1. On China: My home was like a little Chinese museum of things that my parents brought back after the fled Shanghai in the spring of 1949. Our folks raised us with a unquestioned respect for China and the Chinese people. As my life advanced I finally came to the decision to

2. finish my undergraduate degree and my focus was on China. I took two years of intensive Chinese, learned to read and write Chinese and studied Chinese politics at the honors level. Then I went to law school in Hawaii and took a class from a member of the Chinese State Council

3. on the new Chinese Joint Venture Law. I had three PRC classmates. Then Tiananmen happened and any hope for a liberal change in China vanished and I decided there was no future for the US or me in an authoritarian China.

We need to impose full Cold War export

4.controls on China and Russia. Nothing has been accomplished to make China and Russia less threats to us. Everything we do makes them more so. They believe our destruction will advance their interests. We need to listen to what they say and make decisions based on our interests.

5.Any company that was foolish enough to build capital projects in China are going to learn it was a mistake. On climate, China's use of coal will destroy the planet. The oil and gas in the South China Sea that China claims in violation of international law is still a recourse

6. than can be exploited to move China off of coal as we all move to renewables. There may be a showdown coming in the SCS and the @INDOPACOM needs to have all our carriers and subs brought to full readiness for war. The Chinese CCP knows that it has to defeat us. And we

7. have to be ready to retool our economy with China under an embargo. Development of Western Hemisphere industrial base can offset the loss of China. Viet Nam was never a threat to the US even though it remains a non-democratic state. I would declare all CCP PNG along with their

8. families. Make being a party operative a road to economic ruin and the party will begin to lose its grip. And make Taiwan an unsinkable aircraft carrier.

Do you ever see reports on Chinese peasants? When I started studying China 1 in 4 people on earth was Chinese. 1 in 5

9. was a Chinese peasant. They were Mao's base and the Capitalist opportunists in Beijing have abandoned them. With the ability to push news to them that is coming from the new space-based internet capability the majority of Chinese can receive news to cut through the state

10. propaganda. The lesson of history is that we must never be seen as the enemy of the Chinese people. Make them our allies. Our comrades in the long march to social justice. Justice that the corrupt CCP denies them.
