‘Wokeness As A Geopolitical Tool’: Author Says China Is Using Social Justice To Manipulate Americans
Daily Caller ^ | 04/07/2021 | Nathalie Voit

Entrepreneur and author of “Woke, Inc” Vivek Ramaswamy claimed China is using “woke” politics to manipulate Americans during a Wednesday appearance on “Fox and Friends.”

China has positioned itself as “uniquely off-limits” for identification as the origin country for the novel coronavirus despite the country clearly being so, Ramaswamy argued.

“The Zika virus, the Marburg virus, and Ebola, were all named after the places of origin. In fact, MERS stands for the Middle Eastern respiratory virus. That’s an older coronavirus,” Ramaswamy told “Fox & Friends.” Ramaswamy continued, noting other COVID-19 strains — such as the U.K. variant, Brazilian variant and South African variant — which refer to their place of origin.

Ramaswamy said that despite this precedent, it has become impossible to mention the “Wuhan virus.”

“And we have to ask ourselves why, and the answer is crystal clear to me. It is that China has mastered the art of using wokeness as a geopolitical tool against the United States,” Ramaswamy continued. “And if there is any doubt about that, just look at the comments of Xi Jinping when European leaders pressed him last year on [China’s] human rights record. He cites Black Lives Matter as a way of saying the U.S. is no better. Their top diplomat in Alaska last month falsely claiming that black Americans are being slaughtered, and [that] he hopes the U.S. does better on human rights.”

Ramaswamy went on to defend Republican Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted after he faced backlash for using the term “Wuhan virus.” Husted was commenting on former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield saying he believed the virus likely originated from the Wuhan lab.

“They have mastered this game and they are using Americans here as pawns by now, deflecting accountability for COVID-19 by claiming that any allusion to China is now racist. And that’s laughable,”

The “Stop bashing China” placards showing up at “stop hating Asians” demonstrations suggest the CCP has a hand in this movement.

That would be like equating the Biden-Harris administration with the United States of America when we know that MOST Americans did not vote for this tandem in November 2020.

China is

Soros is

European libtard socialists are

American libtard socialists are

Everyone needs to know we are in actual WAR, the other side recognizes it

Our side sleeps

Organize on multiple levels and then start executing your plans. No mercy. Dont stop until you win.

Once you win, organize for the next batch of goals, and also organize to keep what you’ve won already. Dont stop until you win.

Repeat prior step.

China has turned racism into an art form.

They view all non-Chinese as sub-human.

Divide and conquer.
China is the driver of BLM and all racial animosity against Caucasians. Proclamations of words that are no longer politically correct have always seemed to pop up out of nowhere, and all of the MSM joins in on cue. It’s not George Soros-no one individual could pull this many strings in coordination in the background. Only a government from a World Power has this much influence. Americans have been in the midst of a psy-ops organization for at least 30 years.
