Long history of China’s CCP and Biowarfare
In July 2021, Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL) issued a Press Release that, to date, stands out for its courage and honesty. Rep. Brooks wrote about a meeting he’d attended with Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese medical doctor, Ph.D. virologist, and whistleblower, who fled to the U.S. from Hong Kong in 2020 after being threatened with being “disappeared” for speaking out about the origins of the SARS-CoV-2. Her mission since then has been to warn America and the world about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s offensive Biological Warfare (BW) program.

As US-China relations worsen, expect supply chain chaos
Blinken’s visit to Stanford seems to be part of a general effort from the Biden administration to nationalize technology policy and shape the technology industry into an asset that could be useful in a China conflict. Blinken announced his creation of the State Department’s Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy in April. In August, President Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act, which will spend $280 billion on U.S. semiconductor infrastructure.

Biden Launches a Full-Blown Economic War on China, It Will Backfire
The U.S. Commerce Department announced a series of new trade restrictions earlier this month that banned the export of some computer processing chips to China.

500 years ago, China destroyed its world-dominating navy because its political elite was afraid of free trade
But by 1525, all of China’s “Treasure Fleet” ships had been destroyed — burned in their docks or left to rot by the government. China had been poised to circumnavigate the globe decades before the Europeans did, but instead the Ming Dynasty retracted into itself and entered a 200-year-long slump.

Hungary’s Ties With China Raise Serious Concern
Hungary has quietly become China’s strongest ally in Europe, a development that has raised serious concerns among conservatives and others in the U.S. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has been applauded by many conservatives in the U.S., has also drawn fire recently for taking a sympathetic position in favor of Moscow after President Vladimir Putin launched his brutal war on Ukraine.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan is coming
Xi, like Mao, wants the Revolution to continue. He wants to roll the Hegelian dice with his own hand. Marx and Lenin, rise from your graves and conquer! And so, hewing to the old-school CCP version of ‘history’ – which claims that China is fated to undo all its past ‘humiliations’ and return to the center of geopolitics – Xi all but lowered the green flag on the final grand battle that will make China great again: the invasion of Taiwan.

Could America Win a New World War?
When it comes to international relations, 2022 has been an exceptionally dangerous year. During the first two months, Russia massed thousands of troops along Ukraine’s borders. At the end of the second one, Moscow sent them marching into Ukraine. China, meanwhile, has grown increasingly belligerent toward Washington, particularly over Taiwan. After U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taipei in August, Beijing carried out a furious set of military exercises designed to show how it would blockade and attack the island. Washington, in turn, has explored how it can more quickly arm and support the Taiwanese government.

Meta, Snap Surge After FCC Boss Says US Should Ban TikTok
“It’s the strongest language Carr has used to date to urge action on TikTok. With more than 200 million downloads in the US alone, the popular app is becoming a form of critical information infrastructure — making the app’s ownership by a Chinese parent company a target of growing national security concern.”

Ethical AI: The Key to a Free and Thriving Future
