Miles Yu, a historian and strategist who helped shape the Trump Administration’s China policy, is urging President Joe Biden not to let the Chinese propagandists take advantage of him.
Yu’s warning follows the Biden Administration’s first high-level talk with Chinese diplomats, which took place earlier this month in Anchorage, Alaska. As I wrote in a previous article (click here), the meeting began with an unusually harsh exchange that reporters caught on film.
At the start of the meeting, Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi criticized the US on human rights. He cited the Black Lives Matter protests and accused the US delegation of speaking to him in a “condescending way” after Sec. of State Antony Blinken described a number of Chinese activities as ‘threatening the rules-based order that maintains global stability.’
Yang is a man known for his diplomatic finesse. His uncharacteristic aggression suggests he has clear orders from the CCP to act this way, explains Yu. Though it is “absolutely crazy” for him to lecture the US on the virtues of democracy given China’s long pattern of human rights abuses.
The Chinese delegation didn’t come to Alaska to solve problems, but to promote their own agenda, continues Yu.
“They are here to basically try to discredit American democracy, try to score a cheap shot…They come here basically to shift the focus of the real issue of the day, which is the global challenges posed by the Chinese Communist Party.”
Those challenges include:
- The takeover of Hong Kong and expected takeover of Taiwan
- The Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure project
- Aggression in the South China Sea
- Religious persecution of Uighur Muslims
- Intellectual property theft and cyberattacks
- The infiltration of America’s educational institutions
- The recent deal with Russia to construct a moon base
- The possible manufacture and release of COVID-19
- Plans to replace India as the international figurehead of Buddhism
- The growing presence of Chinese media in Western countries
- The recent cooperation deal with Iran.
According to polls, public opinion of the CCP in the US, Canada, and other nations has reached a historic low. Up to 70% of Americans think the government should stand up to China’s human rights abuses if even it damages bilateral ties.
“We Americans criticize our system because we wish our system to be better,” continues Yu. “When the Chinese Communist Party criticizes the American system, it doesn’t wish us well. It challenges the foundation of American democracy. It basically tries to destroy the entire system of freedom and democracy.”
Moving forward, Yu urged Joe Biden and his administration to create a China policy with “unapologetic strength” and “self-confidence in our own democratic system.”

Impeach Biden.
Evil does not respect kindness or platitudes it only respects strength of will. The CCP isn’t about collectivism as we understand it. In the Chinese Communist Party the only thing that matters is gathering strength and extending reach of power. When we speak of globalists we in the United States have a basis of democracy as our reference and therefore imagine a global government that would be based on such ideals. The CCP sees global governance in a very different way. Their concept of global power is based on the Maoist concept of rights only belonging to the party and the individual had no rights. No God would be acceptable and no human rights accepted that doesn’t serve the all mighty CCP. This is an important distinction as those in the United States who see the future of globalism as the best thing for humanity. They simply don’t understand how the Communist mind works. Clearly those who ascribe to these concepts are either naive or so enamored with power they are blind to the realities we face. If history teaches us anything it’s that centralization of power leads to loss of human rights to whatever end is necessary. Mass extermination is justified under Communist rule. Biden is seen as week in his own nation and the world at large is no different. We should recall how badly glad handing turned out under the Carter administration. Carter had only good intentions but evil doesn’t respect kindness. It only sees it as weakness.
