The China Threat Is Worse Than You Can Imagine
Senator Tom Cotton has written a must-read book for all Americans. Titled Seven Things You Can’t Say About China, it is a stark warning, a wake-up call that China is already waging war against the United States and that we better recognize that and take action to save our nation. Written in a very direct, simple, and eminently understandable style, the book is chock full of facts and proof that China has been actively prosecuting a sub-rosa war against America and American citizens and that it is long overdue that we wake up to that reality and do something to defend ourselves.
The book covers seven critical topics that citizens must be made aware of and a challenge for all to act before it is too late for us and for those we care about.
- In chapter one, Senator Cotton describes China as an evil empire whose entire purpose is domination, conquest, retribution for past ill-treatment or conquest by other nations of China, and their decades long march towards worldwide conquest. In no uncertain terms he calls China what they are a “Communist Dictatorship” who uses ruthless brutality to conquer, subdue, steal, lie, and kill any who stand in the way of their quest for world domination. Specific examples such as the persecution of Christians, the murder and suppression of the Falun Gong, the genocide of the nation of Tibet and Uyghurs, and the oppression of Hong Kong are covered.
- In chapter two, Senator Cotton explains in stark terms that China has for decades been preparing for war with America. Beginning with the Korean war and Asian conflicts following, China has consistently maneuvered for its own advantage both killing Americans in the process and eventually undermining and taking advantage of their so-called allies like Vietnam and Cambodia. Most notable is the unprecedented building up of their military by 1000% in the past two decades. The result: Today China boasts by far the largest military in the world, and it is armed with the latest technology and weaponry based on decades of theft from the U.S. and others in the west. Their military now rivals ours as the best in the world.
- Senator Cotton explains in chapter three that China has also been conducting an economic world war as well for decades. They now lead the world in countless areas putting America and our allies to a distinct disadvantage as we have come to rely on China’s goods to sustain our nations. They have done this through diligence and hard work for sure but also by lying, stealing, and coercing nations around the world to bow to their bidding.
- In chapter four, Senator Cotton turns to how China has illegally and immorally invaded America in so many ways. They are in our schools, in our universities, in our labs, in our media, in Hollywood and everywhere else. They have infiltrated through bribes and money influencing schemes and through tactics of intimidation and threat. No area of our nation is unaffected by their evil designs, Wall Street, professional sports, corporate America and even government. Senator Cotton says, “The Chinese Communist Party has insinuated itself into almost every corner of American society. Chinese Communist influence has warped, censored, or defiled something important in your life—whether it’s your entertainment, news sources, alma mater, employer, bank, or retirement fund.” That statement ought to wake up the most inattentive American.
- Senator Cotton documents in chapter five how the Chinese have infiltrated our government at some of the highest levels. They have targeted our military and using money have managed to recruit many who would betray our nation and give away our secrets for a price. They infiltrate and steal secrets from our defense contractors. In the Washington Swamp they employ spies and use money to buy secrets and influence and entrée to places they should not be allowed to go. Many Washington lobbyists are on the payroll of China doing their bidding every single day. Many former politicians once they have left office end up working for China, in all innocence many say, but doing the bidding of China to undermine our nation and strengthen our enemy.
- Most worrisome of all, China is after our kids. Using the power of the internet and TikTok, China has captured the attention and the minds of millions of America’s children. TikTok is poison. If your kids are on TikTok, according to Senator Cotton, you should put down this article right now, get your kids’ phones out of their hands and delete TikTok. Whether it is ideology, sexual perversions, invitation to drugs or suicide, the ill intent of TikTok cannot be denied and it is ruining a generation of our young people and leading to deaths of too many. China is also inserting influences in our schools and those should be ferreted out and destroyed. The main culprit is Confucius Institutes at our universities and the High School equivalents that promote China and hide its evil nature. The most damaging and outrageous attack on the American young people is China’s assault via fentanyl. Thousands of American young people have been killed by fentanyl and China is at fault. China refuses to do anything to stem the tide of death and is doing this deliberately to rob the US of our youth.
- In Chapter seven Senator Cotton warns starkly that in this war, China could win. They are winning if America does not wake up to the fact that we are already at war and have been so on dozens of fronts for decades. Wake UP, America! His conclusion is that every American must know of the danger that China presents to America, our future, and our way of life. If we do not wake up, America is doomed. He concludes that it is up to each one of us, every American….to be educated on the threat and to do things that you can do to fight for America. Write your Congress members to insist on strong policy to defend us from China. Shun Chinese products as much as you practically can. Get your kids off the internet especially Chinese platforms like TikTok. Attend to the needs of your children better, especially regarding the threat from fentanyl. Avoid media that are shills for China or entertainment that does the same from Hollywood. The collective effort of 300+ million Americans can have a monumental impact on ensuring our safety and the defeat of China’s evil designs for world domination. It is up to you!
