Weakness begets war.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For Sino-American relations, the principle extends far beyond diplomacy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here are four ways America routinely surrenders to China.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Trade<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Actor and WWE wrestler John Cena made waves after he issued an apology \u2014 delivered in Chinese \u2014 for the crime of suggesting that Taiwan is an independent country.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHi China, I\u2019m John Cena,\u201d the star said in a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/john-cena-apologizes-in-chinese-for-calling-taiwan-a-country-i-really-love-really-respect-china\"> <span>video<\/span><\/a><span> posted to a Chinese social media platform. \u201cI\u2019m in the middle of Fast and Furious 9 promotions\u2026 I made one mistake\u2026 I love and respect China and Chinese people. I\u2019m very, very sorry about my mistake. I apologize, I apologize, I\u2019m very sorry. You must understand that I really love, really respect China and the Chinese people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cena was undoubtedly motivated by promoting \u201cFast and Furious 9\u201d to countless millions of enthusiastic Chinese moviegoers. His grifting is by no means unique: American companies must comply with Chinese regulations \u2014 and dogma \u2014 to conduct business in the communist nation, which boasts one of the world\u2019s fastest-growing consumer economies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For instance, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nba-commissioner-on-chummy-ties-to-china-we-have-to-build-relationships\"> <span>notes<\/span><\/a><span> that his organization must \u201cbuild relationships\u201d in order to continue the growth of basketball as \u201cthe most popular team sport\u201d in China. In 2019, Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey faced condemnation from the league for supporting pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Companies in other industries must also avoid displeasing the Chinese regime. Media outlets like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/d121fd70-49f2-11e3-9a21-00144feabdc0\"><span>Bloomberg<\/span><\/a><span> have nixed stories critical of powerful officials in Beijing out of the fear that they could be shut out of the Chinese market. Technology firms like Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo have capitulated to Chinese demands that they provide back doors to their products. Former Attorney General William Barr accordingly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2020\/07\/16\/barr-alleges-apple-collaborating-with-china\/\"><span>slammed<\/span><\/a><span> the companies for \u201cbeing too willing to take steps to ensure access to the large Chinese market.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The economic interdependence that exists between the United States and China has enabled Chinese entities to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2020\/feb\/06\/china-technology-theft-fbi-biggest-threat\"> <span>steal <\/span><\/a><span>between $300 billion and $600 billion in American intellectual property every year.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A large portion of the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/campusreform.org\/article?id=16522\"> <span>theft<\/span><\/a><span> arises from American universities and their research institutes. Last year, one Chinese national was caught smuggling Harvard cancer research in a sock. Others were likewise caught in the possession of software and other assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As the Department of Justice explains, China maintains its \u201cThousand Talents\u201d program to \u201clure overseas talent and foreign experts to bring their knowledge and experience to China and reward individuals for stealing proprietary information.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Academia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Beyond the theft of intellectual property, American academia buckles under China\u2019s ideological offensives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Despite rising pressure from lawmakers, several dozen American universities host chapters of the Confucius Institute \u2014 an entity affiliated with China\u2019s education ministry and labeled by the State Department as \u201cpart of the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s global influence and propaganda apparatus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As a Campus Reform<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/campusreform.org\/article?id=17541%27\"> <span>investigation<\/span><\/a><span> uncovered, several prominent American universities \u2014 including Georgia State University, the University of Toledo, and Southern Utah University \u2014 signed contracts effectively surrendering their academic freedom to the Confucius Institute Headquarters in China. One clause states that the American host institution \u201cmust accept\u201d the \u201cproject assessments conducted by the Headquarters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThink of the equivalent. Suppose somebody in the U.K. decides that they want to sponsor a chair at Harvard in 1779? That would be crazy,\u201d Hudson Institute fellow Seth Cropsey told Campus Reform. \u201cAnd nobody at Harvard in their right mind would have entertained such an idea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Indeed, the American professoriate is by no means vigilant in countering China\u2019s encroachments upon their campuses. Recently, the Washington Free Beacon<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/huawei-ghostwrote-op-ed-for-mit-scholar\/\"> <span>discovered<\/span><\/a><span> that a Huawei employee ghostwrote an op-ed arguing that the United States \u201cshould collaborate with leading technology companies and their research labs, rather than banning them\u201d on behalf of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor. Huawei \u2014 a Chinese telecommunications firm \u2014 is under investigation from the Department of Justice for thirteen counts related to compromising the national security of the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Foreign Policy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>As demonstrated by the Alaska meeting, the United States often fails to interact with China from a position of strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With respect to the investigation into the origins of COVID-19, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PoliticusSarah\/status\/1396865962574585856\"> <span>asked<\/span><\/a><span> White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki why the Biden administration is not \u201cpushing for more access and information to get to the bottom of exactly what happened\u201d with the outbreak of the virus in Wuhan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Psaki explained that the United States would trust the judgment of the WHO \u2014 an entity that the Chinese Communist Party has effectively<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2020\/04\/02\/china-coronavirus-who-health-soft-power\/\"> <span>shepherded<\/span><\/a><span> since the earliest days of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe are. We have repeatedly called for the WHO to support an expert-driven evaluation of the pandemic\u2019s origins that is free from interference or politicization,\u201d Psaki told Doocy. \u201cThere were Phase I results that came through. During the first phase of the investigation, there was not access to data or information provided. Now, we are hopeful that WHO can move into a transparent, independent Phase II investigation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Likewise, the Chinese government is seeking to grow its international influence through the \u201cBelt and Road Initiative\u201d \u2014 an expansive array of foreign infrastructure investments that would establish China as the epicenter of the global economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Although Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled the plan as early as 2013, American officials only joined India in condemning the program four years later. In October 2017, former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis became the first American official to publicly express <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/asia\/report\/chinas-belt-and-road-initiative-strategic-implications-and-international-opposition\"><span>concern<\/span><\/a><span> about the initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Culture<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>While the Chinese government emphasizes cultural values that foster strength, the United States government promulgates cultural values that produce weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In particular, one Department of Defense advertisement centering upon the emotional and psychological experience of an Army recruit experienced widespread backlash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis is the story of a soldier who operates your nation\u2019s Patriot missile Defense Systems,\u201d says the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/army-releases-woke-cartoon-recruitment-ad-after-woke-cia-ads-mocked\"> <span>video<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cIt begins in California with a little girl raised by two moms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The advertisement describes how a Corporal named Emma pursues \u201cher own adventure,\u201d finds \u201cher inner strength,\u201d and shatters \u201cstereotypes\u201d through her career in the Army.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The CIA faced similar criticism after publishing an advertisement that fixates upon an agent\u2019s experience grappling with his homosexual identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cGrowing up gay in a small Southern town, I was lucky to have a wonderful and accepting family.
