Part I:

Chairman Xi Jinping is under the impression that China, or the "Middle Kingdom," is the only sovereign state in the world

Gordon Chang argues that Xi knew exactly what he was doing when he allowed for the coronavirus to spread across the world - The Chinese Communist Party understood five weeks in advance that the coronavirus was transmittable person-to-person

Xi strong-armed countries into accepting flights/travelers from China right as Wuhan was up under lockdown

Part II: 

Evidence that China is heading towards becoming a totalitarian state, again - Social Credit System

Elements of Chinese interference in the 2020 election run deep: Global Times, the Chinese foreign ministry, bot social media accounts

Unconfirmed reports of Chinese protestors in the US coordinating with the central government in Beijing

Part III: 

The Chinese Communist Party used the Coronavirus to further its domination in Hong Kong and continues to suppress any and all forms of dissent within the once "semi-autonomous" region

Taiwan is becoming more and more anti-China and has, in recent years, moved very clearly towards the side of the US, Japan and India

China is building a port in the Bahamas, only 70 miles from West Palm Beach, Florida 

Part IV:

Chang asks why the US does not block Chinese apps, when in fact China blocks US apps? 

In order to counter a dubious actor like China, the next US administration must work to cut off all ties to the Chinese Communist regime
