Because China first said, because Washington believed the lie, when China said, oh, these are just going to be weather stations or search and rescue locations.

Yeah, no.

They were full-on military bases.

And now...

They're even pushing into Korean waters.

Just two weeks ago, they plunked down a used oil rig saying, oh, it's just a fishing station.

And of course, I'm sure within months you'll see missiles, radars, all the rest on this jack-up rig just off the coast of Korea.

So they are expansionist.

It's called salami slicing.

They take very thin slices.

And they just keep moving the fence.

Trump, in the first administration, China was like the neighbor that builds their fence into your yard and moves it a foot a year.

And Trump's the first one that said, get the hell back on your side of the line.

And so what he's been doing on trade negotiations, all the rest, has definitely put them a bit on their back foot.

And the Chinese government is making some very unmarket decisions

in preparing for war.

And if you look at Xi's speeches, not the ones that they're necessarily public, but the ones that are eventually located and translated when he's speaking to the standing committee or the Politburo, he says, prepare for a great conflict.

This is going to happen, very obvious.

And things like Chinese state-owned enterprise, if they have land holdings in the United States, a lot of real estate stuff,

Yes, there's problems with Chinese owning land in the United States.
