It’s Not Just About Taiwan
American Thinker ^ | 10 Jul, 2022 | Janet Levy

Posted on 07/10/2022 4:58:35 AM PDT by MtnClimber

“China’s goal is not just to dominate the world, but to reduce the rest of us to subservience.” With that terrifying projection, China expert Steven Mosher has been trying to rouse America from its complacency and caution the Biden administration over its appeasement of the Red Dragon. He reads clear and present danger in a leaked video showing Chinese military commanders discussing a 90-day countdown to a Taiwan invasion. Mosher says the video is authentic, and that the Biden administration’s mixed signals on Taiwan smack of a fecklessness that will only embolden China.

Other experts, too, warn of the government’s “strategic ambiguity” toward China as the “reunification” rhetoric with Taiwan has become more aggressive. There is a growing fear that Chinese President Xi Jinping, having suffered few consequences for his forays into the South China Sea and his crackdown in Hong Kong, will be emboldened to take on U.S. allies and attack American assets. On July 6th, it was announced that China would join Russia and Iran in war drills in our hemisphere, a clear threat to the security of the United States.

Mosher is no armchair theorizer. He’s fluent in Chinese and was the first American social scientist to visit China, as early as 1979. He is the author of Bully of Asia: Why China’s Dream is the New Threat to World Order, an overview of China’s ambitions in South Asia. He has served in the Navy, and is a member of the Committee on the Present Danger China (CPDC), an independent task-force based in Washington, D.C. Mosher’s assessment on Taiwan was presented recently on the Securing America podcast, anchored by Center for Security Policy (CSP) founder Frank Gaffney.

China pursues a Sun Tzu-inspired, multi-pronged, multi-front war. In 1999, two Chinese air force colonels updated Sun Tzu’s ideas

They are not keeping their goals secret. They are actively employing their “Belt and Road” strategy.

Biden reduces tariff on Chinese goods
Biden sends oil to China that goes into the Chinese Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Biden goes light on China’s intellectual property crimes

China will be well-positioned to take Taiwan thanks to Biden.

"...caution the Biden administration"?

He discredits himself being so naive.

China’s goal is not just to dominate the world, but to reduce the rest of us to subservience. = MERCHANTILISM

The classic non violent way to fight this is with really high import tariffs. The other way is with a war. Either way I'm good.

FJB isn’t appeasing China, he’s in business with them.

The 20th Century was the American Century.

I truly believe the 21st century will be the Asian century. The demographics show it- 4.72 Billion Asians, as opposed to Europe and the the Americas at 1.0 Billion.

Whether the Asians who dominate that Century are the Chinese, or the Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc. is yet to be seen

One encouraging note about this- there are over 100 million Christians in China, while the population of South Korea is at least 40% Christian. This can be an effective counter to many of the genocidal tendencies that Asian countries tend to have.

Those that matter are alive and well with a Naval presence in the South China Sea.

The Quad, USA, India, Australia and Japan are alert. In addition there are many others including the UK, Netherlands, Indonesia, Philippines, Viet Nam and Korea.

China wants the world to become subservient and can easily do that by getting control of the Wold’s Reserve Currency. With the help of the Biden Crime Family and the Dems, they can crash the American Dollar and make the Yuan the WRC. Appears the USA is well on its way to lose the WRC.

“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,”
“I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us,” Biden added.

We can’t defend our borders, but we can defend Taiwan’s? No thanks

Why China’s Dream is the New Threat to World Order

Correct. The plutocrats could give a rip about America or Freedom. It's all about the Davos cabal having enabled the Chicom's rise and admiring the Orwellian technotyranny Xi has put into place as a model for the NWO, but now realizing that their Feng Shui Frankenstein is threatening their own plans to rule ze verld from Brussels.

Taiwan may be a fried to America, but neither the filthy chicoms nor the pedo globalists are.

Trump, of course, knew this.

“China’s goal is not just to dominate the world, but to reduce the rest of us to subservience.”

Sounds a lot like the Democrat party, though limited for now, with the United States.

The Democrat party is China’s proxy in DC. Along with some Rinos.

Taiwan has the technology to build 2nm chips, they’re building the foundry now. These will be the smallest and most powerful ICs in the world.

Biden also still has business dealings with the Russians, and they use them to bypass sanctions. Hunter gets Russian hookers, blow and $$$.

Consider this chilling scenario: It’s 2 am in Washington and China has launched an attack on Taiwan including a salvo of missiles targeting US bases in Japan and Guam. US Navy ships in the Western Pacific have been fired upon by Chinese submarines with some vessels sunk. How will “President” Biden react? Will he immediately order US forces to retaliate and deliver a forceful address to the American people like FDR did after Pearl Harbor? More likely a befuddled Biden will be roused from sleep pumped full of medications and stumble through reading a hastily written speech off a teleprompter while a gaggle of his aides and advisers spend hours trying to figure out what to do

Then the next afternoon Putin invades Estonia and bridges the gap to Kaliningrad. Meanwhile Kim Jung Un plows through the DMZ (China and Russia rain missiles on Japan and South Korea to slow down the response, on top of Nork fire) and Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz.
