Left-wing billionaire George Soros recently said: “There is a really remarkable, rapid shift of power and influence from the United States to China. China has now got to accept responsibility for world order and the interests of other people as well.” Touting China as leader of some new world order got American hackles up — except among the Big Green foundations and advocacy groups that followed Soros to China and succeeded where he failed. Nobody much remembers, but Soros created his Fund for the Reform and Opening of China back in 1986, when he was busy subverting communist rather than capitalist countries. It was approved by then Premier Zhao Ziyang and housed in a Beijing think tank
But the 1989 Tiananmen demonstrations and military crackdown led to Zhao’s ouster. Soros’ fund was demonized as a CIA front, his Chinese representative arrested, and Soros branded a nefarious CIA agent.
