Based on the recent news, it would appear that you are not taking China seriously as a threat to US National Security.
Biden SPEC John Kerry has been repeatedly allowed to obstruct Congressional oversight into his dealings with the Chinese. The House Oversight Committee has opened an investigation into Kerry's high-level climate negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Given that China accounts for 27% of emissions, Kerry’s efforts to get the CCP on board with climate change appear to be a joke. From Fox News, “Kerry is soft on China's human rights violations while promoting climate negotiations that the CCP does not even appear interested in entering.”
Then there is the Chinese Spy Balloon. The Chinese are running surveillance over the State of Montana, and the US government is gaslighting the public that this is no big deal. According to the AP, a senior defense official told Pentagon reporters that the U.S. has “very high confidence” it is a Chinese high-altitude balloon, that the balloon was flying over sensitive sites to collect information, and that the US has “engaged” Chinese officials through multiple channels and communicated the seriousness of the matter.
“The defense official said the spy balloon was trying to fly over the Montana missile fields, but the U.S. has assessed that it has “limited” value in terms of providing China intelligence it couldn’t already collect by other means, such through spy satellites.”
That’s just a silly gaslight – the altitude of a balloon and the altitude of a satellite are so vastly different. Obviously, the balloon would have greater collection capabilities simply due to proximity.
The only official who seems to be taking this seriously is Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte: “From the spy balloon to the Chinese Communist Party spying on Americans through TikTok to CCP-linked companies buying American farmland, I’m deeply troubled by the constant stream of alarming developments for our national security.”
While the government gaslights us that this is no big deal, Secretary Blinken has now canceled his trip to Beijing, citing the balloon.
Finally is the news that China is buying up US academies for their Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC). As reported in the Washington Free Beacon, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, says Chinese ownership of these schools could pose a national security threat. He sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Tuesday, urging the Pentagon to survey JROTC programs at private schools across the country to see if they are foreign-owned. According to the piece, Chinese firms have entered the private school market "in the hopes of cashing in on Chinese students' quest for admission into a U.S. college."
China appears to be on the offensive in the Fifth Generation War, and you all appear to be more interested in your campaigning and political aspirations. You are in your role to protect America and Americans’ natural rights.
The American People demand answers about China’s infiltration into American institutions. We also demand full disclosure of all US officials’ relationships with China.
Remember Your Oath.
