What Will Follow the TikTok Ban

Back in 2021, even before China began approaching its Trillion Dollar Trade Surplus with the world, Trump was considered on banning more than just TikTok.

The Trump administration was considering adding tech giants Alibaba and Tencent to a blacklist of firms allegedly owned or controlled by the Chinese military, two people familiar with the matter whispered.
Targeting Asia’s two most valuable companies would be U.S. President Donald Trump’s most dramatic step yet in a recent raft of measures unleashed against Chinese companies as he seeks to cement his hardline policy against Beijing during his final days in office.
But now, 4 years later and a new term in office, at least on the surface, Trump appears to oppose the ban on TikTok.  But China has only become more brazen with their threats against the US.

Chinese hackers breached the US government office that reviews foreign investments for national security risks, three US officials familiar with the matter told CNN.

The theft, which has not previously been reported, underscores Beijing’s keen interest in spying on a US government office that has broad powers to block Chinese investment in the US as tensions between the world’s two superpowers remain high.

Although China has repeated that its nuclear policy is a “no first strike” policy, on the ground our US military says from what they are observing is that China is most certainly developing the ability to attack the United States first. It appears that China is invading our technology and our infrastructure with an apparent goal to prevent a US retaliation upon the US being attacked first. They have attacked and infiltrated our Treasury and our communication networks. Their plan may be to try to collapse the US economy shortly before the attack comes.
