The China Virus      

   Yesterday, we wrote of China's infiltration and of Americans who place personal  wealth above loyalty to country. Today, our conclusion.

   Hollywood and others in entertainment are influential. China already owns much of it, and approves which movies are made, in many cases. 

   The National Basketball Assn. has taken a knee for Beijing, James Gorrie writes, rather than stand up for persecuted millions. (More than half of the NBA's U.S. TV audience quit watching the games, now ended for the year.) 

   Our business community - technology and social media - are deeply penetrated. Twitter, Facebook, Apple, Google and many more cave before China by censoring criticism of the CCP.

   Gorrie asks, "How long we allow the CCP to dictate what is taught, to censor films and shape our culture, laws and politics, is a big part of the presidential election. Should the U.S. impose deeper restrictions on Chinese-owned businesses and operatives within our borders?"  

   "Should an executive order be issued? Should the U.S. disconnect from China as much and as fast as possible? Absolutely: The status quo poses an immediate and pervasive threat to America." 

   Alexander Hamilton had an elitist vision. Intellectual aristocracy should rule the nation. His friends thought the U.S. needed a king, and wrote to Prussia's Prince Henry asking if he wanted the job. (Hamilton's spirit lives on.) 

   If the swamp finally rids itself of nemesis President Trump, maybe they'll call Xi Jinping asking if he wants the job. After all, our air is much cleaner here.
