Webinar | Is It War Yet: When Will We Recognize the CCP’s Belligerence Has Crossed the Line?

Amidst talk of progress on an end to hostilities in Ukraine, the war emanating from the other side of the world continues, at best, to be misunderstood and, at worst, greatly exacerbated by our inattention.

That is the war the Chinese Communist Party has long waged against the United States. Consider just a few examples of the damage the CCP has done to date with ongoing and intensifying “unrestricted warfare” aimed at destroying America:

It has hollowed out our industrial base, ravaging the economy.
It has killed over a million of us with biological warfare in the form of COVID-19.

It has murdered half-a-million more with chemical warfare inflicted by weaponized fentanyl.

And tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers are inside our country prepared to do even worse to America’s people and infrastructure.

This CPDC webinar takes stock of the foregoing and other evidence that we are at war with the Chinese Communist Party – and that continuing to pretend otherwise is a formula for losing. It also examines appropriate and urgently needed responses by this country and its allies if that horrific fate is to be avoided.
