Zhang Jiadun: Biden’s handling of Communist regime “very bad”

In a recent interview, China expert Gordon Chang said some of the policies Biden has enacted so far have been “very bad” in dealing with the Chinese Communist regime.

In the interview, Chang said the Biden administration needs to accelerate its actions and launch a comprehensive campaign to address the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

In general, the administration is “moving in the right direction,” “but we’re not moving fast enough,” which is dangerous, Gordon said, because “what the CCP is doing can bring down our system.

More than three months after President Biden took office, many of the key China policies initiated by the Trump administration are still “under review” (review is the term used by the White House).

Some of the policies Biden has enacted so far have been “very bad” in dealing with the Communist regime, while others have been “very good,” according to Gordon. Those positive policies, he said, include U.S. sanctions against Chinese supercomputing companies.

One measure that Gordon opposed was an executive order Biden issued in January to combat racism and xenophobia against Asian-Americans during the pandemic.

The measure was in part a response to then-President Donald Trump’s use of the term “Chinese virus” to describe the Chinese Communist virus that originated in Wuhan, China.

The memo instructed federal agencies to ensure that the language used “does not exhibit or promote racism, xenophobia, and intolerance against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Biden’s actions actually echo the CCP’s claim that the use of the term “Chinese virus” or “Wuhan virus” promotes discrimination and violence against overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese.

The Communist regime concocted this narrative to try to divert attention from its cover-up of the early outbreak and the possibility that the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab.

“The president of the United States should not repeat the words of the Chinese Communist Party, especially when what the Chinese Communist Party says is wrong,” Zhang said. “So I think that’s bad.”

The chapter also condemned Biden for suspending Trump’s executive order for May 2020. That paves the way for grid operators and utilities to buy equipment from countries that pose a threat to U.S. national security, such as China.

On Jan. 20, Biden suspended Trump’s order for 90 days, while asking the energy secretary and the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget to “jointly consider whether to recommend issuing a replacement order.

“I can understand his desire to review Trump’s policies … but in doing so he should at least put in place protections,” Zhang said.

“The Chinese Communist Party has been prying into our critical infrastructure,” he said. “In the United States they can do …… what they did in India’s financial capital late last year.”

In February, a New York Times report said the Oct. 12, 2020, blackout in Mumbai, India, was part of a Chinese cyber campaign against India as the two countries became embroiled in a bitter border war.

At the time, local authorities said the outage was caused by a “technical problem,” but an Indian minister said in March that it could be the result of a deliberate network disruption, adding that the matter was being investigated.

Biden himself preferred a cooperative relationship with the Communist regime, but he was forced to take a tougher stance because of Beijing’s aggressive international behavior and U.S. public opinion against the regime, Zhang said.

What’s happening is that the Chinese Communist Party is behaving in a way that no one can really tolerate,” he said. It’s forcing him (Biden) to adopt a tougher policy.”

Zhang expressed concern about Biden’s personal treatment of the CCP and its party leader Xi Jinping.

“Biden has given a lot of gifts to the CCP, which is simply incomprehensible. He hasn’t asked for anything in return,” he said, “and I just don’t understand why he’s doing this.”

Zhang was particularly unhappy with “the loving way (Biden) met with Xi Jinping.”

“I don’t know why the Chinese Communist Party leaders are able to control Biden,” Zhang said.

Biden often brings up his long relationship with Xi when talking about the Chinese Communist regime. During Biden’s tenure as vice president, Xi was vice president of the Communist Party and was on par with Biden’s position at the time.

During that time, the two men met privately for more than 24 hours and traveled 17,000 miles, according to Biden.

In February, Biden said of Xi, “I know him well. We spent a lot of time together during my tenure as vice president.”

Extensive Chinese Communist infiltration of the United States

Zhang Jiadun drew attention to widespread efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate U.S. politics and society.

“The Chinese Communist Party is breaking down our society,” he said. “They’ve broken the FBI, they’ve broken local law enforcement and local governments.”

He cited the example of Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee who previously had ties to a Chinese Communist spy named Fang Fang (a.k.a. Christine Fang).

In a December 2020 report, Axios claimed that Fang had built an extensive network of contacts in the San Francisco Bay Area with up-and-coming politicians, including Swalwell.

The report said Swalwell severed ties with her after investigators gave him a “defensive briefing” and provided information about her to the FBI.

Zhang said Swalwell first hooked up with Fang when he was a Dublin, California, city councilman from 2010 to 2012.

“That means they may have just had their eye on Swalwell at the time, and maybe one day he may become valuable to them,” he said.

“It suggests that there was more than one Eric Swalwell. There could be dozens, there could be hundreds of Swalwells, which means there are dozens and hundreds of Christian parties.”

Chapter said it is time to start eliminating the influence of the Chinese Communist Party on American society. “They’ve infiltrated the government, they’ve infiltrated the media, academia, business, and so many other industries, and as long as it’s an institution, the Chinese Communist Party is trying to infiltrate it.”
