China has been waging a quiet war on the United States for years. It is a war not fought with missiles and bullets but waged with minerals and refineries. It’s past time for Washington to acknowledge this reality so America can adopt the war footing necessary for victory.
During his first term, President Donald Trump sounded the alarm that “America cannot be dependent on imports from foreign adversaries for critical minerals.” In Congress, Senator Marco Rubio and Congressman Mike Waltz, the president-elect’s nominees to serve as secretary of state and national security advisor, led the charge against Beijing’s critical minerals dominance. They understood that China’s state-directed control of the critical minerals supply chain was not just friendly competition but a strategic attack on America’s industrial base.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is hostile to democracy globally and seeks to displace the United States as the world’s indispensable power. U.S. intelligence reports confirm that Communist China is an existential threat. Yet, Washington has failed to recognize this fact because it clings to an anachronistic definition of war.
