A group of Washington policy advisers and former U.S. government officials including Steve Bannon have revived a cold war-era advocacy organization to take aim at China, which it called “an aggressive totalitarian foe."The Committee on the Present Danger: China, or CPDC, will be launched to facilitate “public education and advocacy against the full array of conventional and non-conventional dangers” posed by the ruling Chinese Communist Party, the group said in an announcement on Monday.
The Committee on the Present Danger was first established in the early 1950s as a bulwark against the influence of communism in the U.S. The group disbanded after some leading members were drafted into the administration of Dwight Eisenhower, but in 1976 was reformed by U.S. foreign policy hawks to counter the Soviet Union during the cold war.
The group’s vice-chairman, Frank Gaffney, a defense adviser to former president Ronald Reagan, said the committee hoped to “set the stage for a series of national debates about China” to address the threats the country posed. Gaffney has spent much of his time since leaving government in the 1980s propagating stridently anti-Islamic views.
“China’s arsenal for global supremacy includes economic, informational, political and military warfare,” read a statement by James Fanell, a former U.S. Navy intelligence official focusing on Pacific security affairs. The U.S. “has witnessed already China’s expansion into the vacuum of a diminishing U.S. presence in East Asia," he said.
