Xi’s Military Build-up Unmatched Since Hitler’s
Now You Tell Us?!

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In the run-up to Christmas, the Defense Department issued the 2024 edition of its congressionally mandated annual report on Chinese Military Power. This one had a particularly ominous theme: The build-up of China’s People’s Liberation Army is unmatched by any other since Nazi Germany’s in the 1930s.

We know how the Nazis’ unbridled war preparations ended, which is to say, extremely badly.

This revelation suggests we may be in for even worse at the hands of another megalomaniac, Chinese Communist emperor Xi Jinping. And its disclosure as the Biden administration is expected to go out of business smacks of a CYA operation.

Clearly, it did not just become evident that the CCP has put into place an immense industrial base to amass rapidly more military power than any other nation in over ninety years. Let alone that the fruits of that unprecedented investment are now manifesting in a truly global threat to freedom.

Indeed, Team Biden has not only long had access to such intelligence. It has, in fact, enabled the Chinese Communists’ investment in the People’s Liberation Army by, among other things, allowing the transfer of Wall Street-managed pension and other financial assets to prop up the CCP and underwrite its malevolence.

As a result, we now face the distinct possibility that Xi has not only amassed such dangerous capabilities but that he intends, like Hitler, to use them. His targets obviously include Taiwan, probably other nations in the Indo-Pacific and, if deemed necessary, the United States mainland, as well.

The next Committee on the Present Danger: Webinar entitled, Xi’s Military Build-up Unmatched Since Hitler’s: Now You Tell Us?!  will take place from 1-2:15 p.m. ET today. It will critically examine: what, in particular, Team Biden has known about the Chinese military build-up and when; the resulting strategic implications; and what must be done with the utmost urgency to contend with this great and growing threat.
