At last count, China owns thirteen big American food production facilities like Smithfield Foods for one. The Biden administration permitted, or did not interfere with China‘s scheme to buy American farmland and/or those thirteen or so food production companies. China has bought up to 830,000 acres of American farm land thus far but, we don’t really need to worry about that right now. They cannot the take the land with them!
Remember, a few years ago, when Japan was flush with prosperity? They bought all kinds of property in San Francisco and other centers of American commerce until their own economy tanked. In an attempt to avoid financial collapse, Japan started ditching their overseas properties with commercial property selling for pennies on the dollar. In other words, buildings and dirt are immovable and so long as the taxes are paid up, they’ll stay in America.
China is now facing its own near insoluble economic, social, political and military problems that is exposing its financial mis-management and revealing its military as a “Paper Tiger.” To China’s credit, their Belt and Road Iinitiative, connecting China to Europe via Iran, appears to be succeeding as the very first railroad freight trip between China and Iran arrived safely to Iran. That feat alone requires a rethinking of India’s sea defense position in the Malacca straits their intended choke point for hindering China’s sea borne commerce.
China’s Emperor Ji is in deep trouble. He does not like bad news so no one in his favor is willing to tell him the truth. They tell him what they think he wants to hear. Running for his third term, Ji has changed China’s government from a Central Committee back into a Maoist style cult of personality (his), like Obama tried, and that did not sit well with other party leaders including the military. Subsequently, défiance and corruption grew. For example, the General commanding China’s Strategic Rocket Force took advantage of the growing confusion and sold off the rocket fuel right out of the rocket’s tanks to criminal groups to sell as home heating fuel. He replaced the fuel with water and, well, in the end he chose poorly!
There are powerful CCP elements within China’s military (PLA) hierarchy, using pretexts and claims of treason and incompetence who have purged command Generals loyal to Ji from command positions, especially those combat commands facing Taiwan. They weren’t just removed but arrested and some, according to sources, have been executed. There is no joy in Mudville today. Case in point, The PLA’s most recent military exercise to intimidate the Taiwanese, was abruptly cancelled because Ji feared that an officer in the combat command structure might actually turn the exercise into a full-blown war for which the Peoples Liberation Army/Navy were not prepared to complete. Ji is under extreme pressure. His military command structure is not united; the military hardware he sold to African countries have proven to be junk and unsustainable in combat. Maintenance is impossible and spare parts are not even available. Worse, his military, not having seen combat, is tested. The North Koreans tried that by sending inexperienced soldiers to Russia as canon fodder against Ukraine. How’s that going for them? Russia now has a manpower supply problem. They don’t have many more.
Worse for Russia, China has long eyed the re-possession of Siberia but, Russia has it. Now, after four years of trying, Putin’s army has been incapable of taking little Ukraine militarily, losing in the process the greater part of his military hardware, manpower and now, even his air force, all but wiped out by Ukraine’s drone attack 1000 miles into deepest Russia, including targets in Siberia, on Army trucks. Emperor Ji saw that!
In China’s present condition, will they decide that perhaps Taiwan can wait while China seizes Siberia in Russia’s impotence? Maybe that’s where the third World War will really start? Should China try and succeed in taking Siberia, they will have the strategic control over those northern sea lanes that President Trump wants to prevent by taking Greenland. China’s other stealth offenses against America are coming under the preview of Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, who is cancelling the visas of the vast field of Chinese spies operating under the cover of being students. In the meantime, our media concerns itself with reporting extensively on the salacious trial doings of Pee Diddy, whoever he is, who is shagging who in Hollywood, and is Taylor Swift going to marry the Chiefs football player or not.
Our media, like our colleges and universities work diligently to protect the growing student populations of the Muslim Brotherhood Jihadists indoctrinating American students to be anti-Semites while ignoring the growing assaults by these pro-Palestine idiots and Muslim jihadists on Jewish Americans. Assaults and murders are now being conducted openly on American streets by Antifa member as well as jihadists and news reports are quickly dropped. Let a white Christian defend himself from physical assault and suddenly the headlines scream hatred, racism and Islamophobia. Let a transgender be attacked and the Leftist media world falls apart as they report on it.
