Experts have been coming out of the woodwork to warn about the danger that China poses. Trump knew that China was a real threat to America and even sanctioned them for the Uighur Genocide that is still going on in the country. But since Biden took over there has not been any real action and it looks like we still plan to go to the Beijing Olympics as if everything is fine. But Top Pentagon Strategist James H. Baker, Director of the Defense Department’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA), claims we are underestimating China and the threat that they pose.
“The Pentagon’s top strategist believes communist China poses an existential threat to the U.S. after abandoning its old strategic policy of “hide and bide” — that is, to mask a burgeoning national military while waiting for the right time to unleash an aggressive foreign policy.
James H. Baker, who directs the Defense Department’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA), sounded the alarm during a private talk in July 2017 before a Japanese-U.S. audience.
On China, Mr. Baker said, “the U.S. is presently not well poised to capitalize on this trend, nor is it clear that U.S. elites across the political spectrum understand the danger that China poses as a competitor.”
“Comparative military advantage remains with the United States (and its allies), but is being systematically undermined by increased Chinese investment, focus, training and basing,” Mr. Baker wrote.”
Baker is by no means alone in this belief, Far East Expert Gordon Chang claimed China is looking to topple our government and Stratcom Admiral Charles Richard claimed “while the prospect of nuclear war was currently “low,” it is not “impossible, particularly in a crisis.” This is why we really needed Trump to win, We need a strong leader, instead of the senile old man, that can handle a serious situation like this. Whereas with Biden we are just lucky if he remembers the names of the people around him.
