Trump’s Choice on China

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. 

Communist China is in trouble. The cumulative effect of various economic, environmental and demographic problems precipitated by decades of Chinese Communist Party misrule is translating into acute political turmoil. There is growing speculation that dictator Xi Jinping’s grip on absolute power is imperiled.

That crisis presents President Trump with a momentous choice: Come to the CCP’s rescue, as did his predecessors Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Or, like Ronald Reagan, help liberate people enslaved and murdered by a regime that mortally threatens us.

Mr. Trump’s announcement that he’ll admit six hundred thousand PRC students – reportedly a priority of, and favor to, Xi – suggests he’s willing to prop up the CCP. Having what could translate into a million fighting-age Chinese nationals in the United States, however, is an obvious threat to our country, and the wrong choice regarding China.
