Former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell did more to inform us about the details surrounding the Obama administration’s attempts to undermine and depose President Donald Trump, and for that alone, the president’s supporters will be eternally grateful.
But there is so much more he knows that he simply cannot talk about because doing so would not only get him in legal hot water, but it would also compromise national security.

So, when he tweeted out a Tucker Carlson segment detailing the threat China poses to the United States with a semi-cryptic message, it made us take note.
“This is a must watch,” Grenell wrote, adding: “Everyone in the intel community knows that China is a top US national security concern. And there is so much more that we can’t say.
Powerful.
The Washington Examiner has more:
During the segment, Carlson played a clip of Di Donsheng, a professor at Renmin University in Beijing, claiming that the Chinese Communist Party has people “at the top of America’s core inner circle of power and influence.” The video was deleted off of China’s social media platforms shortly after it was uploaded.
Di claimed, according to Carlson, that the people they have in the top levels of the U.S. government have been less successful in their espionage attempts since President Trump was elected.
“But the problem is that after 2008, the status of Wall Street has declined, and more importantly, after 2016, Wall Street can’t fix Trump,” he said. “Why? It’s very awkward. Trump had a previous soft default issue with Wall Street, so there was a conflict between them. But I won’t go into details. I may not have enough time. So, during the U.S.-China trade war, they [Wall Street] tried to help. And I know that — my friends on the U.S. side told me that they tried to help, but they couldn’t do much.”
Double wow.
As if Carlson’s report wasn’t enough, Grenell’s successor at DNI, John Ratcliffe, has also been sounding the warning this week on China.
He says that while Beijing can’t match Washington yet in terms of superpower status, we can’t afford to be complacent in the coming years or they will.
“China knows that, at this point, the United States is still the world’s superpower. They know they’re catching us in all those respects. They’re banking on the fact that we’re not going to do anything until they’re superior in all those respects,” Ratcliffe said.
“We don’t ever want to be in a position where we’re looking up at China. And all of the plans that they have, all of the initiatives made in China, the digital Silk Road, Belt and Road Initiative — those are all thin veneers and facades for which China is going around the world and essentially gaining the influence, power to become the world superpower and supplant the United States in that role.”

In other words, China is doing what China has always done: Playing the long game, while most American political leaders appear to live in a ‘see what I’ve done for you lately’ world.
