Meet the US Army Vet Running a California Baby Factory for Chinese Nationals to have American Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

Wealthy Chinese couples are implanting their embryos into American women so their children can be born as US citizens, The Post has learned.

The service is provided by a surrogacy agency, Patriot Conceptions, which operates between China and the US and has been accused of hiding details of who the biological parents are from surrogates.

Women who carry babies for the agency are recruited informally through social media and collect between $60,000 and $120,000 dollars for their services.

The children are then swept off by their parents to be raised in China, where it is seen as a status symbol among the wealthy to have a child able to claim US citizenship.

Incredibly, such a service is completely legal, thanks to free-wheeling surrogacy laws and liberal interpretations of the birthright citizenship clause in the Fourteenth Amendment, recently reaffirmed by the Supreme Court.

Patriot Conceptions is run by a high-energy US Army vet named Haotian Bai — who founded the international surrogacy agency and last year received a prestigious fellowship from a top Republican think tank, which describes him as a “pioneering entrepreneur in the third-party reproduction” sector.

University Of Washington Scrubbed Pentagon-Funded Professor’s Ties To Chinese Military Firm, Report Finds

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the most federally funded universities in America quietly removed its professor’s ties to a Chinese company, a new report found.

The University of Washington maintained a years-long research relationship with Shanghai biotech firm Origincell Technology Co., Ltd., primarily through mechanical engineering professor Dayong Gao, according to a Strategy Risks report obtained and reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Gao’s cryopreservation research at the Center for Cryo-Biomedical Engineering and Artificial Organs was funded by the Department of War, among other federal agencies, before the department identified Origincell as a Chinese Military Company.

The Department of War first listed the company as a Chinese military company operating in the United States in Jan. 2025, according to a Federal Register notice. The department restated the listing in June 2026 and said Origincell is “indirectly affiliated” with the People’s Liberation Army, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and other Chinese defense-industrial bodies, the designation notice stated.

Origincell builds automated freezers to store human cells and other biological samples, according to the company’s ‘About’ page.

Gao received the “Origincell Endowed Professorship” at a Jan. 2017 ceremony attended by Origincell executives and university officials, including UW Vice Provost Jeffrey Riedinger, College of Engineering Dean Michael Bragg and Mechanical Engineering Department Chair Per Reinhall, a UW Mechanical Engineering release said.

China Launches Ambitious National Plan to Reverse Birth Rate Collapse

/0 Comments/in , /by

The director of China’s National Health Commission (NHC) announced during a press conference Monday that the Communist Party will be investing heavily in programs intended to raise the birth rate, particularly in expanding access to pediatric care and child care for working families.

The ambitious program is part of the Communist Party’s “15th Five-Year Plan” to improve the strength of the state generally, which emphasized the need to encourage Chinese citizens to marry and start large families. China has documented a dramatic decline in its birth rate over the past decade, defying the government’s decision to do away with the Mao Zedong-era “one-child policy” in 2015 and ultimately allowing families up to three children before forced government abortions and sterilization.

Despite the legal approval to reproduce, many Chinese citizens have foregone marrying and building families. China’s birth rate hit record lows in 2025, according to official government statistics, and China lost its status as the world’s most populous nation to India in 2023. Complicating factors is the reality of a much more substantial male than female population – estimates suggest China is home to about 33 more men than women – as a result of parents killing girl babies during the “one-child policy” era to try again for a more prestigious son.

Chinese statistics authorities announced in January that the population of China at the end of 2025 was 1.404 billion, down 3 million from the prior year. The birth rate declined 17 percent in a year, resulting in under 8 million births in 2025. Some experts attributed the decline to 2025 mostly overlapping with the Year of the Snake, which many Chinese parents consider inauspicious for giving birth.

Despite the years of discouraging statistics, NHC chief Lei Haichao attempted to present a more optimistic take on the nation’s demographic future during his remarks on Monday, offered to reporters during an event hosted by the country’s State Council Information Office, a formal government propaganda wing. Lei insisted that China was not alone in seeing its birth rate decline, especially among countries with rapid industrialization and growing economies.

Canada Has Reopened Military Channel to Beijing After Eight Years, China’s Defense Ministry Announces

/0 Comments/in , /by

Canada’s military reopened a formal channel to China’s People’s Liberation Army last Friday for the first time in eight years, and Canadians have learned of it only from Beijing.

China’s defence ministry says Canada and China revived their formal Defence Coordination Dialogue on September 4.

Canadians have learned of the meeting not from their own government, but from a terse statement issued by Beijing.

The fifth China-Canada Defence Coordination Dialogue was held in Canada, according to a two-paragraph notice posted at 10:19 p.m. Beijing time on September 5 on the English-language website of the Ministry of National Defense of the People’s Republic of China.

The ministry said the two sides discussed international and regional issues and expressed a willingness to strengthen “practical exchanges and cooperation” between their militaries.

DOJ: Chinese State-Sponsored Hackers Breached Senate, Federal Reserve, Multiple Agencies

/0 Comments/in , /by

The DOJ said Wednesday it had seized internet domains tied to two hacking platforms that Chinese state-sponsored operatives used to break into the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Senate, NASA and several other federal agencies.

CNBC reports that the DOJ said the platforms, known as QScan and QTRouter, were built and run by a Chinese state-sponsored group it calls QTFY. Court documents unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California identify QTFY as operating out of Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Co., a China-based firm. The DOJ said QTFY’s paying customers included the People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of State Security and the People’s Liberation Army.

Beyond the Federal Reserve, the Senate, and NASA, the DOJ named the Department of Justice itself, the Energy Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Institutes of Health as victims of the intrusion campaign. A court filing describing additional targets stated: “Other targeted networks include those operated by hospitals, telecommunications providers, power companies, financial institutions, and defense contractors.”

Both pieces of malware had the seized domains hard-coded into them, and officials said removing the domains rendered QScan and QTRouter inoperable. The department said the platforms were “used to target U.S. critical infrastructure and other sensitive networks.” It did not disclose the extent of any damage caused by the intrusions at the agencies or other targets.

Attorney General Todd Blanche framed the seizure as part of a broader campaign against Chinese hacking operations. “State-sponsored malicious hackers preying on America’s critical infrastructure will be stopped and prosecuted. We are here to ensure security for the American people and will use every tool we have to keep that promise,” Blanche said in a statement issued Wednesday. He added that “Federal law enforcement investigated and disabled the PRC’s malicious software, the latest in a series of technical operations to dismantle indiscriminate hacking activities sponsored by the People’s Republic of China.” (Read more from “DOJ: Chinese State-Sponsored Hackers Breached Senate, Federal Reserve, Multiple Agencies” HERE)

How US Military Funding Propelled China’s Robot Dogs

/0 Comments/in , /by

China’s Unitree Robotics — among the world’s biggest producers of humanoid and quadruped robots — based designs for its most successful robot dogs on innovations funded by the U.S. military, according to a former U.S. defense technology official and three top researchers involved in the project.

Unitree’s $1,600 Go2 model, launched in 2023, helped the company rapidly dominate the global quadruped robot market — its Shanghai IPO has drawn frenzied demand. Another Unitree robot has been shown on Chinese state television, armed and accompanying People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops on an exercise.

These robots draw on breakthroughs in quadruped movement financed by the U.S. DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and other military programs, the researchers and the former official told Reuters.

The Army-funded project turned into, “basically, the first Unitree robot that had any kind of scale,” said Gavin Kenneally, a former University of Pennsylvania researcher involved in the program.

Ben Katz, who worked at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Biomimetic Robotics Lab, among a consortium of universities financed by the military programs, said the dimensions of Unitree’s popular Go series were “to the millimeter” almost identical to a groundbreaking robot he helped develop called Mini Cheetah.

Researchers Crack Open ‘Garlic-Shaped Bottle’ Hiding Rare Surprise from 2,200 Years Ago

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Researchers in China recently uncovered a very unusual find: a large bottle containing an alcoholic drink buried for more than 2,200 years.

The ancient alcohol was found sealed in a bronze vessel in a Qin tomb at the Shanjiabao cemetery in China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The findings were published in the June issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports.

The tomb dates to the Warring States period (475-221 B.C.), a turbulent era of rival kingdoms before China’s first unification.

The preserved liquid was determined to be an ancient cereal-based alcoholic beverage, a fermented grain drink sometimes loosely described as “beer.”

Unlike other recent discoveries in which archaeologists found only residue from ancient drinks, the bottle contained an impressive 3,740 milliliters, or 3.74 liters, of preserved liquid.

The researchers were surprised when they encountered the liquid, said Ruru Chen, a researcher at Northwest University’s School of Cultural Heritage in Xi’an, China. (Read more from “Researchers Crack Open ‘Garlic-Shaped Bottle’ Hiding Rare Surprise from 2,200 Years Ago” HERE)

This University Received More Foreign Money than Any Other U.S. College

/0 Comments/in , /by

Harvard University, which has ties to Communist China, has apparently outpaced other American universities in receiving foreign funding.

Now, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who also chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, wants government officials to investigate China’s flow of money into colleges, Fox News reported Monday.

The outlet noted the U.S. Department of Education has kept a list of federally funded universities that received foreign money, and “The Trump administration sought to revamp the agency’s online reporting portal, and, in doing so, it has shown that one institution, Harvard University, has scored more foreign funding than any other college in the country.”

Cotton wants answers regarding the issue, saying he was concerned that transactions with sanctioned Chinese entities may not have been reported.

“Therefore, I encourage additional scrutiny of financial ties between American universities and Communist China,” he said. (Read more from “This University Received More Foreign Money than Any Other U.S. College” HERE)

Trump Reveals China Stole Voter Registration Data from 220M Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump revealed that China stole the voter registration data of 220 million Americans as part of his primetime speech on Thursday.

“This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare,” Trump said.

Some government officials reportedly knew China stole at least some voter registration data — ranging from names and addresses to party affiliations and Social Security numbers — as early as 2020, but didn’t tell Trump about it before the election that year.

There have been multiple reports of Beijing accessing US voter registration data, and an intelligence report declassified in 2022 found that “Chinese officials analyzed multiple US states’ election voter registration data,” but the number of affected Americans has never before been reported.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) earlier confirmed Thursday that Trump’s speech would have to do with election security and China in a post to X. (Read more from “Trump Reveals China Stole Voter Registration Data from 220M Americans” HERE)

Pastor Freed from Chinese Prison after Trump Raised His Case with Xi Jinping

/0 Comments/in , /by

The pastor of a prominent underground church in China who was imprisoned by Chinese authorities last year has been released and reunited with his family in the U.S., according to reports.

Ezra Jin, founder of Zion Church, was one of nearly 30 Zion Church pastors and staff members detained in October during one of China’s largest crackdowns on evangelical churches in decades, according to the nonprofit advocacy group Luke Alliance.

Jin was released from detention and arrived in Los Angeles on Friday, ChinaAid reported. According to the Christian human rights organization, Chinese authorities told Jin he was being released due to negotiations between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

During a high-profile state visit to Beijing in May, Trump raised Jin’s case directly with the Chinese leader. On his flight back to the U.S., Trump told reporters that Xi promised to “strongly consider” the pastor’s release.

“We are feeling so overwhelmed with joy. We thank God for this tremendous miracle,” his daughter Grace Jin Drexel said in a family statement to CNN. (Read more from “Pastor Freed from Chinese Prison after Trump Raised His Case with Xi Jinping” HERE)
