Writing on Fox News Sunday (March 28), Professor Victor Davis Hanson, a military historian and senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, said the Chinese Communist Party defies the United States and seeks global hegemony, and its provocations manifest themselves not only in words but also in deeds, yet pretends to be a victim of American racism. And some leftist corporations and celebrities in the U.S. are aiding and abetting the Chinese Communist Party in its quest to achieve global hegemony.
Professor Hansen’s article is translated as follows.
At high-level U.S.-China talks in Anchorage, Alaska, two weeks ago, Chinese Communist diplomats fixed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. Both sides seemed stunned by the strongly worded exchange of words.
Indeed, it was the first Time U.S. diplomats had been so brutally roughed up by a communist regime since John F. Kennedy was humiliated by Soviet strongman Nikita Khrushchev at the Vienna summit in June 1961 when he was newly elected president.
The Chinese Communist provocations are not just verbal, nor are they only directed at our senior officials. In two separate incidents on the campus of New York University in Shanghai in early March, NYU students were roughed up and imprisoned by the Chinese Communist authorities. A number of U.S. diplomats in China were recently forced to undergo anal swab testing for the Chinese Communist virus (COVID-19), allegedly due to “errors.
These examples of humiliation and harassment are likely to increase exponentially. The Chinese Communist Party is involved in the insidious and systematic theft of U.S. patents and copyrights. It blatantly violates trade agreements, manipulates its currency, dumps its products on the world market below cost, engages in cyber warfare, appropriates Western technology, and obstructs correct information about the origin of the CCP virus (COVID-19).
If the CCP pays for it, it considers itself in possession of the recipient. In the past five years, New York University has accepted approximately $47 million in gifts from the CCP. The U.S. Department of Education recently subpoenaed Stanford University for failing to report more than $64 million in donations from the CCP since 2010. It is not surprising that the CCP recently sent a visiting researcher to Stanford who turned out to have ties to the CCP military.
Hollywood claims it has awakened. But a recent study suggests that some directors are choosing actors with lighter skin tones to appeal to the preferences of Chinese moviegoers and the lucrative Chinese film market, which is set to become the world’s largest by 2021.
Many NBA players and coaches have denounced racism in the United States, but they have avoided criticizing the Chinese Communist Party for human rights violations. This is not surprising considering that the NBA has a $5 billion market in China.
Many countries in Africa, Asia and Europe have signed “One Belt, One Road” agreements with the CCP to develop global infrastructure. Some of these partners are now revisiting the details of their contracts. The multibillion-dollar investment by the Chinese Communist Party does not come without conditions. Borrowing from the CCP has been costly in terms of repayment and political capitulation.
The CCP has destroyed Tibetan Culture, undermined democracy in Hong Kong, imprisoned Muslim minorities in detention camps, and systematically discriminated against African tourists, but the perpetrators play the victim of American racism. Whenever American celebrities denounce the United States as racist, the racist Chinese Communist Party helpfully says, “Amen!”
The Chinese Communist Party is making every effort to achieve global hegemony. It is seeking the sympathy of world opinion, at least until it gains super military and economic power.
Thus, for now, the CCP pretends to be a victim and seeks the support of others within the United States and abroad who claim to be victims of American racism.
Given the CCP’s brutal human rights record, this naked tactic and hypocrisy seems insane. But our sharply increasing budget deficit, staggering national debt, lax immigration policies, riots in the summer of 2020 and other internal strife, which are seen as even more insane by the CCP leaders, are also the perfect reward for their behavior.
