China’s Stealth War against America 3.97 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 07/23/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 93) Background Briefing – China’s Stealth War against America, the World, and You! China is waging a stealth war against America and the world, yet many do not understand the long-term implications. It has gone beyond kinetic warfare and into monetary policy, trade policy, and industrial policy. This briefing provides a quick overview of how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging their economic war around the world and their continued plans to use 5G to control the information economy. Also, we will review some of the efforts the Trump administration is taking to slow down China’s assault. Unfortunately, there are still many on Wall Street and within Washington who view China as an economic partner that America needs rather than an adversary that is truly working against our interest, free markets, and liberty. We are in an economic war, and what we see as a marketplace, China views as the battlespace. Your Mission: To understand what you can do to stop the economic war China is waging against your money, your livelihood, your way of life is critical. “The Chinese Communist Party really is what it sounds like. It’s communist. It’s a Marxist/Leninist regime bent on control…using predatory or parasitic economic activity and policies to actually undermine democracies.” – Brig. Gen. Robert Spalding (ret) page 1 China’s Stealth War against America 3.97 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 07/23/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 93) Ep. 3-97 (OSINT) Open Sourced Intelligence Briefing with highlights. This includes quotes and summaries of conversations in the Economic War Room with Kevin Freeman featuring Brigadier General Robert Spalding. General Spalding holds doctorates in mathematics and economics and served as the senior director for strategic planning at the National Security Council. He brings recent insight from the White House regarding exactly what we’re facing, what we need to do, and how co-opted our nation has become. America’s “elite” have been compromised by China, whether it’s 5G, academia, Hollywood, or the business community. He is author of the powerful book, Stealth War, How China Took Over While America’s Elites Slept. “They create this drain of wealth to China to enable them to provide jobs for the Chinese people. This allows the CCP to continue to stay in charge, but also allows them to develop the kind of technology for an I.T.-based digital totalitarian society. They monitor everything that you do and score you based on the quality of citizen you are, based on what the Chinese Communist Party finds desirable in its citizens. It’s really about enslaving an entire population of 1.4 billion people, using the technology that America created.” –General Robert Spalding Stealth war and the Indoctrination of the Chinese People. Guess who is next? “When I lived there from 2002-2004 as a young Air Force major, I was a student at one of the universities in Shanghai and I got to meet so many of the people. They told me, ‘you know, democracy is not for China, it’s not for the Chinese people.’” –General Robert Spalding Yet, look at Taiwan and Hong Kong, the same people and the success they have had in a free market. Hong Kong – operating as promised with one country, two systems. It has energy and capitalism and freedom and liberty. Now China is taking that away early instead of what was promised as a 2047 transition. • The Hong Kong people thought that they were going to remain autonomous, maintain their democracy and maintain their independence. • The media didn’t talk about this, but they announced in December of 2019 that they were going to essentially crush the freedoms of the people of Hong Kong, just like they did for the people of the mainland after the Tiananmen massacre. page 2 China’s Stealth War against America 3.97 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 07/23/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 93) “The citizens of China are good people who have been indoctrinated and lied to for years.” –Kevin Freeman China has consistently lied to their people, and now they are lying about COVID-19 • Look at how they’ve been using the distraction of the coronavirus to systematically destroy the freedoms of Hong Kong. • Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has declared that Hong Kong is no longer sufficiently autonomous for special recognition. • This will fundamentally alter the economic relationship with China going forward as a way to punish the Chinese Communist Party for what they’ve done. “The Chinese Communist Party has unleashed this virus, COVID-19, the CCP virus, or whatever you want to call it. And they lied to their people about that, too. It is that complete. Almost mind control.” –Kevin Freeman “If you read articles from people that have come out of China and gone through this deep programing, they understand that everything that they’ve been taught since the time that they were in kindergarten all the way up through university is essentially a lie. It really demonstrates how powerful the system, the digital control that they’ve built over their entire population. There’s two cameras for every person. They monitor everything that you do on the smartphone and then they turn that around and use it to really control the type of person that you are.” –General Robert Spalding “What I’m trying to do is raise awareness. That’s really what the book Stealth War is about, understanding that competition has really gone beyond geography. It’s gone beyond ships and tanks and bombs and planes and all of those weapons that we think of as national security. It’s really gone into monetary policy. It’s gone into trade policy. It’s gone into industrial policy, page 3 China’s Stealth War against America 3.97 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 07/23/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 93) and the day-to-day things that we do as a part of national security. The Chinese Communist Party figured out that they could harness globalization and the Internet to both undermine our democracy and our economy and really gain a competitive advantage in geopolitics.” –General Robert Spalding 2. China is winning the economic war using the Parasite Approach: “The unfortunate thing is, is we see this pattern over and over with China, where they suck you in, they talk about the economic benefits they’re going to bring and so forth, and then they bait and switch on you. We’ve definitely seen that with the Belt and Road Initiative.” –Kevin Freeman A. China’s Belt and Road Initiative • The Chinese Communist Party has actually been able to infiltrate the World Bank. • The World Bank is supposed to be for those developing economies that need, below market funding to build infrastructure. • China has secured the ability to get over a billion dollars each year out of the World Bank at very low interest rates, and then turn around through the Belt and Road Initiative, to loan that money to countries at much higher rates. And, they gain control and influence through those loans. • China is essentially profiting on a system that was designed to help emerging market economies. • This Belt and Road Initiative is about dominating the emerging market economies, forcing them to accept China’s terms and really to become a tributary state of the Chinese Communist Party. “Isn’t this design kind of a parasite approach? It’s a parasite approach, where the CCP gets in the middle and sucks up all the good stuff and then takes control from the rest of it. That’s scary. But this is a nation that’s violated human rights repeatedly. There are things like the one-child policy where there were forced abortions. I guess now it’s a two-child policy. Then there’s the organ harvesting page 4 China’s Stealth War against America 3.97 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 07/23/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 93) that they’ve done, the social credit scores that you’ve talked about. I mean, this is not a nation that really shows that it loves its people. It is a state that wants to have total control.” –Kevin Freeman 3. A few CCP elites control the masses in China. • China has a population of 1.4 billion. There are about 80 million party members. But in reality, about 200 people control the entire system. • This control is really to benefit themselves. They have properties in New York City and assets all around the world. “Most of the leaders are billionaires in their own right. So, basically not only are they predatory on democracies, predatory on emerging market economies, but the party itself is predatory over its own people. So, it provides jobs for the Chinese people in order to be able to skim off the top and really take that money for themselves. It’s really a really horrendous system and we’ve enabled it.” –General Robert Spalding “They’re using our technology, things that we developed that they’ve either purchased or stolen by intellectual property theft or forced technology transfer. Come to China and you can sell your products in a great big market and then they’ve stolen the technology and used it to control their people.” –Kevin Freeman 4. China plans to use Huawei to dominate the global 5G platform and you. Huawei is really about a program to dominate the global information space.
