Natalie’s Commentary: This is an ignominy of epic proportions where Biden’s blatant unwillingness as an American President will not help his country and put American’s economy and safety first. I will say it again as I support what Mollie Heminway, Editor of the Federalist said, “These are impeachable offenses.” And yet all of Congress in the House and Senate are aware of our vulnerability and danger with treasonous Biden continuing to act like a Communist Dictator and none of these people will start the impeachment process to literally save America. He doesn’t care how much and how hard he will continue to hurt and kill Americans.
Biden did not have Emergency Use Authorization to mandate fake vaccines because people didn’t give consent to UNKNOWN dangerous adverse events including a high probability of death caused by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson now being exposed and reported on.
In an unusual and unprecedented emergency meeting by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, second in command in China with more responsibilities than Xi, Li presided over 100,000 Chinese officials issuing a stark warning of the first of its kind in many years to prepare for “grim challenges” ahead. Li warned about the “apparent downward trend” across employment, manufacturing, electricity, and cargo transportation. This is massive. Li’s tone only underscored the growing anxiety as the Chinese Premier became increasingly vocal about the outlook for the world’s second largest economy.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s newly unveiled China policy was not well received by defense and security experts, who criticized Biden and his administration’s decision not to engage in any economic decoupling from China. As well as its move to announce the policies at an event hosted by a group that has ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
This is where Biden’s corrupted ties to China’s Xi Jinping and the CCP threatens the United States National Security in a pay2play scheme worth $31 million to the Biden Syndicate Family, exposed in Peter Schweizer’s new book “Red Handed”. This places Americans at a further and further disadvantage by not supporting American’s lives and most importantly threatening our national security. With the US economy already dragging down the country and now attaching China’s economic downward spiral, quite literally will leave Americans in destitute.
Investment banks such as UBS, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and JP Morgan have recently cut their China GDP forecasts due to the crushing effects of the regime’s “zero-COVID” policies.
”Secretary of State, Antony Blinken outlined the long-awaited China policy on May 26, during which he continually stressed that the United States would not decouple its economy from China. The choice of emphasis may have been an effort to soothe Beijing, following the Chinese foreign ministry’s efforts to initiate a propaganda campaign earlier in the week accusing the United States of trying to decouple from China.”
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said, “We need to decouple our economy in strategic and vital sectors from the Chinese economy. We cannot be dependent on the goods that feed us and clothe us and provide us defense and literally save our lives from the communist Chinese regime that wants to replace us as the world’s dominant power.”
Candidate for Washington State, Joe Kent said. “If Biden were serious about China we’d decouple our supply lines, onshore & kick the CCP out of our markets. Instead we let them control us economically & saber rattle wars we can’t afford.”
Who in God’s name and under the Constitution and our Declaration of Independence in Congress is going to stand up and start the impeachment proceedings of an illegitimate President, who is number one unwilling to protect the American people which is his number one task and priority. This is a chronic lying deceitful corrupted knave compromised by China and the CCP and is unwilling to decouple our supply lines, onshore & kick the CCP out of our markets. If we let this continue any further, we will pay the price with all our cherished lives and our freedoms of liberty and justice for all.
As Frank Gaffney, executive chairman and founder of the Center for Security Policy, questions whether the Biden administration’s “wrecking operation” against the United States may be the result of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) use of “elite capture” to “compromise” President Joe Biden and senior White House officials.
The policies of Biden’s administration undermine America’s national interests while benefiting the CCP, Gaffney said on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with special guest host Matt Boyle. The White House’s conduct — including revelations made by Peter Schweizer in Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win — warrant investigation by select committees in both houses of Congress, he argued. ~ Natalie
China Holds Unprecedented Meeting as ‘Zero-COVID’ Crushes Economy
From The Epoch Times By May 26, 2022 and Nats.News Commentary
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on May 25 presided over a meeting of over 100,000 officials to issue a stark warning about the “grim challenges” ahead for the country’s economy, which has been battered by the communist regime’s COVID-19 policies.
In a teleconference with representatives from provincial, city, and county levels of government, Li warned about the “apparent downward trend” across employment, manufacturing, electricity, and cargo transportation.
“The difficulties, in some aspects and to a certain degree, are even greater than 2020 when the pandemic hit hard,” he told the attendees, according to a summary from Chinese state media.
The scale of the conference, unseen for years, as well as the tone he struck in the remarks both suggest a sense of growing anxiety as the Chinese premier become increasingly vocal about the outlook of the world’s second largest economy.
A transcript of his speech posted online shows him calling for officials to “try to make sure” the Chinese economy will not contract in the second quarter.
“The goal is not high, and quite a distance away from the 5.5 percent growth target we raised at the year’s start, but this is what we must do judging from reality,” he said.
Investment banks such as UBS, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and JP Morgan have recently cut their China GDP forecasts due to the crushing effects of the regime’s “zero-COVID” policies.
“Unexpected” factors since March, such as COVID-19 outbreaks and the Ukraine war have dragged down the economy, Li said, adding that it would take “considerable effort” to reverse the current economic trajectory. April’s government revenue, after taking into account the tax refunds, has dropped by 5.9 percent, while the income for some local governments in the eastern coastal area of China plunged by as much as 32 percent, he said. He revealed that several provinces had requested to borrow money from China’s cabinet-like State Council.
“We are having this meeting today because there’s no time to lose,” he said.
Li made the speech two days after hosting a cabinet meeting unveiling 33 measures to ease economic pressure, including stepping up tax refunds, giving loans to small businesses, and extending unemployment insurance assistance.
China’s central bank on May 25 also commenced an “emergency” meeting. It later sent a notice urging national banks to prioritize lending, according to Chinese media reports.
Beijing’s heavy-handed lockdowns to contain COVID-19 have grounded production in major industrial and commercial centers. Shanghai, after more than two months of stringent COVID-19 restrictions that have largely fenced people into their homes, saw its industrial output nosediving 61.5 percent in April from a year earlier. Factory production across the country has meanwhile sunk to the worst level since the pandemic hit more than two years ago.
At least 26 Chinese cities have remained in some form of lockdown as of May 23, affecting over 200 million Chinese and more than a fifth of the country’s economic output, according to an estimate by Japanese bank Nomura.
“Factories can’t work, commoners can’t live their lives, and transportation can’t function, this ‘dynamic COVID zero’ is pretty much an economic suicide,” Gu Guoping, a retired professor from the Shanghai University of Engineering Science, told The Epoch Times, referring to the official name for the regime’s zero-tolerance strategy.
While the conference was “unprecedented” in terms of scale, Gu believes it won’t achieve the outcome Li hopes for.
“His boss has him tied,” he said, referencing Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who is seen as spearheading the regime’s COVID-19 policies.
Li, for the better part of the last decade, has long kept a low profile. But his remarks in recent months have appeared to carry a divergent sentiment from Xi.
Despite the continuing outbreak in Beijing, Li didn’t wear a mask in the conference room, which sat dozens of people. He also made no mention of the regime’s zero-COVID policy that Xi has touted.
For Xi to allow Li to convene the meeting on May 25 is indicative of how grave China’s economic problem is, according to Feng Chongyi, a China studies professor at the University of Technology Sydney.
But Li is walking a tightrope right now, he said.
“If Li Keqing indeed succeeds, the credit will still go to Xi Jinping, who is the supreme leader,” he told The Epoch Times. But if Li “can’t salvage the Chinese economy,” he will have to “share the responsibility.”
Biden’s Newly Unveiled China Policy a ‘Missed Opportunity’: Experts
From The Epoch Times By May 26, 2022 AND Nats.News Commentary Above In First Article
The Biden administration’s newly unveiled China policy was not well received by defense and security experts, who criticized the administration’s decision not to engage in any economic decoupling from China, as well as its move to announce the policies at an event hosted by a group that has ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Others, meanwhile, said that it marked an admission of the failure of the United States’ longstanding effort to pull China into the global marketplace.
“Blinken’s speech on China essentially says decades of diplomatic & economic engagement with China have failed to keep the Communist Party from a path of aggression,” said Edward Wong, a fellow at Harvard University, in a tweet.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken outlinedthe long-awaited China policy on May 26, during which he continually stressed that the United States would not decouple its economy from China. The choice of emphasis may have been an effort to soothe Beijing, following the Chinese foreign ministry’s efforts to initiate a propaganda campaign earlier in the week accusing the United States of trying to decouple from China.
Decoupling, the act of severing or severely limiting certain economic engagement, has been increasingly promoted by some in Congress in recent years, who consider such an effort vital to prevent the continued theft of critical technologies by China.
“We need to decouple our economy in strategic and vital sectors from the Chinese economy,” said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) during a recent interview on Fox. “We cannot be dependent on the goods that feed us and clothe us and provide us defense and literally save our lives from the communist Chinese regime that wants to replace us as the world’s dominant power.”
“If Biden were serious about China we’d decouple our supply lines, onshore & kick the CCP out of our markets,” said Congressional candidate for Washington state Joe Kent. “Instead we let them control us economically & saber rattle wars we can’t afford.”
Others criticized the Biden administration’s selection of the Asia Society as an inappropriate or otherwise questionable venue for the announcement of the policy, due to the fact that it has several ties to the CCP.
“Why do top Dems like Blinken persist in choosing a Chinese Communist Party-friendly organization, sponsored by state-owned China Investment Corp ($1.2 trillion AUM) as a venue for a major policy speech?” said Anders Corr, principal of boutique risk management firm Corr Analytics, in a tweet. “There are hundreds of orgs more deserving of State Department support.”
Others lambasted the Asia Society’s continued relationship with Ning Gaoning, a CCP member who is currently on its board of trustees and also serves as the chairman of Sinochem, a Chinese state-owned company that was blacklisted from U.S. investments in 2020, when the Trump administration determined that it was backed by the Chinese military.
“Tony Blinken is unveiling the admin’s China policy this morning at an event hosted by Asia Society, the soft-on-China organization that established dozens of Confucius Institutes and has a CCP member on its board of directors,” said journalist Chuck Ross in a tweet.
Still, others expressed less ire and more disappointment that the administration used the opportunity to merely repeat the same phrases it has previously said, and did not meaningfully engage in new initiatives or ideas, given that the policy has been in the works for 17 months.
“Today’s major Blinken speech on China didn’t cover any new ground,” said Derek Grossman, an Indo-Pacific analyst for the Rand Corporation, in a tweet. “Missed opportunity.”
