"Thanks for pointing that out. With China everything is pretextual. Her commonsensical comment about Taiwan was just an excuse to attack her. The dietmember who asked her the question has family business in China and is a PRC proxy. She has not backed down. NBC News needs to do its homework. She didnt start a spat with China. Hello She didnt start a spat with China. Hello"

"Japan is a threat to nobody. Indeed for the last [--] years it's been the kind of country China ought to be -- and many Chinese wish it was. Wang Yi's performances remind one of Saddam Hussien's spokesman 'Baghdad Bob.' This line about Japan having lingering ambitions for invasion and colonialism of Taiwan is batty. I dont know what is worse - that the Chinese representative actually believes it or that he knows its rubbish but says it anyway. https://t.co/iSKD9GILxO This line about Japan having lingering ambitions for invasion and colonialism of Taiwan is batty.

"The editor of China's Global Times referred to Australia as 'the gum stuck on the sole of China's shoes.' Wonder what he (and Beijing) would say about Starmer and the UK One has a pretty good idea. Ouch. Ouch"

"This is long overdue. Corruption is the 'grease' that makes PRC subversion so effective. Far more such exposure of corruption is needed - and should include the 'enablers' -- financial institutions (and specific bankers) real estate agents lawyers accountants et. al. Corruption is a key tool of the CCPs influence operations. The @StateDept has designated Palau Senate President Hokkons Baules for taking bribes from China-affiliated persons. It also designated former Marshall Islands mayor Anderson Jibas for stealing U.S. funds meant for Corruption is a key tool of the CCPs influence"

"Maybe a first step is to recognize that China sees itself as already at war with the US (and the West) and is clear about it's objectives. Hard to 'split the difference' in such a case and reach an accommodation or even a 'decent peace' as the US National Sec Strategy says. Best to gird one's loins. @clashreport This is just not acceptable. From the Country enabling Russia to wage war systematically deploying military coercion across the China Seas and the strait of Taiwan the real question is what to do with a country that has already gone down the path of use of force This is just not"

"The General is by and large correct though over-focus on Asia/Pacific and you'll find problems popping up elsewhere. One recalls the 2000's when it was 'counter-insurgency all the time'. We wasted a lot of time thinking 'big' wars would never happen again. Need to hurry. 🎯All China All the Time Gen. David Petraeus nails the biggest threat to U.S. security.
