China is conducting a “soft war” of propaganda and espionage against the U.S.
Since the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last August and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it has felt like the world is on fire. But in the midst of these attention-grabbing crises, there is an even more pernicious threat facing the United States and the signs are all around us. Behind most major foreign policy issues lies China.
Take the Iran nuclear deal. Media reports indicate that Iran’s fleet of tankers has ferried at least $22 billion worth of illicit oil to the People’s Republic of China since 2021. This has provided the Iranian regime with a major source of revenue and raised questions about the Biden administration’s lax enforcement of sanctions.
It is as good an example of China’s duplicity as can be found today. But it is not an isolated incident.
Leading up to the invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. approached China numerous times to detail U.S. intelligence suggesting a likely invasion. The U.S. asked China to persuade Russia not to invade. Instead, China simply passed along the intel to Moscow.
What about the deadly and economically devastating global pandemic? China’s role in the origin of COVID-19 continues to be an unanswered question deserving of serious inquiry. In fact, according to an internal memo from the State Department from April 2020, it appears more likely than not that the virus was released from a lab in or around Wuhan, China, such as the Wuhan Institute of Virology or the Wuhan Center for Disease Prevention and Control.

And why are our leftist democRATs so cozy with China?
American globalists are the problem. Free trade scum are the problem.
Unfortunately, there are some on the other side of the aisle that line their pockets with yen as well.
They own the Bidens. That's epic. And if they can own some demented, pedo pimp like joe, how much easier to buy the whores in kongress. Both sides of the isle.
The tankers and container ships that make us dependent on faraway and untrustworthy partners are sitting ducks in the ocean. One of these days they will become targets, easy ones. Then what?
Money and lots of it. I’m dubious about Ukraine too that I suspect is another cash nexus for corruptocrats.
NAFTA
the gift that keeps on giving
Then there is Fentanyl whose ingredients come from the CCP to its PAP drug cartels in Mexico who then sells the product to the Mexican cartels who then flood the US with it killing many people. All under JoeB’s watchful eyes.
Illicit oil?
Getting a little sick of the US blaming everyone else for our problems. Sanctions don’t work. Our global hegemony is toast.
And why are we sending oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserves to Europe?
The EU directs its member countries to each have enough in their own strategic petroleum Reserves for at least 90 days of domestic consumption.
One thing for darn sure, the narcotics and invasion from the south is being financed by someone.. Probably the commies..
An all out invasion by the commies and we just fiddle about while Rome burns....
Why do we expect other countries to stop the growing and manufacture of drugs when we don’t effectively stop the importation, sale and use in our own country?
In fact, most of the above complaints about China boil down to “they won’t do what we tell them to do”, as though they were not a sovereign country.
