China wants the West to know it loves “openness,” “inclusiveness,” and “cooperation,” Communist dictator Xi Jinping told the World Economic Forum on Jan. 25. This is the same Jinping who is perpetrating the Xinjiang genocide and working to crush freedom from Hong Kong to Taiwan and far beyond.
It is long past time America stop thinking about its commercial relations with China in terms of doing business with a normal power, and separating such business from strategic concerns. For the CCP, business exists to help it retain and grow its power, through increasing its wealth, the dependency of other nations on it, augmenting its technological and military capabilities, pilfering information that provides it leverage over others, and at every turn using commercial ties to grow its sphere of influence.
