Now can we talk about China?

 

Chinese forces today are surrounding Taiwan with massive air, sea and other military operations – the kind of exercises from which the Taiwanese defense minister has previously said the People’s Liberation Army could roll directly into actual combat without warning.

 

Meanwhile, Xi Jinping’s Mini-Me, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, has mobilized artillery units on the border with South Korea. Such forces could deliver a devastating diversionary attack on Seoul at any time.

 

Donald Trump has just warned about the danger posed by enemies within who may engage in violence here. Did you know that among them are many thousands of Chinese soldiers?

 

American voters must be informed about the prospect of an imminent shooting war with the Chinese Communist Party, with candidates explicitly telling us what they would do to deter and, if necessary, to defeat that threat.
