The Hard Truth About the CCP’s Ambitions – with Gordon Chang

China President Xi Jinping has repeatedly threatened to annex Taiwan and has ramped up its military exercises to flex its muscles to the rest of the world. While we are watching what the Chinese Communist Party is doing on the surface, its leaders are also looking to take down the US and Western leaders economically: recently China and the other BRICS nations have worked out an oil deal not based on the US dollar, increased influence in rare earth-rich African nations and has attempted to claw itself into Afghanistan. How big of a threat, overall is China and what can be done about it? Gordon Chang, Distinguished Fellow at the London Center for Policy Research and author of The Coming Collapse of China, joins LTC Tony Shaffer to examine and answer the question.

Tony also offers his take on the Daniel Penny situation as well as the news of some municipalities kicking homeless veterans out of hotels in favor of an influx of migrants storming the southern border.
