Arrogance of the PRC

Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, meeting with the People’s Republic of China’s Foreign Minister Wang and Vice Foreign Minister Xie Fang, got what the PRC thinks are marching orders for the United States.

Among the concerns Sherman raised were

…the crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, the anti-democratic crackdown in Hong Kong, provocative military actions in the Taiwan Strait.

That produced the “marching order” of particular interest here. Deputy Director of the Foreign Ministry Information Department of the People’s Republic of China, Zhao Lijian:

[The United States] must not infringe on China’s national sovereignty, let alone undermining China’s territorial integrity[.]

Hence the arrogance. Or outright dishonesty. The Republic of China, and the associated Taiwan Strait, have nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty. The PRC’s genocide in Xinjiang has nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty. The assault on Hong Kong’s semi-autonomy, the PRC’s cynical welching on its agreement regarding Hong Kong’s then-future and the city’s present and current future, have nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty.

And I add, since Sherman (or her boss or her boss’ boss) seems to have been too timid to raise the matters, occupied Tibet has nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty. The South and East China Seas, along with the islands in them, have nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty. The PRC’s border violations against Bhutan and India have nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty.

…of President Joe Biden’s (D) timidity.

Russia is testing hypersonic cruise missiles in the White Sea, and announcing that they’re nuclear capable. The Russian Embassy in the US now says

We would like to remind @PentagonPressSec that potential deployment of any [American flag] hypersonic [missile] in Europe would be extremely destabilizing. Their short flight time would leave [Russian flag] little to no decision time and raise the likelihood of inadvertent conflict.

“We’re arming in Europe with nuclear capable hypersonic cruise missiles. You stay out. Be too bad if something was to happen.”

Alongside that, the People’s Republic of China is threatening Japan with nuclear destruction if that nation dares object to the PRC’s conquering and occupation of the Republic of China, as the PRC is more and more openly plotting to do.

This comes as Biden repeatedly barks loudly from the safety of his White House porch while doing nothing to back his yapping.

Timidity breeds far more and more dangerous contempt than does familiarity.

…not only regarding the vast damage that will be done to our economy by President Joe Biden (D) and his deliberately anti-bipartisan Progressive-Democrat cronies with their soon to be unilaterally inflicted spend- and tax-o-rama bills.

Biden’s Progressive-Democrat Treasury Secretary is about to surrender American national sovereignty to an international consortium in the form of putting our Congress’ Constitutionally mandated taxing authority under the control of an international taxing agreement.

The Wall Street Journal worries about Congress’ careful silence on the matter and the paper’s editors are right.

The only saving grace, such as it is, to Yellen’s behavior and Congress’ complicit silence is that Yellen and her cronies will be able to enter into such disastrous tax agreement only via a Biden-executed Executive Agreement, and that sort of thing can be undone with a pen by the next President. The Yellen Tax Abrogation will not become a treaty so long as there are 34 Senators who care about American national sovereignty.

The destruction wreaked in the interim, though, will be broad and deep.

PRC Regulation of US-Listed PRC Companies

The Cyberspace Administration of China is moving to extend its regulation of PRC companies to include those listed on American exchanges. That’s all well and good; the US looks to regulate American companies that are listed on foreign exchanges.

However.

All companies domiciled or headquartered in the People’s Republic of China became, formally, arms of the PRC’s intelligence community under that nation’s 2017 intelligence law.

No PRC company should be allowed to list on an American exchange, and those currently listed should be delisted.

Beyond that, no PRC company should be allowed to acquire, or gain a stake of any size in, any American company, nor should any PRC company be allowed to partner in any way with any American company.

The risks to the safety of intellectual property, the technology risks, the national security risks are simply too great.

The PRC’s Plan for Conquering the RoC?

The People’s Republic of China has released the outline of its strategy for overrunning and conquering the Republic of China.

The Chinese state media released Beijing’s supposed plan of invading Taiwan….
The first step would be a sudden attack of Taiwanese military bases, followed by the second step of cruise-missile strikes on infrastructure. The third step was described as a bombardment of Taiwan by Chinese warships.

That willingness to destroy the RoC’s productivity, its economy, and that generalized bombing, which maximizes collateral damage and civilian casualties demonstrates the PRC’s lack of interest in gaining economic and technological advances, only in gaining territory and enslaving survivors.

This is what President Joe Biden’s (D) timidity globally and vis-à-vis the PRC particularly is producing. That weakness is potentiated by Biden’s emasculation of our own defense establishment, putting critical race nonsense, with its divisiveness and racism, ahead of combat and combat support strengthening.

At this point, fundamentally pacifist Japan is showing more courage, more willingness to fight to defend an ally than is the Biden administration. Japan’s State Minister of Defense Yasuhide Nakayama:

This mean[s] they are trying to surround all the Taiwan islands. … How do we solve this issue? One thing that we can do is we have to show deterrence towards China.

Amen, and pass the ammunition.
