Imperiled Circumstance.   USA is convulsed by urgent crises + systemic issues contributing to these very crises.   The danger lies in not addressing them.  China will thereby further disadvantage USA. Bottom line.   America’s challenge involves correcting issues-turned-vulnerabilities-now liabilities in an atmosphere of angst about “Advantage China”.  Resolution of accumulated liabilities means re-balancing the field of play with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).  Minus this, America’s progress will be hobbled no matter how much anger and effort are mustered. On the Road to Solutions All China Factor reports to date have a single goal:  Situation awareness of CCP devastations to USA and allies.  Following reports will transition to solutions.  This report #010 is the bridge. Questions What will keep America from its own undoing? Can a politically-divided government and society focus on both urgent and systemic issues during an election year? Which…

Intent.  Address the basis for inevitable war between USA and China. This is predicated on China aggressively exploiting massed advantages in the face of USA’s disunity and distractions in overcoming these. This report avoids long narrative.  It relies on bulletized logic trails and a menu of perspectives in outline formats for ease of reading and cherry picking.   There is redundancy, because each paragraph is intended to stand alone. Action vs Strategy.  USA has taken strong action in the past without full grasp of the strategic realities it was about to face.  What did USA gain from over a decade of war in Vietnam?  Where is USA now after 19 years in the Afghanistan-Iraq theater of operations?  How did USA manage to allow the Chinese Communist Party to gain an upper hand wielding economic power as a form of war?  Discovery of strategic facts has tended to follow US action, not precede them.  This is a present liability. The Bottom Line:   A virus from Wuhan shut down America and impacted the whole planet.  In so doing, the Chinese Communist Party postured itself to exploit well-contrived advantages to pursue global dominance.  This preparation spanned almost half a century.  Growing evidence and indicators suggest this is unmistakably war.  China’s success in gaining extraordinary advantages over USA points to three factors: US Superpower has been inattentive to this matter for many years It is now trying to catch up fast on this neglect In so doing, it is pushing China toward a fuller war footing as a survival necessity...

Situation.  After 40+ years of purpose-driven condition setting in the USA and around the world,  Chinese communist leadership has finally postured itself to enforce and exploit its power position by more aggressive and coercive means.  However, at the same time the Chinese Communist Party leadership has exposed its dark intentions to a global audience. While most Americans won’t read lengthy explanations about such complex matters, COVID-19 has served to finally arouse national and global anger at the Chinese Communist Party --  a first, after long decades of open-field running by the CCP. Question:  If USA and others are to contest and roll back the CCP’s current advantage, as well as prevent it in the future, what are the functional aims of each type of Chinese communist aggression to be understood?  What is the aggregate impact of them all? Bottom Line. …

United States Strategic Approach to the Peoples’ Republic of China.   As of 20 May 2020, the US Government is adjusting its strategic approach to China as reflected in this White House document (click here). After forty years, this represents a step toward contesting PRC’s Strategic Enablers.  Understanding these building blocks is fundamental to all Americans doing their part in contesting and countering these CCP enablers, now and in the future.  The Microchip.  China manages and manipulates an intricate process that eventually delivers a microchip to the USA.  Destination?  The cockpit of US military aircraft, a vital computer server on Wall Street, the computer-controlled US electrical power grid, and your local hospital, bank, supermarket, telecommunications infrastructure, and high-tech retailer.  Origin?  A mound of dirt somewhere in The Democratic Republic of Congo, owned or leased for the next 99 years by China. …

Situation.  Chinese Communist leaders have integrated five lines of effort to weaponize economics.  This is the foundation for their 2049 strategy to “bury America”.  Chinese leaders “control” part of China’s population if one considers Tibet, Hong Kong, Uighurs, Falung Gong and Christians.  In other words,” anyone who opposes them”.  This is an indicator of larger intent. Question.  What are the compelling indicators and evidence of America being buried in a systematic manner under a Chinese communist strategy of dominance, as opposed to just being economically “out-competed” by China? The Bottom Line. Five uncontested functional aggressions combine to give China extraordinary advantage.  Americans have been Silicon-ized, Panama’d, Good-dealed, Walmart’d, and Las Vegas’d in detail by Chinese communist leadership.  This now leaves USA vulnerable to continuous exploitation.  The fact that compliance and non-interference with China’s methods is considered “normal” to many Americans;…
