Suzanne Clark, CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, delivered an address last week in which she aggressively defended globalism and lashed out at policies that try to protect a nation's industries, i.e., our nation -- America.
She even attacked the idea of re-shoring jobs, or, as she put it, "reactively repatriating supply chains."
Re-shoring is the process that's happening right now as American businesses realize that communist China is an enemy of the United States with zero respect for the rule of law and basic human rights. As a result, those companies are bringing their factories and jobs back home.
This is just common sense. It's also in the best interests of our national security. But not to the globalists at the Chamber of Commerce. They are furious.
Apparently, Clark learned nothing from the COVID pandemic, which revealed just how dependent on communist China we had become.
Never mind that there were times when we couldn't get necessary medical supplies because they were all "Made in China."
Never mind that we are dependent on communist China for needed medicines.
Never mind that even our biggest defense companies are dependent on communist China, our biggest enemy. Who let that happen?!
Someone with Clark's mindset may dress up nicely and fit in well at Manhattan cocktail parties. But their loyalty to multinational corporations -- not American corporations but global corporations -- makes them no better than any left-wing professor who despises America. These big business globalists, including many in the GOP's donor class, are no better.
Thankfully, congressional conservatives no longer think of the Chamber of Commerce as a natural ally – especially as Corporate America has become increasingly woke and promotes the left's radical agenda.
And, thankfully, more and more Republicans are seriously rethinking America's relationship with communist China.
