Right from the Middle: US economy imperiled by China
The People’s Republic of China (PRC), which has waged an all-out, unlimited economic war against our Land of Liberty and against countless other nations over the past twenty years, is a threat to the future of America.
By William O. Lipinski
My fellow Americans, it’s time we all put our differences aside permanently or temporarily and unite against our number one rival.
The People’s Republic of China (PRC), which has waged an all-out, unlimited economic war against our Land of Liberty and against countless other nations over the past twenty years, is a threat to the future of America.
The purpose of this economic war is to make all nations of the world subservient to the People’s Republic of China and it’s totalitarian leaders.
I am very concerned that if China’s economic war doesn’t bring everyone into line with them, they are prepared to conduct military operations against those who oppose them.
America is a very divided nation at the present time. But if we are going to oppose the People’s Republic of China and save our way of life, the American way, we must be totally united as we were during World War II.
The ultra-left, the progressives, the left, the center, the conservatives the right, the ultra-right, and the die-hard followers of President Trump must become a very strong united American force to once again save mankind from totalitarian evil forces.
If we are going to be united in this effort, I believe it is necessary to layout the case against China.
I will now try to present the case against China and convince all Americans to unit and put aside their differences.
China controls 25 percent of all world trade; 70 percent of all nations trade more with China than with “us” — that’s spelled capitol U.S.
China produces half of the world’s steel, one-quarter of the world’s cars, 96 percent of the world’s shipping containers, 86 per cent of all radios, 40 percent of the world’s mobile phones, 54 percent of aluminum, 34 percent of merchant ships, 70 percent of the world’s television sets, and 70 percent of the world’s drones.
Are you convinced yet? Here are a few more facts: China controls 90 percent of the world’s computers, 54 percent of office machine parts, 90 percent of all broadcasting equipment.
Some of America’s largest corporations are producing in China, not only for the Chinese market but also for export to the American market and the world market. They include Boeing, Caterpillar, General Motors, Nike, Ford, Tesla, and Whirlpool.
The absence of these corporations in America has resulted in the elimination of an unbelievable number of American jobs.
Another great area of concern is the Chinese invasion of our universities. Believe it or not there are over 320,000 Chinese students attending our universities.
The PRC has directed all Chinese students studying abroad to adopt the attitude of studying abroad to serve China. Chinese students studying in America have been directed to set up cells on their campuses.
The purpose of these cells is to continually remind Chinese students of their obligation to the Communist Party of China. The Chinese government uses these students as agents of technological
espionage and theft.
I hope some of you begin to see the great challenge we face from the People’s Republic of China. I will have much more to say on this subject in future columns. And now the fact, that China and Russia are growing closer and closer, means the threat to democracy is greater than ever. If we are going to stop these two totalitarian nations from ruling the world, we must be united at home, and with democratic nations around the world
I would like to close with a statement that I will quote from Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and CEO Tesla.
“We’re at an interesting Point in history. The U.S. has been the world’s largest economy for as long as anyone can remember, but now if things continue the way they have been going we’re headed towards a situation where China’s going to probably have an economy 2 to 3 times the size of the U.S.
“That’s just a different world. One more thing remember our Land of Liberty has been the economic powerhouse of this planet in enabling us to be the greatest military power the world has ever seen. A force we have used for our good and the good of mankind, do we want to continue these or turn that leadership over to the Communist Peoples Republic of China.”
