"SNIP.....

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Chinese Communist Party wants “international domination” and has embarked on a “global campaign” to sway countries to their side, CNN reports.

.......SNIP"

Meanwhile the GOP undoes democracy and makes people stupid and uninformed which is the antithesis of what democracies need to be strong.

He may be like the broken clock that's right once a day, and he may be shouting "Look over there!" But he's not wrong about China's global ambitions. And the TPP was designed in part to rein in China.

They got the NBA to piss backwards after the Houston Rockets GM tweeted support for Hong Kong protesters. The NBA--players included--so so worried about losing China money that they were willing to forgo their freedom of speech.

At the end of the day, money talks.

17. PNAC - foreign policy initiative

Project for the New American Century

The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was a neoconservative[1][2][3] think tank based in Washington, D.C. that focused on United States foreign policy. It was established as a non-profit educational organization in 1997, and founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan.[4][5] PNAC's stated goal was "to promote American global leadership."[6] The organization stated that "American leadership is good both for America and for the world," and sought to build support for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity."[7]

Of the twenty-five people who signed PNAC's founding statement of principles, ten went on to serve in the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush, including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz.[8][9][10][11] Observers such as Irwin Stelzer and Dave Grondin have suggested that the PNAC played a key role in shaping the foreign policy of the Bush Administration, particularly in building support for the Iraq War.[12][13][14][15] Academics such as Inderjeet Parmar, Phillip Hammond, and Donald E. Abelson have said PNAC's influence on the George W. Bush administration has been exaggerated.[16][17][18]

The Project for the New American Century ceased to function in 2006;[19] it was replaced by a new think-tank named the Foreign Policy Initiative, co-founded by Kristol and Kagan in 2009. The Foreign Policy Initiative was dissolved in 2017.


I doubt it's gone though I wonder what their new brand name is.

China has a long term plan they are executing. The entire country takes great pride in uniting around that plan. They will dominate the next century, that’s already set in stone.
