As a member of the Trilateral Commission and President of the subversive Council on Foreign Relations, Froman argues that China Has Already Remade the International System. His declaration is a day late and a dollar short and thoroughly disingenuous.

In 2001, an article appeared in Time Magazine where another Trilateral, Hedley Donovan, was a founding member of the Trilateral Commission, and his publication was one of several media outlets that collaborated with Trilateral initiatives. The article, Made in China: The Revenge of the Nerds , accurately and plainly revealed what had taken place during the prior 20 years:

The nerds are run­ning the show in today's China. In the twenty years since Deng Xiaoping's reforms kicked in, the com­po­si­tion of the Chi­nese lead­er­ship has shifted markedly in favor of tech­nocrats. …It's no exag­ger­a­tion to describe the cur­rent regime as a tech­noc­racy.

After the Maoist mad­ness abated and Deng Xiaoping inau­gu­rated the opening and reforms that began in late 1978, sci­en­tific and tech­nical intel­lec­tuals were among the first to be reha­bil­i­tated. Real­izing that they were the key to the Four Mod­ern­iza­tions embraced by the reformers, con­certed efforts were made to bring the "experts" back into the fold.

During the 1980s, tech­noc­racy as a con­cept was much talked about, espe­cially in the con­text of so-called "Neo-Authoritarianism" — the prin­ciple at the heart of the "Asian Devel­op­mental Model" that South Korea, Sin­ga­pore, and Taiwan had pur­sued with apparent suc­cess. The basic beliefs and assump­tions of the tech­nocrats were laid out quite plainly: Social and eco­nomic prob­lems were akin to engi­neering prob­lems and could be under­stood, addressed, and even­tu­ally solved as such.

The open hos­tility to reli­gion that Bei­jing exhibits at times — most notably in its obses­sive drive to stamp out the "evil cult" of Falun Gong — has pre-Marxist roots. Sci­en­tism under­lies the post-Mao tech­noc­racy, and it is the ortho­doxy against which here­sies are mea­sured. [Emphasis added]

Froman's latest article asks "How the World Adopted Beijing's Economic Playbook" and then carefully adds sub-heads like "How China Won", "The United States is already living in China's world" and "IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM."
