It shouldn’t have taken a global pandemic for us to admit it, but the coronavirus has unequivocally proven that the great Western experiment to liberalize China through trade alone has failed. The Chinese Communist Party’s lies, enabling the worldwide spread of the virus and catastrophic destruction of global supply chains, make clear that China is the same thieving, thuggish dictatorship it was half a century ago.

The CCP must pay — preferably in the form of cash and debt cancellation. But let’s not forget those American institutions that legitimized and enabled the regime in the first place. One only needs to turn to the nation’s oldest college to find our first traitor: Harvard University.
