Russia, Russia, Russia!<\/p>\n
While the media and lawmakers have been spending too much \u201cwasted time\u201d on Russia, Project 21<\/a><\/strong> Co-Chairman Horace Cooper<\/a><\/strong> argues that America has paid too little attention to the threat posed by China.<\/p>\n On a recent edition of the nationally-syndicated \u201cArmstrong Williams Show,\u201d Horace and the panel were asked to comment on an interview<\/a><\/strong> in which Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai suggested that the NBA\u2019s recent capitulation<\/a><\/strong> to China indicated that the Chinese might also be able to \u201cexport their censorship, their\u00a0anti-Democratic values and ultimately their\u00a0control\u201d if they leverage their economic, technological and military might against the United States.<\/p>\n Horace, with no protest from the panel, noted:<\/p>\n Our international threat comes from China. And, if we want to have a business partnership, it needs to be redefined \u2013 this relationship. It need to be redefined. And \u2013 presently \u2013 it is a one-way street in which one person is enriched and the other party is not.<\/p>\n And we \u2013 too many of our representatives, too many of our businesses, too many of our organizations \u2013 are so interested in getting a little piece of the China pie that we give up a lot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n To counter this threat, Horace advised that there needs to be a sea-change in the way America as a nation perceives and deals with the Chinese threat. He said:<\/p>\n We haven\u2019t seen any pushback whatsoever. What we\u2019ve seen is a red carpet\u2026<\/p>\n It\u2019s time that the American people and our government and our business community come together and recognize there are serious threats that go beyond a short-term penny gain today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
