Read Peter Schweizer’s new book, Blood Money. It is all part of the asymmetrical warfare that China has been waging against the US and the Democrat sell outs, who have no respect for Western values. The gender dysphoria is home grown, directed at Christianity because a Christian belief in God is anathema to Statism.
According to Blood Money, China donates to LGBT NGOs and politicians , the politicians are mixed up with all of the money laundering and don’t dare do anything to interfere with the Chinese Fentanyl War on the US.
I believe that Democrats see China as no threat. Some even agree with their form of government.
What they see is is China as source of wealth. The triads and the CCP support their NGOs and donate to their campaigns. In exchange, they look the other way when it comes to money laundering . Read Peter Schweizer’s new book, Blood money. Dealings with China are not harmless. This is the new Opium War.
More Americans were killed last year by fentanyl than were killed in Vietnam. This is the symmetrical war they always warned us about. You cannot sit it out.
