Once the Chinese Communists have total control over what Americans eat, they will have won the war without firing a single shot.

New revelations highlight the degree to which the United States government is compromised by ties to Beijing. According to an exclusive report by The National Pulse, one of the co-chairs of Joe Biden’s upcoming White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health has made appearances in documentary films made by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) outlets.

In her appearances, Ertharin Cousin, whom Biden has selected as one of five individuals who will lead the forthcoming conference, praises China’s food and agriculture policy as one that should be “learned by the whole world.”

Cousin has also praised the regime on other occasions, with her quotes regularly being featured on Chinese state-run media programming.

The White House conference, which is scheduled for September, is intended to deal with issues like nutrition, health, food security, and agriculture. This comes as Americans’ access to food has been significantly impacted by rising inflation and food shortages.

Notably, Cousin is a former executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). She went on a 20-minute episode of a program titled The Hunger Paradox, which airs on China Global Television Network (CGTN), which is fully owned and managed by the CCP.

In the episode in question, Cousin is the only interviewee. The program repeats CCP talking points regarding the supposed success of the regime’s agricultural techniques — despite China’s history of famine and food rationing.

At one point, the program’s host says: “In China, agricultural reforms ensured most rural farmers had land to grow on, allowing them to be food self-sufficient. China’s poverty reduction efforts have contributed to 70 percent of the world-wide poverty reduction since the 1980’s.”

“One of the things I’ve heard you say, which I think is fascinating and true, is that policies do make a difference and you point to China. So many people lifted out of poverty, so many people hungry that now have meals, so policies do make a difference don’t they,” he adds.

To this, Cousin responds: “Yes they do. You would often hear me use China as an example of a country that the world said would never feed itself. That it would always depend upon assistance from the global community because 50 years ago, China was WFP’s largest recipient, and that all evolved to the point where President Xi now says that he will eradicate poverty by the end of 2020.”

“I’m looking forward to that,” she remarks.

Cousin then goes on to heap praise on the CCP for its “commitment.”

It did take commitment from government to developing the programs, investing in the activities that were necessary to ensure the agricultural system was one that could provide access to food, but also ensuring that people who could not afford food had access to food. And that made a difference in the evolution of China, and there are many other factors involved there but the reality of it is it began with a commitment by leadership to ensure that they were self-sustained in food access.

Cousin previously served in the Obama White House as the ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture. Throughout her career, she has made many glowingly positive comments about China.

During a 2013 visit to China, she remarked that “China has made enormous progress in dealing with hunger and its experience can be learned by the whole world,” a quote that was picked up by the state-run paper China Daily.

And in 2016, she said to the Chinese state-run outlet Xinhua: “China has created significant lessons for the world and established a true benchmark for what the world can achieve.”

The National Pulse further notes:

As recently as July 2021, while delivering a keynote address at a conference, Cousin again praised the Chinese Communist Party for “despite the fact that some 60 years ago, the world said China would never be able to feed itself, not only does it feed itself today, but it is also a donor country, supporting food access across the globe for developing countries.”

Moreover, Cousin has served on the advisory board of pharmaceutical giant Bayer since 2019.

With so many China fans working for and advising Biden, is it any wonder the “Big Guy” is selling out America to Beijing bit by bit?
