A U.S. Army recruiter purported to be Max Zhang has appeared on video suggesting that he would lay down his arms should America and China go to war. Zhang says he would instead remain neutral and aid the Chinese people, though he insists he would not support their communist government.
“Being a soldier really isn’t that hard because it’s just a job,” Zhang says. “We don’t need to talk about a country or any loyalty because it’s just a job, right? No matter who you work for, it’s just a job and whoever will pay you.”
“In eleven years as a soldier, the U.S. Army has never emphasized how China is bad,” he tells the interviewer. Zhang reiterates: “I’ve never heard it.” He goes on to emphasize that there has been no anti-China indoctrination in the U.S. military, again stating he’s never heard anyone push the idea that China is an enemy of the United States.
‘NEUTRAL.’
However, Zhang also appears to admit to concerning Chinese sympathies in the interview, alluding to several illicit vacations he may have taken to the country while stationed in South Korea. When asked what he would do if the U.S. and China went to war, Zhang initially dismissed the idea as unrealistic, warning that “If they went to war, nuclear weapons would be used. It might turn into World War III.”
“If war does happen, then I’ll definitely quit the U.S. Army,” Zhang eventually concedes, adding: “I also won’t be joining the Chinese Army because I’m an American citizen.” He stresses that he would want to remain neutral in the conflict and instead try to aid Chinese people who need help.
U.S. military personnel take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” and to “obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over [them].”
CHINESE INFILTRATION.
The video interview—if authentic—underscores mounting concerns regarding potential Chinese influence over and infiltration of U.S. military and governmental entities. The National Pulse previously reported that Chinese agents have operated relatively unabated under the Biden government. In March of this year, the House Oversight Committee Chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), acknowledged that China “has infiltrated just about every major part of our federal government.” He added that the infiltration extends to practically all aspects of the economy, the education system, and the corporate sector.
