...who 'betrayed us' to China.

Tucker Carlson opened his television program Tuesday by reminding viewers of the dangers the United States faces from China.

"In coastal cities, housing has become astronomically expensive. Prices are rising far faster than wage growth. And most tragically, an opioid epidemic kills tens of thousands of Americans every year," Carlson said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "One of the chief reasons for that is a synthetic opioid called fentanyl, which is smuggled in from abroad."

"A single theme ties them together: A systematic decision, by many of our country’s most powerful leaders, to sell out this country to China," Carlson added.

The host warned that China "is no longer simply an economic rival to the United States. It’s becoming a dangerous enemy.

"But instead of protecting us from this threat ... our leadership class collaborates with the other side. Why? Simple: they’re getting rich from it."

The host began his list of example's with last year's controversy involving the NBA, which began when Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey tweeted a message of support for pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. Many league officials and prominent players sought to distance themselves from Morey in order to pacify Beijing.

Carlson then criticized lawmakers and former lawmakers for aligning themselves with China for a payday before moving on to America's universities.

"The entire sleazy academic world is addicted to Chinese money. Harvard and Yale both stand accused of hiding hundreds of millions of dollars in donations and payments from foreign countries," Carlson said. "American academics have made it clear whose side they’re on."

Finally, Carlson singled out Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg and his past comments praising the communist regime.

"As China’s power has grown, so has America’s dependence on its chief rival," Carlson said. "Outsourcing our manufacturing power brought American companies short-term profits, but in the long run, it has made us dangerously dependent on a nation that seeks to displace us on the world stage."

"The saddest and most infuriating part is that none of this needed to happen. China didn’t just one day magically overtake us. Our leaders made it possible," Carlson added. "They betrayed us."

He is 100% spot on.

The media has to be inline with the China connection. I don’t understand how they can push Russia 24/7 and hardly ever mention China.
It’s not because China isn’t a threat, it seems they just don’t want to cover that narrative.

He's right. There are few countries in the world where a non-citizen can own property. Yet we're letting dirty money from China be laundered through real estate purchases in Canada and the US, which has the secondary effect of driving housing prices out of the range of most of our young people.

Real estate is one the best investments around, even if it's just for your primary residence. Main reason being - they aren't making more land.

There was an excellent article in Hillsdale's Imprimis a while back.

Don't be harsh. Our leaders are doing everything in their power to make this a popular pastime again..........

Good point.

Corporate greed and brain dead politicians......

You may recall this big step in the right direction. Just amazed that it HAD to be taken in the first place.
