Eric,
China has infiltrated our culture by controlling Hollywood and Netflix.
You're only half-right.

China has indeed infiltrated our culture, but it's not through Hollywood and it's not through Netflix. (They wish they had even a fraction of the influence Korea has now in those two areas.)

Instead, China controls that mental drug known as TikTok. And they're doing a wonderful job brainwashing kids and young adults into believing crazy-ass ideas like "from the river to the sea."

Plus you can bet that China is trying to twist the YouTube and Google Algore-ithms so that videos and comments of their choosing rise to the top. Same with Twitter and Facebook feeds.

How do I know? Because RuZZia is doing it as well, but RuZZia's problem is that their informational warfare is about as subtle as a bulldozer and almost painfully obvious.

I have to assume that China is smarter than that.

Either way, though, that's the only influence China has over our culture. And we only allow it because we want it, and because we've lost the ability to tell fact from fiction.

I predict that the China scare will pass. Maybe things will get worse before they get better, but that's all on WinnXi the PooTin.

The best way to face the Chinese threat is through international alliances, not by going around calling COVID-19 "Kung Flu" and being a crazy ass lunatic with n00ks.

So yeah, when it comes to dealing with China, I'll take Nikki Haley over Trump.
