Is Kamala Harris’s Democrat Party Just Another Chinese Communist Party Front Organization?
When it comes to authoritarianism, Democrats are on the same page as the Chinese Communist Party
The Chinese communists have a decades-long investment in the Democrat Party, which is part of their ongoing hybrid war against the US. As a result, the Democrat Party has become more authoritarian and anti-liberty over time. The culmination of China’s investment in the Democrats is in the Biden-Harris regime, and thus the Chinese have a stake in the outcome of the presidential election on November 5th.
The Chinese Communist Party has been pursuing a number of intertwined goals aimed at world economic dominance in all spheres: trade, policy, legal, technology, etc. For it is economic dominance that undergirds geopolitical and military dominance, as well as their penultimate goal: world leadership in all human endeavors. Achieving de facto political control of the main enemy and directly influencing US policies in favor of communist China, as has been accelerated since January 2021, facilitates achieving these goals.
In one of the many successful campaigns of that ongoing multi-front hybrid war against their main adversary, the CCP has thoroughly corrupted the US Democrat Party to the point that the current president and his family have been directly implicated and compromised by China. Kamala Harris has been corrupted, too, as her husband, Douglas Emhoff, was a partner in DLA Piper’s Intellectual Property and Technology practice, a firm with extensive ties to China.
The corruption began immediately after Nixon and Kissinger “opened China” in 1972 (Kissinger continues to speak of appeasing China nearly 50 years later), accelerated under the Clinton Administration (refer to Chinagate) and the Obama administration (VP Joe Biden’s portfolio included managing the US-China relationship), and has resulted in a Biden administration that is infested with people who have benefited from their own personal support of China appeasement policies over the years, as noted here.
The rampant corruption is so intertwined with bought-and-paid-for Chinese sycophancy, outright admiration of the Communist regime in Beijing, and the mirroring of its authoritarian policies that, by all appearances, the Democrat Party is increasingly indistinguishable from the CCP in many if not all respects.
Here are some of the policies pursued by Democrats that essentially implement “Chinese-style authoritarianism with American characteristics.”
Great Firewall vs. Big Tech. The Great Firewall (also known as the “Golden Shield”) is the Beijing regime’s internet censorship and surveillance system. Its goal is to maintain ideological control of Chinese citizens by restricting their access to “corrupting foreign influences.” Secondarily, the system facilitates monitoring of individual communications in order to crush political dissent. The Democrat Party has increasingly – through persuasion, corruption, and coercion – exploited Big Tech to both convey Democrat narratives and also to suppress the messages of the Democrats’ political enemies. Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube, and many others are more than just Democrat-friendly; they are important elements of the Democrat Party’s ongoing campaign to suppress dissent and demonize their political opponents in their march toward totalitarianism. They are giving in-kind support for the Harris campaign and are blatantly interfering the 2024 election.
Social Credit Systems. The ostensible goal of China’s evolving social credit system is to enable reporting on the “trustworthiness” of individuals, corporations, and government entities across China, with trustworthiness of course being arbitrarily defined by the CCP. China’s State Council announced in 2014 that a social credit system “is an important method to perfect the Socialist market economy system, accelerating and innovating social governance, and it has an important significance for strengthening the sincerity consciousness of the members of society.” Left unsaid is the punishment dispensed for those deemed by the state to have exhibited “insincere consciousness.” Examples of infractions punished by Chinese authorities have included “bad driving, smoking in non-smoking zones, buying too many video games, and posting fake news online, specifically about terrorist attacks or airport security,” as reported here. Also left unsaid is that the social credit system can be extended in multiple dimensions, too, including the monitoring and suppression of “prohibited” political speech or implementation of travel controls through vaccine passports.
It is no secret that Democrats are enamored of the CCP’s social credit system, as they envision it as a powerful political control mechanism that could be wielded in America to monitor and control behavior based on Democrat priorities and objectives. As reported here, congressional Democrats are considering an overhaul of the US credit reporting system by implementing the Comprehensive CREDIT Act and the Protecting Your Credit Score Act of 2021 that would result in “a new system — similar to that of China.” Couple that system with a national central bank digital currency that is being pushed by the Democrat White House, and Americans will be surveilled and controlled in a manner that would make George Orwell blush.
And the CCP would doubtless be more than willing to sell the Democrats the social credit system information technology components that underpin the Chinese system to help make that all happen in America!
Masks, Social Distancing, and Lockdowns. These COVID response measures, which were previously foreign to most Americans, originated in China and are components of China’s draconian and unscientific “zero-COVID policy.” Democrat governors (and others) have been only too happy to force these on Americans while ignoring the lack of any proof whatsoever that masks are effective (150 comparative studies reported here) and also the economic and personal damage wrought by the lockdowns. However, constitutional freedoms are the bane of authoritarians – at least in the US. It took nearly two years for the New York state supreme court to determine that the statewide mask mandate was unconstitutional, i.e., implemented arbitrarily by an authoritarian who exceeded her authority. Just as the Chinese Communists did, and just as other Democrat governors around the nation have done. Meanwhile, Joe Biden just extended the COVID emergency, providing shade for authoritarian Democrats to continue to use these measures.
Vaccination Certificates. A key feature of China’s crackpot zero-COVID policy is the use of “vaccination certificates” which are used in the social credit system to control access and travel of all Chinese citizens. Rasmussen polling in January showed that “a majority of Democrats embrace restrictive policies, including punitive measures against those who haven’t gotten the COVID-19 vaccine.” This has manifested in congressional Democrats and the Biden administration continuing to “discuss” the use of vaccine passports, as well as the implementation of vaccine standards. Will vaccine passports be yet another gift to Americans courtesy of the Democrat Party? The desire is certainly there to emulate communist China.
Media Narratives and Control. Chinese state-run media parrot the prevailing CCP narratives pronounced by Xi Jinping. The messages are uniform and relentless, especially the repetition of Chinese communist euphemisms such as democracy with Chinese characteristics, market communism, closed off management (in referring to COVID lockdowns, believe it or not), indivisibility of security (what in the world does that mean?), content moderation (censorship), and other blarney. However, while carefully watching China’s media operations, the Democrat-media complex does not take a backseat to the Chinese communists in terms of controlling media narratives in the US. Examples are replete: suppressing reports of US Secret Service willful negligence associated with the two assassination attempts of President Trump, suppressing lack of federal support for Hurricane Helene victims, calling claims of 2020 election fraud “baseless” despite numerous reports exposing new information in Georgia and Arizona, falsely continuing to characterize unarmed January 6 protestors as “insurrectionists,” pushing Marxist critical race theory and diversity-equity-inclusion policies on Americans, and advocating deviant and perverted LGBTQI lifestyles.
Then there are the continuing calls censorship of political speech and restrictions on First Amendment rights by Kamala Harris, John Kerry, and other top Democrats. And here is the execrable Hillary Clinton warning us on CNN just yesterday that allowing free speech on social media means that “we lose control.” By “we”, she means communists like Kamala and her.
The minions at China Daily and Xinhua must be smiling.
And there are many other examples of ideological and totalitarian policy convergence between the CCP and the Democrat Party. Which came first; the chicken or the egg?
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS
The above parallels did not happen by accident. The communist Chinese got what they paid for, including through the actions of the “united front,” which is of one of Mao Zedong’s “three magic weapons. [The other two being party-building and armed struggle.] Originally, the United Front Work Department was focused domestically on establishing and strengthening CCP control over all Chinese citizens. Its original responsibility, as noted here, was “to rally social groups and individuals to support the Chinese Communist Party and its objectives [f]rom the party’s Politburo Standing Committee down to its grassroots committees, united front work involves thousands of members, social organizations, and fronts.” This was the CCP’s de facto social credit enforcement system before the internet.
The UFWD’s mission was expanded by Xi Jinping in 2015, as described here, to include foreign objectives such as “the co-optation of elites, information management, persuasion, and accessing strategic information and resources” with the express purpose of “influenc[ing] the decision-making of foreign governments and societies in China’s favor.”
And the UFWD has had a field day in influencing the Democrat Party in recent years! Witness the evolving political scandals in New York state for starters. Linda Sun, former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was charged with acting as an agent for the Chinese government just last month.
What could be more favorable to the CCP than to have its main adversary, the United States, adopt policies that are identical to those implemented by the Beijing regime itself? What better way to psychologically condition Americans to the CCP’s authoritarian methods than have their own government and an authoritarian-minded major political party do it? What better way than to subvert a major US political party from within and use them to implement communist suppression of free speech and other rights guaranteed to Americans under the US Constitution? Their influence-peddling is paying off in spades! Imagine how closer to checkmate the CCP will be if/when Kamala Harris steals the US presidency?
The CCP mission to destroy their top rival is nearly accomplished in their continuing hybrid warfare against the United States. And Kamala Harris is ready, willing, and able to further that mission, if elected.
The end.
