China has been on a march toward dominating the United States for the last four decades, at least. Their sole mission has essentially become finding ways to weaken the United States and usurp us as the world's most dominant superpower. That has led to them finding innovative, creative ways of trying to break down the country internally.
The Tik Tok app is a great example, which has been used to push Chinese propaganda, and create more of a divide with news filters. They have also instilled Confucius Institutes at college campuses in effort to further push the idea that China is good. Lastly, especially in the last decade, they have begun buying up farmland across the country, including in Texas. They have bought land near power plants, military bases, and various other concerning areas.
They essentially occupy part of the United States already without any military force needed. We have just allowed this sleeping giant to awaken, with no sleeping pills to bring it back to bed. Fox contributor and author Gordon Chang says this has happened thanks to a vast underestimation of China.
"We have not viewed them as the threat they are...it is clearly a national security threat...we have misperceived them and underestimated it," he says.
You could point to virtually any administration, minus Donald Trump, and see how they just let China hibernate and grow power. Under President Biden though, things have escalated, with Chinese and American warships interacting in the South China Sea.
Yet Biden just keeps bumbling and mumbling along, blissfully unaware of the problem he has created.
"They believe they can cooperate with a Chinese regime that has made it very clear that it has hostile intent toward the United States," he says.
The Chinese have spent over $100 billion acquiring American companies since 2010, and many of those businesses focus on real estate. They are now even the top foreign buyer of real estate in the country.
Fixing the problem is fairly easy too, if Biden would just do something about it. A good start would be not underestimating China and slamming them like Trump did.
But there is another easy solution we could take from China's playbook.
"No American can own one square inch of Chinese land...I do not see why Chinese nationals and entities should be able to own land here," says Chang. "We can deal with this fast with a simple rule that no country that prohibits Americans to own land may own land in the United States."
Chang adds that with how things are going, we could be at war with China virtually any time.
