Meanwhile, as the ChiCom-comprised Biden signals abject weakness to world, our most formidable adversary escalates its threatening posture, preparing to attack the USA from both within and without.

Even CNN admits China is cranking up a disinformation war:

A pro-Chinese government online influence operation is targeting Americans in an effort to exploit divisions over the Covid-19 pandemic and “physically mobilize protestors in the US in response,” according to a new report from cybersecurity firm Mandiant and experts at Google.

The operation, which initially attempted to discredit pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong in 2019, has expanded into a “global campaign that’s operating in seven languages, on at least 30 social media platforms and across 40+ website & forums,” experts at Mandiant and Google say, noting parallels to the Russian disinformation campaign around the 2016 presidential election.

One difference from Russia is that China represents a more direct military threat. From the Washington Examiner:

The Global Times called on People’s Liberation Army Navy warships to travel to “U.S. military bases in the Asia-Pacific and the U.S. allies’ coastlines to conduct close-in reconnaissance operations and declare freedom of navigation.” The editorial added that “the U.S. will definitely see the PLA show up at its doorstep in the not-too-distant future.” …

The Global Times operates under Central Foreign Affairs Commission Director Yang Jiechi. Its words represent a credible threat.

China is rattling this particular saber because US ships cross the international waters of the South China Sea.

U.S. Navy transits of international waters are one thing. PLA transits within 12 miles of sovereign U.S. or allied coasts would be a very different matter. Put another way, where the U.S. is walking through a public park, China claims a right to seize public parks and then engage in home invasions.

As the Mandiant report notes regarding the social media campaign,

Accounts in the network have actively sought to physically mobilize protestors in the U.S. … [T]his direct call for physical mobilization is a significant development compared to prior activity, potentially indicative of an emerging intent to motivate real-world activity outside of China’s territories.

America’s self-inflicted decline as personified by Biden is an open invitation to the world’s worst. The Taliban accepted it, and so will the ChiComs.
