America must “find a way to save itself and our property in space, because the Chinese will reach the moon,” Gordon Chang warned on “The Ingram Angle” on Monday night.
“They will take the best places for commercial exploitation and the best places for military purposes,” the author of “The Coming Cups in China” told guest host Jesse Waters. “We need to get there first. We can do that and we can do without the Chinese.”
Chang and Waters were responding to a Politico report claiming that top advisers to President-elect Joe Biden have urged the incoming administration to enter into a “limited space partnership” with Beijing in hopes of easing tensions between the two countries.

“The next 9/11 will be in space, and we will be its victims,” Chang said with a stern warning about the possible consequences of China’s aerial ambitions.
