When Beijing Shows True Colors, Leftists Affect Color Blindness
Lies, fibs, and untruths: The Chinese regime under Xi Jinping claims it has a nonconfrontational foreign policy, even as it steals U.S. technology, claims other countries’ territories, and floods markets with government-subsidized goods to put foreign competitors out of business.

Item: After President Trump’s secretary of state had harsh words for the activities of the communists running China, Inside Higher Ed (a Washington, D.C.-based media company and online publication) sided with Beijing and blasted Mike Pompeo. The secretary, as the publication complained on December 10, “warned of Chinese government influence on American campuses.”
Continued Inside Higher Ed: “The speech was notable for the strident tone taken by the nation’s chief diplomat…. The outgoing secretary of state addressed issues including intellectual property theft and recruitment of American professors into Chinese government-sponsored talent recruitment programs. He also raised concerns about Chinese students who fear speaking openly on American campuses lest they or their families be harassed, or worse. He further accused U.S. universities of censoring themselves or even overlooking illegal behavior to avoid offending China. He said many had been ‘bought by Beijing.’”
Bloomberg News also was critical of Pompeo, seeking an interview with a spokesman for the American Council on Education, who predictably called the secretary’s remarks about China “absurd and insulting.”
