The Chinese Communist Party is humanity’s enemy

This week, the Republican convention gave a platform to many heroes. Among them was one of freedom’s most impressive champions, a blind Chinese dissident who found safety and liberty in America after he escaped torture and imprisonment at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.

In brief remarks subsequently tweeted by President Trump, Chen Guangcheng warned: “The CCP is an enemy of humanity. It is terrorizing its own people, and it is threatening the wellbeing of the world….The U.S. must use its values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law to gather a coalition of other democracies to stop the CCP’s aggression.”

This reality must inform our pending national decision. Our next Commander-in-Chief will face no more important national security, economic and public health threat than that posed by the CCP. We must know now if they will act accordingly.

This is Frank Gaffney.
