Joe Biden: China’s Favorite President



After another embarrassing international trip to the G20 summit and to Vietnam, Joe Biden will become the first American President not to memorialize the 2,977 victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack on our country with an event on the mainland. He is commemorating the day at a military base in Alaska, where he just canceled oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).

Biden claimed that he scrapped the leases to โ€œmeet the urgency of the climate crisis.โ€ In contrast, he is obviously intent on making the United States energy dependent on our enemies, such as the socialist dictatorship of Venezuela. Under President Donald Trump, the United States had become energy independent for the first time in decades.

Instead of continuing Trumpโ€™s pro-energy policies, Biden launched an unprecedented attack on the oil and gas industry. On his first day in office, he ended construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and placed a moratorium on new federal drilling leases.

The results have been disastrous, contributing to the huge increase in gasoline prices and the horror show known as โ€œBidenomics.โ€ Additionally, the President implemented โ€œgreen energyโ€ policies which increase costs for Americans and increase our dependence on China.

The solar panels, electric batteries and wind turbines embraced by the Biden administration are primarily manufactured in China, a country that practices genocide, destroys any semblance of freedom and basic human rights, and engages in slave labor.

Since becoming President, Biden has been subservient toward China. In a move to appease the communist rulers of China, Biden delayed human-rights sanctions and export controls which were initiated during the Trump administration.

Nothing has been done to hold them responsible for their role in the worldwide COVID pandemic, which killed over one million Americans. They continue to flood our country with fentanyl, a major contributor to over 100,000 drug overdose deaths per year.

China paid no price for sending a massive spy balloon over this country, which certainly gathered a tremendous amount of military intelligence. Instead of penalizing China, the Biden administration is constantly kowtowing to them. In fact, during a July visit to Beijing, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen bowed three times upon greeting Chinese Vice Premier, He Lifeng. Yellen was in China as part of the Biden administration โ€œapology tour.โ€ It was to ensure that the Chinese were placated and not upset that their spy balloon was shot down.

Of course, our government should have been furious that a spy balloon was sent to gather information from our sensitive military installations. Instead, Yellen, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Special Climate Envoy John Kerry have made visits to China to smooth relations.

Despite efforts to pacify China, their dictator, Xi Jinping, has provided support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and is working to destabilize our currency. Thus, it was noteworthy that Biden expressed such โ€œdisappointmentโ€ that Xi Jinping decided not to attend the G20 summit. At a news conference in Hanoi, Vietnam, Biden said that โ€œI donโ€™t want to contain China,โ€ and that he wanted the country to โ€œsucceed economically.โ€

It is sad that our President wants our foremost enemy to do so well. As China prospers, freedom diminishes in their country. If there are any doubts, just ask people in Tibet, Hong Kong, or Xinjiang Uyghur, where over two million individuals have been forcibly detained since 2017.

China is also exploiting a massive vulnerability in our country at our southern border. Under President Trump, our border was secure, and the wall was being completed. Unfortunately, Biden immediately stopped construction of the border wall, ended the commonsense policies of the Trump administration and the result has been catastrophic.

Among the millions of individuals from 160 nations who have illegally entered the United States during the Biden administration, there have been a distributing number of Chinese โ€œmilitary age men.โ€ According to U.S. Congressman Mark Green (R-TN), the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, there has been a โ€œmassive surge in Chinese nationalsโ€ crossing our southern border. This group includes โ€œmany of whom are military-age men, many with known ties to the PLA (Peopleโ€™s Liberation Army)โ€ and โ€œties to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).โ€

In the first seven months of this fiscal year, there were border encounters with 9,854 Chinese nationals, an astounding increase of more than 450% from the previous year.  In the view of Dr. Rebecca Green of IRIS Independent Research, the purpose of the Chinese infiltration across the southern border is to โ€œaugment their long-running espionage against the United States.โ€ She believes these โ€œoperationsโ€ are already โ€œpretty substantial.โ€

In response, the United States is adopting a conciliatory posture. In a CBS interview, Vice President Kamala Harris said the United States is not โ€œseeking conflictโ€ with China. Yet, China is undoubtedly โ€œseeking conflictโ€ with the United States through espionage, economic tactics, and enhancing their military strength.

The next target for China will be the free and democratic nation of Taiwan. China has long coveted Taiwan and has been increasing their military aggressiveness in recent months. Several weeks ago, Taiwan identified a massive Chinese military drill around their country, which included 45 aircraft and nine vessels. China labeled this operation โ€œjoint combat readiness.โ€

The purpose of these drills is to threaten Taiwan and send a message to the United States and the rest of the world. China knows it is dealing with a destabilized and compromised President and it is taking full advantage.

It is also aware that Biden has thoroughly destabilized our military. Recent reports indicate that so much military equipment has been sent to Ukraine that our munition levels are inadequate. We are also suffering from a massive decline in military recruitment.

Who can blame young recruits? Joe Biden is not a Commander-in-Chief any member of our military can be proud to serve. Due to his policies, our country is at grave risk. We must pray that we can survive as a nation until the next election, which cannot get here soon enough.
