Gordon Chang: China Engaged in 'an Act of War' by Enflaming Antifa Riots in the U.S.
2020-12-08
[PJMedia] Gordon Chang, an American of Chinese ancestry who spent decades in China and has extensively written about the threat of China, warned that China meddled in the 2020 presidential election and engaged in "an act of war" against the United States by enflaming the antifa/Black Lives Matter riots in American cities over the summer.

"China certainly wanted to influence the outcome of the election," Chang said in an interview with American Thought Leaders, a show run by The Epoch Times. "So for instance, during the Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
 nomination process, they supported Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

#7  ^ Very astute. Much of what you say could've been, probably was, applied to the Soviet motors operand during the cold war. The big difference now is that China is part of the global capitalist economy.

So they have another vector along which to attack us. As Ilyich put it, "The capitalists will sell us the rope with which to hang themselves." Necessary modifier: our CRONY capitalist oligarchs.

#6  I think I can venture to say that we understand China's policy better than Chang. We negotiate with curveballs bastitches throw at us daily. Believe me, to their thinking; one doesn't have to sit and brainstorm over 'Let's see... how to screw America today'. Or anybody. They just buy out mercenary politicians and middling media, honeytrap or blackmail the occasional judge or bureaucrat, etcetera.

They let the globalist 'philanthropists' and criminally invested legislators and mobocrats sink their resources in their own civilization's destruction; using very legal and judicially unassailable means of plodding ahead in their own part of the world.

'American Thought Leaders' are perplexed as to how China manages to screw everyone without consequence... and come up with McCarthyesque explanations which brush the domestic issue away and look outward. This only helps the enemy.

The CCP kills its criminals and 'protesters' with no obligatory explanation to western liberal justice theories. The result is, we have ANTIFAs and BLMs, while they don't. No obstructionists, no mobs to commandeer governement or dictate policy, no weed addled man-bìtches in campuses to appease. That alone, my friends, is a big plus in today's game.

Simply put, it is not China's industriousness at f#cking others that allows for the appearance of it surging ahead while others flounder with their domestic troubles. It is the lack of balls in administrations that cannot deepsix their dissidents traitors rebels mobs protesters.

#5  Mail-in ballots in the tens of millions.
Voting machine companies ripe for purchase and exploitation.
Compliant media that won't even look at China Joe Biden.
Lame FBI / COINTEL, distracted by Russia! bullshit
Thousands of ChiCom sleepers already in place
Thousands of violent lefty goons invading the streets and causing mayhem every night.

And a bought and pard for US Establishment salivating at the chance to get rid of Trump.

Child's play, really.

#3  Imagine a cyber Pearl Harbor and the public was too clueless to notice they are about to take 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

#1  Chang noted that "there was a massive disinformation campaign conducted especially by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, which is official, and the Global Times

Yes, the Wuhan 'Wet Market' theme has been particularly effective.
