Jon Coupal: Illegal immigration is a taxpayer issue
From microchips to media coverage, the history of Sino-American relations and the Uighurs to facing unpleasant facts, my new book “The Fake China Threat and Its Very Real Danger” represents the opinions of those with no sympathies to Beijing but who recognize its strategic situation, our interdependence, and the dangers of provoking an unnecessary conflict with China in its own backyard.
To be sure, the fake China threat narrative has its beneficiaries: the defense contractors, lobbyists, and members of Congress they fund, as well as those departments whose budgets and purview will expand. Not among the beneficiaries, however, are the American people: and they should just say NO! to the fake China threat.
Author of “The Fake China Threat and Its Very Real Danger,” Joseph Solis-Mullen is a political scientist and economist at the Libertarian Institute. A graduate of Spring Arbor University and the University of Illinois, his work can be found at the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, Libertarian Institute, Journal of Libertarian Studies, Journal of the American Revolution and Antiwar.com.
