Stop Enabling, and Thereby Inviting, CCP Aggression

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. 

The Chinese Communist Party is preparing for the invasion of Taiwan and other violent acts in the Pacific, and possibly here. Incredibly, Wall Street continues enabling such behavior by underwriting the CCP military’s unprecedented build-up.

Simultaneously, our own defense industry and armed forces are insanely reliant on CCP’s sources of rare earth minerals and components. A new Government Accountability Office analysis found that, “These suppliers may cut off U.S. access to critical materials or provide ‘back doors’ in their technology that serve as intelligence pathways.” 

It is unconscionable that such dependencies – and the associated, potentially catastrophic vulnerabilities – have been allowed in the first place. As with Wall Street’s ongoing treachery, the policies and practices that have gotten us into this fix must be formally repudiated and abandoned, and those responsible held accountable. And corrective measures must be made urgent national priorities.
