Can Democrats Be Trusted to Defend America If War Breaks Out With China?

As the trade war with China intensifies under the renewed leadership of President Donald Trump, a critical question is emerging at the forefront of national discussion: If a hot war were to erupt with the Chinese Communist Party, can the Democratic Party be trusted to fight for the United States? Or have years of appeasement, infiltration, and ideological compromise positioned many of its top leaders as liabilities—or worse?

The concern isn’t abstract. It’s grounded in recent history and well-documented cases. Take Congressman Eric Swalwell, for instance—a sitting member of the House Intelligence Committee who was exposed for having a relationship with a known Chinese spy named Fang Fang. Despite the grave implications, Swalwell faced no meaningful consequences. He retained his seat, his security clearance, and his standing in the party. The Democratic establishment looked the other way.

This pattern repeats itself elsewhere. In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration came under fire after reportedly employing a staffer with direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party. What once would have triggered urgent national security investigations now barely registers as a political inconvenience. The implications are quietly brushed aside, and no accountability follows.

Then there’s California Governor Gavin Newsom—arguably the most visible example of strategic capitulation to China within the Democratic ranks. Under Newsom’s leadership, California has descended into chaos. Crime, drugs, and homelessness have overwhelmed major cities. Businesses have fled. Public services have crumbled. Yet when Chinese dictator Xi Jinping arrived in San Francisco, the city was suddenly transformed. Streets that had been neglected for years were cleaned overnight—not for American citizens, but for a communist leader hostile to the United States.

The symbolism could not have been clearer.

Now, in the midst of an escalating economic and geopolitical confrontation with Beijing, Newsom isn’t aligning with American interests—he’s growing closer to the CCP. His recent diplomatic trips to China, his public praise for their policies, and his break with the administration’s hardline stance raise serious concerns about where his loyalties lie. The timing isn’t just suspicious—it’s dangerous.

This behavior demands scrutiny. It’s time the FBI and DOJ stop ignoring these patterns and begin investigating Newsom’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party. At what point does repeated engagement with a hostile foreign regime shift from poor judgment to possible collusion? How many lines have to be crossed before action is taken?

Unfortunately, Newsom is not an outlier. He’s part of a broader trend within the Democratic Party—a party that, for years, has protected and empowered individuals linked to anti-American and extremist groups. From quiet associations with the Muslim Brotherhood to public defenses of Hamas sympathizers, the Democratic leadership has increasingly embraced actors who openly oppose American values and security interests.

Nowhere is this more evident than in their policy toward Iran. Under Democratic administrations, sanctions were lifted, billions in cash were funneled into Tehran, and the regime’s alliance with China and Russia grew stronger. This “Axis of Resistance” isn’t theoretical—it’s real, it’s coordinated, and it directly threatens American security.

So again, we ask: If war breaks out with China, who will Democrats stand with?

This is no longer about partisan bickering or traditional foreign policy debates. It’s about national loyalty. It’s about who will defend the republic when global conflict tests our unity and resolve. And it’s about whether some of our own leaders are already compromised—willingly or not—by the very adversaries we may soon be forced to confront.

In an age where warfare isn’t only fought with bullets but with influence, money, data, and subversion, the greatest threat may not be in Beijing. It may be in our own capitols, hidden behind a polished smile and wrapped in the flag.

This isn’t paranoia—it’s pattern recognition.

And it’s time we take a hard, unflinching look at who is truly prepared to defend this country—and who may already be serving another master.
