You know you’ve made it when the Chinese government is citing your work to make the case that America is much more dangerous than China.
So huge congrats to Robert Reich, whose assertion that the greatest threat to the U.S. is not China, but rather homegrown proto-fascism, is good enough to be promoted by the ChiCom Information Department’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Director General:

A wise professor tells the real story.

Let’s all give Robert Reich a huge round of applause, everyone! Well done!
Robert Reich must be so proud to be used as CCP propaganda. Yikes. https://t.co/PbcFlX0s3K

It’s an honor and a privilege, we’re sure. Definitely a privilege, because a Chinese professor and media commentator wouldn’t be able to criticize his own government that way without suffering some serious repercussions.
Honest question: Could a university professor in China write something similar about the Chinese people in a Chinese newspaper, to wit: “China’s greatest danger isn’t the U.S. It’s much closer to home”?

Imagine the consequences of a Chinese professor saying that about China.

Americans say all kinds of things. But we don’t get jailed or disappeared over it. Can’t say the same thing about Xi’s China now can we.

Hope it was worth it, Robert.
Never a shortage of useful idiots for America’s enemies over on the left side of aisle.
