Chinese Communists Inside The Gates

 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed a group of House conservatives last month and left them with a chilling warning. He said that in the fight to contain communist China, China is "inside the gates today." 

In other words, we're not trying to prevent communist China from infiltrating the country. They've already done that. 

Pompeo declared that Beijing's influence was already rampant on our college campuses, our high schools and even "in our PTA groups." He said this has been a 50-year effort by the communist Chinese to influence everything, including our city councils.  And I believe we must assume that Beijing is even trying to influence our churches. 

Pompeo said that as a former elected official, he knew what China was up to, but he never fully appreciated the scope and scale of the threat until he became CIA director. The challenge going forward, he added, is rolling back communist China's influence in all the areas they have already occupied.

The Trump Administration began that process and aggressively confronted communist China on multiple fronts. That vital work must continue, Pompeo said, if our children and grandchildren want to live in a free Western society and not one dominated by the totalitarian principles of the Chinese Communist Party.

Moreover, we were recently warned by top national security officials that Beijing's efforts to influence likely Biden appointees were "on steroids." And it wasn't just the people coming into the Biden Administration, "but those who are around those folks in the new administration."  In other words, communist China was attempting to influence their friends too.

And this is in addition to those we know who are obviously compromised. You may recall a Chinese professor recently bragged about Beijing's influence over Wall Street.

But it's not just Wall Street. We've seen how the NBA has become "woke" about domestic issues here in the United States. Yet it is completely silent about racism and slave labor in China. 

After the production of its recent film Mulan, Disney had the audacity to thank the communist state security agency of a province that is populated with slave labor camps. I can't recall the last time Disney issued a statement of thanks to American law enforcement, but it doesn't hesitate to praise oppressive Chinese state security. Think about that for a second.

And the fight against China's influence even extends into the Deep State. Sadly, some intelligence community analysts refuse to acknowledge China's election interference because they are still "resisting" Donald Trump. So much for putting country first.
