It's amazing how leftist cable shows sound like they're still stuck in 2017 complaining about how Russia owns Donald Trump. Take truth-challenged MSNBC host Brian Williams, who oozed on Friday night that Trump is "absent" when the house is "on fire." Former Obama aide Jeremy Bash claimed "Russia got a fantastic return on their investment in 2016."

President Donald Trump’s WeChat executive order shows the war on Chinese subterfuge is bigger than just TikTok. Trump issued two different executive orders on Thursday evening: The “Executive Order on Addressing the Threat Posed by TikTok” placed a ban on TikTok from being used in the U.S., and the “Executive Order on Addressing the Threat Posed by WeChat” placed a ban on WeChat.

President Donald Trump’s administration warned that it was considering a ban on Chinese social media. And it delivered in a big way last evening. Trump signed an executive order Thursday night, “Executive Order on Addressing the Threat Posed by TikTok,” banning transactions with communist Chinese-owned ByteDance Ltd. or its subsidiaries, including the TikTok app.

In an era where governments use news outlets to launder their state propaganda as objective news, one Big Tech company is now beginning to take a decent stand by labeling government and state-affiliated media. Twitter Inc. announced that going forward, the company “will label some state-backed media accounts, as well as accounts belonging to ‘key government officials’ for certain countries, to…

Even the left is beginning to understand the danger of the Chinese-owned app TikTok after months of concern. 
Bloomberg news reported on July 27 that the Biden campaign sent a memo to staffers, telling them to delete the app from both their work and personal devices due to security and privacy concerns.

Whether it's the response to COVID-19 or the consulate in Houston being ordered closed, whenever a China-related controversy is the news, MSNBC wonders if President Trump is just looking for a distraction. MSNBC Live host Katy Tur wondered if Trump's announcement that the U.S. might ban the TikTok app and later consideration of a possible buyout by Microsoft was "because he needed a…

Liberal business outlets elevating the Chinese state media’s attack on the U.S. over the data-harvesting Chinese app TikTok is a disgusting example of their anti-American bent.

“The overwhelming humidity of the Chinese summer was not enough to stifle the ardor of the crowds of 20-somethings honoring Mao Zedong, the founding father of Communist China,” that’s how a disgusting Tuesday morning article in The Washington Post began. The headline of the shameful propaganda piece declared: “Trump views China’s Communist Party as a threat. Young Chinese see it as a ticket to…

Hours after ESPN decided to stand up to China on Wednesday by publishing a devastation piece on player abuse at the NBA’s Chinese academies, CNN and Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer brought on NBA commissioner Adam Silver for a 16-minute segment that not only ignored the league’s love affair with the communist, concentration camp-running country, but Silver’s support for Joe Biden.…

Substituting for Joy Reid on MSNBC's AM Joy, Tiffany Cross asked National Diversity Coalition for Trump's Bruce LeVell: "[H]as Donald Trump has ever promised you anything financially in exchange for your blind support of his administration, or helping his campaign?" Cross also "correct[ed]" LeVell for using the term "China virus," calling it "racist." But Cross repeatedly refused to answer…

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) ripped The New York Times on Wednesday after they published on op-ed from a Chinese scientist trashing the American response to the coronavirus. "Explicit Chinese propaganda: No problem," he tweeted. "Op-ed from a Republican Senator supported by most Americans: Fire the editor!" 

Andrea Mitchell welcomed Virginia Senator and former vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine onto her Wednesday show to discuss the State Department ordering the Chinese consulate in Houston to be closed by Friday. Mitchell wondered if the decision was just political grandstanding by President Trump to distract from his failing on the pandemic.

Let’s face it: “Uyghurs” isn’t easy to spell, and “Stand With Hong Kong” is kind of long for the back of a jersey, at least compared to “BLM.” And being confronted with actual systemic oppression is pretty embarrassing for millionaire athletes who fancy themselves social justice warriors. So the victims of the Chinese communist government really couldn’t expect even a nod from the oh-so woke…

Back there in the stone age of March, 2020, I focused in this space on the media and China. The headline: "The Media’s Communist China Problem." In which was discussed the uncanny willingness of American liberal media ( like CNN and The New York Times) to stand up for, if not bed down with, the government of China - aka the Chinese Communist Party.This week, Attorney General William Barr…
