Communist China Is ‘Using Climate to Subvert the United States:’ Analyst

China has gotten the United States ‘hooked on green technology,’ which Beijing dominates.

The Chinese communist regime has laid out the strategy to take over the United States as the world’s dominant power by 2049. Meanwhile, the United States is reducing its national security by voluntarily making itself more dependent on the “green energy” that China dominates, analysts say.

“China is using climate to subvert the United States,” Steve Malloy, a senior legal fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, said in a recent interview on Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders.”

“China has gotten the United States and Western Europe, and really all the developed countries, hooked on green technology,” Mr. Malloy said. At the heart of this alternative energy are technologies including wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, which are reliant on certain critical raw materials, such as graphite and rare earth elements. For many of these materials, Chinaโ€”the United States’ top adversaryโ€”is the world’s major supplier and processor.

“I think their strategy is to get the Western world dependent on China for technology,” Mr. Malloy said. “It’s a fighting without fighting.”

Chinese Monopoly

Mr. Malloy cited an example of rare earths, a group of 17 elements that China has a near global monopoly on.

“And all these rare earths go into wind technology and solar technology, EVs, as well as our cell phones and computers,” Mr. Malloy said. “The whole world really depends on China for this.”

Minerals that fall under this label actually arenโ€™t that rare. In fact, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) described rare earths as “relatively abundant.”

“It’s just that they’re present in [the] soil at very low concentrations. So you have to strip mine do this,” Mr. Malloy explained.

A reason that the West stopped mining rare earths, according to Mr. Malloy, is the environmental pressure, as such practices are notoriously polluting. “But you can strip mine in China. They have no environmental regulations,” he said. “So China has volunteered to do this.”
