Biden Must Stand Fast Against the Chinese Communist Party’s Hegemonic Ambitions

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

As Americans are preoccupied with the cumulative effects of a pandemic unleashed by the Chinese Communist Party, an election roiled by, among other things, CCP influence operations and a transition of power to a president deeply compromised by his dealings with China, the regime in Beijing appears emboldened to behave ever more aggressively.

For example, Chinese police intensified their suppression of Hong Kong with the arrest of more than fifty prominent dissidents and freedom-fighters. The People’s Liberation Army continued its unprecedented campaign of military pressure and psychological warfare against Taiwan. And China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, ordered his armed forces to be ready for war “at any second.”

If Xi is to be deterred from acting on a perceived window of opportunity for his belligerence, the incoming administration must convincingly establish that America will continue to oppose, not appease, the CCP’s hegemonic ambitions.
