The graveyard of empires is filled with nations that trusted the smiles of their enemies. History’s lesson is brutal and simple: the most lethal threats rarely announce themselves with marching armies. Instead, they arrive in expensive suits, offering deals and partnerships that promise prosperity but deliver servitude. This is the poison pill of global politics, wrapped in the sweet language of cooperation.
Today, that same tired, dangerous song is on repeat, and bafflingly, some are still eager to dance to it. We see leaders of nations—nations forged in the fires of liberty—jetting off to meet with autocrats, smiling for the cameras as if they’re cutting a ribbon at a new shopping mall. They talk of “resetting relations” while ignoring the glaring truth that you cannot reset the character of a regime that is fundamentally hostile to freedom.
Of course, the professional diplomatic class and the chattering media see this as sophisticated statecraft. Thankfully, President Donald Trump does what they refuse to do: he speaks the plain, unvarnished truth.
From ‘Fox News’:
“Well, it’s very dangerous for them to do that,” Trump said. “And it’s even more dangerous, I think, for Canada to get into business with China.”
Trump added that China was not the solution for Western economies despite his personal relationship with Xi. “I know China very well. I know President Xi is a friend of mine, and I know him very well, but that’s a big hurdle to get over,” he said.
The President’s sharp warning was a direct shot across the bow, aimed at British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent pilgrimage to Beijing. While our oldest ally was busy getting played by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), President Trump once again took on the lonely job of being the adult in the room.
The siren song of Beijing’s promises
Mr. Starmer emerged from his meeting declaring it “very productive.” But what did this supposed productivity yield? A few minor concessions on whisky tariffs and visa rules. These aren’t diplomatic victories; they are the table scraps a predator leaves behind to keep its prey docile. The CCP happily trades these trinkets to create a veneer of partnership, all while advancing its master plan to systematically dismantle the West.
The highlight of this political theater had to be Xi Jinping delivering a lecture on “international law.” It was a masterclass in hypocrisy from a communist dictator whose regime crushes dissent, enslaves minorities, and threatens its neighbors. For a leader of the free world to sit there and absorb that without walking out is an act of stunning weakness. It’s not just poor diplomacy; it’s a dangerous abdication of moral clarity.
A pattern of global deception
Let’s be clear. For decades, the Chinese Communist Party has been waging a quiet war against America and its allies. Their goal has never been peaceful competition; it has always been total domination. They have pursued this by sucking the lifeblood out of American industry, stealing our technology, and using economic leverage to force our corporations and politicians into silence.
Every factory we outsourced, every supply chain we handed over, and every dollar we invested was used to build the machine that now seeks our destruction. China’s entire strategy is to make us dependent, to entangle our economies so deeply that we become unable to resist their political will. They don’t want a seat at the table; they want to own the table and burn ours for firewood. They do not want to compete with the West. They want to end it.
The choice facing the West is simple: capitulation or strength. We can follow the path of our timid allies, chasing short-term profits straight off a cliff, or we can stand with a leader who understands the stakes. This is not just another political debate. It is a fight for the survival of our values, our liberty, and our entire way of life.
Key Takeaways
- President Trump correctly identifies that engaging with Communist China is incredibly dangerous.
- Our allies are naively trading long-term national security for trivial economic benefits.
- The Chinese Communist Party’s ultimate goal is the complete downfall of the West.
- Strong, America First leadership is the only effective defense against Chinese aggression.
