Bill Maher Criticizes Left's Reluctance to Address China's Global Threats

The comedian likened China's geopolitical influence to a new 'evil empire' and accused liberals of ignoring its actions due to racial sensitivities.

Bill Maher referred to China as 'the new Islam,' arguing that political correctness hinders honest discussions about the country's global influence and actions.
Maher highlighted China's rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, likening the competition with the U.S. to a modern 'Sputnik moment.'
He cited warnings from former FBI Director Christopher Wray about potential Chinese cyber threats to U.S. infrastructure and surveillance capabilities.
Maher criticized the reluctance to explore COVID-19's potential origins in a Wuhan lab, attributing it to fears of being labeled racist.
The panel discussion included calls to engage Chinese Americans who fled China for honest critiques of the Chinese Communist Party's actions.
