Communist China Poses Greatest Threat to US and World, Senators Told

WASHINGTON—Communist China poses the most severe threat to the U.S. economy and national security; the future of the whole world is at stake; and the United States needs a whole-of-society approach to fight back, U.S. senators were told at a Dec. 12 Judiciary Committee hearing.

In his opening remarks at the hearing, “China’s Non-Traditional Espionage Against the United States: The Threat and Potential Policy Responses,” committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that while Russia’s interference shouldn’t be underestimated, “the media hysteria over all things Russia has distracted attention from arguably a greater, more existential threat: China’s efforts to overtake the United States as the world’s preeminent superpower in all phases of society.

“When it comes to espionage, FBI Director [Christopher] Wray has said, ‘There’s no country that’s even close’ to the People’s Republic of China. General Keith Alexander called China’s estimated gains from economic espionage of up to $600 billion, ‘the greatest transfer of wealth in history.’

Some of these Senators who might not be so popular for other issues, are actually very good on other issues like this foreign policy. Surely, he's absolutely correct.

"Economic espionage" costing up to $600 billion.

We should figure out ways to invest in the future of the United States so China doesn't take over the world. :pondering:

Not even close. The DNC and the corrupt Surrender Monkies in the RNC represent the biggest danger to world peace because they need revolutions as justification for taking control.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
