The uproar over the balloon seems to be merely a catalyst that solidifies a growing awareness of Chinese belligerence that, strangely has been largely passively observed as the Chinese threaten the skies over Taiwan and in the artificial islands of the South China Sea. More recently, the Chinese Navy has been firing lasers at Philippine Coast Guard vessels. Chinese aggressiveness is become so blatant that even the Japanese, both constitutionally and culturally pacifist now, have taken to arming themselves.
Si is no doubt well familiar with the writings of Sun Tzu who articulates in, The Art of War, the advantage to be had in avoiding kinetic conflict when subtleties will gain the victory. Why have the Chinese abandoned a course of action that was destined to bring not just their near environment under their control but ultimately to bring America to fall like ripe fruit into their laps?
The Chinese had suborned half of Congress and, of course, the President of the United States. Since taking office, Biden has undercut American national security and advanced the Chinese threat at every opportunity.
No major American institution dared to cross the Chinese. Wall Street is investing our retirement funds according to the wishes of the Chinese Communist Party. Hollywood dares not release any film that is in any way critical of China. American media, apart from Fox, is for the most part subservient to China. Our supply chain is choked by China.
So pervasive is Chinese influence in America that the Chinese were on course to dominate us. There would be no need for the Chinese Marine Corps to storm the beaches of San Diego, the left-wing in America will so undermine our morale and our culture that those leftists in power will simply open the gates and invite the barbarians through.
We will be told that universal surveillance and compulsory use of digital currency with our telephones is now required and, besides, good for us. The takeover will come from within, we will owe nothing and we will be miserable.
Why have the Chinese alerted America to the gravest danger we have faced since the Cuban missile crisis?
