Says "engaged in a full-court blitzkrieg" against the U.S.

--

U.S. Attorney General William Barr believes China — not Russia — is America's biggest geopolitical threat and claimed Wednesday that China is currently "engaged in a full-court blitzkrieg" against the U.S.

In an interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Barr spoke plainly about the nature of China's aggressive actions against the U.S., which he says includes wide-scale technology theft and concerted efforts to influence elections.

"The Chinese are engaged in a full-court blitzkrieg of stealing American technology, trying to influence our political system, trying to steal secrets at our research universities and so forth — and we are focused on it,"

Former Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz

Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz on Thursday agreed with Attorney General Bill Barr on the notion that China is the biggest threat to the United States.

“Long term and short term, China has the resources and they’re generally much smarter and much quieter about how they go about corporate espionage, espionage on our government and on our military,” the former Utah Republican congressman told “Fox & Friends.”

As far as nations go, China is the #1 threat, due to their population size, country size, economy, manufacturing base, access to Western and Japanese technology and Nationalist mindset, with the later being a threat because of their size and overwhelmingly homogenous national composition.
 
The Equifax hack by the Chinese military should have resulted in severe punishment.
 
Is Russia really much of a threat beyond the dog-backed-into-a-corner effect? They've got a hugely disproportionate mean military bite, but no real staying power on the global stage. At least, not like they had 30 years ago. They're a B- grade power with an A- grade military.
 
Yeah, it is known.

They implement a top-down, state-directed strategy of intransigent policies, acts and practices which both deliberately and indirectly undercut American output, competitiveness, investment, research, development, innovation and strategic domestically spawned industries which serve as invaluable sources of high wage employment, global exports, sustained economic growth and national security. As found by virtually every bipartisan commission and panel ever assembled.

Yes? Not much to argue with there. Russia has a similar GDP to Texas. They arent an economic threat in any meaningful way.

China is the second largest economy. China is aware of how corporatism works, and is happy to take advantage.
 
Shouldnt we finish off those sand farmers weve been defending freedom against for the last 20 years, first?
 
It's fine. China makes the 1% very rich. No big. Move along.
 
It's a good thing the CCP isn't food secure.

Quiet, Barr is letting China know it's our admin's job, not there's to fuck up America.

the Tuskan raiders can wait, gotta deal with The Death Star first.

They scare easily, but they'll soon be back- and in greater numbers.

Alexander The Great, the United States is not.

Seriously though, Afghanistan has been a historical bitch-and-a-half for anyone that has ever engaged wading through and dealing with it. He lost nearly as many soldiers in one day there as he had conquering all of the lands between the Mediterranean Sea and Eastern Persia. It wasn't really his thing to deliberately slaughter civilians, but that was disproportionately amped up as well.

The Mongols did conquer Afghanistan . Their descendants in that area are the Hazara, who live in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It's not like there's more than a half dozen posters I can discuss this kind of shit with in detail. I even create threads dedicated to them. :eek::eek::eek:g0ts need to step their knowledge up, or I'm bringing the parade everywhere I go (and I don't even actually fuck with those).

Chi-na will pay. The world will turn on them and the Globalists are coming right to their doorstep this time for crashing the entire world economy. India will fill their gap for cheap production.

China's average wages have also increased by around 155% from what they were a decade ago. Many of the (non-semiconductor) US companies with manufacturing capacity aren't just there for the cheap labor but rather market access. There's various industries Beijing has only let foreign firms operate through joint ventures in which state-backed Chinese partners hold the majority stake. There's been a recent shift towards Vietnam.

It also has a centralized R&D model with world-class science and technology institutions -- particularly the Max Planck Gesellschaft, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung, Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren und Leibniz-Gemeinschaft.

The MPG (formerly Kaiser Wilhelm) is an umbrella organization with 80+ separate institutes dedicated and spread through every field and sub-field of the physical and life sciences. In terms of individual output, it's easily top three on a global scale.
