For several decades - over two generations, the wealthy elite were raking in $ billions from the Chinese slave labor from China. The Nixon and Kissinger theory was to engage with China and get them used to a higher standard of living and then later the nation would become so used to having more, that they would automatically transition to a more western type of democracy.
But what happened instead was the communists in China maintained a hard control on the people and funneled a large portion of profits into their war machine. More than any percentage of all the nations in the world. Their documented long-term goal was to take over the world, and this was stated in their political and military documents, which I have studied. The plan to strike America with a biological attack was lined out in their plans by a major general. He even stated they needed to reduce their population by hundreds of millions in the same process, even by the release of germs on their own citizens. In fact, to do so in their mind, would absolve them from guilt on a global attack with biological weapons if it started against their own people. The plan was to weaken America to such a degree they could march into the US without dropping a bomb or firing a shot. That is an exact quote by their top general which I have written about in past articles.
Why would the globalists start a war on people and lands they already possess? That is a good question. But the rules of the game have changed since the early 1970s. We now have 7 billion people on the planet. We now have a rogue communist nation that no longer can be reined in by the globalists. The communists can also produce weapons of mass destruction, whether germs or nukes, and sell them to a plethora of highest bidders including radical terrorists. That is a recipe for global disaster - where EVERY city in the world is at risk of blowing up.
The bottom line is, the globalists have visualized losing control of a communist monster that can throw the planet into absolute chaos. That means the globalist lose the lands, and the labor, and total control of their subjects - forever. There is no going back from that.
China is no longer in the club where they are controlled by the wealthy elite. They are now considered a rogue nation that must be dealt with. If the result of the war is the loss of a few million people, that is acceptable to the globalists as a form of needed population control anyway. But they cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, allow a rogue nation to threaten their control by producing more germ warfare weapons or proliferate nuclear weapons around the world to every rag tag terrorist with a death wish. The entire game has changed, and now, so has the reasons for war.

The following are a few questions and my responses that come up on blogs and independent news sites:
I know a guy, immigrated legally from China because he believed he would be free here. He has moved to a small community in another province because he was being followed and harassed to stop talking bad about China. The CCP expects all Chinese nationals, even those that have taken new citizenship in another country to be loyal to China above everything else, or be punished for it. In a place like Vancouver if China directed all their nationals living here to take action against us, I am willing to bet that many would obey, some out of conviction and others out of fear.
My response:
So, in effect the Chinese communists consider their nationalists an invading force, a fifth column, to be called upon and activated at an appointed time. It would be interesting to find out the percentage of Chinese in Canada and the US.

I have been actively following the foreign troops on our borders since 1992 when they came into Idaho and Montana from Canada. I also received reports from tourists in Mexico about foreign troops. The communists are testing and prodding to just see what they can get away with. But to be honest with you, logistically speaking it would be very difficult for any foreign army to bring sufficient numbers onto the continent to invade our nation successfully. Our military and agencies are watching this and between them and the patriots in the nation we can handle any invasion as things stand now. However, if liberal states secede that may change the equation, and then foreign troops may be invited in to defend their territory.

Someone asked about the difference in the size of the US Navy and the Chinese Navy. Here is my response:
Here are the facts:
Is China's navy bigger than the US?
The People's Liberation Army Navy is bigger than the United States Navy. ... Not only is the PLAN large, numbering about 350 ships and submarines, it is becoming more modern. Sep. 3, 2020 (from fact check sources on line)

China's navy ships and subs are smaller than ours, even though they have more in numbers. But in a war the US will beat China hands down if our war strategy is thought out and we strike first.

Statement from a reader:
The USA couldn't win in the middle east against a bunch of guys in sandals. They couldn't beat a bunch of rice farmers in Vietnam. You are spewing democrat BS. "re. the government has tanks." Small arms owners absolutely can defeat a government, be it America, China, or anyone else.
My response:
Those previous wars were designed by the Military Industrial Complex to make $ millions in the war factories and make the politicians rich through stocks they owned. They had no intention of winning in Viet Nam or Afghanistan - 19 years and still counting. Those Mickey Mouse countries didn't defeat us - we weren't allowed to win.
This situation with China is completely different. We have already been attacked and lost over 220,000 citizens. Trump knows that the next stage of war will kill a lot more innocent people unless he confronts them and uses every weapon at his disposal. He will only have one chance to get it right, otherwise a barrage of nuclear missiles will destroy our nation and send us back to the stone age.

This note was sent to me:
You have fallen for a classic Trump con as he has NOT actually cracked down on China. Remember Trump talks big but actually DOES very little. Did he lock her up, build a wall, repeal DAA, deport illegals, balance federal budget? NO!
Same with China. There are still about 300K Chinese students attending USA premier universities and each is required by Chinese law to spy on US for CCP. USA's $500 billion trade deficit with China has barely moved meaning China is still selling massive amounts of products into the USA. Thousands of Chinese women are still welcomed to the USA to have babies which are pronounced US citizens and will be used as anchor babies to bring in dozens of their CCP family members.
My response:
Your insights and statement are accurate and can be totally verified. I considered all of the facts you mentioned, and have shared the same things to friends for 3.5 years.
But something altered Trump's mindset a few months ago during the pandemic outbreak and shutdown. It didn't happen all at once, but slowly, incrementally, Trump started to see what was really going on. He then started to distance himself from the doctors that were pushing the pandemic scare mongering and his language changed on China. He realized it was a deliberate biological attack on America, as an act of war. Then he started to place sanctions on them and increase the tariffs and controls on Chinese imports. Then he stopped the new "most favored nation" trade agreement with China, which shocked everyone.
Instead of bending to China's will, he became fearless against them in every dealing - including making bold, confrontational statements about the islands in the south China sea not belonging to China. He then sent the highest government officials to Taiwan for the first time in many decades for talks and then approved $hundreds of millions in sales of high tech military equipment to the anti-communists.
He then pulled out tens of thousands of our troops and their families out of South Korea, which appeared to be a precaution to protect them in an area that would be difficult to defend. He then sent the great majority of all our B52s, B1 bombers, and a huge number of our stealth fighters and bombers to bases within flight distance to China. Then he sent several large Navy groups into the south China sea. Trump also activated our spy planes and large control planes that monitor huge war theaters during conflicts.
The last time this was done was in 2017 when North Korea was shooting off missiles and doing nuclear tests. In response Trump tried the peace route during his first year as president and was deceived by Kim Jong Un, thinking he would get rid of his nukes. But this time all of our military assets are in place to confront China, and North Korea as well, if they make an aggressive move against us.

Additional thoughts:
Trump knows if we don't stop China now, they could at any time in the future set off an EMP nuke over our nation and cripple our electric grid - which would take an entire year to repair. If that happened the experts say, the US would devolve into chaos and we'd lose 90% of our population to starvation, plagues and riots. In view of this, there is only one option left for Trump - and that is to stop China now before it’s too late.

If an invading army came into the United States, every gun owner along the way would consider it open season with no bag limit. Remember what happened to the Hessian mercenaries that the British brought in to fight the US Continental army? George Washington had them lined up and shot, every single one of them without fail. Those mercenaries came to the American continent to kill people, and they were not given the option to be a prisoner of war.
Well placed neutron bombs would kill off all foreign troops before they entered US soil. and it would leave buildings intact. We don't have to wait until they are here for hand to hand combat, that would be plum stupid. George Eaton
