Richard Nixon famously moved to open China as a way of separating China from the Soviet Union at the time.

And some neoliberals may have opened our markets to Chinese goods, hoping that free markets would lead to political moderation.

But all that time, China was still our enemy.

The People's Republic of China is a historically mass murdering, currently terror supporting surveillance state of unprecedented proportions directed at destroying America's global hegemony.

And they're taking the long view.

They can wait us out.

and they are taking advantage of our openness to defeat us.

Whether it's stealing literally tens of billions of dollars in IP, stacking American universities with Chinese operatives, or infiltrating our political system, China is, in fact, our geopolitical enemy.

And it's time to fight back.

Today, we'll discuss how to do so.

Plus, we'll get to the legacy media doing the work of the West's enemies, the new inflation report showing the impact of President Trump's Iran operation, and also why Americans are not having babies.

This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

So this week, President Trump is headed on over to China.

He is bringing with him many of the tech leaders, some of his diplomats and top cabinet officials.

While that is happening, it has now been revealed that the mayor of Arcadia, California, which is sort of a mid-major city, a person named Eileen Wang, has now resigned because it turns out that she was a foreign agent, allegedly, of China, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Wang served as mayor of the San Gabriel Valley suburb and entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors over charges she acted under the control of the PRC to promote propaganda in the United States between 2020 and 2022.

From late 2020 through at least 2022, Wang worked with a person named Yaoning Mike Sun, that would be her former fiance, to run a website called US News Center that branded itself as a news source for Chinese Americans.

Both Wang and Sun executed directives from Chinese government officials, posting requested articles, reporting back with screenshots showing how many people viewed the stories according to the plea agreement.

They did propaganda on behalf of the Chinese government is basically what happened.

Turns out that she was mayor of Arcadia.
