China’s goal is to overtake the US as the world’s superpower and dominate the world economy. And more
Chang’s comments follow a recent Pentagon report suggesting that China is planning to double its stockpile of nuclear warheads in this decade — including those designed for ballistic missiles and that can reach the U.S. The report adds a time clock to Trump’s decision, Chang said.
“[President] Xi Jinping has been talking increasingly about this notion that China has a mandate of heaven to rule the world,” Chang explained. “They [believe that they] not only have the right to do it, they have the obligation to do it.
He’s become very specific about this in public and so have his officials, which means that they are trying to change the international system, not to compete within it,” Chang said.
Chang has been screaming about the threat from China for a long time.
It’s so grave that former Google CEO Eric Schmidt issued a warning
A group of tech and policy leaders including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is warning that China is “surging to overtake the United States in critical areas.”
The group called the China Strategy Group published a memo obtained by Axios that proposes a number of “urgent policy solutions” that “position the United States to out-compete China” without inciting more tension or conflict.
“America’s technological leadership is fundamental to its security, prosperity, and democratic way of life,” the group wrote in their introduction. “But this vital advantage is now at risk, with China surging to overtake the United States in critical areas.”
One of the vehicles used in China’s drive to stomp the US is the theft of Intellectual Property
There are no exact statistics on trade secret theft ranked by nation, but China remains the world’s principal IP infringer across all types of IP theft, according to a spokesman for the IP Commission, which estimates up $600 billion annually in cost to the U.S. economy from these actions. The IP commission noted that Chinese citizens are prosecuted most frequently in U.S. courts for trade secret theft.
1 in 5 corporations claim that China has stolen IP from them.
Possibly the worst of it is the theft of military secrets. This is the new Chinese stealth fighter:
If it looks familiar, it should
Yes, it’s a ripoff of the US F 35. Ever wonder how that happened? This is how.
China obtained more than 50 terabytes of data from U.S. defense and government networks, notably the Joint Strike Fighter’s stealth radar and engine secrets, through cyber espionage, according to newly disclosed National Security Agency documents.
A NSA briefing slide labeled “Top Secret” and headlined “Chinese Exfiltrate Sensitive Military Data,” states that the Chinese have stolen a massive amount of data from U.S. government and private contractors.
The document was made public by the German magazine Der Spiegel in a two articles detailing how NSA in the mid-2000s was capable of conducting global cyber intelligence-gathering by tapping into the networks of foreign intelligence services and stealing the data they were collecting from others.
The unique capability of spying on the spies was described in a series of documents that were stolen in 2013 by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, currently a fugitive in Russia.
More about that here.
Now China has a new long range stealth bomber. That shape look familiar?
It ought to
The H-20’s specifications include a range of 8,000 kilometers without a refueling session and a weapons bay that can carry more than 10 tons of munitions, including thermonuclear weapons.
Down the line, the H-20 should expand its operational range to 12,000 kilometers and hoist 20 tons of payload, aviation analyst Fu Qianshao said in comments to the Global Times in April.
Last November, Asia Times reported that Beijing would like for the H-20 to be able to fly up and down the US’ West Coast and be able to deliver conventional or nuclear strikes on US targets.
Some believe China can incapacitate America right now
Last week, the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security issued a scary report on China’s ability to conduct an Electromagnetic Pulse attack on the United States. The key takeaway, according to Dr. Peter Pry, executive director of the task force, is that China now has super-EMP weapons, knows how to protect itself against an EMP attack, and has developed protocols to conduct a first-strike attack, even as they deny they would ever do so.
According to the Center for Strategic International Studies, China has the most active ballistic missile development program in the world, so this is doubly troubling. China used stolen U.S. technology to develop at least three types of high-tech weapons to attack the electric grid and key technologies that could cause a surprise “Pearl Harbor” attack that could produce a deadly blackout to the entire country.
Dr. Pry outlines how China has built a network of satellites, high-speed missiles, and super-electromagnetic pulse weapons that could melt down our electric grid, fry critical communications, and even takeout the ability of our aircraft carrier groups to respond.
This is atrocious, but Joe Biden has a plan to deal with this- badly. It’s called “Strategic Patience”
President Biden has been part of the problem in Washington for a half-century. Yet, apparently, he just discovered China.
“We want to approach this with some strategic patience,” White House flak Jen Psaki cautiously explained this week when asked about the president’s approach to the world’s most populous country whose communist government is hellbent on destroying America.
“Strategic patience” is diplo-speak for “do nothing,” “ignore problem” and “pretend does not exist and hope goes away.”
“Strategic patience” is usually followed by “need to learn to speak Chinese!”
In the White House press briefing room, Ms. Psaki went on to say that Mr. Biden needs to “conduct reviews internally, through our interagency …” she trailed off. Then she apologized for not drinking enough coffee that might have helped her more enthusiastically convey Mr. Biden’s sleepy strategy of “strategic patience.”
As Hurt observes, Biden is the problem
And here is the problem. While Mr. Biden and Ms. Psaki and America enter this new period of “strategic” hibernation, China is on the march.
This is nothing new. They have been on the march pretty much the entire time Mr. Biden has been part of the problem in Washington.
Even more amazing is that Mr. Biden wasn’t just part of the problem when it came to foreign policy. He was THE WHOLE problem.
Much of Mr. Biden’s career, he was heralded as the greatest foreign policy expert Washington could come up with. Every war, every global failure and every foreign policy disaster of the past 50 years has Mr. Biden’s fingerprints somewhere on it.
This looming disaster is far worse than any of his others. I hope the Biden family financial score was worth it.
Gānbēi!
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Is a Act of Treason means for having Biden Impeached The Democrats had better respond or face getting voted out next year
The idiot Biden’s foreign policy has all the earmarks of Obama’s “punish America” agenda. NOTHING he does benefits this country or its taxpayers.
@Deplorable Me: You think this is why they surrounded themselves with a fence, then made it taller and added razor wire?
Washington DC now looks more like a concentration camp than a capitol.
@kitt: They never know when BLM/ANTIFA will be back. They haven’t given them all their concessions so maybe they hope the fences and troops will discourage them from more of their violence which could prove embarrassing and difficult to deny exists or blame on “white supremacists”.
@Deplorable Me: The whitehouse is actively working with tech oligarchs to squash what they call hate speech.
Democrats actively working on expelling 100 in congress they just all happen to be Republicans, they are starting with Rep Greene, Mitch called her a cancer, I guess all her voters who put her there are as well?
Censure isnt enough, They dont think we deserve representation only taxation.
@kitt: “Hate speech” = speech Democrats hate.
Greene is a cancer but AOC is the future. I think I see the problem.
@Deplorable Me: In a Supreme Court case on the issue, Matal v. Tam (2017), the justices unanimously reaffirmed that there is effectively no ” hate speech ” exception to the free speech rights protected by the First Amendment and that the U.S. government may not discriminate against speech
Not that they ever let the constitution stand in the way.
@kitt: Well, that’s something else the Democrat’s hate.
China wants it so bad they installed an unelected dictator into the WH.
Both Dems and Reps both fear the near party of Trump: aka, the sensible majority of Americans who don’t Chinese-bought proxies in our elected positions.
@Nathan Blue:
Republicans are so gullible and believe the 1st nonsense tossed their way.
They even believe that Jewish laser beams were shot from space to start forest fires. Truth is, the electromagnetism of the beams is what switched Trump votes to Biden votes.
The forest fire side effect was just a bonus.

China has told Biden how they want him to behave and he will undoubtedly be fully compliant. His investments are at stake.
No wonder the Left needs to erase History.
There was a time, not too long ago, when liberals HATED red China.
It was because the commies were committing genocide against the Tibetans.
Lefties, led by actors like Richard Gere, spread the word that commies in red China had begun depopulating Tibet, forcing the males into slave (work) camps, the women into marriages with childless Chinese men, the children into re-education camps and adoptions into commie Chinese homes.
Sound familiar?
It should.
It is exactly the same thing the commie Chinese gov’t is doing to the Muslim chinese in northwestern China.
Biden and globalists in all parties here and around the world don’t care about slave wages, just cheap goods.
They skim off the top.
They enrich themselves off of “managing the decline.”
Only thing is, this decline isn’t going to be temporary.
Commie Chinese go after their most ardent enablors and purge them.
By killing them.
Biden and those enablors are banking on escaping that fate, stupidly.
It used to be said that China did not export communism. Well, that was because they couldn’t; they didn’t have the means. Now that they have embraced a limited amount of capitalism to counteract the destructiveness of socialism and have plenty of useful idiots like Biden to keep fueling their growth, they can now afford to spread their influence and oppression aggressively.
@Ronald J. Ward:
I’m not a Republican, so I don’t know who you are talking to. I voted for both Dems and Republicans in this past election, and proudly for Donald Trump as he was clearly the best choice for the things I value: a free market, equal, democratically decided republic that supported blacks rather than keeping them weak and exploited in exchange for their vote….like Biden and other Democrats do.
Like most banana Republic coups, there’s always a “legal” election. The opposition is now “looney” to suggest the election was rigged, especially after looking at video evidence that is explained away by a state or party-run media.
Textbook.
There are still Germans who say there is “no evidence” of the holocaust. You’re just like them.
And I really believe that people like you know there was fraud to rig the election for Biden, but you just don’t care. For you, it was necessary….like the atrocities carried out by Nazis.
Epstein didn’t kill himself, and Biden isn’t the President.
Biden is our first Dictator, so like Obama, he’s definitely a “First*”
All you and yours have done is foment civil war, and abetted our enemies. Beta-cucks always do.
@Nathan Blue:
And the cat ran away with the spoon.
@Ronald J. Ward: So, how do you feel about Biden ruling entirely by edict and not trying to get ANYTHING established in the rule of law? Sound authoritarian or dictatorial to you? A bit?
@Ronald J. Ward:
Hehe. Can’t argue anything else. You support Marxism, and all the poverty and death that comes with it.
Hope you start to think harder, if that Trump Derangement that they fed you ever actually fades.
Only unaccomplished people worry so much about winners.
“What am I signing?”
Trump is a boss. I can see why the beta-cucks of the nation are so intimidated, and feel free to simply cheat, because they can’t win on the merits of their experiences, lives, or principles alone.
The majority of Americans reject both Dems and Reps. You’re going to learn that the hard way, it seems.
Apparently no one has explained American Exceptionalism to them.
Refer to the interactive map.
@Greg: I’ll give you sec to go learn about what “American Exceptionalism” actually means before embarrassing you..by showing how you obviously come from one of those”‘deep purple” countries.
greg < 60
And I always knew you were a CCP troll…but after this? There is no doubt.
Ask all those genius Chinese to start inventing their own tech instead of stealing it, to keep their viruses to themselves, and to stop making citizens cook with "gutter oil".
China is a shit-hole and needs to be liberated of their Marxist dictatorship.
@Greg:
No one’s explained it to most Democrats, either. They seem happy to simply surrender to a oppressive, despotic regime. You seem pretty happy to give up your freedoms and prosperity simply because some money-grubbing elitists tell you to.
@Deplorable Me: The WH press idiot has now used circle back 71 times, they lost trak of ummmm ahhh and other mindless gutteral noises.
@Nathan Blue, #19:
Your information about China’s capacity for technological innovation might be a few years behind the curve. China powered up an experimental fusion reactor this past December. They’ve already rolled out 5th generation technology in their 50 largest cities. China has had high-speed trains in service since 2008 that routinely run at 120-160 mph. They’re working on 370 mph maglev passenger train technology.
They’re moving fast for a developing industrial nation that got a late start. There’s danger in presuming superiority. We tend to do that a lot.
@Ronald J. Ward: Look into history what happened to Nazi collaborators after France was liberated.
Best think this out.
Any doubt that Comrade Greggie is just another CCP propagandist here at FA to propagandize for his beloved China?
Maybe that explains why he would never answer me when I ask him what side he fought for in Viet Nam.
That’s funny. I recall having pointed out that we were being distracted from the growing power and influence of China many times over the past few years. I think the last occasion might have been during Trump’s absurdly pointless military posturing against Iran in the Persian Gulf.
@Greg:
BULLSHIT!
And this has nothing to do with Trump. It has everything to do with Beijing Biden and his corrupt crackhead son who are both on the China dole.
@retire05, #20:
You don’t remember this comment?
@Greg:
Well, rest easy, Comrade Greggie. Beijing Biden will put us into another endless war in the Middle East. It will distract the lame stream press from his Chinese ass kissing.
What do you do? Book mark all your comments so you can report them back to the CCP?
Do you not know how to use Google Advanced Search?
@Greg: For 4 years you pushed fear of Russia and Putin your lies are way too dumb we remember.
Pulitzer has gone silent for a few days guess he is going to AZ or GA to forensically check those ballots. With the others to take a look see at the machines.
Ever wonder what would happen if they piss off Elon Musk? They think they can direct him to hire foreign spies?
Elon can afford this The latest prototype of SpaceX ‘s next-generation Starship rocket launched successfully on Tuesday but exploded on impact during an attempted landing. China gets nothing.
He should buy Robinhood.
He should make thousands of vote tabulators and donate them to swing states.
Lies? I think not. I never have trusted Vladimir Putin. He has people poisoned, you know, and then thrown into prison for leaving Russia to be medically treated for their poisoning. I suppose I dislike him less than I do Mohammed bin Salman.
I don’t think Joe Biden is an admirer of either of these characters. Nor of Xi Jinping. The Chinese government is not especially happy with Joe Biden.
@Greg: Here they hang themselves, commit suicide by shotgun in the back of the head or get put in one of Andrew Cuomos nursing homes. Yes Biden loves Xi his son still has an investment firm with them, his cut should be pretty good.
@kitt: She was also caught giving secret signals to white supremacists to attack government installations and representatives with the formally-known-as “OK” sign. Where is the outrage? Where is the doxxing? Where is the phony righteous indignation?
@Greg:
Everything they develop they steal. Same with the old Soviet Union. They don’t have the ability to catch up or exceed western development because they concentrate on indoctrination and thought control instead of innovation. Too bad that is the very direction the left is dragging our education system.
#27 Wow. Harsh. Using a soft reference to Russia or China in your ongoing criticism of Trump (who, by the way, did NOT engage us in any new conflicts). Harsh! By the way, the idiot moron Biden has dragged us right back into Syria, where we have NO BUSINESS or interests being. Killing jobs AND putting soldiers needlessly at risk! What a guy! Are we sure we can spare the troops from the Washington DC garrison?
Well, no one says you have to admire your business partners. There is no question he is destroying our strategically and national security vital energy industry to allow them to grow stronger. Biden is either a traitor or profoundly stupid. Why don’t you make your case for which one it is?
@retire05:
Consider that all he receives in the way of information comes from communist media networks that are apologists and promoters for socialism.
@Greg:
Sounds like a Clinton.
And now an usurping pollical party wants to lock up the opposition here in the US?
Democrats and Putin are one and same in their lawless, corrupt practices.
Speaking from some personal knowledge, Zhang?@Greg:
No, my knowledge of China enslaving ethic/religious minorities to work, die, and have their organs harvested is current, Zhang.
China has ZERO ability to innovate or invent things on their own. Their auto industry is a joke, and in a Communistic country where all aims of all citizens must be made for the good of the state, creative thought does not flourish.
You may want to update your knowledge on China and not parrot the CCP’s bullshit talking points.
China is a shithole who gave the world Covid-19, and is not regarded as a modern, serious player on the world stage. They’ve been the cheap labor mule for the West, and that’s it.
Trump stopped their IP theft and bad trade deals. Biden will open all this back up, since he’s been paid to do so.
Good luck with that world-power dream of yours, Zhang. It’s going to cost you much more than you imagine, the CCP won’t survive the battle.
@Nathan Blue, #34:
Then why is China rapidly ascending as one of the primary cultural, economic, and geopolitical powers?
Damn, this kid is stealin’ our culture!
Her hands are even tinier than Trump’s. It’s fortunate that she has turned them to playing the piano rather than picking pockets.
@Greg:
Theft, spies and a full power of the government to finance the entire scheme.
All on US dollars pumped into it by Walmart and Amazon and the dollar store. The kung flu is the only long lasting product China ever created.
Your total ignorance shines brightly in the question.
List of Chinese Inventions
@Greg: Please link to a reliable source. I know gunpowder, the abacus,silk and the China virus.
@kitt: And brainwashing.
@kitt, #38:
The article provides links to sources for every listed item.
@Greg:
Are you serious? You can’t be serious.
Tell me what the CCP programmed you to believe and then I’ll set you straight, Zhang. The “Chinese Century” is going to have a lot of blast craters in it, thanks in part to a West that traded principles for cheap labor.
I think it..Freudian…that you posted something with a kid. Please show me a few vids of the kids working in the factories. And while you’re at it, show me some Uyghurs in those concentration camps.
SHOW ME THE UYGHURS, YOU STONE-AGE TECH STEALING HACK.
And make sure wikipedia adds that latest list of Chinese inventions (given the fact it’s been a few Centuries since they contributed anything to the world):
COVID-19
China is a totalitarian shithole bereft of morals and ethics, and is not remotely advanced enough to join civilized nations on the world stage.
It’s a nation of peasants ruled by monsters.
At what point can we, in the spirit of the new regime in America, flag greg as a Chinese agent and have him banned from the site?
As much as I’ve loved watching everyone complain about how China ate our lunch over the last 30 years — while they did nothing because people were getting paid — can we finally rinse this site of Chinese propaganda?
The kinds of absurd logic that he brings is exactly how marxist regimes work. Trump could cure cancer and he’d say China cured cancer a 100 years ago.
We have the best government China can buy.
Have the Chinese now replaced Muslims as the right’s official boogeyman? I must have somehow missed the announcement.
You’ll be pleased to know that a widely known leftist website, Democracy Now!, shares your concerns:
Mass Rapes. Sweeping Surveillance. Forced Labor. Exposing China’s Crackdown on Uyghur Muslims
Of course, we have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world—much higher than China’s. We also have a history of racially based slavery, where black females were treated as sexual property, and genocide of our indigenous native population.
The world is complicated. Everything is a work in progress.
@Greg:
Thanks for reminding us all which party is the party of racism, Comrade Greggie.
@Greg:
Muslims execute most of the terrorist attacks. China is trying to overtake the US and take over the world (or do you disagree?) but left wing political terrorists (aka BLM/ANTIFA), carrying out the Democrats’ bidding (but sometimes ad libbing some violence) is but another serious threat the left makes apologies for.
Wrong. China doesn’t count their “reeducation camps” and political prisoners.
DEMOCRATS have a history of racial slavery.
@retire05:
That history is also complicated, isn’t it? Memes are so much easier and useful. No thought is necessary.
@Greg:
It’s not that complicated.
Democrats went to war to keep the right to enslave humans. Republicans were created to abolish that slavery.
For those like you, history is inconvenient..
@retire05, #48:
You’re kind of glossing over the mid-60’s polarity flip that occurred when the Democratic Party embraced Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, and the South suddenly turned Republican, aren’t you?
At this point you usually make some evasive remark and exit stage left, tap dancing around an inconvenient fact.
@Greg: #40 Wikileaks is about as reliable as Snopes and Politifact. About as filled with facts like that Guy Levine is really a woman bet you could get a date with him.
Just remember the old Temptations song and
Treat him like a lady
