Memo to Biden and Wall Street:
Stop Underwriting the CCP Threat with Our Money

Blinken Visit to Beijing May Not Portend
More “Engagement,” But Conflagration Here

 

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Before Russia’s Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, he met with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping in Beijing. Before Israel was invaded, Iranian and Palestinian leaders did the same.

And after Venezuela’s Nicholas Maduro returned from meeting Xi in China’s capital, he announced that he would invade Guyana – an as-yet unfulfilled threat or, more to the point, an unexecuted order.

Could yet another invasion loom after Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s visit today with Xi in Beijing?

In fact, the Chinese Communist Party has already illegally inserted into this country multiple divisions-worth of unaccompanied, fighting-aged men, apparently personnel of the People’s Liberation Army.

If the CCP regards Blinken and Joe Biden, who have allowed this invasion, to be – like Xi’s aforementioned interlocutors – its “controlled assets,” our home front may soon be the locus of the next act of strategic arson by Xi Jinping.

That frightening prospect makes it all the more urgent to abandon the main purpose of Secretary Blinken’s ongoing trip – namely, the Biden administration’s and Wall Street’s efforts to redouble “engagement” with the Chinese Communist Party.

This week’s Committee on the Present Danger: China (CPDC) webinar, “Memo to Biden and Wall Street: Stop Underwriting the CCP Threat with Our Money,” from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. ET today will examine specifically the practice and implications of continuing to pour mostly unwitting American investors’ funds into CCP-owned or -controlled companies. In less fraught times, such behavior has been unconscionable. Today, it is not only enabling our mortal enemy’s seemingly imminent conflict with us and/or our Pacific allies. It could help ensure America’s crushing defeat at the hands of our mortal enemy: the Chinese Communists.
