James R. Gorrie, author of “The China Crisis,” wrote in the English-language Epoch Times on Tuesday (March 30) that the Chinese Communist Party is using the plague pandemic and the decline of U.S. leadership to try to dominate the world. This will harm the interests of all other countries.
A translation of Gori’s article follows.
China’s future is far more ambitious than the digital dictatorship, anti-utopia, and state prison that the Chinese Communist Party has heavily pressed upon its people over the past decades.
The CCP has much greater ambitions. After all, why enslave only one-fifth of the world’s population when it can keep the world in check?
This is the question that the leaders of the CCP ask themselves every morning.
The Chinese Communist Party’s Attempt to Dominate the World
The Chinese Communist Party wants to encompass the world.
There are many aspects necessary to become a global superpower, and Beijing wants to achieve all of them. The CCP’s plan to establish global hegemony through a global currency system based on the yuan is particularly important. This would, of course, replace the U.S. dollar.
This is just the beginning. By controlling access to the world’s major trade routes, the CCP seeks absolute control of the oceans. It also seeks to dominate the world through a “Made in China” strategy, with plans for leadership in artificial intelligence, robotics, bioengineering and all other areas of technology currently dominated by the United States, Europe and Japan.
These ambitious plans will, of course, hurt all other countries, including Europe, the United States, and even Russia. President Putin may not yet acknowledge this, but he certainly knows it to be true.
Exploiting the Plague Pandemic
Beijing has also rubbed salt into the wound, even attempting to lead the worldwide effort to vaccinate against the Chinese Communist virus (Wuhan pneumonia), which it distributed to the world. The CCP is gaining influence – soft power – by providing free vaccines to nearly 70 countries, even though it despicably blocked access to masks, respirators, and other supplies and medicines to most of the world in the early stages of the outbreak.
The CCP’s “vaccine-driven” foreign policy has also proven beneficial to its failed “Belt and Road” strategy. Beijing’s aggressive debt trap has lured many countries into joining the Belt and Road Initiative, but the scam is being uncovered. And the Communist Party’s viral pandemic offers Beijing a chance to reverse its predicament. By linking vaccine giveaways to the Belt and Road Initiative, the Communist Party has gained more influence and power.
Of course, it is undeniable that the CCP clearly controls the World health Organization, the United Nations, and the Biden-Harris administration (as they like to call themselves).
The Decline of American Leadership
The bigger problem, however, is not the expansion of the CCP in the world, but the unwillingness of the Biden Administration to lead the world. President Biden and his apparent delirium have led the Chinese Communist Party and other enemies to view the United States as a declining power and to preemptively prevent the new administration from making an aggressive start in foreign policy.
And they were right.
Biden’s White House has no leadership, only compromise and weakness for the CCP and Iran, and no claim to any U.S.-led world. In other words, the Chinese Communist Party is filling the void left on the world stage by the departure of the Trump (Trump) administration, a void that is growing under the Biden administration.
Not only is U.S. influence rapidly diminishing abroad, but so is our economic capacity at Home. America is once again dependent on foreign oil, driving up fuel prices and other fuel-related prices, and Inflation is now a real problem. The cost of canceling the Keystone pipeline plan is thousands of jobs, and once again, plants are leaving the U.S. for foreign countries and taking jobs with them.
More importantly, Biden is overspending under the banner of plague relief (nearly $2 trillion) and is drawing up a $3 trillion infrastructure plan that will only further damage the economy and thus threaten our vitality as productivity is now falling, unemployment is rising and unsustainable debt is being added to the national budget.
In short, the U.S. is now regressing to the decline of the great powers before the Trump Administration, which has led to a power vacuum in the world. Given these destructive trends, why doesn’t the Chinese Communist Party attempt to transform the world of its own volition?
Who can stop them?
The Chinese Communist Party plays the “American card”
For the moment, it is certainly not the United States, nor Europe, that can stop the CCP. The Biden administration is saying nice things, but was recently humiliated by the CCP at a summit in Alaska. The world sees a very different America now than it was under former President Trump. With Trump out of the White House and Biden in, America is no longer a bastion of opposition to the expansionism of the Chinese Communist Party.
In fact, no one is.
What is most difficult to tolerate is that the Chinese Communist Party has been planning its rise at the expense of the United States. The “China card” that Nixon played so well against the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War is now actually the “America card” that the Communist Party is playing against us.
The massive flow of technology, intellectual property, military equipment, and capital from the United States to the CCP is designed to make the CCP more authoritarian, more powerful, and more than capable of withstanding the economic challenges it faces at home that threaten its very existence. But the CCP neither wants to soften its stance nor has any plans to make China more democratic.
Today, the CCP has demonstrated its power, while the United States, whose leadership and economy have declined, is powerless and in some cases unwilling to fight back.
Moreover, the Harris administration (which will become a reality in the near future) will not make any difference. It may even accelerate America’s economic malaise at home and its shrinking violet abroad.
It’s going to be a long four years.
