by - Despite COVID having killed more than 1.13 million Americans as of mid-June 2023, and with a cost to the U.S. economy estimated to be $14 trillion — yes trillion — by the end of 2023, where is the united outrage among American citizens over the role of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the pandemic?
- In these [Chinese] camps, Uyghurs face indoctrination, sterilization, and forced labor…. The situation is so horrific that both the Trump Administration and the Biden Administration have labeled it a genocide.
- [T]he CCP has also been sending across America’s southern border groups of single men of military age, with the apparent aim of sabotaging American installations on the first day of a conflict if the U.S. tries to counter a Chinese offensive on Taiwan.
- With all of these revelations and threatening activities, there seems to be dismayingly little concern from the public as well as from the political and business leadership, despite a growing plurality that views China as an enemy to the United States rather than as a strategic “competitor.”
- Have Americans become so tired of the “outrage of the week”… that it… has confused the American people on the difference between real threats — such as the Chinese Navy overtaking the U.S. Navy while 37% of U.S. attack submarines are out of order — and lesser threats, such as pronouns?

- As some analysts have stated, Chinese President Xi Jinping and other CCP leaders “recall a world in which China was dominant and other states related to them as supplicants to a superior, as vassals that came to Beijing bearing tribute.” – Graham Allison, The Atlantic, May 31, 2017.
- Restoring China to that position of dominance is the long-term goal of Xi and the CCP. This is the real threat that should unite Americans to face the challenge head-on to maintain America’s leadership position in the world. This position is one where there will be respect for human rights, economic freedom and security, and where the U.S. serves as a beacon for representative government; individual freedoms; property rights; equal justice under the law (a bit askew at the present) and above all, the right to free speech.
