Does the Biden Administration Emulate the Chinese Communist Party's Methods?

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been pursuing a number of intertwined goals aimed at world economic dominance in all spheres: trade, policy, legal, technology, etc.

  • In one of its many successful campaigns of that ongoing multi-front hybrid war against its main adversary, the CCP has corrupted some members of the US political class
  • The rampant corruption is intertwined with bought-and-paid-for Chinese sycophancy, outright admiration of the communist regime in Beijing, and the mirroring of some of its authoritarian policies by the Biden administration

Great Firewall Versus Big Tech

  • China’s “Great Firewall” is the “Golden Shield” of internet censorship and surveillance
  • The goal is to maintain ideological control of Chinese citizens by restricting their access to “corrupting foreign influences”
  • Facilitates monitoring of individual communications to crush dissent

Social Credit Systems

  • The ostensible goal of China's evolving social credit system is to enable reporting on the "trustworthiness" of individuals, corporations, and government entities across China-with trustworthiness, of course, being arbitrarily defined by the CCP
  • Left unsaid is the punishment for those deemed by the state to have exhibited "insincere consciousness"

Masks, Social Distancing, and Lockdowns

  • These COVID-19 response measures originated in China and are components of China's "zero-COVID" policy
  • Democratic governors have been happy to force these on Americans while ignoring the lack of any proof whatsoever that masks are effective
  • It took nearly two years for the New York state supreme court to determine that the mask mandate was unconstitutional

Vaccination Certificates

  • A key feature of Beijing's "zero-COVID" policy is the use of "vaccination certificates," which are used in the social credit system to control the access and travel of all Chinese citizens.
  • Rasmussen polling in January showed that a majority of Democrats embrace restrictive policies, including punitive measures against those who haven't gotten the COVID-19 vaccine.

Media Narratives and Control

  • Chinese state-run media parrots the prevailing CCP narratives pronounced by Chinese leader Xi Jinping
  • While carefully watching China's media operations, the Democrat-media complex does not take a backseat to the Chinese communists in terms of controlling media narratives in the United States

Concluding Thoughts

  • The CCP got what they paid for, including through the actions of the "united front," which is one of Mao Zedong's "three magic weapons" (the other two being party-building and armed struggle).
  • Initially, the United Front Work Department (UFWD) was focused domestically on establishing and strengthening CCP control over all Chinese citizens.
  • Xi Jinping expanded the UFWD's mission to include foreign objectives such as "the co-optation of elites, information management, persuasion, and accessing strategic information and resources" with the express purpose of "influencing the decision-making of foreign governments and societies in China's favor."
