Nominee For CIA Director Says China ‘Poses Our Biggest Geopolitical Test’ | NBC News NOW
WWIII is over one year old and we are losing badly.
Wow…unanimously confirmed…Bravo to the senators and also to Biden. This was a home run!!
Allied with China benefit all countries. Chinese are civilized people, love peace in our blood, never base our happiness on killing/destruction!
Chinese has long long civilization history. Chinese Nation created many advanced stuff during our history.
Please read some sample history here. China has long civilization history (from unearthed tombs/sites). All 56 ethnic groups contributed to our glorious civilization history.
Ever since Chinese freed themselves from a second-class citizenhood and threw the alien Manchus out of Forbidden City in the early last century and started to communicate with the world, they have maintained they are the inheritors of a 5,000-year-old unbroken cultural tradition.

The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.
The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE,[1] were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an, People's Republic of China, Shaanxi province. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses.

China DEAT
It's great that politicians from the left and right recognize that China is the biggest threat.
LOL This liar knows feeble old Joe, “Fang Fang†Swalwell, the NBA, corporations with business in China are all compromised by the CCP
Lot of people on this thread don't know what nuance means. Refreshing to hear someone speaking truth pertaining to China. America has problems, China has huge ones.
I hope you hold China for hacking our systems company’s for year. China is not to be trusted. They tempted Genghis Khan and paid the price. Now they are tempted the world. What comes around goes around. They will never learn.
US is a declining power. Outcompeting China is mission impossible for the weakening US. US cannot compete even in technologies with China. Look at the US and China nation's IQ level. China is ahead. China has history of over 5 000 years, and being a power for most of the time, while US is just a bully teenager who will never become a true man. China is the new global power. China will have the most powerful ever military force – 1.5 billion people! China is building its military with speed that the US cannot even dream about, and canont afford – lack of resources, lack of intelligence. US time is over. US will face the destiny of the Soviet Union – COLLAPSE.

Investing in cryptocurrency is one of the best chance of making money
super supportive news
THIS IS ALL BIDENS FAULT!!!!!
Cooperated USA China should be win-win!
After losing 500 thousand Americans to CCP's bioweapon accident, CIA did not learn. It is not the analytical capability related to intelligence that lacked. It is timely, impactful and convincing intelligence that lacked. The data was there related to SARS-CoV-2 since October/November 2019, and the outbreak was predicted at the time. Having a d*m*f**k as President after Bush the d*m*fu**k did not help, and not being able to deliver timely and impactful message to the President did not help as well. Getting over the Trump's own IQ was hard enough but not being able to transform intelligence into action resulted in 500 thousand COVID19 related American deaths and more to come. In another year, there will be close to a million total American deaths related to COVID19 spanning 2 years due to the virus mutating and vaccines having to catch up. 2021 flu season is 6 months away. We need to use our time wisely and prepare for another 500 thousand more American deaths due to the November 2019 intelligence mistake.
I wonder if William Burns was also trained in "lying, cheating, and stealing", like Mike Pompeo was. I wonder also if he will continue the CIA "education" program for "lying, cheating, and stealing".
All talk no action
Biden still appease this evil regime
china wants to be number one Cartel and thanks for usa opened their doors.
People who are the not stupid know that China always the best country, Rising above own score. No other nation can be matched. You must respect and obey the most glorious nation China. I am so proud to be a Chinese. We Chinese are the smartest, strongest and greatest race.
America's biggest threat are our very own homegrown terrorists, Trumplicans.
Strange ya never this blaming part of Chinese culture or their politics..
Speaker of world biggest murder organization
This guy is too close to CCP
"President Donald Trump spent a decade unsuccessfully pursuing projects in China, operating an office there during his first run for president and forging a partnership with a major government-controlled company…"
The left can not and will not deal with china. Far to weak and perverted. Left only cares about sexuality and perversion. Also still in fear of trump.
KIS MY WEAPON
China is your first business partner JAJAJA
we lie, we steal, we cheat!
Cooperating with China is the way to a cleaner future. NOT COMPITITION!
This ad was sponsored by the wall street thieves!
