The profoundly ominous nature of America’s anti-China hysteria

There’s something foreboding and eerie about this anti-Chinese frenzy that’s broken out within the U.S. and its vassal countries.

Military analyst David Maxwell, a former Special Ops soldier himself, advocated for a widespread culture war, which would include the Pentagon commissioning what he called “Taiwanese Tom Clancy” novels, intended to demonize China and demoralize its citizens, arguing that Washington should “weaponize” China’s one-child policy by bombarding Chinese people with stories of the wartime deaths of their only children, and therefore, their bloodline.
