China’s Friends in America Rally to Its Saber-Rattling

Nothing energizes the radical Left like the chance to back a foreign enemy in its attacks on America.

Beijing’s government owned and operated media launched an array of military threats in the days leading up to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan that if carried out would have triggered a regional war, perhaps even World War III. Militant emotions were drummed up on Chinese social media with any dissent censored. This saber-rattling rallied so-called “peace” groups in the U.S. to China’s cause. Nothing energizes the radical Left like the chance to back a foreign enemy in its attacks on America. They may have lost the First Cold War, but they intend to do better this time.

SNIP

ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) was founded just three days after the 9/11 attack to protest military retaliation against al-Qaida. It has since embraced every other enemy of the U.S. It has been calling for the abolition of NATO, echoing Putin’s line that NATO is the threat to peace and he was only acting defensively when he invaded Ukraine. Beijing’s imperialist grab for Taiwan backed by threats of war is, however, embraced by ANSWER. It also supports Iran’s violent ambitions and alignments with Moscow and Beijing.

CODE PINK “Women for Peace” is the most hate-filled “antiwar” group imaginable. Apart from its “China is not our Enemy” campaign, it calls for ending sanctions on Communist Cuba and Venezuela but placing sanctions on Saudi Arabia because CODE PINK favors Iran, whose sanctions should be lifted. It of course opposes Israel, while supporting the Syrian regime backed by Iran. It claims to have started the “No to NATO” campaign and only wants peace in Ukraine on Putin’s terms.

Well during the Iraq War and War on Terror we knew that ANSWER, Code Pink, and World Can’t Wait were Communist front organizations receiving funding from Chinese and Russian (Soviet) intelligence.
