One country two systems was the ruse that took down Hong Kong, and if Harris gets in, that will be the ruse Xi will use to take over Taiwan. Heck, with a few more spies like Chrissy Fang Fang, it wouldn’t be hard for China to take down the US. What with all the Swalwells who can’t keep their pants zipped. Then there are the totally managed sycophants like Walz. Dim Dems.

That 2016 trip will likely be your last trip you ever did take to Taiwan if Harris and those people win November 5th. If they win, China gets an extra chance to invade.

A funny thing about China is that it may be a Paper Tiger full of bluster, piss and wind. It’s saber rattling on the world stage by intimidating Taiwan hoping it also scares the rest of the world. However, consider what would happen to China economically and domestically if it started a regional war with Taiwan, which would involve the west. China holds more than $1 trillion of U.S. national debt. It’s the world’s unmatched manufacturing leader, producing 28 percent of the world’s products, including electronics, machinery, automotive products and textiles. The U.S. is a distant manufacturing second. But that may be China’s Achilles heel. A Chinese initiated war would drive the global economy into a nosedive, and with it, millions of Chinese jobs. Sanctions directed at China would follow, cutting more manufacturing jobs that could prod millions of unhappy Chinese to repeat the 1989 Tiananmen Square revolution. China's brutal Covid lockdowns sparked a number of fiery confrontations with police after residents were imprisoned in their high-rise apartment buildings. Make no mistake, China fully understands that launching an international conflict would jeopardize millions of domestic jobs and cripple the country’s economy, throwing millions of workers onto the streets where revolutions are conceived. Today's Chinese workers are not yesterday's bicycling- black uniformed Maoist serfs. Their standard of living has improved exponentially, their lives filled with all the modern-day comforts we have in the U.S. They expect to be treated with dignity and respect by their sometimes brutal communist keepers. Despite China’s large military, it could be overrun by a billion unhappy, unemployed, hungry citizens who are facing war -- and destitution. The Chinese Communist Party – and the people – understand the government is the “wizard” behind the curtain, and it also knows it be overwhelmed by millions of tenacious revolutionaries – just as a thousand Army ants can overwhelm and kill a much larger and greater prey.

All the friends I have who lived in communist countries are big Trump fans. They understand what "socialism" really means. Totalitarianism and poverty, not rainbows and unicorns.
