Lee Smith: Biden administration, corporate establishment has 'sold America off for parts' to China

Author and journalist Lee Smith commented on how the American corporate elite and political establishment have essentially “sold” the country, by way of the working class, to China; speaking Friday on Fox Nation's “Tucker Carlson Today.”

"If we look at what the Biden administration now represents, the Biden administration is really at the head of a very large American establishment," he said. "It's not just the corporate and the political establishment, but it also includes the academy, all these universities that are taking money from the Chinese and misreporting the amount of money that they're taking from the Chinese to basically sell their research off the books." "If you look at the cultural establishment, we talk about the NBA, we talk about Hollywood, but it's also there's the art world as well," Smith added. "It's just an enormous streak cutting across the middle of America. This is what I call the China class." Host Tucker Carlson agreed, adding that the dynamic between the U.S. and China now appears much like the World War I-era relationship between the U.S. and U.K., when America was, in his words, "an ascendant empire feeding on the carcass of a dying empire" with Britain's richest families enjoining themselves with America rather than their own motherland.
