US Underwriting of China’s Military IS a National Emergency

By Frank Gaffney | Secure Freedom Minute

Yesterday, Donald Trump issued what may prove to be the most important Executive Order of his presidency. He declared a national emergency arising from the investments mostly unwitting Americans are being induced to make in the Chinese Communist Party’s military-industrial complex.

The CCP uses hundreds of companies and their subsidiaries operating in the United States to supply it with weapons designed to kill us, surveillance-state systems used to oppress its own people and data collection technologies employed to steal sensitive personal and proprietary information the world over.

President Trump rightly regards American underwriting of such corporations as a threat to our homeland and national security.
