In late March on Capitol Hill, the commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Adm. John C. Aquilino, warned congressional leaders in clear terms of the growing military threat from the People’s Republic of China. He emphasized that Beijing 'has continued the most extensive and rapid buildup since World War II.
' In other words – if one accounts for the broader strategic context – even as our economic and technological advantages over China 'narrow,' even as China’s military prepares for possible invasion of Taiwan, and even as the Chinese Communist Party helps to rebuild Putin’s military industrial base and keep his wartime economy afloat through trade, American businesses should continue to supply the Chinese Communist Party with capital, technology, and know-how.
