Rule by Foreigners, in Ancient China, and in the U.S.
American Thinker ^ | 21 Aug, 2025 | Brian Wink

Rule by imported foreigners has been a method of imperial oppression in some corners of history.

The account of Marco Polo is instructive on this, as he traveled throughout Asia, visiting many kingdoms and empires. He recounted his learnings of statecraft in his autobiography, “The Travels of Marco Polo.”

He described the control of China (Cathay) by the Great Kublai Khan of the Mongol Empire (Tartars) by the employment of foreign governors.

One particular nasty governor was the Muslim (Saracen) Achmath, chief viceroy to the Khan. He wrote:

You will hear further on how that there are twelve persons appointed who have authority to dispose of lands, offices, and everything else at their discretion. Now one of these was a certain Saracen named Achmath, a shrewd and able man, who had more power and influence with the Grand Kaan than any of the others; and the Kaan held him in such regard that he could do what he pleased ...

... and ...

This person disposed of all governments and offices, and passed sentence on all malefactors; and whenever he desired to have any one whom he hated put to death, whether with justice or without it, he would go to the Emperor and say: “Such an one deserves death, for he hath done this or that against your imperial dignity.” Then the Lord would say: “Do as you think right,” and so he would have the man forthwith executed.

SNIP

we have seen the replacement of heritage Americans, with a long lineage rooted in American culture, by foreign-born or second generation immigrants that lack deep American roots.

Our 2024 presidential race nearly came down to two people who were born not of U.S. citizens, but rather of foreign workers in the U.S.: Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley.

We all know what an American is. It is someone who has an allegiance to America, to the Republic under the Constitution and to the American culture.
