Chinese Spies on Student Visas 00:02:23
In the Alliance of Evil, you gave 16 indicators of a new dual Cold War-like future with China and Russia pitted against the U.S. and her allies.
Share some of those with us that you see developing right now or that have already developed.
Well, certainly espionage is a big one.
We have thousands and thousands of spies in the United States from China.
Some of them come over as so-called students on student visas.
Others come over as diplomats and are really scarfing up our secrets.
You may recall a year ago down in, I think it was Houston or Austin, one of the other, where a consulate was closed by the Trump administration because they were using that as basically a haven to gather intelligence and then ship it back to China.
We have seen the spy network, whether it's cyber or humans.
You remember the Congressman Shaw, I think it is, out of San Francisco that had a Chinese spy working as his personal assistant, apparently, and there's probably more to it based on the media reports.
Certainly Diane Feinstein had a spy, a Chinese spy working as her driver for 20 years.
Washington has a lot of spies, and the rest of the country has a lot of spies, whether they're in academic positions, and many are, and we've arrested some, or they're sitting over somewhere in China, you know, scarfing up our cyber intelligence and trying to infiltrate into various web situations, networks, and the like.
So espionage is a big issue.
It cost us arguably between $600 billion and $1 trillion annually in intellectual property and the like.
Chinese Military Expansion Worldwide 00:02:49
I would say that the military buildup is another major indicator of the new Cold War.
Earlier, I alluded to the radical transformation of the People's Liberation Army from the year 2000 to the present, 20 years.
They have radically invested, and they intend, according to President Qi, to be a world-class military by 2035.
Basically, that means on par with the United States by 2035.
They pour every ounce of capability and investment they can into that military.
They've expanded that military around the world.
It used to be primarily homebound, but now you're beginning to see military bases, Chinese military bases, in places like Djibouti and Myanar, which just recently had a coup, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia.
You see everywhere the Belt and Road Initiative is, which is the big financial arm leverage of Beijing, you will find that in the Panama Canal and various places in South America,
various ports in Europe, certainly all throughout Africa, the Middle East, even in the Arctic, you'll find communist Chinese soldiers either in uniform or behind the scenes.
Anywhere the Chinese go, they always think secondary uses for the facilities that they're buying, and they're investing all over the world.
So, if they buy a port such as the one they've bought in Greece, they will think about how they would use it as a military facility as well, even though up front they never announced that sort of thing.
So, the military expansion, the technology expansion, whether selling 5G so that they can manipulate machines around the world, because that's really what 5G is about.
And then, of course, you know, just alliances, Russian alliances, exercises they conduct, the intimidation they do.
During the old Cold War, and I was a Cold Warrior in Europe, and I saw a lot of Russian and East Bloc intimidation.
Chinese Missile Test in South China Sea 00:02:33
We see that again with ships threatening our ships, air threatening our aviation.
These types of things are fairly common.
Nuclear actions, the Chinese are not at all forward, acknowledging what they have.
We don't think they have a giant nuclear capability, but they're working on things like these hyper-moving devices that can move thousands of miles an hour in a short period of time, hypersonics.
They're working on other technologies, cruise missiles that are anti-air, anti-ship and anti-access capabilities.
This past summer, the Chinese tested from the mainland idea, this sea, what was it, the peninsula south of Hong Kong.
I think it's Lei Jiao.
Yeah, that's the peninsula.
They launched a missile and they struck it in the South China Sea.
Well, that was a message to us because we've tried to maintain freedom of access throughout the South China Sea, and yet the Chinese have claimed using what they call the nine-dash line, they've claimed 1.3 million square miles of the South China Sea, which is claimed, of course, by the Filipinos and by the Vietnamese and the Malaysians and so forth.
But they say it's their sovereign territory.
And so, here recently, in the last six months, they test-fired a missile that struck a ship that was moving through there.
And of course, that communicates to us that freedom of navigation through international waters is going to be contested in the future.
And in the last two weeks, of course, the USS Roosevelt and then the John McCain were in the South China Sea demonstrating our pushback against the Chinese.
There are 16 of these, Pastor.
I can go through them all, but I think you get the indication that these people are serious against us, and they have every intention of being the world hegemon, the world power.
