CIA Director William J. Burns published an article demonizing China as the "bigge[st] long-term threat". He said the Ukraine war helps the US, and warned Taiwan could be next.
Makes anyone wonder exactly in whose interests Burns is working as up to now he certainly hasn't been working in the interests of the people of the U.S. and Europe who are being made to pay for endless wars, to say nothing of the tragedy in cost of lives lost, injuries sustained and the displacement of peoples.
China threatens US hegemony not by militarily conquering the world but by outdoing the US in every peaceful enterprise. The CIA can't stand for that and will use every dirty trick in its bloody arsenal.
I'm sure this guy Burns is on the payroll of the military/industrial complex. That's why he put out this harmful and totally unnecessary propaganda out. China is no threat to the US. We are China's largest customer. Would you threaten or intimidate your biggest customer? Off course not !!! China hasn't fought a war in over 50 years we have fought wars almost the entire time in Bosnia, Irak, Afghanistan and now a Proxi war in Ukraine. Where did that get us? Our infrastructure sucks and is rapidly becoming sub-standard, our industrial base is declining, our health care is inefficient while we pay twice as much as all other industrialised countries, the list goes on and on. We should stop demonizing China and work with them not against them. You know the old saying: If you can't beat them, join them. Did you know that all recent war games in the Pentagon have shown that there is no way we could beat China in a military conflict.
I believe that the honorable director Burns makes all these statements in the foolish belief that the majority of the peoples of the world will receive all this with ovations and applause, that there is a country that believes itself to be above all countries, exactly as the rotten-toothed British Empire did ! No, the world doesn't need a hegemon who has set himself the motto "Any country that doesn't fall in line, we will arrest and break its hand!" by Obama
The U.S. is jealous of China's achievements, it's just that simple. China is the world's largest manufacturing country in the world. The only "threat" that China poses is to the ruling elites and corporations in the U.S. It does not threaten U.S. citizens.
Burn says, "We’re hiring and training more Mandarin speakers while stepping up efforts across the world to compete with China, from Latin America to Africa to the Indo-Pacific."
More Mandarin speakers to tramslate the twiisted State Department English are going to help.
Competing with China, rather than cooperation is the solution. Burns should learn diplomacy before he has his depatment learn Mandarin and competes.

“Nyet means Nyet!” William Burns - when he was our Ambassador to Russia. It was the title of his report on whether we should expand NATO.
My, how things change when you sell your soul for a few pieces of silver.
Good grief
The actual title to this article should be “Why The CIA Should Be Abolished And Langley Bulldozed Into Dust.”
The US always values its financial interests over the lives of people in other countries!

by virtue of him supporting the debacle that is Ukraine's eventual loss, you know what Burns is up to
