No Substitute for Victory: Mike Gallagher on Winning the Competition with China

  • In April, Congressman Mike Gallagher wrote in Foreign Affairs that “the [Chinese Communist Party] has no desire to coexist indefinitely with great powers that promote liberal values and thus represent a fundamental threat to its rule.”
    Iran’s quest to destroy Israel, Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, Venezuela’s menacing against its neighbors, and North Korea’s nuclear saber-rattling are all underwritten by China as part of the CCP’s plan to disintegrate the West and usher in a new, antidemocratic order with Beijing at its center.
    Congressman Gallagher will sit down for a fireside chat with Hudson President and CEO John P. Walters to discuss China’s hegemonic ambitions, the new axis of aggressors, and the congressman’s work at the head of the House China committee.

    Economic competition must be based on economic principles, not on the political will of politicians. If so, the US should observe market natural laws. If you just want to win the competition with China through political means, your actions may not turn out as you wish.

    The U.S. military said U.S. bombers or carrier strike groups sailing in the South China Sea could face a salvo of dozens, if not hundreds, of ballistic missiles designed to overwhelm its defenses, destroy critical capabilities, and sink U.S. warships into the deep sea.
    A senior US military official said that if China and the United States go to war, after the first hour, there will be little left of the US military's bases in the Indo-Pacific circle.
    A senior defense official said it is changing the U.S. appetite for war in the region, "creating a conventional deterrent capability that threatens our posture, our presence and our activities, which could lead policymakers in Washington to perceive the stakes as too high."

      if the stakes at the west pacific and 1st island chain are considered too high, the next being threatened is the west coast of US continent. If China breaks out of the 1st island chain. PLA nuclear submarines can easily slip into the depth of the Pacific Ocean without being detected. The 2nd and 3rd island chains are too porous to effectively contain the submarines. When they emerge again, they can be near the coastal of Los Angeles or any other city of the west coast.

    As a Boston Democrat and full-time Russia/China watcher, I was relieved and impressed with Mike and Raja's handling of bipartisanship with a minimum of sniping. I was also impressed with Mike Gallagher's nuanced understanding of China's CCP and awareness of how it has changed under Xi Jinping over the last 10 years and even more under the last 5 years. Things have changed SO FAST and so fundamentally that it is almost impossible to describe it without sounding alarmist, war-mongering, racist, biased, etc. to otherwise educated people who have NOT been watching. This includes most Congresspeople on both sides of the aisle as well as the people in parliaments around the world.
    While it's probably fun to take jabs at Biden and Blinken at their foreign policy demeanor which looks weak from the outside, I think Republicans need to recognize that we suddenly ARE weak. Yes, Democrats (especially Progressives) need to come to terms with the fact that merely talking for the sake of talking is not diplomacy no matter how much some on our side of the aisle want to believe in unicorns, rainbows, and Kissinger, but Republicans need to understand that this is NOT Reagan's 1980's and we no longer command the "yessir" respect with our allies that we once did. Our China Policy is, by necessity, having to take into consideration France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, the fact that Taiwan's top trading partner is China, our fumbling loss for decades of most PI nations, etc.
    I'm sure Biden and Blinken WANT to tell China that Gray warfare will now be considered acts of war starting tomorrow... but even our own Congress is not willing to go it alone in a war with China and Wall Street, Main St., and poor people who are still buying Temu and Shein certainly do not.
    We -- Democrats and Republicans -- want to get to the same place with regard to China, but for once -- FOR ONCE! -- it is the current administration and the saner of the Democrats who recognize that we are not at the same relative strength that we once were... and that it takes several moves to get to that position.
    I would argue that Biden/Blinken are (I hope) playing Chess while many others with an opinion on Twitter are playing Candy Crush.

    • @GeoScorpion
      @GeoScorpion 19 днів тому

      ​@@tourist-sy3yj I don't want us to get into a kinetic war with the PRC's 1.1 Billion people (it's well known that China no longer has 1.4 billion and maybe not even 1.0 Billion people) but it doesn't matter if one side wants peace when the other side insists on acts of war:
      (1) The fentanyl issue is nothing short of intentional, premeditated chemical warfare against a civilian population
      (2) Intellectual Property theft and espionage by the CCP costs the US -- businesses and workers -- $600 Billion / year.
      (3) The installation of illegal police stations in the US and in NATO countries without consular permission is an act of war.
      (4) Operation Fox Hunt and other transnational repression tactics against US citizens and people residing the US and in NATO countries are acts of war
      (5) The four separate speeches he made to his own people telling them to prepare for war and be ready for war and for his generals to "dare to fight" and the sudden ramp of the PLAN, PLAN, PLARF, etc. are all signs of an impending attack by Xi
      (6) The constant cyber attacks, especially with "Volt Typhoon" are acts of war
      (7) The infiltration of social media by the Chinese government for the purpose of bringing down our society from within in a stated, written, planned and coordinated effort is an act of war.
      (8) The act of Genocide is an act of war against all countries and legally obligates every country to declare war as the only ethical response.
      The fact that you want to do business with such a country is an act of ______________________ . Care to fill in the blank?

      Why not simply decouple? No business and no association. China wouldn't attack the US because that is destructive. The US wouldn't attack China because it knows it can't win. Each goes their own way.

    • @GeoScorpion
      @GeoScorpion 18 днів тому

      ​@@X-H-Wu (1) decoupling from China -- the country -- would be the death of that country as an intact nation and would devastate the economies of the rest of the world. China is a very food and energy insecure nation that depends on global trade for the survival of its people on very basic levels. The world -- America less than other parts of the world -- depends for the time being on many of the industries that China has cornered and monopolized, namely fertilizers such as Potash (which it already banned the export of before Covid causing a food shortage). Xi knows this and it's evident today with even the limited withdrawal of Western Companies because of XI's Security and anti-espionage laws.
      (2) The ideology of the CCP even from the time of Mao does not allow for the coexistence of itself and Liberalized democracies. Under Xi, the destruction and corruption of "The West" and "The US" and every country that is not itself has become a mandate that is openly talked and written about internally. This is also seen in its actions and even in fact that Taiwan's freedom is seen as delegitimizing its own existence. Taiwan is an obvious example, but it has the same existential fear caused by the cognitive dissonance with the existence of all democracies. I can back this point up with their own words endlessly and ad nauseum.
      (3) China is already at war with the West and every single one of its neighbors even though its actions are, through mere civilized tradition, seen as always stopping just short of Acts of War when looked at individually. Taken together and considered together with the publicly written and spoken words of its own top leaders, it's impossible to view its combined and coordinated actions as anything less than those of a country actively at war with the entire world. If it were not for its nukes and the entanglement of the world's economies, every country on the planet would have already declared China's actions to be acts of war. Greed is a powerful motivator for peace even more than war.
      (4) To just go our separate ways is to condemn about 1.1 billion people to the increasingly untenable existence (note: nobody believes China has 1.4 billion people anymore. Not even the CCP). If you saw what has become of the average Chinese people over the past 5 years and the horror of their next 20 years (if most of them even live that long), you would not wish their lives on your worst enemy and the Chinese people are not and have never been our enemy.
      I hope that begins to answer your question. I can support my points with sources that include the CCP's own words in English and Chinese (Mandarin). The UA-cam space doesn't allow for a fuller answer.

    Who lost China? Then comparing the debates about the Korea Civil War and the Vietnam Civil War with the debates about this war, people will find that policy scholars have made many wrong judgments, because they don't confess the war is another socialism war after Communist Manifesto, so Dr. Kissinger makes the right judgment on Ukraine socialism warfare. But Mr. Gallagher makes a wrong judgement, because China civil war is made by people who oppose LORD, so they, socialism parties and atheism scholars, are pushing the USN and USMC to traps, LORD bless us, may LORD has mercy on us.
