President Trump is back in the White House and it's time to unleash the full power of our nation to stop China from getting the upper hand in the 21st century. New tariffs, trade restrictions, and forcing manufacturing back to America will give us the upper hand against China. But we know that half the battle is maintaining absolute dominance in the tech space, and unfortunately, Big Tech, in search of profits, is finding China and therefore Chinese Communist Party too large of a client base to resist.
The thing is, if you want to play ball in China, you have to play by their rules. Heavily investing in China opens up access to a cheap coding workforce to cut corners on development costs. It also allows these companies to sell to the world's largest economy, therefore allowing them to focus on building their market share. In return, China gets unprecedented access to programs used across the U.S. Government and the largest corporations in the world.
Make no mistake, patriots - this is part of China's plan for global domination. The Chinese Communist Party knows they can't beat America in a fair fight, so they're infiltrating us through technology. They've already stolen our manufacturing jobs and bought our farmland. Now they're going after something even more crucial - control of our government's tech infrastructure.
Here's what every American needs to understand: Major tech companies employ thousands of people in Communist China who work directly on software that runs our government agencies. These aren't just low-level coders - they're engineers with access to core systems that handle sensitive communications for our military, our diplomats, and our intelligence services. That’s already a very concerning security risk. Even worse, under Chinese law, Microsoft must hand over whatever the Communist Party demands - source code, security keys, everything.
The consequences? Just look at what happened last summer when Chinese state hackers broke into this Commerce Secretary's emails. Or last year, when Russian hackers did the same thing. Federal investigations revealed the ugly truth - our systems are vulnerable to our adversaries because companies have prioritized their Chinese business interests over American security. Through their relationship with Big Tech, China only needs to break into one system to compromise America's security.
The Chinese Communist Party's strategy is brilliant in its simplicity: Why spend billions trying to hack American systems when you can just make a law that foreign companies need to give you their code? Tech giants claim they have no choice if they want to do business in China. That's exactly the point - no American company handling sensitive government data should be doing business with Communist China in the first place!
Even worse, these companies lock American agencies into their compromised systems. Try to switch to a secure provider? You'll pay many times more to use software you've already bought. Want security that can better withstand attack from China? That requires expensive upgrades tied together with services you may not even want. This isn't just anti-competitive - it's anti-American. They're forcing our government to stay on vulnerable systems while crushing American companies that could provide more secure alternatives.
The globalist elites running these tech giants don't care about American security - they only care about profit. That's why governments around the world, from the UK, to the EU, to South Africa, are investigating their practices. They see what we see - companies that have chosen profits over patriotism.
President Trump understands this threat, and he'll need our support to end this madness. We must cut off government contracts with companies that share American technology with the CCP. We must break the monopolistic grip on our digital infrastructure. Most importantly, we must recognize that letting China access our government systems through any American company is a grave mistake that irreparably harms our nation..
The Chinese Communist Party plays the long game. While we worry that the CCP can access TikTok dance videos, they're accessing our government's most sensitive communications through legal backdoors. It's time to slam those doors shut and put America First in our digital security.
