Biden Administration China Ties Reveal a Deeper Disturbing Truth

The associations between members of the Joe Biden administration and Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked individuals and entities are incredibly disturbing.

As I have written at length, by dint of such ties, and past dutiful service to administrations that pursued the very policies of engagement and accommodation that enabled Communist China's rise, the president, and the architects of his agenda, will be—and already have been—uniquely soft on China.

But as disturbing as the backgrounds are of those Biden staffers who will be developing and executing this likely uniquely detrimental policy, what is perhaps even more disturbing is just how common such backgrounds are among those who would be tapped for such positions.

This is because those seeking high-level positions in government, particularly in the realm of national security and foreign policy, typically hail from a Ruling Class that is largely captured by China. That our elites are so inextricably intertwined with, and therefore deeply influenced by Beijing, is one of the many reasons the China challenge to America today far exceeds that posed by the Soviet Union decades ago.

I’ve got the story in a new piece at Newsweek.

As I conclude:

We have helped create our most formidable adversary. In the process, our Ruling Class has been corrupted by it. Absent a new elite, it is unclear how this ends well for the ruled.
