In an excellent segment on Tuesday’s edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host explained how U.S. elites are getting rich by collaborating with the ruling Chinese Communist Party dictatorship. Perhaps it gives a new meaning to China virus.

Fat-cats, including Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, have presided over massive and devastating outsourcing of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China as well as doing next to nothing about country’s intellectual property theft. The fact that our country is dependent on China’s supply chain is also a national security threat, which could be exacerbated by the coronavirus-related industrial slowdown there.

President Trump is the only president in recent memory who has tried to level the playing field with China.

Watch the entire segment below.

Will the international economic, political, and military ambitions of China’s regime come up in tonight’s Democrat presidential debate in Nevada?

In addition to U.S. big business — including the NBA — which has caved, in various ways, to China for short-term profits, “the entire sleazy academic world, and it’s one of the sleaziest, is addicted to Chinese money,” Carlson asserted.

As this blog has previously noted, when China was admitted to the World Trade Organization, the West foolishly expected that it could export free-market democracy to China. Instead, China’s communist regime has exported censorship to the West.

Carlson added the following:

“Maybe more than anyone in America, [Michael] Bloomberg represents the beliefs and values of our current aristocracy, which is by far the worst in American history, the stupidest, the most greedy. Not surprisingly, Bloomberg has both kowtowed to the Chinese and gotten rich from the Chinese.”

“The saddest and most infuriating part is that none of this needed to happen. China didn’t just one day magically overtake us. Our leaders made it possible,” Carlson concluded. “They betrayed us.”

On Monday evening, Carlson revealed how the huge California pension fund (CALPERS) helps fund the CCP army.

On a micro level, you’ve probably noticed how the Shark Tank investors often pressure entrepreneurs to make their products overseas instead of in America to increase “margins.”
