China poses the greatest threat to America and the rest of the free world since World War II, outgoing National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe said Thursday as the Trump administration ramps up anti-Chinese rhetoric to pressure President-elect Joe Biden to be tough on Beijing.
'The intelligence is clear: Beijing intends to dominate the US and the rest of the planet economically, militarily and technologically,' Ratcliffe wrote in an op-ed published Thursday in The Wall Street Journal.
'Many of China's major public initiatives and prominent companies offer only a layer of camouflage to the activities of the Chinese Communist Party.'

During a June 2107 lecture on U.S. foreign policy in the Asia Pacific under President Trump delivered at the Lowy Institute, Sullivan said that the United States should “encourages China’s rise” economically and that the U.S. shouldn’t view a relationship as an enemy or a friend.
“[Leading foreign policy expert] Owen Harries was right when he warned against containment of China. That is a self-defeating policy. But so is acquiescence. We need to strike a middle course, one that encourages China’s rise in a manner consistent with an open, fair, rules-based regional order,” Sullivan said, explaining the idea as a “new model,” a “tagline” former President Obama and Chinese President Xi announced during a summit in 2013.
“This requires care, and prudence, and strategic foresight. Even more fundamentally, it requires sustained attention. These are not in ample supply in Washington right now,” Sullivan added.
Sullivan continued to explain how he believes America’s China policy should be more than just bilateral ties, but about creating “an environment more conducive to a peaceful and positive-sum Chinese rise.”

General Macarthur would be turning in his grave. The free world had a chance to nuke the CCP into the stone age during the Korean war chance gone begging. If WW3 is to break out it would have been better back then than within the next decade.
