Pentagon Insider Warns Joe Biden Against 'Major War' With China in Open Letter
By John Feng On 6/24/21 at 1:43 PM EDT
A Pentagon employee under investigation for penning op-eds in a Communist Party newspaper has written an open letter to Joe Biden warning against "entangling America in a major war with China" over Taiwan.
Franz Gayl, the 64-year-old former U.S. Marine once praised by then-Senator Biden for his whistleblower efforts in 2007, told Newsweek he approached China's state-owned tabloid Global Times "as a last resort" after his articles were rejected by other media outlets.
"My audience is American foreign policy decision makers," Gayl said in an emailed response on Thursday. His two opinion pieces, which ran on April 27 and May 27, included sharp criticisms of U.S. policy on Taiwan—including the officials and institutions that facilitate Washington's unofficial relationship with the democratic island.
