China: What We Must Do, What We Must Not Do

The truth is that the United States is defending more than just its position in the international system. We are defending the international system itself, the system of treaties, conventions, rules, and norms.

Unfortunately, Xi Jinping, the Chinese ruler, does not believe in that system. He is trying to impose China's imperial‑era notions of the world.

In short, Chinese rulers believed that they had the mandate of heaven over tianxia, meaning "all under heaven." Recently, his pronouncements have become unmistakable.

In the last few months, Xi Jinping has seen an historic opportunity because the United States has been stricken by the disease that China itself has pushed out... What must we do? First, let us talk about what we must not do. We must not save Chinese communism again. In the past, American presidents, when China has been stressed, had ridden to the rescue of the Chinese state.

On May 13 of last year, Beijing declared a "people's war" on the United States. This means the contest with China is existential. There is going to be one survivor. It is either going to be the Peoples' Republic of China or the United States of America, but not both.

Gordon Chang, noted Chinese expert. Biden is OWNED by chicoms as are the demonrats (clintons especially and obamaumao). China's operation against Trump was run through the democrats as "russia, russia" (Chicoms vs. oligarch Putin russia arch enemies in reality). Get past the "made up" race tension the democrat commies are trying to milk and divide us--- it is the Commie 30's playbook now run by Chi-coms, and Biden (more specifically his VP, cause he won't last long, or, if not through the convention, whomever is nominated is their choice). We are at war with China, and we should recognize it--- they launched Covid at us and the West, and at Russia and Russia's client Iran, and we are having Naval encounters in "their" sea. Don't lose sight of the ball, and don't allow antifa commies to destroy our country and our Freedom.

Take a look at how pissed the Australians are at chi-coms infecting them with covid and now threatening them economically-- they are partners with the US against the chi-coms (and even New Zealand it is dawning on them). Japan, S. Korea, and yes.. Taiwan. China thinks they are all "theirs".

Gordon Chang does excellent work - more people should read his research and watch his videos.

Thank you for posting

Goodbye China, please feel welcome to kiss our ass on your way down back to third world status.

What a bunch of suckers we are.

[heshtesh]

Gordon Chang is solid, I try not to miss anything from him.

[John S Mosby]

And take the fake “growth” Potemkin cities with no one in them, with you.

Another thing I don’t go for is the chinese people are victims, the Chinese people should get exactly what they are willing to tolerate.

[John S Mosby]

In Hong Kong they are being trampled— but still in revolt for the moment. The virus and lockdown was designed to shut them down as well. A new law coming from mainland china is turning them into a serf state which, when left alone was providing more than half of the big revenue the chicoms need to run what is left of the country, when they aren’t soaking us and ripping us off.

I have zero problems with most of the Chinese people in Hong Kong as they are trying to make change to the existing system, its mainland china that I have issues with.

Revoke all visas held by Chinese nationals. No exceptions.
Revoke China’s MFN status.
Formally recognize Taiwan as an independent nation. Resume full diplomatic relations.
Announce publicly that the US no longer objects to be Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan going nuclear.
Offer Refugee status to any Hong Kong visa holder who wishes to emigrate to the United States.
Announce that any warship f****** with the US Navy will be sunk with all hands.

Sit back and enjoy the show.

If you are an inhabitant of this planet and IF you have any freedoms, it's because of the United States of America. There might be a country that has freedom not owed to America, but I can't think of any.

Agreed

Make that communist dictatorship an International pariah - expel them from membership in the WTO, and other International organizations.

They are an illegitimate regime. They should be recognized and treated as such.

Lets all stop pretending - the Emperor has no clothes.

Well, watching the American people “bend the knee” to the woke mobs for the past week, the same could be said about us.

Schadenfreude may backfire. We may wish for China to selfdestruct, but don’t bet on it.

[heshtesh]

“Those” mutts make my stomach churn.

[wjcsux]

Later.

[TBP]

Not tough enough.
