So-called renewables are dangerously unreliable because they shift with the natural cycles of wind, sunshine, and tide. The same phenomenon leading to power outages in California has brought China, which has a much bigger population and industry, to its knees.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGoing green in China is less likely to mean wind and solar than hydroelectric. That’s a wise decision because hydroelectric power is more reliable and efficient than wind and solar, but as a water empire, the Communist regime should have reckoned with China’s history of droughts. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina’s green strategy depended on hydropower and the droughts have left it powerless. And its hydropower is anything but environmentally friendly. Mao used dams to revive the water empire strategy of the ancient emperors allowing the Communist regime to starve entire regions of the country and to undermine neighbors like India. The massive number of dams in China, a totalitarian program to enable mass murder, were environmentally devastating before being revamped as “green energy” hydropower. Green energy, as usual, has its roots in genocide.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut the vast majority of China’s hydropower plants are so useless that the regime has been shutting down tens of thousands of them. The environmental damage from Mao’s dam program destroyed enough bodies of water that there’s no more hydropower to be gained from them.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat is the real face of China’s “green energy”: a genocidal environmentalist boondoggle.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELike their Soviet Communist counterparts who reported 96% successful wheat harvests even while the peasants starved, Chinese Communist officials were pressured to fake numbers for the hydropower projects to prop up Xi’s international green energy commitments. As the droughts devastated hydropower capacity, Communist officials responded with drastic power cuts that are harming Chinese industry, its exports, and even killing people with rationing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs the hot summer surged, China desperately began searching for coal overseas to prepare for the coming winter. The Communist regime scrambled to conduct industrial triage, banning bitcoin miners and cracking down on online gaming, officially for social welfare, but really as a desperate effort to reduce power usage in a country with a booming internet culture.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina, like California, is desperately rationing energy. Some places are only allocated a few days of power a week. Part of the supply chain disaster wreaking havoc on American consumers is actually originating at the source with some Chinese factories only being given power for a day or two leaving them unable to manufacture products or fulfill orders.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEven while Chinese propaganda touts new skyscrapers and bizarre bridges, its cities are going dark and the residents are buying candles. It’s not unusual for Chinese drivers to navigate evening roads with no lights and for Communist officials to urge people to open their windows instead of turning on air conditioners and to use “natural light” instead of electricity.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWorsening the green energy disaster is China’s Communist hostility to a market economy which made it impossible for utilities to use price signals and cope with the demands and shortages. China’s electric rates are capped leading to the same results as in South Africa’s socialist power grid in which the utilities would go bankrupt providing more power when coal is too expensive. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut China’s Communists, like Soviet Communists, can’t escape market economics. The power shortages are leading to price hikes for products, decreasing exports, and a lower growth rate. It’s also causing Xi’s regime to aggressively threaten Taiwan after consolidating control over Hong Kong as the Communist dictatorship tries to project strength and plots to seize the wealth of other nations, like Taiwan, to compensate for the domestic failures of the corrupt regime.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen Kerry, Biden’s climate czar, headed off to China to \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/2021\/09\/communist-china-sustainably-humiliates-john-kerry-daniel-greenfield\/\"\u003Eplead with the regime \u003C\/a\u003Eto cut back on its use of coal, the Communists humiliated Kerry and read off a list of demands, including an end to sanctions on its slave labor solar panels. Kerry dutifully returned once more from Asia spouting the Communist propaganda of his hosts and once again he was taken for a ride by his captors.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EXi couldn’t cut the use of coal even if the world were ending because it would end his regime. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina survived the counter-Communist revolutionists that toppled the USSR and its satellites because it was able to offer the benefits of consumerism, from smartphones to sodas, to a people who were a generation away from planned government famines. The Communists traded enough of their ideology to survive. They won’t doom themselves for environmentalism.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EXi’s crackdown on Chinese big industries, the threats to big internet companies, its entertainment industry, and its tycoons is not a show of strength, but a sign of weakness. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Communist regime is anticipating trouble and is going to the mattresses, consolidating control over companies and the culture to be able to ride out a crisis that it expects will be much bigger than the pandemic. As Xi’s regime panics, green energy may end up on the kill list.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina’s dam obsession wrecked its rivers and as the past year has shown, it cannot expect to service the demands of a growing population and booming industry with the bodies of water that it has spent generations destroying. Green energy isn’t China’s future, but the past, and its emperors were far wiser stewards of its rivers than the Maoists and the Communist regime. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Communist regime can fill Taiwan’s skies with warplanes and threaten India and Australia, hold Canadians hostage and browbeat American diplomats, but it’s powerless when its economic pyramid scheme fails to heat and light the homes of the Chinese people.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERed China tried to go green.

Its biological attack wasn’t aimed exclusively at America, but at the high-functioning economies in open societies who are its customers and enemies. And the attack succeeded in crippling the world’s top two economies while making them more dependent on China’s economic machine.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina’s image has taken a beating around the world for unleashing the virus, lying about it, and then cashing in on the disaster, but it has come out of it with more money and power than ever.

The past year provided the Communist regime with a blueprint for getting rich by weakening its enemies.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENow that China knows that it can unleash a virus, lie about it, and come out stronger than ever, why wouldn’t it do it again?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina has come out of the plague year stronger than ever by spreading the virus and then selling America and Europe, battered by the pandemic, lockdowns, and turmoil, the masks and base compounds to protect itself. The biological attack allowed China to not only test us, but to test its own society, using the pandemic to centralize and solidify control over its population.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe real weapon wasn’t the virus. It was chaos.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChaos is the weapon of the insurgency, political, international, and ideological, against an open society. It’s a familiar weapon that China is currently better built to endure than we are.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen the Soviet Union kickstarted the new age of Islamic terrorism, it was betting that the chaos of bombings and airline hijackings would take a more serious toll on open societies that care about civil rights and the judicial system. Communist regimes were much better suited to suppressing terrorism and to expecting their citizens to shrug off acts of random terror.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Russians took quite a beating in Afghanistan and Chechnya from the virus they originally unleashed, and there have been devastating acts of terrorism, most notably in Beslan, but domestic terrorism was never much of an issue until the fall of the USSR. And despite the growing Muslim population in the territories under its control, terrorism hasn’t crippled Russia to the extent that it has Europe. Nor did it make Russia spin out of control the way it did America.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe pandemic, like terrorism and online hacking, is the latest in a series of chaos weapons directed at our society. And it may be the most effective of the chaos weapons to date.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELike terrorism, the virus shuts down travel, collapses economies, and creates uncertainty and doubt. These are conditions that weaken open societies, but strengthen closed ones. Even a sizable death toll doesn’t worry a country that has spent generations struggling to roll back an excess population. The people most likely to die in a pandemic, older men or lower class male workers, are considered a burden or surplus to the new Chinese economy anyway.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe virus, from the PRC’s perspective, helps shed the dead weight of useless people.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Chinese perspective is horrifying but not that foreign. Did the Democrat administrations, hospital systems and health care experts that forced nursing homes in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California, among others, to accept infected patients not know what would happen? Or did they think that “the old man’s friend” would rid them of useless people?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile the pandemic and their policies have been devastating for America, they’ve been mostly helpful to Democrats from a demographic and political perspective. The people most likely to die of the virus are older, and therefore statistically more conservative. The lockdowns broke down small businesses, another conservative demographic, and shattered health care systems, accelerating the collapse of the healthcare industry, and its takeover by the government.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBefore the pandemic, Democrats were going up against a 2020 incumbent with a booming economy. By Election Day, the country had turned into a very different place than it had been.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe world’s third largest economy and the second largest party of the world’s largest economy had common interests that the pandemic fulfilled. Pandemic America is more like China, more centralized, more dependent on the Big Tech oligarchy, and more willing to set aside its basic freedoms to cope with a crisis. Everything that the Left claimed was true of 9\/11, but wasn’t, has proven all too true of the COVID-19 crisis which replaced civil liberties with emergency rule.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd normalized collectivism under the rule of unelected officials bolstered by mass propaganda.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAll China has to do if it wants to keep turning America into an inept socialist kleptocracy with no economy to speak of, a vast underclass, and a small corrupt overclass, is keep feeding the chaos. What the Russians tried to do in their usual clunky and showy way by utilizing the inherent chaos of the internet, the Chinese did much more smoothly and cleanly with a virus.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina wants America broken, but not destroyed. We are their best customers.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFrom China’s perspective, the pandemic showcased the superiority of their society, their system and their culture, while highlighting the inferiority of our own. The cheering crowds in Wuhan were meant to show the superiority of the Communist regime to that of the United States.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd to remind Chinese citizens not to long for the political and cultural freedoms of Americans.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMutually Assured Destruction was based on the idea that neither side would be willing to flirt with destruction. But China’s biowarfare attack ‘nuked’ itself, before going on to cause destruction among the economies targeted by the Communist regime. The Communist grip on power had been based on this fundamental willingness to sacrifice millions for its goals. And while the Communist regime maintained its popularity by offering social mobility and consumer gadgets, its elite remain committed to that same genocidal maoist willingness to kill millions.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina’s biowarfare lab in Wuhan infected its own city before going on to release deadlier strains of the virus in Europe. The Wuhan release tested China’s own society and demonstrated the regime’s willingness to kill its own people in unknown numbers for the sake of the greater good.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAll of this makes Communist China a deadlier enemy than the Soviet Union ever was.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe challenge of this century is how America can meet an enemy that is both seductive and ruthless, capturing our economy at the source and then killing us by the hundreds of thousands.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAmerica has faltered in the face of the chaos weapons of terrorism and internet attacks. The biowarfare attack of 2020 proved to be even more effective at bringing down our society.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe American experiment departed from previous governing philosophies by not using government to manage chaos, but trusting to the people to do their own managing. Leftist movements met such open societies by exploiting their openness to spread chaos. The Soviet and then the Chinese Communist strategy was to boost the chaos with state sponsorship.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe stakes of the virus cold war are much the same as those of previous chaos campaigns. The fundamental question is whether we can defeat chaos assaults without turning into our enemies.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Democrats met the pandemic, as they have met other crises in the last generation, by wishing that we were more like China. But a Democrat America would be a very poor man’s China, a nationwide California run by men and women lacking China’s nationalism, solidarity, and efficiency, while adopting its totalitarian technocracy with brutal incompetence.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAmerica can’t beat China by becoming China. No more than it could beat Russia by becoming Russia. The only meaningful American victory is one that makes us a stronger America.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEurope and America have tried responding to the pandemic with government control. And we failed. Government is not our strength. The rule of experts is not what makes us great. The power of our people has been in individual initiative, in volunteerism, innovation, and the wisdom of crowds. That is what the Communists of every generation have feared about us.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEvery time we respond to chaos with government, we become more vulnerable to chaos.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAmerican resilience lies in our individuality. The Chinese endure collectively. We innovate individually. When the government takes away our individuality, we become third-rate Communists, outsourcing our products to China and demanding government handouts, while our government leaders party in pricey restaurants. We must become Americans again.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe only way America will survive this new coronavirus cold war is to reclaim its heritage.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWe can survive and thrive on chaos, not because we are obedient collectivists like the citizens of the PRC, but because we are individuals who crowdsource solutions on our initiative.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis was a nation built on chaos. Americans not only built the first true free society, but they did it out of the refugees, exiles, and leavings of Europe. This was a nation built by individualists and nonconformists who tamed the wilderness and conquered the frontier. Government did not build this nation, as Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama falsely claimed, pioneers built it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGovernment can only destroy it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAmericans can’t be better collectivists than Chinese Communists.

This year, during the coronavirus crisis, Soros came out against working with the People’s Republic of China against the virus.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe source of Soros' opposition is the fear he expressed at Davos that the PRC's social credit system could \"sound the death knell of open societies\". By open societies, he meant globalism.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EUnlike many, Soros isn’t worried about the loss of personal freedom, but the endurance of the nation state. China, like Russia, has shown that a nation-state with mass propaganda, a censored internet, a powerful secret police, and all the digital toys on sale in stores can survive the pressures of modernity that are fracturing the nations and peoples of the Western world.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut all of that depends on the PRC’s ability to generate wealth and raise living standards.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChina is engaging in massive economic warfare, not just for the obvious reasons, but so that the Communist Party can maintain its grip on power by delivering the same lifestyle of digital toys enjoyed by Westerners to the PRC’s middle class and rather more lavish lifestyles for the rich.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat Soros was also implicitly admitting was that globalism faces its biggest threat, not from Western revivals of nationalism, but from non-Western nations that never stopped being nationalistic. Globalism is a Western idea that Non-Western nations never bought into.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe League of Nations was fatally wounded by Japanese aggression against China. The United Nations was fatally discredited when it expelled Taiwan and replaced it with China at the behest of a membership of non-Western Third World nations allied with the Soviet Union.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EInternational trade bodies were heavily tested by Japan and then wrecked by China.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe laws of war and the refugee system, once the moral underpinnings of internationalism,, were brutally exploited by Islamic states to wage terrorist campaigns and funnel colonists into western nations. Erdogan’s Turkey has been the first state to openly weaponize migrants, demanding money and concessions in exchange for not sending migrants into Europe.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe global club was built for Western countries.

Communist agents routinely stole and copied Western technology and designs. The Chinese habit of exploring a business deal with a Western company, only to gain access to its trade secrets, had been the default tactic for industries in Warsaw Pact nations.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhere the Soviet Union failed, Communist China succeeded, not only because of a superior work ethic and skill set, but because globalist institutions welcomed in, and the internet allowed it to overwhelm domestic manufacturers in other countries, while hacking their trade secrets.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGlobalism’s fatal flaw was the messianic assumption that other peoples shared its worldview. There was no reason for Beijing, Tokyo, Tehran, or Islamabad to share a particular strain of thought whose origins are distinctly European in philosophy, law, and secularized religion.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThey’re happy to join the club, exploit it for all it’s worth, and then shrug their shoulders at any moral responsibility to what we would see as a hippie handing out free lunches to everyone.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENow the hippie experiment is drawing to a close because it doesn’t serve anyone’s interest.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EExcept the people taking the free lunches.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDuring the Cold War, America fought Communist influence through a global infrastructure with varying degrees of success. After the Cold War, the global infrastructure became the threat with Islamic terrorists arriving at airports as refugees and China picking America’s economy clean.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGlobalism has been portrayed as rising, but in reality it’s waning.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGeorge W. Bush ran against nation-building until September 11 reset America back to Cold War rules with Islamism in place of Communism. Barack Obama ran against American power and proved reluctant to engage in military interventions. Obama’s idea of globalism was building leaderless coalitions and he ended America’s role as a world leader on the international stage.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EPresident Trump has been reshaping foreign policy to serve America’s domestic economic needs, while urging allies to coordinate in pursuit of their own domestic political interests. Under Trump, America is much less likely to dictate what other nations should be doing. Instead, it’s been telling the rest of the world to do what it thinks is best with little regard for a global agenda.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe White House and State Department haven’t been shy about leaning on the UK over Huawei, or on Germany over its energy links to Russia, but unlike its predecessors it doesn’t see every single thing other countries do as a piece in a large puzzle that must be measured against international law and integrated into global coalitions. America still throws its weight around when pushing against economic threats from major powers. It’s a return to 19th century diplomacy, while dismissing the failed international experiments of the 20th century.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETo leftists, globalism sacrifices international values to American interests and to conservatives, globalism is a problem because it sacrifices American interests to international values.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEither way, it’s unsustainable.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGlobalism is being torn apart by the same demographic forces that are destroying the nation-state. The social contracts that govern a country or the international order depend on the willingness of all the participants to believe in the larger community. At the most basic level, that’s represented by the balance of giving and taking through the social contract.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAltruists give more than they take, deadbeats take more than they give, and abusers take everything and give nothing except where it directly serves their short-term interests.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDomestic demographic changes are destroying the social contracts of the welfare state and internationally the social contract and its infrastructure have been hijacked by non-Western nations with no regard for the Western obsession with maintaining an international community.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGlobalism was fueled by the myth of a global community that could never exist.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECommunist China and the Islamists have spent the last 30 years demonstrating that it can’t and won’t. Communities are built around shared values. When there are no shared values, there’s no community. That’s as true globally as it is in the streets of London and New York City.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGlobalists have struggled with the failure of the social contract by blaming those who abide by it, middle-class native homeowners locally, and America and its allies globally. But internalizing the blame doesn’t make a community work. As we’ve seen in major American cities this year, permissively accepting abuses of the social contract out of guilt destroys communities.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EA community must have a way of dealing with those who violate the social contract. If it can’t rein in nations and individuals who violate the social contract, then violations become the norm, and people and nations abandon the failed community because it doesn’t protect their interests.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen there are few shared values, then communities have to spend more time and force policing the social contract. That can mean militarized police, surveillance cameras, and DNA databanks in major cities, and a constant state of war and endless military deployments abroad.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe lack of a shared social contract turns life, locally or globally, into a perpetual struggle.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELeftist political philosophies have tried to dodge this crisis by defending the perpetrators and blaming the victims. But no matter whom they blame, their system is still falling apart.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGlobalism is dying.
