The other day, Donald Trump backed away from the One China Policy. In a call with President of China Xi Jinping, he agreed to abide by the rule that no country can have any diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Now, some countries do, but ensuring the United States never does is perhaps the most important part of China’s foreign policy.
Trump received a call from the leader of Taiwan to express her congratulations on his win. In response, China gave Trump the silent treatment, ya know, like a five-year-old would do. Only a few weeks into his presidency, Trump couldn’t handle it anymore and backed off. How he was threatened during this silent treatment is a mystery. Maybe he just doesn’t like when he’s ignored, even by the people he says he doesn’t want to talk to. Definitely a mystery.
Now, you might say that Trump should have a good relationship with China, that we should ignore the rights of Taiwan and other countries that are separate from China despite China’s delusions. You might say that our diplomatic relations with any country should be dictated by China. As such, you might say we should let China control everything we do. I mean, they don’t have a democracy, and a democracy elected Donald Trump. So, ergo, China must have a more supreme governing model that does the United States. You may also be either A) a Chinese sympathizer if not more connected or B) braindead.
The Chinese government can count this as a victory. Other countries considering ignoring Taiwan’s wishes have now been given permission to do so by Trump’s actions. The leader of the most powerful nation in the world promised to have good relations with someone, doesn’t matter whom, and China got him to change his mind. Granted, I’m sure he just did that for show, but China is watching. Therefore, he can’t go back on what he said. Therefore, anything he does that looks like he’s going back on the agreement to the Policy is going to receive whatever China can do to punish him, and they’ll do it. They punish people around the world for disobedience, using economic boycotts and cancellation of business dealings in response. Their most popular request to let their worldwide subjugation continue without saying a word. As long as you don’t tell anyone what they are doing, you’re usually fine, and that’s what Trump is doing by capitulating to this Policy. He’s also going back on the one thing I liked about him.
Not much is going to happen because Trump agreed to the One China Policy. That’s just a continuation of the same obedience to the CCP that many past presidents have chosen to commit. It’s horrendous. This allows China to continue growing its worldwide campaign of propaganda, putting their operatives in our kindergarten classrooms to teach pro-Mao education, their protesters at our speeches to denounce anything anti-China or not overtly pro-China, and their hackers in our computers and our fighter jet navigation systems. Yet again, the President of the United States has lost to the CCP.
It’s such a shame that the one person who was so against politics and so interested in doing completely disastrous things could do the one disastrous thing that would have caused so many problems but eventually so many great things to happen. We need to disentangle ourselves from the Chinese regime. We’re slaves to them. They have all the jobs and all the money, and now they want to come here and invest that money here, hiring their own people, “importing,” as they say, their own workers from China to replace Americans. They’ll work on critical infrastructure, installing any necessary monitoring devices so that they can threaten to crumble that infrastructure if we’re ever disobedient. They’ll rebuild our roads and bridges and airports, they’ll try to get their hands on a 5G network in this country, they’ll try to own our oil or at least help Russian own our oil, and they’ll influence our Congress in any way they legally can and, via hacking, any way they illegally can.
The babyboomers got us into this mess, and we’re damned if we stay in it and damned if we try to get out of it. It’s going to hurt, but it’ll hurt less if we get out now rather than later and less if we got out a decade ago instead of still being in this mess. Now we’re being hacked all the time and China won’t let us say anything about it without the risk of being hacked again. The enemy has enough money to forge a vast network across many countries working together to stop us from providing freedom. They hate freedom. They want to abuse people. That’s their Sunday funday. That’s what they do for fun. That’s how they relax after a hard day at work. Their most fun activity is abusing non-Han Chinese people, and China has even enlisted none-the-wiser non-Hans to weaken the United States enough so that China can destroy us and then move on to firing those non-Hans whence they’re no longer needed and then subjugate them, as well, creating vassal states everywhere.
What we need to do is get out. We need to leave China. We need to take all the jobs out of China. We need to move to Vietnam, India, and anywhere else we can. We need to support the economies of countries that align with us instead of continuing to think we can change the minds of a government that will lie for a buck and spend that money on guns so they can have the arms to lie for two bucks, and then three bucks, and so on.
What we can do as citizens to ensure that we don’t elect anyone that is pro-Chinese is to start blocking China ourselves. As small businesses, we need to purchase products from Southeast Asian countries, not China. We need to quite literally send money to these countries in a manner that ensures that send products back to the United States that we’ve designed for them to assemble. That’s what China does to take away America’s influence around the world. Therefore, we need to start doing the exact thing we do with China but with other countries.
In short, we screwed up globalization. It’s a beautiful idea, but it’s really hard to do anything right on the first try, and this was a really big thing. So, we shouldn’t feel ashamed that we screwed it up. We send we’ll outsource all our jobs, and the CCP took all of them. As a result, we’re globalized, we’re bilateralized, and that’s not building any political capital around the world in countries outside the U.S. and China.
So many allies and we chose China instead. Astonishing. We focused on cost and now it’s costing us. I’m sure we all know a babyboomer we could have predicted would do some stupid frugal thing like that in a reckless abandon to save money while the superior generation they tried to raise to do the same had to sit on its hands and watch them make so many obvious mistakes. We all know a babyboomer that would do that. We all know one that has done that. We all watch as they continue doing that. Selling us out all the time and saying we’re the stupid ones.
So, your roadmap out of our problems is simple. Just leave China. That’ll fix it all. China’ll get pissed, of course, and they might even try to fight back, but they’ll hurt us anyway if we don’t leave. When they finally use their military to get their jobs back. the whole world will fight against them, and they’ll never be able to stop us all.
