Tucker: America is being sold to China

First of all, tonight the United States faces serious long-term problems, as we have told you for years on the show, thanks to outsourcing, this country no longer has the same pool of stable, middle-class manufacturing jobs that we had thirty years ago in coastal cities. Housing has become astronomically expensive, prices are rising much faster than wage growth, and, most tragically, an opioid epidemic kills tens of thousands of Americans each year. One of the reasons for this is a synthetic opioid called fentanyl that was smuggled from abroad. Now these may seem like unrelated problems but they are not a single issue that unites them a systematic decision by many of our country's most powerful leaders to sell the United States to China those jobs that were outsourced went to China those rising home prices all cash Chinese buyers are a major contributor to the fact that although fentanyl made in China with the knowledge and tacit approval of the Chinese Communist Party is rarely said out loud, China is no longer simply an economic rival to the United States, it is is becoming a dangerous enemy, but instead of protecting us from this threat, an existential threat. one our leadership class collaborates with the other side why do they do something so simple?

They are getting rich from this. This only became clear to many people a few months ago, when the most American professional basketball of all sports, a game literally invented in a gym in Springfield Massachusetts, ripped off its mask and showed the world who really controls the league. NBA general manager Daryl Morey, you may recall, wrote a tweet supporting pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong in the resulting backlash. The NBA and Mori apologized for daring to criticize China. The fascist regime and then Lebron James intervened and explained to us that in reality, freedom of speech in America is very overrated, so many people could have been harmed not only financially but also physically, emotionally and spiritually, so please bear Although yes, we have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative things that come with that too, aha, just be careful what you tweet or say because the Chinese are watching and paying the price. bills.

Golden State Warrior coach Steve. Meanwhile, Kerr explained that there really is no moral difference between the United States and Communist China, it hasn't come up in terms of people asking me about it, people discussing it, no, nor has our history of rights abuses come up. humans, nor the people in China did not ask me. about, you know, people possessing air or 15 and killing each other in a mall, yeah, America has school shootings. China is on its third or fourth genocide since World War II, you know, tomato, tomato, six dozen, one, whatever, yeah, saying something like that out loud.

It should be shocking, but it really isn't, it's a sign of how completely the people in charge of China in this country identify; In some cases, they have literally joined China's payroll, former Illinois Senator Mark Kirk, for example, is registered as a lobbying agent for the China-US Exchange Foundation which is a Chinese organization with ties to the Party. Communist a former senator former senator Joe Lieberman works for another Chinese company ZTE what ZTE well ZT is so dangerous to American interests that last August the president signed a bill prohibiting the government from using that company's equipment because it is too threatening, but it is lobbying for former congressman Rick Voucher, meanwhile it has lobbied for a whole list of Chinese companies, including Hikvision, Huawei and the search engine Baidu, but China is happy buying our retired legislators, they too They're aimed at people who have jobs that matter right now last night on this show we talked to you about a man named you mang, he's the chief investment officer of the huge California state pension fund called CalPERS mang, who was born in China and moved here to age.

The 25-person CalPERS previously ran China's $3 trillion foreign investment portfolio. CalPERS has long engaged in shareholder activism to promote left-wing causes in this country, such as gun control, and has been very aggressive about it, but now the fund also supports China's efforts to eclipse the United States. . The companies that supply the Chinese military literally also invest in Hikvision, which makes the surveillance equipment that China uses to monitor ethnic minorities like the Gers, so they are actively complicit in fascism. There is nothing harmless about these investments, as you yourself once pointed out. Of course, it gives power to the Chinese regime to make money flow in and I quote, of course it does, but they did it anyway when the men worked for the Chinese investment fund, he was recruited by the thousand initiative talents, which is a Chinese program designed to encourage foreign businessmen and scientists and other experts to work on behalf of China, often in secret, the explicit goal is to obtain Western technology and research for China's own use, so that they can surpass ourselves, which is last month.

Harvard chemistry professor Charles Lieber, head of the department, was arrested for hiding his work in On behalf of China, in fact, Lieber was working as a spy, but his case is not special: the entire shoddy academic world and He is one of the sleaziest and is addicted to Chinese money. Harvard and Yale are accused of hiding hundreds of millions in donation payments. from foreign countries it goes without saying that China is one of the main contributors. Recently, the Texas A&M University System attempted to assess how many of its professors received Chinese money. It turns out that more than a hundred of them had been recruited, but only five had reported their work. for a hostile foreign government, how many were charged?

I guess oh yeah, zero. Now Chinese officials do not pay these academics because they love scholarship. No. United States universities are key centers of scientific research and technical innovation. China would like to steal that information and they are so Tonight, the FBI is investigating more than a thousand cases in which they believe China has stolen research from American companies. If anything, our top colleges and universities are encouraging this to happen and you can see it in the way they recruit Chinese graduate students who fill our research. laboratories, this greatly enriches university administrators, but also allows the Chinese government easy access to critical information, some of which is directly related to our national security.

American academics made it clear which side they are on last November. University of Missouri officials. Kansas City removed an art exhibit supporting protesters in Hong Kong because Chinese students complained, according to the Republic. Columbia University's global center Beijing canceled the talks because they might upset Chinese officials, they are stifling free speech under communist China, and that's par for the course in the business. Disney changed their Benton character in one of their movies to a European woman because acknowledging the existence of Tibet would anger their masters in China, they should be ashamed, they apologize for selling a t-shirt in Canada that didn't show Taiwan as part of China.

By the way, it's not part of China, but China demanded that gap pretend it was and they complied. We could go on with your endless examples of this type of thing happening around us. How about Michael Bloomberg? He is running for president perhaps more than anyone in America Bloomberg represents the beliefs and values ​​of our current aristocracy, which is by far the worst in American history, the stupidest, the most greedy, no wonder Bloomberg has bowed to the Chinese and enriched himself with the Chinese. He's not ashamed of that in 2014. Bloomberg explained that in reality, China's unelected leader is not really a dictator;

His party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public when the public says, "I can't breathe the air." He is not going to survive, he is not a dictator, no, he has to, it is an electorate to which responses must be added, so the Chinese dictator is not a dictator, that makes you wonder how Michael Bloomberg would govern as president or maybe explains how you would do it. govern as president, but Bloomberg's personal admiration for the bloodthirsty fossil in charge of the world's largest communist country is not the only reason he likes China - there's a lot of money at stake, of course, that's what it's always about.

Bloomberg's company has huge investments in the country and that has influenced the way Bloomberg News reports on China in 2013, for example, Bloomberg News was accused of removing stories that would have revealed corruption by members of the dictator's family. Chinese and yes, he is a dictator. Ben Richardson, Bloomberg's Asia editor later said that he had been told directly by leaders at his company that covering the Chinese Politburo was wrong - that's like telling a Washington bureau chief that you can't cover Congress because you might insult him, that's Michael Bloomberg's position Today, former Bloomberg reporter Leta Hung Fincher wrote in the intercept about how Bloomberg's lawyers threatened to destroy his life if he didn't sign a confidentiality agreement about Bloomberg's censorship practices. company, but don't take their word for it a few years ago Bloomberg openly admitted that he let China censor his company's news, in fact he said it on TV here.

It is over the past year that there have been questions about the journalism that takes place in China and whether the company in its effort to grow has muzzled in China. They have rules about what you can post, we follow those rules if you don't follow the rules. You're right, not in the country we write the stories that we think are interesting and we distribute them where they are allowed to be distributed, where they are allowed to be distributed, the scariest part is that as China has become more powerful, the United States has become more powerful.

Relying on it, outsourcing our manufacturing power brought American companies big short-term profits. Head to Florida and you'll see the houses they built with those profits, but in the long run that decision made this country dangerously dependent on a nation seeking to displace us. On the world stage, consider just a small sector of the American economy. Medical supplies. China is now a major producer of antibiotics. Surgical tools. China is hard to believe, but it's true, the coronavirus panic alone was enough to cause shortages of some of these materials. What will happen if an even bigger crisis occurs, as it inevitably will, or if an attempt is made to simply cut exports as a show of force? that could happen maybe they invade Taiwan and then cut off exports how do we respond? we would be helpless.

The saddest and most infuriating part is that none of this had to happen in the first place. China didn't magically overtake us one day. The leaders made it possible, they incited it, they benefited from it, they betrayed us.
