The next confrontation with China will come in the Philippines.

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday morning with us today is Gordon g Chang did give us an update what the heck is going on in the Far East with China and all the surrounding areas and Gordon Chang give us an update what’s going on?

0:15 Speaker 2 Yeah, seven days ago, Chinese vessels ram two Philippine boats at Second Thomas Shoal, which is part of the Philippines in the South China Sea. This was a dangerous escalation. So on Wednesday, President Biden, in his initial remarks as he was welcoming the Australian Prime Minister to Washington, actually issued a warning that the United States was willing to

0:39 use force to oppose China’s actions. This was to discharge our mutual defense obligations with the Philippines in our nineteen fifty one treaty. In other words, Biden was saying that we are willing to go to war with China. That’s how bad the situation is in the South China Sea right now, because China over the last especially the last

1:01 couple of months, has been engaged in very dangerous activities at both tewod Thomas and Scarborough Shoals. The Chinese think they can get away with these provocative incidents, and these are the types of events that can lead to global war.

1:17 And the reason is that if China does sparkle war in the Philippines, there’s no way that in Beijing they can back down because right now only the most hostile answers are considered to be politically acceptable. And if China goes to war, we can have to assume that North Korea will attack South Korea, and maybe even Russia may

1:38 come in and try to grab some of Japan’s northern islands. So we have conflicts spreading very quickly. That means jan.

1:48 Speaker 1 Like three wars, I mean the one in Taiwan and the South China see Korea, Ukraine, Iran I meaned a lot.

2:04 Speaker 2 Well, we certainly are and this shows you that once peace and stability break down, war can spread very fast. And the question is, I think, is we almost have to confront China and Russia wherever they are. And the reason is if we were, for instance, to let the Russians have Ukraine, then China and Russia could divert the

2:26 resources that otherwise would have gone into the war in Ukraine to attacking us someplace else. But even more important than that, in the sense that once China and Russia start to have victories, they create a sense of invincibility and therefore it makes it very difficult to oppose them elsewhere.

2:46 So we’re at a point where global order could dissolve quickly. And remember it’s not just China and Russia. The State Department about a week ago warned that Azerbaijohn and Armenia could go to war with each other. That’s not a China issue, but what it is shows that once order falls, it breaks down, then countries around the world thinks that

3:08 they could think that they can attack each other. That is really really dangerous.

3:15 Speaker 1 Now with Saudi Arabia, people tell me that the reason Iran I used Hamas to attack Israel is they were very nervous about Saudi Arabia aligning themselves with China. Now with China, Saudi Arabia aligning themselves with Israel.

3:39 Speaker 2 Yes, well before October seventh, when Hamas attacked Israel, it looked like Israel and Saudi Arabia might come to terms, which would have been historic. This would have been a continuation of President Trump’s Abraham Accords, which brought peace to the Middle East. What Biden did when he became president, was he made good on his prom is to make

4:00 Saudi Arabia a pariah over the Kashoki murder, and that opened up the door for China to establish warm relations with Saudi Arabia and to toss out the United States. Remember when Biden went to Saudi Arabia, the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman just took his revenge on the US and humiliated our president. So really, what Biden has done

4:24 is he’s opened the door to this disorder in the Middle East. Also, people in the region are saying that the Biden administration’s failure to respond to a Hoothi attack on Bahrain forces was a signal to Iran that they interpreted that means that they could have, you know, attack Israel, which is what happened. So the failure to be resolute

4:50 to support our friends like Bahrain have led Iran and Hamas to think that they could get away with an attack on Israel.

5:00 Speaker 1 That is interesting. What else would you like to tell you American people this Sunday.

5:07 Speaker 2 Morning, This time is the most consequential in our era. This is the time when we can re establish order or we can see the world fall apart. And conflicts break out all over. If there is war around the world, it will also be fought on American soil. Because we know that the Biden administration has allowed hundreds, if not

5:31 thousands of Chinese males of military age, pretending not to speak English, coming here without family members with known links to the Chinese military, and so whatever, you know, what we saw in Israel on October seventh could very well happen here. And by the way, in that September eleventh deal that President Biden announced with Iran, the hostage released

5:57 the six billion dollars that went to Iran. That was also at the same time when Biden gave clemency to two or three Iranian operatives and didn’t send them back to Iran. He released them into the United States, which means that Iranian and Chinese operatives can link up and attack us. So this is a precarious time.

6:20 Speaker 1 Well, Gordon Chang, I pray for our country. I pray for stability. The economy is going like crap the wrong direction because of the high interest rates. But let’s catch up again real soon.

6:38 Speaker 2 Thank you so much, John, and stay safe.
