Indonesian etc. These peoples are not willing to kowtow. The Indians and Australians are so culturally distinct, China cannot easily overcome their national interests. Despite China’s military strength the Chinese really cannot conquer Asia by force as Japan once did. No doubt they will continue to try to dominate by economic, political means and subterfuge. The fact is that China faces a formidable resistance to its dreams and fantasies.

Also China is not without economic vulnerabilities. China still has a large percentage of its population mired in poverty and near poverty. That is a constant social and political instability that really threatens the regime. China is desperately dependent on export markets to create wealth and import the materials it needs for a modern industrial culture. Its hybrid capitalist/communist systems has major flaws. The most glaring is the fact that the Communist Party essentially controls investment banking and has the final say in the allocation of capital. They have made some glaring, catostrophic mistakes such as the construction of huge, unpopulated, deteriorating ghost cities and a huge investment in outmoded military equipment. Their debts are staggering.

IMHO this release of this virus, engineered and developed at a biological weapons lab, was not an intentional act.The story that poorly paid lab workers sold infected lab animals in open meat markets is plausible. An overt act simply does not serve China’s interests at this time. Yet it is very instructive, as you point out, to observe China’s propaganda response and how it is aided by their fellow travelers in America and the West.

BTW if their is one country that would be a target of a conventional Chinese invasion, it is Russia. If circumstances were to allign, China would invade Asiatic Russia and try to seize the best of its Pacific possessions and Siberia.

The virus was engineered to attach to ACE receptors which are found in the kidneys, lungs, GI tract and other places in the body including the brain. I believe what she’s said. All of it. I also don’t believe it was just the CCP. Others were in on it. Why did Fauci send NIH financing under Obama? Why did Soros and sons also finance this Wuhan lab?
Why did the virus first break out in US economic hubs? Why Italy that houses the Vatican? Why in states with military bases?
Add it all up and you will come to an interesting conclusion.
