The New Federal State of China, a movement of whistleblowers and activists who oppose the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spoke at Turning Point USA’s AmFest regarding the threat posed to Western nations by China’s “Belt and Road” infiltration initiative.
The initiative, as described by the Council on Foreign Relations is a “colossal infrastructure investments may usher in a new era of trade and growth for economies in Asia and beyond,” with one important caveat: this plot has created what has been dubbed a “debt trap” for economically poor nations, leaving them helplessly dependent on the CCP — almost indefinitely.
“Xi’s vision included creating a vast network of railways, energy pipelines, highways, and streamlined border crossings, both westward—through the mountainous former Soviet republics—and southward, to Pakistan, India, and the rest of Southeast Asia. Such a network would expand the international use of Chinese currency, the renminbi, and ‘break the bottleneck in Asian connectivity,’ according to Xi,” the Council on Foreign Relations explains.
The Belt and Road Initiative is sometimes referred to as the New Silk Road and is designed to leave a fingerprint of the CCP on every nation globally. The project has expanded to East Asia including the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and Latin America, and has expanded the CCP’s economic and political agenda and influence.
“That initiative is actually called global colonization project,” a speaker for the New Federal State of China explained. “The CCP is infiltrating the railroads the ports and everything so that they [can] control the entire world [and its trade] … They want to take down the entire free world by destroying our way of life.”
“I don’t see any mainstream media coming to cover this [conversation] because they have been bought and owned and paid for by the CCP,” the speaker added
China is also the largest exporter of goods in the world, exporting a total value of 3.71 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022. The U.S. goods imports from China increased 59.7% in 2018 from 2008, with the vast majority of imports being “electrical machinery ($152 billion), machinery ($117 billion), furniture ($35 billion), toys and outdoor equipment ($27 billion), and plastics and plastic parts ($19 billion),” according to the Global Trade Specialists.
According to an article published in Forbes in 2020, more than “70% of active pharmaceutical ingredients used in the U.S. market are produced overseas. Almost all of the ibuprofen sold [in the U.S.] comes from China,” placing the U.S. in a compromised dependence on the country.
Several speakers at AmFest emphasized the importance of limiting U.S. trade relations with China due to the government’s several human rights violations and the threat such a dependence on Chinese goods places on U.S. national security.
