Insane, one question for your confirmation bias: how does the Townhall article work "Democrats" into its title? That's a partisan giveaway right there. If you actually watch the Dongsheng video, he says nothing about any political party, though he does mention Trump and Biden. He talks instead about government elites and Wall Street influence generally, saying that power elites in the political and financial circles tend to have China's back. Last I checked, Wall Street influenced both parties pretty strongly, though they did not have the cozy relationship they would have liked with Trump. FWIW, Trump's hard stance on China was sole thing he did that I liked. Still, Trump appeased the Street plenty, with bailouts and COVID deceptions to keep the market high. Hey, if you want to go anti-big money elitist, wtf do you support Trump and not, say, Bernie or Warren or AOC?
