The recent Department of Defense report should concern all Americans. The authors conclude that China is engaged in the largest military build-up since Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Colonel Grant Newsham once served as the Marine liaison officer to Japan and is also a Senior Fellow with the Center for Security Policy. His book, When China Attacks: A Warning to America, documents Communist China’s ongoing covert war against the United States and its allies. He gave a sobering interview with WorldNetDaily about China’s military intentions.
He explained that “China’s military build-up has been going on for over 30 years – regardless of who has been in the White House – Democrat or Republican.” It is true that the Chinese Communist Party has been emboldened by American weakness and perceived decline. And he added that “the Chinese communists certainly did not fear the Biden administration.”
On the other hand, Newsham argued, “The first Trump administration was the first one in my lifetime that actually frightened Beijing.” But that did not slow down the Chinese military build-up.” He warns, “Beijing will not let up in its quest to be able to dominate – and defeat, if possible – the U.S. and the U.S. military.”
He is not the only person warning Americans about China. Gordon Chang, in his book, Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America, warns that “China has a plan to destroy America. Does America have a plan to defend itself?” Even leftists, like Martin Jacques, write about When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order.
The Trump administration must be ready to face the formidable China challenge.
