Yeah, because China has waged this economic world war and especially against the United States and stole so much of our wealth and built up their economy, it gives them tremendous influence in the United States. I write in the book that you haven't seen a movie with a Chinese villain in a very long time. That's because all those movie studios depend on access to the Chinese movie market.
Also, every major news network besides Fox News is owned or affiliated with one of those movie studios. And is it any surprise that Fox News is the toughest network on China that does the most hard hitting reporting about China? I don't think so. Consider what happened in the NBA. It's probably China's their biggest overseas market.

You had the general manager of the Houston Rockets merely posting a symbol on social media saying he supported Hong Kongers fighting for their freedom. And China took Houston Rockets TVs off or games off their streaming services, took their merchandise out of stores. You had NBA players like LeBron James and Stephen Kerr cracking down on the GM of the Rockets.

Or just look at what happened to me five years ago when I first said this week, five years ago, that the coronavirus pandemic might have come from that lab, not from a food market. I expected Chinese communist officials to criticize me, but I also had American elites coming down on me, calling me a conspiracy theorist at The Washington Post and The New York Times and CNN and so forth.

So China has built up a large influence network throughout our society and our government of people who are ready to man the ramparts and defend China. It's not just traditional spies and espionage. It's this massive degree of influence they have in every corner of American society.

Well, so Taiwan has been increasing its spending on its military, not fast enough, in my opinion, and not necessarily on the right things. They need to be singularly focused on adding more and more time to the amount of time it would take communist China to subdue the island so other friendly nations can come to its aid. What are the things that we can do?

We need to make sure that we significantly increased our munitions manufacturing capability. We've seen in Ukraine and in the war in Gaza against Hamas that we're strained in what we can provide to our allies. We need that capability to build up here in America so we can support our allies and defend our interest in the Western Pacific.

We need to invest in shipbuilding so we have a navy that can actually deter Chinese aggression. We need to be buying more stealth bombers and stealth fighters to do the same. Our army needs more air and missile defenses and long-range strike capabilities so they can defend our positions in the Western Pacific. Here's what we can do domestically.
