The U.S. Must Wage Economic Warfare Against China, Says Former Trump Advisor

It’s essential that the United States break off its dependence on Chinese products, wage economic warfare against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and above all, identify and stop CCP infiltration of America and its institutions, including the White House. That was the message from Anthony Shaffer, previously a CIA-trained intelligence officer and Donald Trump campaign national security advisor, in an interview with New Federal State of China (NFSC) at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). 

Speaking to NFSC at CPAC, Shaffer explained one method of infiltration that has been ongoing for decades. “So we’ve known, the United States has known since the ‘80s — back in the ‘80s, we were tracking something we call ‘cadre kids.’ The Chinese Communist Party has been sending their kids here to go to college so they are educated in our system. So we have to, first off, identify how they’ve been sending people in,” Shaffer began. Fox News’ China expert Gordon Chang recentlywarned that CCP plants are among the illegal aliens flooding across the southern U.S. border.

Shaffer continued that while he didn’t want to “ruin people’s meals,” CCP spy operations could hide out behind the front of something as benign as a Chinese restaurant. “Some Chinese restaurants across the nation are actually intelligence collection points for the Chinese intelligence service,” he revealed. A CCP police station (of which there are at least four in United States) that was operating out of a Chinese restaurant was recently discovered and shut down in Glasgow, Scotland. Based on what Shaffer said, he has seen evidence that this sketchy situation is not unique to Europe.

”We have to educate people on this fact,” Shaffer continued. “Most importantly, institutions of the United States government, to include the White House, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, were paid millions of dollars to essentially defer to China.“

”It’s like, during the Cold War, we would’ve never … funded the Soviet Union,” Shaffer gave as an example. “And we actually used economic warfare to undermine their economy and break their system.“
