We Must Help Bring Down, Not Prop Up, the CCP

Secure Freedom Minute

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The least-discussed acute public policy problem we face is the mortal threat posed to our nation by the Chinese Communist Party. It declared a “People’s War” against America five years ago and has weaponized against us every technique short of actual kinetic attacks, even as it prepares for a shooting war, as well. Curiously, despite vice presidential candidate Tim Walz’s longstanding and intimate personal knowledge of Communist China, he made no mention of this danger during his remarks to the Democratic National Convention last night. That’s the more striking since the regime in Beijing faces acute internal problems which, if properly exploited, could bring it down. The Biden administration, instead, is working to reduce Beijing’s “financial stresses.” We need an informed national decision this fall about whether that’s advisable. And we need to know where candidates stand on the question now. This is Frank Gaffney.
