America Fights Back: President Trump’s Response to Xi’s People’s War on Us
CPDC Webinar 2 pm ET, Friday, February 28
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Unbeknownst to most Americans, the Chinese Communist Party has waged “unrestricted warfare” against the United States for decades. In May of 2019, it went even further, declaring in its main propaganda outlet, People’s Daily, a whole-of-society “People’s War” on our country.
In the intelligence business, these are known as clues.
Unfortunately, the U.S. government has chosen to ignore such ominous realities. Until now.
On February 21st, President Trump took action. In a National Security Presidential Memorandum to relevant senior subordinates, he established the “America First Investment Policy” rooted in, among other factors, the following conclusions:
· The PRC does not allow United States companies to take over their critical infrastructure, and the United States should not allow the PRC to take over United States critical infrastructure.”
· “PRC-affiliated investors are targeting the crown jewels of United States technology, food supplies, farmland, minerals, natural resources, ports, and shipping terminals.”
· “The PRC is also increasingly exploiting United States capital to develop and modernize its military, intelligence, and other security apparatuses, which poses significant risk to the United States homeland and Armed Forces of the United States around the world.”
· “Related actions include the development and deployment of dual-use technologies, weapons of mass destruction, advanced conventional weapons, and malicious cyber‑enabled actions against the United States and its people.”
· “Through its national Military-Civil Fusion strategy, the PRC increases the size of its military-industrial complex by compelling civilian Chinese companies and research institutions to support its military and intelligence activities.”
· “Those Chinese companies also raise capital by: selling to American investors securities that trade on American and foreign public exchanges; lobbying United States index providers and funds to include these securities in market offerings; and engaging in other acts to ensure access to United States capital and accompanying intangible benefits.”
· “In this way, the PRC exploits United States investors to finance and advance the development and modernization of its military.”
Consequently, President Trump directed corrective action be taken in several key areas, including:
· “The United States will…use all necessary legal instruments to further deter United States persons from investing in the PRC's military-industrial sector.”
· “The United States will reduce the exploitation of public and private sector capital, technology, and technical knowledge by foreign adversaries such as the PRC.”
· “The United States will establish new rules to stop United States companies and investors from investing in industries that advance the PRC's national Military-Civil Fusion strategy and stop PRC-affiliated persons from buying up critical American businesses and assets, allowing only those investments that serve American interests.”
· “The United States will also use all necessary legal instruments to further deter United States persons from investing in the PRC's military-industrial sector.”
· “It is past time for American universities to stop supporting foreign adversaries with their investment decisions, much as they should stop granting university access to supporters of terrorism.”
· “…The 1984 United States-People's Republic of China Income Tax Convention… along with the PRC's admission to the World Trade Organization and the related undertaking by the United States to accord unconditional Most Favored Nation treatment to goods and services of the PRC, led to the deindustrialization of the United States and the technological modernization of the PRC military. We will seek to reverse both those trends. United States investors will invest in the future of America, not the future of the PRC.”
· “To protect the savings of United States investors and channel them into American growth and prosperity, my Administration will also:
(i) determine if adequate financial auditing standards are upheld…;
(ii) review the variable interest entity and subsidiary structures used by foreign-adversary companies to trade on United States exchanges…; and
(iii) restore the highest fiduciary standards as required by the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, seeking to ensure that foreign adversary companies are ineligible for pension plan contributions.”

This action is long overdue. In my 77 years of life I have seen the erosion of our once strong and vital nation by unscrupulous and unpatriotic entities that used their influence and position to undermine our America. We as Americans must not let the liberal progressive further gain a foothold of our great legacy. I can only hope and pray that all Americans join together to help restore our nation to its past legacy of being a light of goodness and hope to a corrupt word system.
