#1 or the Chinese military

Whoah, where'd that come from?, sounding like a little emotional tizzy there.

#2 "What we absolutely won’t do is take personnel advice from a talk show host or the Chinese military,"

You sure about that hot shot?
China Ties Raise Questions for Biden’s Pick for Top Defense Post
Joe Biden's pick for a top Pentagon post works at a research center partnered with China's Peking University, a school that has long been eyed as a security risk by western intelligence.

Colin Kahl, whom Biden tapped for undersecretary of defense for policy, has served as a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University since the beginning of 2018. The institute oversees the Stanford Center at Peking University in northern Beijing, which opened in 2012.

Kahl is not the first Biden nominee whose employer has business entanglements in China. Biden's pick for secretary of state, Antony Blinken, cofounded the consulting firm WestExec, which helped U.S. universities raise money from China without running afoul of Pentagon grant requirements, the Washington Free Beacon reported last month. WestExec scrubbed the details of this work from its website over the summer.

Kahl, a longtime Biden national-security adviser and DJ, was closely involved in crafting the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal and reportedly played a key role in removing language identifying Jerusalem as Israel's capital from the 2012 Democratic National Convention platform.

"The closer you are to Biden world the more likely it is that you ended up in a ChiCom orbit," one GOP official told the Free Beacon.

Coit Blacker, a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute, said his employer agreed to open its Beijing outpost after receiving "an intriguing offer from the leadership" at Peking University in 2007, according to the Stanford Daily. "The way things work in China is nothing like this comes about accidentally," he added, suggesting that the proposal emerged from upper levels of the Chinese government.

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a national-security think tank founded by the Australian government, has warned of a "high risk" for groups partnering with Peking University, because of its collaborations with the Chinese military.

#7 I guess it kind of begs the questions, why is it personal advice instead of military advice, and just who do you take orders from?
