AMAC Exclusive – By Ben Solis

During what appears to be China’s most vulnerable economic moment in decades, President Joe Biden is offering the communist country a vital lifeline by lifting sanctions in response to empty promises from Xi Jinping.

A number of factors are contributing to China’s increasing economic instability – the most basic of which is Xi Jinping’s commitment to failed Marxist-socialist principles and the teachings of Mao Zedong. Xi Jinping’s mother Qixin, one of the most important figures in Xi’s life, ingrained a love of Mao in her son from a young age. When Mao’s regime punished and exiled Xi’s father, Qixin did not blame Mao, but rather other high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials.

Qixin once told a party media official that among the first songs Xi heard as a baby was the cultural revolution anthem, “The Sun is Reddest, Chairman Mao is Dearest.” Xi’s future wife, Peng Liyuan, a singer, sang that song on her first date with Xi. In a recent edition of the CCP’s party newspaper, Xi was quoted as saying, “Mao Zedong Thought is the crystallization of the revolutionary will and practice of hundreds of millions of people. It was, is, and will be the guiding ideology for all our work.”

Dr. Wen Yuhang, who defected from China in the early 1980s and advised European and Latin American governments, told me in an interview that under Xi, within the CCP, family ties are less important than devotion to the CCP like during the Mao era.

Harry Wu, a former political prisoner in China, told me in 2008 that “Xi genuinely and fervently worships Mao, since he is his god.” Xi’s worldview revolves around principles entirely contrary to Western political and economic philosophy. “Xi’s encounters with the West have only solidified that cult,” Harry added.

Just as it has in every other communist regime throughout history, Xi’s devotion to Marxist economic principles due to his love for Mao has led China to the brink of ruin.

China is also facing a looming population collapse that is wreaking havoc on their national economy. The National Health Commission reported in October that China saw just 9.56 million births in 2022, the lowest figure since 1949. As a result, the population declined for the first time in six decades last year.

However, the interpretation of such news in China differs from the Western perspective. The demographic crisis, double-digit youth unemployment, and drying up capital are merely “an interim period of educative hardships” rather than a sign of any crisis, according to the Chinese state media. “The ‘self-pursuit of hardship’ is the most important thing I ask of myself,” Chinese television has quoted Xi as saying.

Chinese officials have done their best to hide the country’s economic struggles, but contradictory information paints an alarming picture of the real economic situation. Questions abound.

For instance, how could firms listed in the Shenzen stock market report $2.1 trillion in revenue in the first nine months of 2023 when both the Chinese economy and worldwide economic growth lagged?

Moreover, how could such a stagnating economy finance massive imports of foreign oil, and where was that oil going? Recent reports indicated that in the first half of 2023, China imported 12 percent more crude oil per day than the year prior.

The answer is that the CCP is desperately trying to mask the country’s deep economic struggles. But some signs are impossible to hide.

According to preliminary data on China’s balance of payments, foreign direct investment crashed by 34 percent in September after recording double-digit falls every month since May. Direct investment liabilities, a gauge of foreign capital flowing into the country, were at a deficit of $11.8 billion in the second quarter of 2023, the lowest of any quarter since 2000 and down from $21 billion in the first three months of the year.

Yet at this moment of vulnerability, the CCP appears to be getting a boost from the Biden administration.

Biden has reversed or suggested that he might reverse many Trump-era sanctions on the communist nation, including ones that resulted in the delisting of Chinese companies from U.S. stock exchanges. In a recent interview, Cassandra Seier, the Head of International Capital Markets at the New York Stock Exchange, suggested changes favorable to China in the coming months. Seier spoke specifically about “opening” and observing “healthy revival signs of Chinese companies” after a “two-year” freeze. “Now, we’re waiting for the right market timing for those companies to come and list on the NYSE,” she said.

In October, the Biden administration also trumpeted its “sweeping” new limits on advanced semiconductor technology to China. But a month later, China’s Commerce Ministry website said that Minister Wang Wentao was set to welcome California-based microchip producer Micron Technology to the Chinese market. Micron’s CEO Sanjay Mehrotra expressed his willingness “to continue to expand investment in China.”

Following his face-to-face meeting with Xi earlier this month, Biden also announced that he was lifting sanctions on China supposedly in exchange for Beijing’s cooperation in cracking down on fentanyl production. But as critics have pointed out, China has never followed through on such promises in the past, and this move only incentivizes Xi to allow more drugs to flow into the United States to use as leverage in future negotiations.

While Biden portrays himself as “tough on China” in public, indications are that his administration has actually offered a vital economic lifeline to a struggling Chinese economy.

As China continues to threaten world security and Western civilization, Americans may now have to face the troubling fact that their own president is enabling the United States’ greatest strategic adversary.

Once again Biden looks out for China before he is for our own country. This will alternately prove my point. Biden will historically go down as one of the worst presidents we have ever had.

Can always count on Obama (Fast and Furious SCAM, Open Borders, Pay Terrorist $Billions, Surrender to and support Terrorist giving them $Billions in U.S. Military equipment and weapons,), H. Clinton (Benghazi, Russia, Russia Hoax), SWAMP QUEEN pelosi (Inside Trading and Communist China ties), and Dictator Beijing biden (Killed Energy Independence, Surrender to and Support Terrorist giving $Billions in U.S. Military equipment and weapons, Illegal Alien Terrorist Invasion, INFLATION, Increased Crime, Pays Terrorist $Billions) to bow down to their Communist China buddies by SELLING OUT the United States.
Each taking bribes from Communist China and other countries. Dictator Beijing biden STEALS Sensitive Highly Classified Documents from the White House and hides them in Chinatown and his open garage in his corvette among many other places. And the FBI and DOJ don’t charge him with espionage and treason not to mention outright theft of government documents. Remember the DOJ didn’t charge H. Clinton for Destruction of government property and using her private cellphone for Classified Information on an OPEN LINE or for her Fake Russia Dossier PAID by her and the DNC.
Yet, they FALSELY charge President Trump with FAKE indictments for doing nothing wrong because he’s the Number One political opponent and the judges are so CORRUPT just like the DOJ, FBI , and Dictator Beijing biden. All this on the Orders of Communist China to their Communist China Puppet Dictator Beijing biden and Obama.
Don’t think we don’t know that Obama and H. Clinton are not behind this also since ALL Democrats (with exception of 1 or 2) Bow Down to their Master in Communist China.
And Dictator Beijing biden gives ALL of OUR MONEY and JOBS to Communist China, and every other country in the world but to the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
President Trump made sure that ALL JOBS and OUR MONEY went to US.
President Trump NEVER bowed down to Communist China or Iran, Russia, or any other country or paid TERRORIST. President Trump NEVER surrendered to terrorist either. Nor did President Trump allow Illegal Alien Terrorist to INVADE our country by the MILLIONS.
Inflation continues rising along with crime, and we’re still in a Recession.
All this thanks to Election Fraud and Election Interference by the Democrats who are the Number One Enemy of the United States.
As for the lie on Global Warming as a threat to the United States is so hilarious. There is NO Global Warming just as ONLY 171,000 people died from the China Virus. NOT the 1 million or so the FASCIST liberals, CDC, FAKE NEWS, and Fauci lied about. The Bird Flu is 60 times more deadlier than the China Virus and we didn’t have Illegal Mask Mandates or Illegal Vaccine Mandates or Lockdowns. Nor did we wear masks with Bird Flu or Swine Flu. Above all, not everybody that died was counted as dying as such like they did with China Virus. Remember that ALL accidents, heart attacks, old age, natural causes, etc. were ALL counted as China Virus deaths. Not one person died of the flu during this FAKE pandemic. It was ALL about POWER and CONTROL and to see who would bow down without question.
Let’s not also forget the intrusion of what choice WE MAKE of what products WE WANT. NOT what the FASCIST liberals tell us what we can only have or use. That is pure FASCISM people. It’s NONE of their business on what kind of car , furnace, a/c, or any other thing I use or CHOOSE to buy.
And this Half-size FOOD product garbage for 3 times more or Definitely Higher in price MUST END NOW. Bad enough being taxed to death with no income left thanks to Dictator Beijing biden’s Inflation Increase Act so he can pay his Socialist/Communist agenda and give it ALL to his Illegal Alien Terrorist Invasion buddies and Communist China. Not to mention the Global Warming scam.
WAKE UP AMERICA!

We all know where China Joe stands. Where do We the People stand? Are WE willing to stop buying all the Communist Chinese made products in our stores? We have gotten so drunk on the cheap products of the Communists, we feel we cannot live without them. We have helped make China what it is today, a nation that wants to take over the world, and destroy us. If we tell manufacturers and big box stores that we will not support China anymore and let the products remain on the shelves, the products will start to be manufactured in other countries, maybe even our own! That will hurt China’s bottom line. OR, we could impact China directly just as President Trump tried to do with tariffs, etc. Bottom line, China is out of control and this Resident Biden and his merry bands of socialist/communists are our own worst enemy!

China is NOT a friend of this nation! In fact in a few previous articles it’s been made pretty clear Xi’s “ambition” to ultimately take over this nation. After all where does the majority of the cheap and painfully abundant knock offs and in the past, even poisoned pet foods, rubber thongs that caused infections on the feet, more than questionable drugs and of course the winner is…Covid, come from? Forgive the run on sentence. Biden is bought and paid for by China’s dictator. His previous “president” who in one of his speeches opined; “There comes a time in a “man’s” life when he’s made enough money” is now the “proud owner of 3 multi-million dollar mansions”. Biden could also have been programmed by his previous ‘president’ who’s disdain for this nation was made painfully obvious in one of his first two “books”….read those books with a barf bag nearby. Oh, Obama also stated that ” I will stand with the Muslims should the winds change.” Also frequently seen “visiting” the White House during little Joes’ occupation. And lets not forget comrade Bill Gates and George Soros in this mounting morass. The big picture is the sum of many niggling “little” parts coming together to take down this nation’s sovereignty…but the most dangerous part to this nation’s sovereignty… was warned about over 200 years ago…

With Biden’s Inflation Chinese products now cost what American Made product did back 2019.
Another words in 2019 we thought American products were to expensive, so We bought cheaper Chinese Goods. Now inflation at 30% has us paying 2019 US prices for Chinese products.
Yet, back in 2019 we wouldn’t buy higher priced US Products made by Americans.

As usual, the USA finances China’s war against us. Same with any deals with Iran. Our politicians never learn, never think any enemy will come after us, try to defeat us, and that we’ll always be able to handle whatever comes our way.
With our military being in such a “gay” mess, etc., this is not a time for such a move. Biden is such a wimp. But no doubt, he’s getting something personally in return, as always (or for son Hunter).

Bribery wins out over America’s economy. Why is this man not impeached? Who will be able to pick up the pieces when America is no more? When will the Rinos and the reps with independents and even dems see the destruction that is happening today. We are being killed with the climate change. Methane is killing the climate, it is not. Climate change is a way to take all our money to fight this to survive, so they say. It is their way to control the masses. The elites will survive with their private jets and fancy water and huge estate on the shores of the oceans, you know the ones that are boiling and rising by a foot every year. Only they don’t want the average American to have it. Cars will be taken away from us, the car industry is dead. Like the housing industry. Prices are so high no one can afford a home plus the interest rates prohibits many to qualify for a loan, on a house or a car. All to keep the masses in check and take food away that keeps us healthy and alive and give us chemical infused foods and crickets. Bill Gates owns that industry.

Biden should be tried and convicted as a traitor to the USA and hung like Benedict Arnold. He would rather help build a communist country than his own and its people. He loves communism so much, he should get out of our country and retire in Communist China. He isn’t wanted or worth anything to the American people.

We already know that Biden has been in bed with China for a very long time. Now, they can hold him hostage and get what they want because he fears what they might actually release and let the world know about him and his illegal dealings with them over the years. Why was his criminal son taken along for official government trips in the past? Hunter may be a child in mind but he’s not physically a child, why did the taxpayers pay for him to travel the world with the official American delegation? Of course, the mainstream media is virtually silent and we still haven’t heard much about the “job” Hunter had in Ukraine. When will a real journalist earn themselves a Pulitzer and do some real investigative work like we used to see years ago?

Solis is not in touch with reality. China does not need ‘lifeline’ from US, but the other way around. US national debt as it is now = 33 TRILLION $$$. I bet my 67 years of life, that Chinas national debt is not even 1/3 of that. Its obvious that US politicians and media writers like Solis are living in time 50 years past by. In delusion that persistently ignores reality, and tries to live in times long gone..
