Hi, Bob. Happy New Year!
You were musing on China, and Xi running our country “more and more from behind the scenes”.
I would be more surprised who is not running their country that way. We have deep state. China has CCP.
China is renowned for primarily stealing stuff, for their country. I believe deep state doesn’t care about the theft. Neither are a friend to America. Both are hollowing her out. Do you think so too?
HAPPY NEW YEAR! - back at ya! 🥂🥴

I am not sure that I understand. 🤔 Do you mean that China runs most of the countries of the world?
What I am proposing is that China is making major decisions concerning our domestic and international policies - in a somewhat limited capacity. It is certainly becoming less credible to dismiss Joe Bitem as just a greedy dupe and more credible to consider him a traitor (knowingly or unknowingly.)
One example (aside from the spy balloon outrage) is: Are we being prepared to accept a major military campaign by the CCP against Taiwan? Another example is the manipulation of our economy and resources to weaken ourselves and strengthen China's status economically.
Hard to prove, but circumstantially a case can be made that China is intimately involved in our domestic and international policies. âť“
