Donald Trump has reportedly decided U.S. military and civilian federal government employees must not be compelled to invest their retirement funds in Chinese Communist Party companies. Sinclair Broadcasting’s James Rosen reports the President has said, “We can’t allow this to move forward. This needs to stop.”

That should be a no-brainer. For one thing, doing otherwise risks Thrift Savings Plan beneficiaries’ savings in non-transparent, unaccountable CCP corporations with undisclosed material risk. Some help the Communist regime oppress its own people, others help it threaten ours. And the TSP investing $50 billion in China now would reward the pandemic’s perpetrators.

Mr. Trump will doubtless come under excruciating pressure to reverse course – from Beijing, naturally, but also from the powerful China Lobby on Wall Street. The President needs to know we have his back. Please sign a petition telling him so at PresentDangerChina.org.
