A CPDC Webinar:
“Xi’s Ongoing Strategic Arson:
Will the C.C.P. Be Held Accountable?”

 1:00 – 2:15 p.m. ET, October 16, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C.— According to the Wall Street Journal, Communist China is continuing its longstanding practice of proliferating weapons of mass destruction and/or their delivery systems to the world’s most dangerous regimes. Over the years, the recipients have included North Korea, Pakistan and Iran.

The latest report discloses covert shipments of Chinese parts for Houthi terrorists’ manufacture of an Iranian precision-guided medium-range ballistic missile. Given the Houthis’ ongoing attacks on Saudi Arabia, its vessels in the Red Sea and past demonstrated willingness to attack Israel, this behavior fits the profile of Xi Jinping’s practice of what amounts to “strategic arson.”

President Trump is scheduled to meet the Chinese communist emperor once again next month. Notice must be served that there will be material costs to the Chinese Communist Party if it persists in what amounts to World War Xi against our interests and allies.

Today’s Committee on the Present Danger: China webinar from 1:00 – 2:15 p.m. ET will address the worldwide state of and costs associated with Xi’s “strategic arson” and how accountability can be achieved and deterrence maintained/restored.
