An excellent article published today in Canada’s National Post on Wednesday succinctly explains how the Biden Administration, the Trudeau regime in Canada, Big Tech and Big Business, along with advocates for global warming mitigation, are enabling CCP-controlled China’s rise to global dominance.

Esteemed author and analyst Joel Kotkin contends in part, that authoritarian China aims “to create vassal states — subordinate countries that rule themselves but are expected to kowtow on command.”

He goes on to explain the following (emphasis added) in the essay headlined “China wants to vassalize the West — Trudeau and Biden want to let it.”

[I]t’s the biggest elite that constitute the most consequential backers of China. Wall Street investors and many of our leading manufacturing companies — notably Apple — have benefited massively, while costing an estimated 3.4 million job losses in the U.S. since China’s inclusion in the World Trade Organization in 2001. China now enjoys a market share in manufactured exports roughly equal to the U.S. and Germany combined…

Silicon Valley constitutes another pro-China bastion. Firms like Apple may be “headquartered” in California, but more than 90 per cent of iPhones, iPads and MacBooks are made in China.

Despite their tentative moves to places like India, where costs are lower, the tech elite have become China’s ultimate enablers, with venture capital firms raising billions to fund new companies in the Middle Kingdom. Having played an outsized role in building up China’s massive tech sector, Apple plans to share its technology and also source some of its chips from there. Silicon Valley venture capitalists are also investing heavily in Chinese artificial intelligence startups.

Your average tech oligarch may pose as a progressive visionary, but most seem fine with using factories staffed by Chinese slave labor and powered largely by coal...

Yet arguably the biggest boon to China’s ambitions comes from climate change policies that seek to limit both consumption and production in the West…

These environmental groups are becoming key assets in China’s existential struggle with the West. Green policies could further enhance China’s industrial supremacy by making western energy both more expensive and less reliable.

China, of course, gives lip service to environmental goals, but produces more greenhouse gases than the entire developed world. The adoption of electric vehicle mandates, including bans on gas cars, seems suited to destroy many of the last good jobs for blue-collar workers in North America…

Meanwhile, China is building scores of new coal plants, feeding the Chinese industrial machine, while western countries make producing goods at home increasingly uncompetitive…

In addition to allegedly influencing Canada’s political process, Kotkin claims that “In the United States, too, China has placed agents close to powerful political figures in Congress, while President Joe Biden’s own family appears to have benefited from close business ties with Beijing.”

As this blog have previously maintained, the globalist geniuses and other useful idiots (to borrow a Cold War term) who thought it was a just fine to outsource the supply chain — and massive numbers of American jobs — to a country controlled by the Communist Party of China have some explaining to do.
