Commentary The Biden administration’s highly accommodative approach will likely usher in another era of appeasement toward the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and put the free world in harm’s way. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered a lackluster China policy speech on May 26 in which he reiterated President Joe Biden’s oft-quoted policy of not seeking…
We Must Now Learn the Lesson of 1914, Not the Lesson of 1938
Commentary With proponents of military intervention and war, it’s always 1938, and every attempt to substitute diplomacy for escalation and war is “appeasement.” Last week, for example, Ukrainian legislator Lesia Vasylenko accused Western leaders of appeasement during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, stating, “This is the same as 1938 when also the world and the United States in…
Russian Appeasement Was a Left-wing Monopoly
Commentary One way of understanding the 2009–2014 Obama administration policy of “reset” with Vladimir Putin’s Russia is to recall two iconic incidents. The first was the 2009 “reset.” Newly appointed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that she would pursue a “reset” détente with Russia. America would relax the prior Bush administration’s mild ostracism of…

Commentary Chinese leader Xi Jinping attempted to reinforce the legitimacy of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) during a speech on Oct. 25 to commemorate the PRC’s admission to the United Nations 50 years ago.

Commentary America’s China policy objectives have been flawed for decades, resulting in the ascendancy of a hyper-aggressive Chinese regime. Have the objectives of U.S. policymakers over the years with respect to China been achieved? Is the Chinese regime more democratic and less belligerent, as so-called “China hands” have argued would be “inevitable” as they pushed…
Appeasement of the CCP?
Commentary In crucial times, we would be fortunate indeed if the leaders of the free world were as courageous, as principled, and as great communicators as Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher. But such leaders are, unfortunately, rare. Ordinary leaders have in the past resorted to appeasement, that is, being too ready to make…

Commentary Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) initiated the new Sino-U.S. cold war in the first half of 2020, the U.S. military has recognized the seriousness of the problem.

It’s Time for American Impatience With China
Commentary On cue, White House press secretary Jen Psaki has signaled that President Joe Biden’s administration is not prepared to seriously confront the complex and immediate threat communist China poses to American security and world peace.
