The Emperor and His Asset

A Damage Assessment on the Xi-Biden Meeting

WASHINGTON, D.C.— On Wednesday, President Biden legitimated a serial strategic arsonist with a meeting in San Francisco. Worse yet, as expected, he sought to reward Chinese “dictator” Xi Jinping – who apparently greenlighted invasions of Ukraine by Russia and Israel by Hamas – with a variety of new opportunities for intensified “engagement” with America.

These include fresh, empty promises from Xi concerning the CCP’s ongoing chemical warfare against America via fentanyl; resuscitated military-to-military communications that have actually proven harmful to us in the past; and consultations on artificial intelligence more likely to facilitate Beijing’s theft of our intellectual property than prevent AI’s lethal weaponization by the Communist Chinese.

What really matters, however, is the prospect of U.S. government encouragement of further, expanded American investment in Communist China.

Incredibly, what would amount to yet-another bail-out of Xi’s failing Chinese Communist Party comes as it prepares to ignite “tinder” the CCP has created here over decades of “unrestricted warfare” against us – notably by: hollowing out our industrial base; attacking us with a biological weapon; dividing us with cultural Marxist initiatives like racist “diversity”; and “capturing” elites supposed to protect us against such assaults. (These, among many other examples of such “pre-kinetic” assaults are the subject of over 120 previous webinars by the Committee on the Present Danger: China.)

Even now, Xi is weaponizing TikTok literally to inflame support for Hamas and smuggling in tens of thousands of military personnel to light his next fire across America on command.

All this serves as the background for the next Committee on the Present Danger: China (CPDC) webinar, “The Emperor and His Asset: A Damage Assessment on the Xi-Biden Meeting,” providing a post-mortem damage assessment of the Xi-Biden mini-summit on the margins of the Asia-Pacific Economic Council meeting following up on its pre-mortem on last week. It will take place today, Thursday, November 16, from 1-2:30 p.m. ET.

It will feature, among other insights, a heartening report that the funding mostly unwitting Americans are being induced by Wall Street to invest in CCP-controlled companies will no longer include past and present military and federal government personnel participating in the Federal Thrift Savings Plan. The Committee welcomes the decision the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB) took this week to drop as the sole offering for its International Fund an MSCI index-traded fund that included shares of Chinese/Hong Kong corporations in favor of one that prudently does not.
