“They’re going to go element by element through their economy and see which of those is still open to attack from the West … to seal those up prior to invading Taiwan.”

Previously, in part one of my interview with retired Brigadier General Robert Spalding, he broke down the Chinese regime’s strategy of unrestricted warfare, which is detailed in his latest book “War Without Rules: China’s Playbook for Global Domination.”

Now in part two, we discuss what’s really going on behind China’s new round of draconian lockdowns. Is it potentially related to Xi Jinping’s plans for Taiwan?

“The Chinese Communist Party doesn’t do things willy-nilly. It’s very deliberate,” Spalding says.

How can the United States effectively counter the Chinese communist threat to Taiwan and the rest of the free world?

If you missed part one of this interview, you can find it here. 

“They want to control everything. They want to not only control resources, they want to control the behavior of the people, they also want to control the mind, control people’s thoughts.”

In this episode, we take a look at one of the largest grassroots movements in the world. For the past two decades, millions of Chinese have been secretly renouncing their affiliation to China’s Communist Party and its affiliate organizations. The movement, called Tuidang, or Quitting the Chinese Communist Party, has recorded nearly 400 million such renunciations.

I sit down with Sen Nieh, vice president of the Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party. He’s also a professor at the Catholic University of America.

“It’s about how Chinese people try to break out of the bondage of communism,” says Nieh.

We discuss this movement and we also take a deeper look at the draconian lockdowns in China. It’s a decades-old playbook, Nieh says.
