But was he wearing a mask?!
Americans are stupid even beyond my low estimation of the public.
I wish he would get serious preventing us from BECOMING China. The Left is out of control.
Wonder when the Chinese will realize that by bullying Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines they’re pushing them into a closer security relationship with the other two big fellas on the block, the US and Japan (which has a small but highly professional navy)? Do they want a war with a country that kicked their a$$es before, the second largest predominantly Muslim country in SE Asia, and a former colonial possession of ours? All three backed by the two countries possessing the only really significant Pacific naval power? Pride goes before the fall. I honestly couldn’t expect they’d be this stupid.
I am surprised the administration was able to make good on their threats to Huawei. No way did I think Brittan or the EU would back them up on that.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Do you have any particular thoughts on these developments?
It has been a real sea change in Global attitudes, and the currents are now running hard against communist China.
The panda mask has fallen away, and the conventional wisdom has now become that communist China is aggressive and dangerous.
The coronavirus may have been the watershed event, maybe it was the seizing of Hong Kong’s sovereignty, maybe the lethal assault on India’s border; but there have been so many significant events, that it has become an inescapable conclusion. Many people have suddenly stopped blinding themselves to China’s aggression in the South China Sea, the predation of Chinese trade policy and the debt trap of their Belt and Road Initiative, or the brutal repression of the Uighurs, Tibetans, Falun Gong, Christians - of all people of conscience. It is kind of like everyone suddenly realizing that the Emperor has no clothes.
Part of any realistic view of communist China, must be the realization that their economy is a massive fraud, from stem to stern.
We need to withdraw everything we can salvage, and let that rotten structure collapse.
