Pacifica
One thing to consider is that we often talk about China as if it is one nation, one culture, and one people. We speak of the Chinese Menace as an enemy of freedom, but that is not truly accurate. The people or even the nations are not synonymous with the governments that lead or represent them. I have many contacts within China, Free China, and Free Hong Kong, and they are more alike to each other than different. It is The Party that runs the government of Mainland China that is the enemy of the Western Alliance. It is The Party that conquered most of Southeastern Asia back when they still called themselves Communists. It is The Party that ranks the peoples’ social credit to determine if they are allowed to travel, communicate, or even live. It is The Party that forced Free China, Free Japan, Free Tibet, and all the other Free Peoples of various conquered nations to flee their homes and seek freedom in Pacifica or California. We have never been at war with the Chinese people. And that is something we have often allowed ourselves to forget.
