Trump vs. China: Facing America’s Greatest Threat
by Newt Gingrich
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich sounds the warning bell that communist-ruled China poses the biggest threat to the United States that we have seen in our lifetime.
The United States is currently engaged in a competition with the Chinese government unlike any other that we have witnessed before. This is a competition between the American system—which is governed by freedom and the rule of law—and a totalitarian dictatorship that is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. These are two different visions for the future; one will succeed, and one will fail.
My geopolitical guys have always said that China doesn’t bluff.
NEWT STFU!
Far more than even the feckless politicians, it is our own business leaders who have brought us to this point. Many of them should be hanging from ropes for their treason in selling out the United States for their own personal gain. And the globalism fetish has directly led to a situation in which one company, TSMC, in one small island nation, has become so critical to the global supply chain that their demise could wreck the economy of every developed nation. Chasing ever-cheaper labor has put the world in peril. The United States is populous and resource rich enough to be a nearly self-contained economy. There is no excuse for farming out production of critical resources or components to other countries, especially when those items (such as semiconductors) have immense strategic implications.
Whatever happened to the idea of having many sources for goods so that competition could flourish? Instead, we’ve gotten this global supply chain that is littered with single points of failure.
You may want to do some research on who he is. A historian. Ever hears of Contract With America? US balanced budget under Clinton?
Yes. The proper political response would have been that the peloisi family has been a great friend to China. Nancy Pelosi's husband has made millions from them. Nancy had a Chinese spy on her staff and helped him get away.
She is one of the best friends China has in the US and they will not harm her. This is all political theater for gullible people.
All you say is common sense and true. But what rules our economy is Wall Street profits and stupid sellout hack politicians in DC who won’t even shut down our Mexican border.
Summary — Wall Street profits rule over all that you mention.
That’s nice. What’s he done that’s worth supporting after he got tossed from office?
Reminder: Newt thought doing this was a good idea - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi6n_-wB154

Thanks for posting that picture.
Never Forget!!
Well the acting President did not want Pelosi to visit Taiwan, she did anyway. Could Pelosi be the hidden hand controlling the White House?

Obama is running the White House.
If the Chinese government threatens us or our allies we should stop selling all of their products in all US stores!!! Why would we financially support a country that threatens us?
Newt was IMHO the best Speaker we have had in my lifetime.
His contract with America gave the voters a clear choice of the difference between Republicans and Democrats. They spelled out the Republican platform in plain English that anyone could read and understand. Then the US Reps signed their names to it saying this is what we will do IF you vote for us.
It was a brilliant political move and gave a clear majority win for the Republican majority Congress.
This clear win forced Bill Clinton to move more to the middle.
It forced him to sign a balanced budget.
It showed that the majority of the country is center right.
It changed the political landscape of the USA.
The Republican Congressional leaders since then have been milk toast RINOs at best. Including the one who most likely become the next Speaker.
I have always thought Newt’s political analyses were pretty good, certainly not perfect. But this. He is way way off here. Bluff? Well, what if it is not a bluff? Do we really want WW3 with China (and Russia) because Pelosi??? was shot down?
“Thanks for posting that picture.

Images mean a lot less than actions. Although Newt is not perfect, remember the CONTRACT WITH AMERICA.
Taiwan is not an independent state. This is stated in official US policy that accepts “ one China”. If the sloppy author can list countries that recognize Taiwan as “ independent”, the USA will not be included.
The only way China takes Taiwan is a total blockade of air and sea. Never going to happen.
