GOP Rep. Bacon: "I do think this was a PR disaster for the White House. When you tell everybody you're going to release everything, that you have the names of all the clients, and then you then you come back and say, 'oh, there was none.' This was a self-inflicted wound by the White House."

Having established economic leverage over the U.S., China now feels emboldened to reassert its four “red lines.” But these aren’t just a laundry list of interests; they represent critical areas of vulnerability for the CCP.
China’s Four ‘Red Lines’ Are Actually All About Taiwan

#WaPo is owned by Jeff Bezos whose fortunes is very reliant on Chinese suppliers and marketplace. The #CCP has basically mastered the art of elite capture (whether in China or the US). That's why you see many (not all) #US billionaires praising/kowtowing to the CCP.
Something is seriously wrong with Western legacy media. Instead of focusing so much on 🇨🇳 state media, they should’ve focused on Japanese netizens and society’s uproar over a diplomat threatening to behead Prime Minister Takaichi. Instead, they blame her and Taiwan.

#China ambassador to #Japan (Osaka) Xue Jian threatens to behead Japan's new PM Takaichi Sanae on a social media post. This is a profound increase in #CCP China's aggressive rhetoric. What's damning was China's foreign ministry defended the words and actions of their ambassador. #China #Japan
Not sure why all the Western legacy media is ignoring a major story: Chinese Ambassador to Japan threatens Japanese Prime Minister Takeuchi, saying, “I have no choice but to cut off that dirty head.”
