After the latest round of Chinese attacks on America, Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Malta.
The two men could not be more different.
Wang Yi, one of the public faces of Chinese’s hyper-aggressive style of ‘wolf warrior diplomacy’, is a 69-year-old member of China’s Communist politburo while Sullivan was a Hillary Clinton hanger-on who got lucky enough to be advising Biden on foreign policy after Hillary left.
While Wang Yi made his name by aggressively barraging enemy nations, Sullivan made his through appeasement most notably on Iran. After his shameful record on Iran under Obama, Sullivan went so far as to propose lifting sanctions on Iran under Biden on an interim basis.
But Sullivan’s serial meetings with Wang are where he really shines. At a meeting in Anchorage, Alaska in 2021, Sullivan unctuously welcomed Wang with a completely inappropriate recitation of the economic triumphs of the Biden administration while the Chinese diplomat responded by calling Sullivan one of the “true friends for the Chinese people” before blasting the United States. After China’s spy balloon penetrated the United States in order to surveil Air Force installations, Sullivan and Wang met in Vienna. Now there’s yet another meeting.
But there is an interesting ‘lost years’ period in Sullivan’s life during the Trump era.
After Hillary lost, Sullivan, her deputy chief of staff at the State Department and the chief foreign policy advisor on her campaign, had to look for a new line of work.
And he found one “consulting” at Macro Advisory Partners.
Co-founded by Nader Mousavizadeh, an Iranian from Europe, who worked as a special assistant to the notoriously corrupt former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the former UN employee brought along Laila Manji, another UN veteran who had also worked for Annan.
Sir John Sawers, the former chief of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) joined Macro Advisory Partners and acts as its chair and general partner. David Claydon, its former co-founder and CEO, was an adviser to Britain’s Foreign Secretary.
Macro scored a coup by bringing on board not only Biden’s future national security adviser, but also Bill Burns, Biden’s somewhat unexpected choice for CIA Director. Also on board was Denis McDonough, Obama’s former national security adviser, currently acting as Biden’s VA Secretary.
The decision by future and former top United States security officials and diplomats to join an organization that has been described as being headed by former foreign spy chiefs was dubious.
Even more dubious was that Nader Mousavizadeh, its Iranian co-founder, had vocally used his platform to oppose conflict with China. Thomas Friedman’s New York Times column, the sort of nonsense read by the cognoscenti, included long quotes from Mousavizadeh on China in which the Macro boss argued against viewing China as promoting the “global spread of authoritarianism” and warned that fighting back would only make China more nationalistic.
“The danger is that we’re sleepwalking into a generational conflict that is neither necessary nor one that we in the West are prepared for, any more than the Chinese,” Mousavizadeh warned. “If the tariff war now underway culminates with removing Chinese citizens from Western businesses, and U.S. citizens from Chinese companies out of fears of espionage or theft, it will constitute an irreversible step toward generational enmity.”
Friedman, with typical dishonesty, did not mention that one of the big functions of Macro Advisory Partners was helping companies navigate regulations and sanctions when it came to doing business in and around the People’s Republic of China. Aiding in that effort are a list of MAP’s China advisors who include a former deputy national security advisor, the former acting undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, and the former deputy assistant secretary of state for South Asia.
While Jake Sullivan’s ambit at Macro was reportedly focused on U.S. and European companies, one of them included Standard Chartered: a British multinational bank with significant financial interests in China.
When Sullivan joined the Biden administration, his assets were a towering $7.5 million to $27.5 million. Sullivan, whose father had been a University of Minnesota journalism professor, boasted what ABC News described as “a long list of residential and commercial real estate properties scattered throughout Florida and New Hampshire” which made up much of his wealth. The properties included everything from a golf course to land zoned for a church.
Officially, Sullivan had only earned in the low six figures from Macro, nonetheless he was a millionaire. Does Wang Yi have an interest in a Florida golf course? Probably not, but who knows? And when Sullivan meets with Wang, does he think of his time with Macro? Does he consider how much more profitable it would be if we stopped thinking of China as our enemy?
After an initial cover-up of the Chinese spy balloon, the Biden administration was forced to shoot it down to save face with the American public. Now the administration has released a National Intelligence Estimate claiming that the spy balloon had been blown off course and that it had not transmitted any intelligence to the People’s Republic of China. The estimate is as untrustworthy as it is unreliable. In May 2023, Sullivan was already meeting with Wang to move beyond the espionage incident. Since then, the Communist dictatorship has launched multiple hacking attacks, including some aimed directly at the State Department, with no consequences.
In July, Sullivan claimed that the Chinese hackers did not penetrate any classified information and vowed to hold them accountable. As of August, he had no further updates on any plan to hold China accountable. This has been the standard pattern for the Biden administration. China launches an attack, the administration promises to take it seriously and then buries it. In doing so, the People’s Republic of China gets the green light to escalate and do it all over again.
The Biden administration is one long extended conflict of interest so no one bothers to ask whether the national security adviser ought to be a man who worked for a consultancy focused on improving economic relations with China. And yet it’s a question that ought to be asked.
Perhaps American diplomacy could use fewer “true friends for the Chinese people” and more true friends of the American people.
I think Jamie did some videos on Bill Burns.
It’s amusing that Fire Marshall Bill Burns would burn down the institution he was there to protect.
Whereas he did it through incompetence, this administration does it intentionally (in spite of their incompetence).
FJB and the mail-in ballots he rode in on.
Why Malta? So they could both have a holiday at the taxpayers expense?
Malta has a monument near Qrendi that tells of the barbarism of the Muslim invaders who were ultimately defeated. The decision to meet in a country that openly criticises Islam should be enough for him to be fired.
What type & cost of missile did FJB use to shoot down that $14 hobby balloon?
(Proving that this chickenshit administration wasn’t ever really concerned about debris falling on citizens.)
Is there anyone in the Democratic Party who isn’t sympathetic to, or on the take from, China?
Sen Menendez. Good thing they’re fixing that.
Daniel,
They’re not. A weed must be pulled by its roots, and there are too many. We must wait. However, pulling a weed by its roots is beneficial.
JOE BIDEN – ALWAYS A DEDICATED SERVANT TO THE OTHER SIDE.
Comer: Chinese Businessman Wired Money to Hunter Biden Using Joe Biden’s Home Address
House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle” that President Joe Biden’s son Hunter used his father’s home address when a Chinese businessman with ties to the Chinese Communist Party wired him $250,000.
That Socialist, tyrant, Joe Biden, likes and admires Communist China very much and will support that Red tyranny as for a he is able to. Likewise, Biden won’t oppose its President Xi Jinping in any way.
Biden has such a strong admiration for Red China that he even has his Beijing type political prison in Washington DC which must obviously be modeled on how Communist China mistreats and abuses its own political prisoners who were falsely arrested on January 6, 2021 at Washington D.C
For in the Biden gulag the American patriots falsely arrested in that leftist set up gets worse, those the patriots are kept 23 hours alone in single dark moldy cells to not working plumbing, and this means not even a working toilet. They are also given little food and the little they do receive is of very poor quality. In other words the food is terrible, they are also denied proper medical care, no matter how much anyone on them might desperately need it
This is like the political prison in Communist China. So it’s no wonder that Joe Biden likes Red China and have many of his polices favoring that Red tyranny.
That socialist tyrant Biden barely knows where he is anymore, let alone having enough brains to remember who he admires. As for the rest of the traitors in his admin (or his family), they serve their masters well. And as for the J6 prisoners, look at them, see your future, and be very afraid…
Bogus “president” Joe Biden completely refuses to do anything many terrible things that Red China engages in. Biden absolutely will nothing even if he is able to.
For a number of sinister reasons, such as he admires the socialism / Communist ideology of mainland China.
Biden must also like the tyrannical oppressor of Communist China against its citizens since he absolutely is copying Red China’s imprisonment system of that regime’s tyrant Xi Jinping who has political prisoners who are held in cruel cells and treated terrible and denied their basis human rights.
For that Joe Biden has political prisoners from January 6, 2021, who are held in cruel cells and treated terrible and denied their basic human rights.
Another sinister reason that Biden will do nothing to help victims of Red China is because he is so horribly corrupt that he willingly accepts bribes from Xi Jinping and other high ranking members of the ruling Communist party of China.
About that last point ,the Bible reads ” The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.”
Proverbs 17:23. [N. I. V.]
Libs embrace America’s decline and so does China so that’s a great formula for a one-sided friendship. Now all they have to do is sell the American people which shouldn’t be harder than selling them Pfizer.
These assholes, are just another in a long line assholes who have sold themselves to the highest bidder, and in turn our country.
Yes, Xi in China owns Beijing Biden, which explains this latest debacle.
I think Zelenskyyyy has part ownership, as well.
The Chinese people are hard working, they are like many peoples who live under Socialism and Communism. Its pretty bad when your own government in America would rather support foreign countries over their own country! America must be eliminated as a world power for the One World government to be the World’s power. Its. called being dismantled.
“Since its creation in 1789, the Department of State has carried out a series of reorganizations and has created new offices and bureaus to deal with new diplomatic challenges.”
– from Office of the Historian, Department of State, United States of America.
Well, that’s an understatement.
It’s a long way off to November 2024. Lots of time between now and then for anything to happen.
While we’re waiting –
Is it a silly idea for the nation to study – not to replace, erase and forget about the past – its foundational beginnings? Specifically, to learn about the purpose of creating the modest US State Department in 1789. How did it mutate into Godzilla?
Why not? Call it soul searching.
What have we got to lose?
im sure i can hear a funeral dirge in the background .
The Fox guarding the Henhouse the Democrats are total Goat Ropers
