And how did this happen?
The US and the west moved their manufacturing might to the cheap (slave) labour of communism. This gave the CCP the money they needed to buy their way into every nation.
We need to, as private free citizens, do our part and NOT purchase the CCP products-stop funding their tyrannical regime.
And as we saw, they have also taken human hostages (the two Canadian Michaels).
The CCP is un-trustworthy, hostile, aggressive, and is a REAL threat to world peace and security. Who do not recognize international laws (see the south china sea), have interment camps, are massive polluters, make cheap garbage that quickly needs to be replaced adding to wastes in landfills, etc.
Once again, do your part.
Stop supporting this regime and their spreading of communism.
