It is quite possible China sent the
Wuhan Flu, i.e. COVID-1984, A.K.A. the coronavirus, to America (and the rest
of the world) as a kind of test. If so, America (and the rest of the world)
failed that test. Then China sent a giant weather/spy balloon across America, surveilling its most
sensitive nuclear and other military sites, as another test, to see how we
would respond to that preposterous provocation. We failed that test, as
well. More recently, military aged Chinese men have been pouring across the
U.S. southern border, taking up positions in various parts of the country, to
do no one knows what. The best guess, however, is that they are forming sleeper
cells and preparing to wreak havoc on the fruited plain. The CCP made us sick,
and the US government responded, not by punishing China, but by locking
down and stealing the freedoms from its own citizens, ironically in classic
Chinese fashion. Then the CCP surveilled us with the weather/spy balloon, many
stories tall. This was, literally, a trial balloon. Said balloon slowly, yet
meticulously, traversed the length and breadth of the (formerly) United States
while the Biden administration fiddled and worried about pronouns… before
finally shooting the balloon down over the Atlantic Ocean. Once again,
it did not hold the Chinese government responsible. That crisis, like the
coronavirus-- and indeed the Chinese balloon itself-- eventually blew over, but
not before causing grievous harm to the erstwhile Land of the Free and Home of
the Brave…and leading China to believe the U.S. had lost its mojo.
In the 2024 election just passed
(or possibly still going on if you’re talking about certain House races), voters
in California and 9 other states could choose to vote for a presidential
candidate from the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). The PSL’s
candidate, Claudia De La Cruz, is a founding member and co-executive director
of The People’s Forum, which is funded by a Maoist millionaire living in
Communist China, and whose Shanghai office faces a red banner that reads ‘Always
Follow the Party.’ That is a motto that, ironically, leftists follow
religiously, though most, like the CCP, disdain religion.
Whether at universities or at the
ballot box, China hopes to make inroads into the United States…and everywhere
else. Speaking of roads, China, via its Belt and Road Initiative, is building infrastructure in
countries around the globe, currying favor (and indebtedness), and paving the
way for global hegemony. China has invested in countless highways, railroads,
bridges, dams, and ports, all with an eye to making China the pre-eminent
economic and military power on Earth.
Progressives, whether in the
U.S., Canada, or elsewhere, are quick to excuse any ‘alleged’ Chinese threats
to their nations. Indeed, some, like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
have outright praised China and its Communist government led by Xi Jinping. Trudeau said he
admired its “basic dictatorship.” Canada can’t rid itself of this clown fast
enough. (I suggest sending him on a slow boat to… you know where.)
Many of us still have not come to
terms with the origination of the coronavirus. Many more of us have forgotten
about the surveillance balloon and the indignity it inflicted. But the Chinese
Communist Party does not forget, does not lose focus, does not waver. (Coincidentally,
flocks of drones have been flying over some of
America’s most sensitive military sites of late. The Pentagon says there’s just
not much it can do about it. Really?)
When the Trump administration takes
office, there will be a new sheriff in town. Hopefully, those in it will not
have forgotten either.
As Sun-Tzu said, “The supreme art of
war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
Let’s hope the Trump administration
can do just that.
