Why the Wuhan Virus Threatens the Chinese Communist Party's Imperial Dreams
2020-05-06
[Town Hall] - If it acts, the Free World has the opportunity to condemn another communist dictatorship to Karl Marx's dustbin of history and avoid a war with a totalitarian superpower circa 2035.

The Chinese Communist Party knows the COVID-19/Wuhan virus pandemic has exposed its imperial war to conquer the world, so it is frantically engaged in psychological and political damage control.

Why? The strategic exposure (a cruel pun) of Beijing's goal occurs at least 10 years too early. If the CCP and Emperor/President/Dictator Xi Jinping just had another decade of gross domestic product growth; of military modernization; of intellectual property theft; of trade rigging; of bribing crooked EU and American politicians and Ivy League academics; of stroking elite U.S. media; of narrative warfare crafted to undermine democracy and erode free speech -- with another 10 to 15 years of unrestricted "all lines of operation" warfare, China could hogtie America and have the military power to dominate Asia and the western Pacific.

#3  Yes but the Chinese were rioting before the virus hit so we are closer to the end game.

#2  Buckle your seat belts and settle in for a long and bumpy ride. Took us about 44 years to consign the USSR to the dustbin of history.

#1   If it acts,

That's a pretty big if.
