Editor, Strategic Fortunes | Banyan Nation, Welcome to part two of “The Cold War Series.”
Yesterday, I touched on two main points: - Why China’s spy balloons are much more than the average national security threat.
- How the multibillion-dollar battle for the world’s most valuable resource has triggered the early stages of a new Cold War between the U.S. and China — or worse.
Today, I want to pick up where we left off on my last point and explain why gaining access to tech’s biggest secret weapon could wield global control.
Let me remind you, the FBI previously rejected China’s attempt to gift us their version of a Trojan horse, in the form of a $100 million 70-foot pagoda in Washington D.C. — for what the CIA called a: “Perfect spying spot.”
Washington has tried to ignore it and appease China for over 20 years. They’ve allowed blatant red flags in return for cheap labor and great business partnerships.
And it’s been a great partnership. It really has. They’ve gotten a ton of business, and we’ve gotten a lot of cheap goods.
But over the last few years, the relationship has gone cold.
Why?
Because their president, Xi Jinping, wants world domination. He publicly vowed world dominance by 2049, when the People’s Republic of China celebrates its 100th birthday.
He wants you, me and every person watching to be under China’s thumb.
Which explains why they’re floating spy balloons over our country.
I know the spy balloon fiasco doesn’t seem like a real threat. The very thought of the word “balloon” takes our minds to a happy place. A place of special occasions, like your child’s first birthday … or their college graduation.
But these aren’t your average Party City helium balloons.
Americans need to understand, these balloons flew directly over the Malmstrom Air Force headquarters — a nuclear warhead facility dubbed the “doomsday base.”
That was no accident. Nor was it a celebratory gesture. China’s 5G Towers Pose Nuclear Threat And it’s no coincidence that there is a giant 5G network tower right next to that air force base built by none other than the Chinese company Huawei.
Which is why the White House labeled these towers a “national security threat,” and Washington banned any more Huawei equipment in the U.S. … causing the company to crumble.
At this very moment, we’re ripping down Huawei’s 5G towers and replacing them with ones made right here in the U.S.
And the farmland…
China has been acquiring land across America at a rapid pace. In the last year alone, they’ve spent $6.1 billion on U.S. property and acquired 352,000 acres. That’s half the size of Rhode Island — 25X the amount they owned just over 10 years ago.
So, as you could imagine, it’s a lot of land.
But it’s less about the amount and more about the location of this land, which is strategically positioned near our top military bases.
For example, they attempted to buy land in Del Rio, Texas, to put up a green energy plant. Sounds nice enough. But the land is just a few miles from the Laughlin Air Force.
And the company they chose to build the energy plant is owned by a former member of the Chinese military who has direct ties to China’s ruling communist party.
That got shut down. But they did manage to buy farmland just 20 minutes from North Dakota’s Grand Forks Air Force Base.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has sounded the alarm stating:
“We should be seriously concerned about Chinese investment in locations close to sensitive sites, such as military bases around the country.”
They used a lot of this land to put up those 5G Huawei cell towers.
Here’s the thing, an intensive FBI investigation concluded that Huawei’s equipment could disrupt U.S. nuclear arsenal communications … potentially shutting down our ability to fight back in a nuclear war.
It’s extremely concerning.
Another point of concern is in academia.
Look at programs such as Thousand Talents. This program is designed to convince America’s most gifted scientists, engineers and innovators to move to China.
The Senate actually confirmed that China has over 200 talent recruitment agencies in America to attract our “best and brightest.”
President Xi calls it the “Rancai War” and has openly stated he wants to “gather all the brightest minds under heaven to serve China.”
So far, they’ve attracted 2,880 brilliant minds.
Who knows if one of those minds is the next Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. | | | The Cold War Is Happening Right Under Your Nose Just as worrisome are technologies such as TikTok.
The technology behind that app is more than funny audios, fluffy dance challenges and cooking recipes.
The FBI found that China could use TikTok to spy on Americans, including government workers. TikTok even admitted that employees already used its app to spy on reporters.
I say that to say we’re no longer waiting for a threat. As you can see, verbal and physical threats have already been made right here on American soil.
A Cold War with China is no longer some distant idea in the future. It’s not a maybe or possibly.
It’s here. And it’s happening right here, right now.
But as worrisome as all these threats are, none of them come close to China’s ability to obtain the technology inside this building…  It’s being called “the new oil” of the global economy.
And I think that’s a great description. Because in the 20th century, everything ran on oil. The countries that controlled the oil supply made trillions of dollars.
But now, in the 21st century, this technology is the new oil.
Everything needs this technology … even the oil industry.
As I mentioned yesterday, this technology is more important than 5G, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things combined.
I can’t stress it enough…
Without control of the technology in this building, everything from our electrical grid to our internet, hospitals — even our military shuts down. Technology That Holds the Key to the Global Economy The technology I’m talking about … microchips.
In this presentation, I mentioned how these tiny little chips are the building blocks of technology. (You can read a transcript about that here.)
The very brains inside every technology around us.
From our cars to planes to tractors.  | From satellites in space to drones in our skies to ships out at sea.
We need them for our phones, our computers and our TVs.
Everything runs on chips.
Hospitals, the stock market —you name it.
The world runs on microchips, which is why they are called “the new oil” of the 21st century.
At its peak, the world consumed roughly 86 million barrels of oil a day. Everything ran on oil.
But now, everything runs on microchips. We already need … get this … we already need to make … 3.1 billion microchips per day to sustain our global economy.
That comes out to 36,000 per second.
So you can just imagine these factories just pumping out all these billions of billions of microchips every day.
And here’s the scary thing…
This building I’ve been sharing … is NOT inside the United States. It’s located on the tiny island of Taiwan, which sits 100 miles off the coast of China.
Ninety-two percent of all advanced microchips are made there.
So tomorrow, in the final installment of this three-part series, I’ll be back to discuss: - What company is behind the world’s most-targeted manufacturing building.
- What we need to do to get the leg up on what Forbes is calling the “Chip War,” or as Foreign Affairs puts it: “The New Cold War.”
- And how you can profit as all this unfolds.
Until then, I urge you to listen to what I have to say here for details on how to profit from it to see gains of 1,000% to even 5,000% within five years.
Go here now.
And be on the lookout for part three tomorrow. Because, trust me, you’ll absolutely want to hear what more I have to say on this topic.
Regards,
Ian King
