For far too long, America has tried to work with China, instead of fight against China, all due to the misguided hope that if the communists were only given enough economic opportunity and treated to the same sort of U.S. foreign policy favoritism as other nations, then the CCP would shed its commie ways and walk a more Western government path. Now the cows have come home. Now it's time to pay the piper. Now the facts are showing that China has simply pretended to work with the West all the while building up its military, its economic influence, its communist propaganda plans, its psychological warfare. China expert and author Bill Gertz says America's missteps on China policy has "created a monster." But it's not too late for America, he says, so long as the political winds shift in the right direction.
