Secure Freedom Radio: With Gordon Chang
GORDON CHANG, Contributor, Daily Beast, Author, “The Coming Collapse of China,” “Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes the World” and “Losing South Korea,” Twitter: @Gordongchang
Part I:
- Chairman Xi Jinping is under the impression that China, or the “Middle Kingdom,” is the only sovereign state in the world
- Gordon Chang argues that Xi knew exactly what he was doing when he allowed for the coronavirus to spread across the world – The Chinese Communist Party understood five weeks in advance that the coronavirus was transmittable person-to-person
- Xi strong-armed countries into accepting flights/travelers from China right as Wuhan was up under lockdown
Part II:
- Evidence that China is heading towards becoming a totalitarian state, again – Social Credit System
- Elements of Chinese interference in the 2020 election run deep: Global Times, the Chinese foreign ministry, bot social media accounts
- Unconfirmed reports of Chinese protestors in the US coordinating with the central government in Beijing
Part III:
- The Chinese Communist Party used the Coronavirus to further its domination in Hong Kong and continues to suppress any and all forms of dissent within the once “semi-autonomous” region
- Taiwan is becoming more and more anti-China and has, in recent years, moved very clearly towards the side of the US, Japan and India
- China is building a port in the Bahamas, only 70 miles from West Palm Beach, Florida
Part IV:
- Chang asks why the US does not block Chinese apps, when in fact China blocks US apps?
- In order to counter a dubious actor like China, the next US administration must work to cut off all ties to the Chinese Communist regime
