China's Proxy Wars Are 'Encircling' America

What is the Communist Party of China up to?
Xi Jinping, who reveres Mao Zedong, is taking a page from his hero's "peasant revolution" playbook. Mao in 1949 prevailed over his enemy, Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government, by "encircling the cities from the countryside."
Ukraine, North Africa, and Israel, as Beijing sees it, are parts of the "countryside" today. So, what is the "city"?
The main enemy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the United States of America.
[T]he Party believes it must destroy the U.S. because of what America stands for. An insecure ruling organization in Beijing is worried about the inspirational impact of America's form of governance and values on the oppressed Chinese people. This means the United States will never have amicable relations with China as long as the Communist Party rules it.
Today... the Communist Party is waging proxy wars against America, such as Russia's campaign to annex Ukraine.... Splitting off Europe from America, in turn, would be another step in starving the U.S. Similarly, China is buying friends in, among other places, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean as a means of further isolating America.
President Joe Biden is either unwilling or unable to defend the world from malicious Chinese communism. The catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.... signaled that American policy was in collapse.
China's leader will continue to attack... especially as Biden pays what are essentially ransoms and thereby provides incentives for further disorder. The ransoms include the unfreezing of $6 billion in connection with a hostage swap with Iran... and the October 18th announcement of "humanitarian assistance" to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, apparently to free Americans held by Hamas.
Allowing China, Russia and friends to take over areas is a critical — and probably fatal — mistake. Victories, for one thing, create momentum and the appearance of inevitability. Xi Jinping promotes the notion of the inevitability of Chinese rule as he tries to intimidate others into submission. China's successes just embolden the regime to press attacks.
How, then, does the United States confront China's proxy-war strategy? Washington can turn the tables on Xi by taking down Chinese proxies, thereby isolating Beijing and creating the appearance of Chinese failure.
Communist China is already overstretched. The primary driver of its four-decade rise, the economy, is in distress. The property sector accounting for at least a quarter of gross domestic product, is crumbling. Money is fleeing the country. GDP is growing nowhere near the 5.2% claimed for the first three quarters of this year—if it is growing at all. Imports, perhaps the best indicator of domestic demand, have now fallen for 12 straight months on a year-to-year basis.
[A]fter three decades of particularly naïve, indulgent, feeble, and otherwise misguided policy, Washington has no good options. The worst option of all is to continue policies that have created this disastrous situation.
America and the free world are running out of time.
America... is about to lose everything.

China is setting fires.
Chinese President Xi Jinping green-lighted Russia's invasion of Ukraine and is supporting that war with lethal and other assistance. In North Africa, Beijing, in conjunction with Moscow, has been fueling insurgencies that resemble wars. In the Middle East, China is backing Hamas's monstrous attacks on Israel.
Hamas fighters, for instance, appear to have Chinese-made weapons, presumably supplied through Iran. Moreover, the U.S. Navy in 2021 and this year seized Chinese weapons in transit to another proxy of the Islamic Republic, the Houthi militia in Yemen.
"Tehran for some time has distributed Chinese weapons to its terrorist proxies throughout the region," Jonathan Bass of energy consultant InfraGlobal tells Gatestone. "The Middle East, thanks in no small measure to Beijing, is soaked with blood."
What is the Communist Party of China up to?
Sometimes the most solid piece of evidence lays right in front in full view. China & Russia barely used any if at all zero mRNA format of shots. They certainly had access thru China’s huge database and labs on SARS and coronavirus research. Did China pull a fast one over US / DOD agencies in foreseeing the response to the so called pandemic by US decision makers to leap onto the mRNA bandwagon. All of the Graphene Oxide used in the Moderna shots was contracted thru Chinese companies according to Karen Kingston’s thorough analysis. Did Fauci see a chance to make the leap into mRNA on a “ virus “ that wasn’t fully isolated or understood ? Thereby guaranteeing a shot that would produce the same dangerous spike protein as the virus / lab creation.
In a 2018 research paper a group of Chinese scientists published data that indicated the evidence of protein mis-folding which produced amyloid proteins in the mRNA environment. Those amyloid proteins produce amyloid plaques; the same ones that result in Alzheimer’s.
In my view the trap was set , Fauci and EcoHealth reacted as Chinese scientists and military expected. They must have been thrilled when the US military jabbed the entire armed forces with a substance that cause much devastation. China thru GAVI ( the China friendly Gates Foundation ) knew there was a big interest in “ pandemic forecasting and prevention “. All China had to do was provide the lab created virus and the dominos would fall in order.
China also had huge influence with the WEF. Klaus Schwab heaping plenty of praise on Xi and China. Schwab’s admired young futurist stated publicly that in a post catastrophic pandemic world China would be the only country suitable to take the reins of global power.
China also has huge influence at the UN especially the WHO which will soon handcuff NATO nations with the Pandemic Treaty and associated changes in International Health regulations.
Plus of course the Climate Change policies that don’t apply to China of course.
It seems that China has played the strategic policy game extremely well. Let enemy nations dig their own holes ...... then bury them when they are too deep to get out.
What? Has Gordon seen America’s 880 bases on a world map? Clearly not. Once he takes a look, it should become apparent who is encircling whom.
