“You may not like Donald Trump,” argues Dr34mLucid in his latest video on YouTube and Facebook, “but he is the most vocal and has taken the most action in containing China. That is a fact.”
Dr34mLucid is Christopher Raymond Hall, who claims to be “made in Britain, schooled in the U.S., assembled in Taiwan, hardened by China, currently broadcasting from London.” His video, “Trump or China, unite or fall,” created with Dr. Lai from the Sci-tadel channel, is full of worries … about “attitudes to China in the West.”
The two YouTubers are troubled that “the West has done its best to ignore” the library of crimes against humanity committed by the Chinese Communist Party. Recognizing that “China has very real ambitions to become THE world superpower,” they ask, “What kind of world would that look like?”
“China invading Taiwan is a very real risk,” insists Dr34mLucid. “The weaker the West becomes the higher the chance of Xi Jinping making a move on Taiwan.… with the riots in the US … now is an excellent time for Xi to invade.”
“If you think Hong Kong looks bad,” he offers, “wait until they get to Taiwan.”
“We shouldn’t be waiting until they get to Taiwan,” replies Dr. Lai.
Dr34mLucid and Dr. Lai applaud President Trump for standing up to China and for Taiwan. But they fret about his unpopularity.
“I doubt many people would support Trump if he decided to defend Taiwan,” notes Dr34mLucid. “I doubt they would miss the chance to call him interfering or an imperialist.”
Opposition to totalitarian China and support for free and democratic Taiwan should unite the free world.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.
Note: In the video, Dr. Lai recounts that President Trump called Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen after his 2016 victory. It was actually Pres. Tsai who phoned to congratulate Mr. Trump.

Dr34mLucid is probably more right than he realizes. The free world won’t defend a democracy in the Middle East because it might interfere with their business deals with Iran. Taiwan may be in jeopardy and the US will stand with Taiwan against most of its ‘allies’. Western Europeans hate Trump (and the US) more than they care about their own freedom.
