There was a time when the American CEO was a titan of industry, a builder whose moral compass was fixed on America. Their fortunes were tied to the prosperity of the nation they called home. They understood that what was good for our workers, our families, and our security was ultimately good for business. Their allegiance was never in doubt.
But a new species of corporate leader has emerged from the globalist set. You know the type—more comfortable in the conference halls of Davos or Beijing than in the heartland of America. They speak a language of international markets, viewing national borders as pesky obstacles to profit.
From Fox News:
Consumers’ Research, a leading nonprofit dedicated to consumer information and taking on woke corporations, launched a new campaign Thursday targeting insurance giant Chubb Limited and its CEO Evan Greenberg, alleging “deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”…
The campaign accuses the insurance company and its chief executive of “cozying up to the CCP” and “using their market power and resources to push a woke, political agenda on the American people.”
And now, we have a textbook case of this misplaced loyalty, served up on a silver platter. The watchdog group Consumers’ Research just launched a scathing new campaign targeting insurance giant Chubb and its CEO, Evan Greenberg, for what they call “deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).” The initiative rightly accuses the company of cozying up to our nation’s greatest adversary while pushing a woke political agenda on Americans back home. It’s a perfect storm of corporate hypocrisy.
In His Own Words
For anyone who thinks this is just political hyperbole, let’s go straight to the source. Greenberg doesn’t just do business in China; he publicly lavishes praise on its totalitarian regime. While serving as Chair of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, he had the distinct “honor” of introducing the communist dictator Xi Jinping at a fancy dinner in San Francisco. His words weren’t those of a wary businessman, but of a devoted admirer.
From Fox News:
“Like many others in this room, I believe that a strong and prosperous China that supports and invests in the international system can be a force for good in the world…
“We are gathered today to gain insight from President Xi into his vision for the future of his country and of the relationship between the United States and China. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in warmly welcoming President Xi Jinping.”
The leader of a major American corporation is calling a brutal communist dictator a “force for good.” Tell that to the Uyghurs in concentration camps, the Christians whose churches are bulldozed, or the people of Hong Kong whose freedoms have been extinguished.
From Wall Street to the Great Wall
But this isn’t just about empty praise; it’s about cold, hard cash. Billions of it. Under Greenberg’s leadership, Chubb secured Chinese government approval to acquire a majority stake in a Chinese firm, Huatai Insurance Group, now owning over 85%. That means billions of dollars in capital, backed by an American company, are now deeply embedded in the CCP’s state-controlled economy, funding our own rival.
If that wasn’t enough, Greenberg sits on the advisory board of Tsinghua University, an institution with direct lines to China’s defense and national security apparatus. Why on earth are leaders of critical American industries advising an institution that helps build the military of our primary global competitor? The question answers itself.
Just Business as Usual?
Naturally, a few D.C. insiders from the swamp’s echo chamber have come to Greenberg’s defense. They claim he’s playing some “backstage role” to communicate American grievances. Are we really supposed to believe that publicly fluffing a dictator’s ego is some kind of 4D chess move for American interests? Please.
This defense rings hollow to everyday Americans who see the obvious. Does fighting for America require calling its enemy a “force for good”? The logic of the swamp is lost on those who believe in principled leadership and unwavering American strength. The truth is far simpler: profit has bulldozed patriotism.
The case of Evan Greenberg is a flashing red warning light. It’s a story about the dangerous rot within a corporate America that has lost its way. While the elites dine with dictators, it is our duty as American patriots to hold them accountable. We must demand that the leaders of our great companies stand for American values, not for the tyrants who seek to destroy them.
Key Takeaways
- Corporate elites are prioritizing profits over American patriotism and national security.
- Decades of economic “engagement” with China have only empowered the communist regime.
- Chubb CEO Evan Greenberg’s own words reveal a troubling deference to our adversaries.
- Americans must hold corporate leaders accountable for their ties to hostile nations.
