Xi Jinping is No "Friend" of America, Mr. President
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
President Trump is talking up his new “friendship” with China’s president, Xi Jingping. It’s a potentially grave, if common, mistake when leaders believe that personal chemistry counts more than national interests.
Specifically, Mr. Trump is seeking help on North Korea from a guy who has gotten to the top of the Chinese power structure by being a ruthless nationalist, who regards the United States as a usurper of China’s rightful role as the world’s greatest power.
Before investing more in his relationship with such a man, President Trump would be well advised to read a formidable new study by the National Association of Scholars entitled, Outsourced to China. It documents the PRC’s insidious influence operations on U.S. college campuses – a reminder that taking us down, not helping us out, is the goal of Xi Jingping and his regime.
