We should be repeatedly and clearly asking business leaders this question. Whose side are you on?
How can we help? I think one way is THE POWER OF THE PURSE. Let them know who we are, what we disapprove of and the power we yield. They will be arrogant in telling us we don’t have that pwer until we show them.

” We are in an epic contest with China”
Virgil . the author of this article is so woke-fully guilty
of that which he accuses , its almost like some one reached up his rectum, as if he were a sock and pulled him inside out. We see all of the putrid ugly, the bankrupt thinking, the pusillanimous diatribe of pouting invective and stamping feet.
Context:
China was ruined by the West in the Opium trade. The drug literally demolished a structured society that was replete with perhaps the most elderly and highest culture of the pre-scientific age. The industrial revolution was barely in the imagination of the scions of Europe when Opium from India and elsewhere was traded on the docks of Shanghai’s Bund for the fortunes that created much of the initial Industrial might of the West.Britain , Germany and yes, unfortunately our USA were complicit in the destruction of China and eventually the Imperial order which had given China the mandate of Heaven for about 6000 revolutions around our sun.
As a direct result, that dissolution and destruction of China through an epidemic of opiod abuse and profit gave us the Chinese Communist who we must deal with today.
The Failure to bring a Truly American View:
Yet Virgil waxes on , seemingly ignorant of the crucible from whichi this contest was formed.President Nixon was right in opening relations with China. We as a nation were right in perpetrating the modernization and recovery of China from a miserable North Korean like nation to what China is today. And now we must show China that now since we have initiated the rebuilding of her, she must join the community of nations and adhere to a lawful order.
This relationship is not about a contest of conquest, although the Chinese may think so. It is about peace through strength, and the taming of China from being a modern totalitarian spoiled beast. The leaders of China are afraid they will loose power to a freedom movement which is so popular with the Chinese People, one which is being seeded from Hong Kong. We should quietly go about supporting Hong Kong in a very open way.
We have three jobs to accomplish in parallel:
1) Through international unity,bring China into the lawful Community of Nations and force her to adhere to international law through the judicious use of economic sanctions and military strength. This includes scuh moves as taking ownership of the Port owned formerly by China in Oakland, California, and also moving to remove China from regulation the PANAMA CANAL.Also we need to project American military might into the western Pacific, and press a of contest Chinese occupation of the Spratley Islands, for the sake of International Territorial Sovereignty claims.
2) Inundate China with American tourists who add a substantial bonus to the Chinese economy, just like we did with post WWII Japan. This can be dome with lots of cheap flights into China, not just into the major cities, but into the regional centers of China,so that the Chinese Communist inspired myth of a racial inferiority of Westerners, used to justify Potential Chinese aggression ,is deflated.
3) Root out , indict and prosecute all Chinese agents involved in industrial and military espionage in the USA
and abroad. We have been far to open with China, and we must root out these agents of Western destruction , indict them and put them on public trial.
What is China?
China is a wise, strategic, spoiled, petulant child that must be forced to grow up.She is no longer an infant, but a rebellious teenager set to contest the ways of her modern parent, the United States of America.This is the way of peace, and the way being walked by President Donald J Trump.
Our way forward:
God bless President Trump and may he continue to play the complex game of Chinese Chess for as long as it takes. President Trump’s successors should learn from hm Big League and follow his example into the future. Australia would be a tremendous ally in supporting us as Freeper Fred Nerks knows, the Chinese are deeply rooted in Australia economically.
This is a long term contest, like the Cold War was with Russia. But unlike Russia, who refused to dance with the West, China has joined the Dance. And we must be the nation who plays the tunes of freedom, prosperity and peace through strength, remembering that the Democrats just want to line their own corrupt pockets while surrendering to China.We need to convert the Democrats into righteous Americans, just as President Trump is now doing. The Dems must join in this contest of balance with China, they too need to learn how to dance, they seem to have forgotten and have become sluts for international Communist Chinese interests.
Goodbye to simplistic thinking:
As to Virgil? He is so simplistic in his view that no good can come of it. We do not cope with China by thinking we are in a winner/looser situation. We both win or we both loose. That’s the fact.And it is the fact of which a glimmer of recognition in the eyes of the Chinese is beginning to appear.
