The reaction from Beijing to the latest U.S. intelligence assessment that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan lab was predictable communist bluster.
A spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry huffed and puffed about the World Health Organization (WHO) report that dismissed the lab-leak theory, and said, "Certain parties should stop rehashing the 'lab leak' narrative, stop smearing China and stop politicizing origins-tracing."
For the record, the WHO is totally compromised by communist China (here and here), and its report isn't worth the paper it was printed on. (Here and here.)
Sadly, the response from the Biden White House was just as predictable and equally pathetic. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said yesterday, "There is not a consensus right now in the U.S. government about exactly how COVID started. We're just not there yet."
Meanwhile, Politico reported yesterday that the Biden White House was "scaling back a planned executive order to oversee American investments in China." Why would he do that, given everything we know about communist China? Because that's what Biden's big business buddies are telling him to do.
American corporations like McDonalds, Starbucks and Tyson's Foods are rushing to get back into Beijing's good graces, and are planning major expansions into various Chinese markets.
Once again, we're seeing how certain Americans act like lawyers and lobbyists for the Chinese Communist Party.
We saw it during the Trump Administration. When the Chinese communists had to come to Washington, D.C., to sign renegotiated trade deals, they usually went to New York City first. They had a message to deliver to Wall Street firms and corporate CEOs, "Get Trump off our backs!" And many of those corporate executives did just that.
The Chamber of Commerce actually resisted Donald Trump's efforts to bring U.S. jobs back home in spite of the many ways that the pandemic demonstrated our overdependence on communist China for essential products.
This "fifth column" may well be the greatest national security threat we face. We expect our enemies to spy on us. But what is so infuriating and unnerving is that the first instinct of many influential and powerful Americans is to defend communist China!
We're still mourning our dead from the communist Chinese coronavirus. But communist China is flying spy balloons over our country.
They're harassing our ships and planes in the Pacific.
They're making aggressive moves in the Arctic Circle.
They're increasing the persecution of Chinese Christians.
They are preparing for war.
What would Beijing have to do for some American "capitalist" CEOs to feel guilty about making money in communist China? And when hostilities break out, will they support us or will they once again defend communist China?
