AMERICA COMPROMISED: Leaked Database Reveals China Has Embedded Thousands of Spies in U.S., Other Western Governments

The Daily Mail out of Australia claims that “thousands of CCP members have infiltrated corporations” and that the “Chinese ‘state-sponsored spy ring’ [has also] infiltrated Australian, British and US consulates.”

The news outlet describes the “extraordinary leak of a database of 1.95 million registered Chinese Communist Party members. . . believed to be the first of its kind,” and contends that it reveals “how Beijing’s influence has stretched into every corner of Western governments, defence firms, banks and pharmaceutical giants.”

Apparently, a communist Chinese database was hacked by dissidents who ultimately published the party membership list on the encrypted messaging platform, Telegram.

The Daily Mail contends that “[h]undreds of Communist Party members listed in the database were exposed as working in top corporations including defence aerospace firm Boeing, Airbus and Rolls-Royce.”

Former CIA Station Chief: Swalwell Report Shows China ‘Ruthlessly Focused’ on U.S. Spying

By Fox News. The extent of the Chinese espionage efforts in the United States is diverse and ubiquitous, and checking it requires working with local leaders to stop the kind of targeting that ensnared Rep. Eric Swalwell, a former top CIA official told Fox News on Friday.

“China practices their own Orwellian espionage on their citizens and they’re mounting a full-throttle espionage campaign against us here,” former CIA station chief Dan Hoffman told “America’s Newsroom.” If we don’t come together as Democrats and Republicans, we won’t be able to counter them very well.”

Swalwell, D-Calif., is under fire for ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, raising questions about how extensive China’s spying is in the United States. Axios reported earlier this week that a woman named Christine Fang, who is also known as Fang Fang, allegedly developed ties with local and national politicians, including Swalwell. Fang reportedly met Swalwell more than six years ago when he was a councilman before he was elected to Congress.

That same report said that Fang allegedly had sexual encounters with at least two Midwestern mayors, which raised questions about Swalwell’s relationship with Fang. China reportedly has a history of conducting suspicious activities to gain access to and influence U.S. political circles.
