Summary: | This essay addresses four of the primary ways that China is deceiving America’s youth into self-defeating and self-destructive behavior. The strategies include global re-education as indoctrination, the production of prerequisite ingredients for fentanyl, hi-tech apps such as TikTok, and Confucius Institutes. The evidence shows that too many Western, including American, policy-makers readily accept Chinese Communist Party’s revisionist history, and tend to disparage what often are reasonably accurate accounts of history from their own countries. The essay also calls for greater awareness and compassion regarding fentanyl opioid addiction and comprehension of TikTok’s deleterious effects. Americans need to be more aware of the views of professors who have participated in Confucius Institutes that compromise academic freedom. The essay concludes that the United States should be more discerning about China’s motives, especially with regards to youths, in extending "soft power" to Sino-form the world, and act to counter China’s quest for world dominance. |
