Biden’s gift to China is the ‘gift that keeps on giving’

The Chinese Communist Party should stick to spy balloons.

They are cheaper and more effective than Chinese police stations in New York and other US cities – unless they are shot down – why don’t we have one in Boston?

And Chinese President Xi Jinping may be grateful that President Biden ordered the shooting down of the spy balloon after it flew over the United States and completed its intelligence-gathering mission. But it makes no difference.

If President Xi Jinping can’t use balloons to steal American intelligence, or have his own police station in the United States to spy on Chinese dissidents, he’ll think of other ways.

Like exploiting the wealth of American secret intelligence provided by Jack Teixeira, a member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Collected secret intel is cheaper than spy balloons. In fact, it’s free.

If a 21-year-old Teixeira has access to such secret information, how many other Jack Teixeiras are there among the 2 million people who have similar access to such information?

Joe Biden will not stop Xi Jinping. The Chinese leader has Joe Biden’s phone number and files on the Biden family’s business dealings with the Chinese while Biden was vice president. That’s why Joe Biden is talking and Xi Jinping is doing it.

Biden’s gift to the Chinese is one that keeps on giving, whether it’s ignoring China’s role in fueling a fentanyl drug crisis that kills 100,000 young Americans each year, or ignoring mounting evidence that 100,000 The COVID virus that killed 10,000 Americans came from the Wuhan lab in China.

The communist Chinese are laughing all the way to the bank, especially with the Biden administration announcing they are forcing Americans to buy electric cars they don’t want and can’t afford. Lithium batteries for electric cars are made in China, like all the solar panels the left is urging Americans to buy in the name of climate change.

China dominates the world in the production of lithium batteries, which are crucial for electric vehicles. The batteries are made in factories in China, where they burn dirty coal for energy.

While the crazy left in the US shut down clean coal mines in the US, the Chinese expanded their use of coal to make products like batteries to sell to the US.

The Chinese don’t mind that they get most of their essential minerals from young, poorly paid miners in the Republic of Congo. As Tony Soprano said, it’s just business.

It doesn’t bother progressives that you’ll be driving new, expensive, US government-subsidized electric cars that run on energy produced in polluting factories, or on minerals mined in harsh conditions by low-wage little boys.

Instead of Biden and Green New Deal activists leveling with Americans on the real cost and real environmental impact of EVs on the environment, we hear another speech from John Kerry about the end of the world.

Another gift to the Chinese would be Biden’s passive response to the Chinese Communist Party’s takeover of Taiwan during the Biden presidency.

While Biden has gifted Ukraine untold billions of dollars in military equipment to aid Ukrainians in their fight against Vladimir Putin and the Russians, he has refused to send $14 billion worth of military equipment to Taiwan, which has already Fee paid. That includes $8 billion for 66 F-16 fighter jets, Patriot missiles, Stingers, and more.

Perhaps Biden was counting on Li Zuocheng, a Chinese general in the People’s Liberation Army, to make a call to his friend, General Mark McLeary, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, when the Chinese were about to invade Taiwan.

After all, Miley called his buddy Lee to inform him that the United States under President Donald Trump would not attack China during the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol.

“If we’re going to attack, I’ll call you ahead of time,” Miley told Lee.

You wonder why we are in trouble.
