Since the Cold War, it has been a foreign policy goal of Mao Zedong and his successors to get America to lower its defenses and do the dirty work of empowering the People’s Republic.

While we bemoan the events of the past year, the 90-million strong Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can rightfully celebrate a good half-century. Since the Cold War, it has been a foreign policy goal of Mao Zedong and his successors to get America to lower its defenses and do the dirty work of empowering the People’s Republic. All we got in exchange were diplomatic smiles, successive presidential courtships, and the promise of liberalism from a country that refuses to savor a drop of it.

At age 67, China’s president and general secretary Xi Jinping is a dyed-in-the-wool communist despot who hides his connivances behind an immotile and disarming smile. Today, from aircraft carriers and ICBMs to shirts and face masks, China has stripped our government, private sector, and research institutions of its most precious intellectual property.

And the New York Stock Exchange suddenly did an about face and stopped the delisting of three Chinese Telecoms (being delisted due to a Trump executive order). Stock analysts were shocked by the sudden change. I don’t know why they are shocked. Look no farther than Corn Pop Joe.

China wants food and raw materials like coal and ores.

”to get America to lower its defenses and do the dirty work”

The Chinese use leverage. They control nations by controlling individual politicians and bureaucrats. That is how they took over the vast resources of much of Africa for cheap. It is happening now is the US.
