Though the dangers to the world of China becoming a global powerhouse are evident, a few frilly words from China seem to be all that is needed for Western elites to disbelieve their eyes.
A December 2020 report by the U.S. Department of the Navy divulged the following on China's methods for projecting its "true maritime power":
China's aggressive actions are undermining the international rules-based order, while its growing military capacity and capabilities are eroding U.S. military advantages at an alarming rate.
China has implemented a strategy and revisionist approach that aims at the heart of the United States' maritime power. It seeks to corrode international maritime governance, deny access to traditional logistical hubs, inhibit freedom of the seas, control use of key choke-points, deter our engagement in regional disputes, and displace the United States as the preferred partner in countries around the world.
China's aggressive fishing policies coincide with its aggression in other areas as well:
• Reuters reports China's aggressive building of dams, dikes, and levees controlling the water flowing from Tibet has choked the Mekong River, which provides water to tens of millions of people, basically weaponizing water.

China is using its Belt and Road Initiative to invest in infrastructure in dozens of countries. It then uses that debt to pressure those countries into cooperating or face a debt trap in which they owe China more money than they can pay back, expanding China's global influence. The University of Pennsylvania posted a podcast in which Marshall W. Meyer, Wharton emeritus professor of management and a China expert, said of the Belt and Road Initiative,

The Belt and Road Initiative, sometimes called “One Belt, One Road” is important to understand in order to see China’s game plan to gradually take over the world.
Once upon a time, nations got away with whatever they could get away with it. There were no rules. There was only power. We seem to be going back to that, here and abroad.
Freedom is dying all over the world.
Thanks free traitors. I hope that $.10 you saved on communist made paint brushes makes up for what you did to this country.
Unfortunately this describes half of the Freepers I encounter regularly.
The “Free Trade” always goes in one direction. They sell us everything and buy nothing from us.
I'm pretty sure they bought all of out politicians and CEOs. At a bargain, too. America is now a colonial government of china and they didn't have to fire a shot.
When you buy a foreign made import you are are actually hiring foreign nationals to build, assemble, ship that product. You are picking foreign workers over Americans. That is the reality of what is happening with trade. Those foreign workers are not paying income taxes to uncle Sam and those imports come in duty free! OTH our workers are burdened with regs and taxes. THIS IS EVIL!!!!!
Free Traitors™ aren't just wrong they are doing something I consider evil.
Might makes Right. Will our tranny military out-woke China?
I know about the kids with degrees in "homosexuality in homo-sapiens studies", but many also got training in tech jobs, only to watch as the capitalists shipped those jobs out of the country with no way for them to pay their loans back.
Now we can't figure why they're rioting instead of holding down jobs.
Can you name one other generation that sold out its own children's future as we did?
I have been in IT for 30+ years. The H-1B visa is the most evil vile thing ever....
Or as I like to say, the DC - Wall Street Axis sold out Mainstreet to Communist China.
Still ongoing. Both parties. Trump / America First candidates needed.
Correct. All they had to do was get Xiden into the White House and Congress under Democrat control. Their task is now complete. We can no longer win this fight at the ballot box (see my tagline for the last 21 years.)
The only question is: how much longer will good PATRIOTIC (there's that trigger word for the FBI ...) men in this country allow this to stand?
Even after four major lower back surgeries, two fusions, a hip replacement, titanium wrist, surgically repaired knees and elbows I've got one good fight left in me at my age (59.) I don't know how much longer that will last though.
Who's going to lead us to take back our country?? I'm ready.
I've been in IT for 35+ years now and I agree: the H-1B visa is definitely evil and as an American it repulses me that it's used as a method of legalized INVASION into this country with the intent of tipping the balance of political power decidedly to one party. Much the same way as the ILLEGAL INVASION of this country through our southern border repulses me as well for the same damn' reason: one party wanting unchecked political power for as long as they can have it.
This country is so eff'd if we don't rise up and exercise our God given rights to freedom and physically throw each and every one of these politician a-holes out of office.
Since we've clearly lost the ability to do that via open, honest and fair elections, see my tagline of the last 21 years.
What a crock. China’s economy is going to crash before ours does. They aren’t going to dominate jack.
In 2000, it was the programmers who lost their jobs to overseas. Then H1B was fully enacted and here we are with all those who voted democrat and got hosed.
