Study Notes

Dr. Peter Navarro Discusses China, Maga, and His Background

Dr. Peter Navarro is a former senior White House official who served in the Trump administration as assistant to the president, director of trade and manufacturing policy, and the National Defense Production Act policy coordinator.
He is a strong advocate for reducing the US trade deficit and has been critical of Germany and China, accusing both nations of currency manipulation.
Navarro supports increasing the size of the American manufacturing sector and setting high tariffs.
He went to Tufts University on an academic scholarship and earned a PhD in economics from Harvard University.
Navarro has run for office multiple times and lived in San Diego.
He was a Democrat while going to Harvard, then registered as a Republican in 1989, became an independent in 1991, rejoined the Democratic party in 1994, and supported Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign and Barack Obama's environmental policies.
Maga (Make America Great Again) to Navarro is a triangle of populism consisting of a strong American manufacturing base and resilient supply chains, secure borders, and an end to endless wars.
He believes that China is the greatest existential threat that the US faces and that the threat is worse than what is publicly known.
China's strategic plan, Made in China 2025, aims to take over key strategic tech sectors such as AI and blockchain technology.
Blockchain technology is the technology used to encrypt things like Bitcoin and the entire financial system of the US. If China has the key to unlock that blockchain technology, they could bring down the entire financial system of the US.
Xi Jinping could use a run on Taiwan as a wag the dog tactic if he gets into domestic trouble.
Navarro supports decoupling the US economy from China.Peter Navarro discusses China's unrestricted warfare and the need for decoupling
China's unrestricted warfare involves knocking out satellites, using viruses to take out electric power grids, and using balloons for information gathering.
China has been able to lift 250 million peasants into sweatshops by running big trade surpluses with the US.
China has been sucking on the US's "Double D's" (cash cow) but has been flattened somewhat due to tariffs under Trump's administration.
Tariffs should not be used as a bargaining chip, but rather to level the playing field for the American worker.
The function of tariffs is to offset unfair trade advantages, such as export subsidies and intellectual property theft.
There is no modus vivendi with communist China as they want to kill the US and inundate its universities with Chinese Communist Party members to steal intellectual property.
The US needs to decouple from China as there is no reason to trade with them.
China poses a serious threat to America and should be a top consideration in the upcoming election.
Democrats are likely to focus on abortion as their main issue in the election.
President Trump needs to run on his Mega (Make America Great Again) agenda, which includes ending endless wars, addressing the invasion on the southern border, and strengthening manufacturing.
China engages in debt trap diplomacy, where they shower countries with money to get infrastructure in return and then foreclose on strategic assets.
The reciprocal trade act, which lowers tariffs to match other countries and raises them if other countries have higher tariffs, would be effective in leveling the playing field for the American worker.Peter Navarro on Political System, Tariffs, and COVID-19
Peter Navarro believes that the American political system is broken and not focused on China, which he considers the biggest threat to the country.
Navarro criticizes the FBI for putting him in leg irons and raiding Mar-A-Lago, while Hunter Biden and those involved in the Russia hoax go free.
He believes that the political system is partisan and weaponized, and that the Democrats will use the same strategy in 2020 to stuff the ballot box with absentee ballots.
Navarro thinks that financial sanctions are more painful for Iran than tariffs, but warns that the Saudis' agreement to trade with China in Yuan provides an opening for Iran in the Middle East.
He believes that Russia, China, Iran, Saudi, and Brazil have been unified by the tariffs imposed by the US, which have made them stronger and more dangerous.
Navarro thinks that Iran is more dangerous than Russia because it wants to kill the United States, and controls Iraq, which was destabilized by the US.
He fears that China will use unrestricted warfare tactics, such as blockchain technology and viruses, to disrupt the US financial system and electric grid.
Navarro accuses Dr. Fauci of lying to the American people about the origin of COVID-19 and covering up the gain-of-function research that he funded in the Wuhan lab.
He thinks that Fauci's lies and cover-up prevented the US from getting the genome sequence of COVID-19 early on, which would have allowed it to design an effective vaccine.
Navarro did not take the COVID-19 vaccine because he had the opportunity to get it on his way out and did not want to jump the line, and because he is a hydroxychloroquine guy.
He believes that Fauci is a divisive figure who has created a lot of hate and anger towards him, similar to the way President Trump has been hated and criticized by the left since he came down the escalator.
Navarro thinks that the American people have lost trust in their institutions, and that the only way to restore it is to hold those responsible for the lies and cover-ups accountable.Peter Navarro discusses Trump's presidency, campaign, and the need to investigate Fauci
