Experts warn of Beijing threat, not expecting Biden to do much about it Monday, March 15, 2021 | J.M. Phelps (OneNewsNow.com) Spanish The Chinese Communist Party appears to be advancing its plans to overtake the U.S. on the world stage – and whether the Biden administration will offer any pushback is quite questionable. As reported last week, a document entitled "Interim National Security Strategic Guidance" released earlier this month by President Joe Biden's national security advisor puts issues like climate change and racial justice ahead of confronting adversaries like China and Russia. One News Now spoke to Clare Lopez, an expert on national security, about the long-term strategic threat continuing to emerge from China.
Comments XINJIANG PROVINCE, CHINA — Up is down. War is peace. And the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands have accused China of genocide. “This is forced labor, this is forced sterilization, this is forced abortions, …the kind of thing we haven’t seen in an awfully long time in this world,” declared then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. To be fair, the accusers are experts in genocide: the U.S. and its junior imperial partner, Canada, wiped out their indigenous populations. Today the U.S. is responsible for the three biggest human rights catastrophes in the world in Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen. And the Netherlands is just coming to terms with its massacres in Indonesia.
AFP Reporters who covered Secretary of State George P. Shultz liked to refer to him as “Buddha” because of his calm demeanor in the face of world crises. Shultz, who died on Feb. 6 at the age of 100, was perhaps best known for working with President Ronald Reagan to help end the Cold War. It’s not easy to sum up the career of a statesman who served for six and a half years as Secretary of State during a time of turmoil overseas. His was the longest tenure since that served by Dean Rusk. Rusk served for eight years, from early 1961 until January 20, 1969.

Presented by Facebook Several of the House impeachment managers wanted firsthand testimony to help prove their case that Donald Trump incited the Jan. 6 riot, our sources tell us. But leaders and Biden administration officials have been eager for the process to move quickly, we’re told. | Jonathan Ernst/Pool via AP
2 Feb 2021 The Pentagon on Tuesday announced a sweeping review of all of its advisory committees, due to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s concern over last minute appointees under the Trump administration. The Pentagon also announced that all activity by the more than 40 committees and its hundreds of members would be suspended during the review. Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said Tuesday at a briefing: The secretary was deeply concerned with the pace and the extent of recent changes to memberships have Department Advisory Committees and this review will allow him now to quickly get his arms around the purpose of these boards and to make sure the advisory committees are in fact providing the best possible advice to department leadership.
Jan 27, 2021 Biden’s China-related appointments represent a Democratic Party dream team of consummate insiders with a Beltway accent, fluent in the business of politics and the politics of business. The placement of Anthony Blinken as Secretary of State, Kurt Campbell and Laura Rosenberger at the National Security Council, Jake Sullivan as national security adviser, Lloyd Austin heading the Pentagon and William Burns leading the Central Intelligence Agency is a manifestation of Biden’s centrist worldview. It’s an old-school business-as-usual approach, a congenial crowd comfortable with both the security establishment and corporate giants, especially energy, tech and defense contractors. More ideologically hawkish candidates, such as Michele Flournoy for the Pentagon, and Mike Morell, formerly of the CIA, met with internal Democratic Party resistance and did not secure the jobs they vied for. Flournoy may have over-extended herself in the private sector, including affiliations with WestExec, Booz Hamilton, Boston Consulting and Pine Island Capital. Pine Island, a private equity firm, has emerged as another boutique power nexus to watch. Both Blinken and Flournoy were partners there, and its outsized influence in the new administration includes newly-appointed Pentagon chief Austin.
