    The document discusses how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging a cyber campaign against the United States through the social media platform TikTok. It argues that TikTok collects vast amounts of personal data on its American users, which the CCP then uses to gain insights into Americans and further its goal of replacing the US as the global superpower. The author claims the Biden administration has not done enough to address this national security threat and that Americans should delete TikTok to prevent empowering the authoritarian CCP regime.

    5/8/23, 8:52 AM Digital Fentanyl: The CCP’s Cyber Campaign to Destroy America

    The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has always played the long game. It’s
    pivotal to their strength. They have a disciplined ability to think
    generationally rather than focus on the current political climate of the now.
    The CCP has zero respect for the rule of law, nor do they abide by any code of
    ethics. When you have the ability to rule without law, you become the world’s
    adversary.

    The CCP has poured their fentanyl onto our streets via their partners south of
    our border: the Mexican drug cartels. This has led to the untimely deaths of
    over 100,000 Americans last year alone due to fentanyl overdoses. Now, China
    has fashioned this death drug into the form of common candy to make it more
    appealing to our youth. This is the death train being operated by the CCP. It’s
    the one you can see and feel every day.

    Tragically, for America, the CCP also have their silent killer in the form of
    digital fentanyl, and it’s called TikTok. This social media platform is a facet of
    CCP warfare that remains invisible to most.

    The CCP has launched an information war on America that isn’t in the form of
    news. However, the means by which they’re doing so is now only being
    accurately reported in the mainstream media. After years of accepting CCP
    disinformation, our media is finally waking up to the cold hard fact of data
    theft. The CCP pirates are seizing troves of information daily through TikTok.

    The nearly 150 million Americans that sign into the platform daily, nearly half
    our population, would do well to take a moment to give their thumb a rest and
    their eyes something to read. Unless, of course, they want the CCP to win.

    Unfortunately, through the Biden administration’s disastrous foreign policy,


    we aren’t set up to win the information war head-on, let alone take on any
    aspect of it. Download TikTok onto your phone, and the CCP has a four-lane
    highway into your everyday life for free. Not only are we letting them, but by
    intentionally giving the CCP a massive money bin of data for free, Xi is
    laughing all the way from mainland China. How can we let this be in 2023
    America?

    What are they stealing? Your personal information, information on your


    family, your habits, hobbies, and your internet footprint for starters. They
    then collate this data and stack it for use against Americans based on their
    interests and vulnerabilities. How else do you think Chinese spies infiltrate
    American lives? It’s not Google.

    For those wondering, “but Tik Tok is an American company,” that’s a false
    narrative, and it was entirely defeated when the CEO of ByteDance, the
    Chinese parent company of TikTok, testified before Congress recently.
    Immediately thereafter, you had Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)
    demanding public support for TikTok.

    President Donald Trump understood the CCP’s intention better than anyone:
    from their Belt and Road Initiative, the manipulation of their currency, and
    their desire to supplant America on the global stage. Trump responded
    resoundingly, taking steps to ban TikTok, implementing tariffs and trade
    sanctions, and expelling Chinese diplomats from the United States.

    Biden and his administration have not only reversed every single one of these
    measures, but have also retracted from taking any position against Xi and the
    CCP. By doing so, we have seen the rise of the petro-yuan to replace the petro-
    dollar. We have seen Xi broker deals between Saudi Arabia and Iran, inching
    the world’s largest state sponsor of terror closer to a weapon’s grade nuclear
    program.

    We have seen the gall of the CCP come full circle in Xi’s declaration that he will
    be the world’s peacemaker. A man who leads a party that’s responsible for
    three modern-day genocides in China, resulting in concentration camps,
    forced breeding, and torture, is now the self-anointed face of global diplomacy.
    And every time you log into TikTok, you’re empowering his maniacal regime
    and the degradation of America. That may be hard for you to believe, but you
    can follow the intel, or you can follow AOC.

    5/8/23, 8:52 AM Digital Fentanyl: The CCP’s Cyber Campaign to Destroy America

    The CCP has one mission: replace the United States of America as the world
    leader. The greatest advantage in warfare is information. The CCP siphons and
    cycles our data that they steal from TikTok to achieve this end. They do so at
    any cost because they have no cost that’s too great. Therein lies our solution.
    The overwhelming majority of nations around the world demand a rule of law
    that respects humanity, not one that binds it in concentration camps.

    Tariffs, sanctions, and stopping currency manipulation is a start. We should be


    shutting down access to the international banking system, ending trade tech
    relations, and removing CCP spies on American soil. We must stop giving the
    CCP billions of dollars in American products, technology, and goods only to
    have them use it against the American people to wage their decades-long
    mission to replace America.

    This administration is rewarding the CCP’s tyrannical behavior, but each time
    you sign into TikTok, you are doing the same. Follow the intel and delete
    TikTok.
