So, look what the Soviets did in the Cold War.

It's a playbook really hasn't changed that much.

They called it active measures.

The Soviets made a very professional effort to sow discord in the United States.

And the Chinese have inherited those lessons, and in many ways, they've refined them and they've made them more sophisticated and more effective.

And the goal is to use organizations that are partisan, that are extreme, that sow disunity and disharmony within American society to create wedges that make us vulnerable to the CCP's division.

And the more divided we are, the harder it is for us to resist the CCP's ultimate political objective, which is global hegemony.

And the American people are the last bulwark against CCP hegemony.
