Biden’s weakness in Ukrainian-Russian conflict only pushes China to a new kind of war

Followed by Russiainvasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin deserves inconspicuous contempt in the world, but not the attention of the United States. After all, although today Russia may be an enemy of the West, in fact it is not a rival. To do this, we must look China.

Putin’s fantasy of reviving the great Russian empire is a fantasy. In fact, Russia is the stale shell of its former self. In a big strategy chess game, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is not a rookie attacking a pawn, but an annoyed child overturning a board.

BIDEN AND XI MEET RUSSIAN WAR AGAINST UKRAINE AND “OTHER ISSUES OF MUTUAL LAW” IN THE RELATIONSHIP

Yes, the United States must help Ukraine and our NATO allies respond to Putin’s aggression. And President Biden must do everything in its power to stifle Russia’s energy industry and unleash our own. But talk of this war, which is dragging the United States into a new global conflict, misses the point: we are already in it and have been for many years.

This is something that China started a long time ago. And this conflict is not a conflict in which the United States has to worry about being “involved,” but a conflict that we will either join or lose.

Today, China is a more dangerous adversary than the Soviet Union at altitude. The Chinese Communist Party enjoys strategic advantages that Moscow has not gained, with greater opportunities to project power around the world.

Five decades of diplomatic cooperation with China and three decades of open trade should leave us with no illusions about the CCP’s ambitions or its ruthless pursuit. Like the Soviet Union, the CCP does not care about murky abstractions such as the “international community” or even its own people, as clearly demonstrated by their social credit system and attitudes toward religious minorities.

As my colleague Ding Chen wrote, “Xi made it clear that China will not tolerate lecturing and will not develop in the directions identified by others. China has its” main interests “in which it will not make concessions – important when considering development events ranging from the South China Sea to human rights, cyberspace and outer space and waiting for a more liberal CCP ”.

Even more important than what we do with Russia or Ukraine is what we do in China.

China is involved in this struggle. The United States still does not. And President Biden’s weakness towards Ukraine only encourages them even more. Consider how China has undermined economic sanctions against the Russian economy through new oil and gas deals. It is time for the United States to take the CCP at its word and treat it as a dangerous strategic adversary as they are.

How?

Congress and the president can begin to finally figure out our relationship as a relationship of true adversaries rather than friendly rivals.

All CCP members and other Chinese citizens should be barred from researching national security funded by federal contracts and grants, as well as owning land near U.S. national security facilities. Americans should also be barred from investing in any firms affiliated with the Chinese military or surveillance state.

We need to revive the Chinese Initiative, a very effective project of the Ministry of Justice aimed at Chinese espionage, which President Biden has just stopped. We need to hold CCP leaders and lackeys accountable for their atrocities, from what happened at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2019 to the ethnic cleansing of China’s Uighur minority.

U.S. leaders must also be held personally accountable if their businesses knowingly provide technological assistance to human rights abuses in Beijing. In addition, Chinese media and officials should be downloaded from American social networks. The introduction of CCP propaganda into America’s domestic political debate is a Great technology at worst.

Diplomatically, we need to stop negotiating meaningless climate agreements and nuclear arms control agreements that bind us and our allies, but allow China to continue to produce carbon and warheads to its liking. We also need to start building a permanent, sustainable Chinese economy through strategic economic demarcation. This means working with allies to build strategic reserves of important electronics and essential crude, rare earth minerals, new manufacturing and production facilities – especially in important areas such as energy and pharmaceuticals – with the clear aim of excluding China from the US supply chain.

If we strategically leave China, we must strategically take Taiwan – diplomatically, economically and militarily, including selling them as many weapons as they want to buy. This approach is neither an escalation nor a provocation. It is an awareness of how we see China and how China sees the world. America is not interested in starting another Cold War, but we are interested in winning the one that Beijing started against us many years ago.

On Tuesday, Russian shelling hit civilian targets in Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, and a 40-mile convoy of tanks and other vehicles threatened the capital – a tactic the Ukrainian president said was designed to force him to make concessions in the largest ground war in Europe for recent generations.

And it is in the context of this new Cold War that we must see all our strategic challenges, including Putin’s war against Ukraine. Even more important than what we are doing with Russia or Ukraine is what we are doing in China, and whether they view the United States as a formidable adversary or a declining and indecisive superpower.

For us, whether we like it or not, the most important theater of Putin’s war in Ukraine is not Kyiv and not Moscow, but Beijing. If Biden lacks the courage and determination to fight the CCP, he will never be able to deal with Putin.
