Chinese Migrants Infiltrating Guam Military Base Raise Alarms Over National Security: CCP Wants to ‘Exploit’ Every Part of the U.S. Map

/0 Comments/in , /by

In recent years, a troubling trend has emerged in the U.S. territory of Guam, where concerns are mounting over the infiltration of Chinese migrants, raising serious questions about national security. With over 20,000 troops stationed on the island and hosting crucial military installations, Guam has become a focal point in the growing tension between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Since 2022, there has been a notable increase in the number of Chinese nationals illegally entering Guam from the nearby Northern Mariana Islands. This influx poses a significant risk, as it opens avenues for potential CCP influence within the territory. According to reports from Guam’s homeland security agency, there have been 118 documented cases of “unlawful or attempted unlawful entries by Chinese citizens” since 2022, a trend that has raised red flags among top Republican officials.

House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., has warned that the CCP is adept at exploiting vulnerabilities, and Guam’s strategic importance makes it a prime target for infiltration. He emphasized the critical role Guam plays in defending U.S. interests in the western Pacific and expressed concern over the surge in Chinese nationals entering the island, citing the uncertainty surrounding their intentions.

Green placed blame on the Biden administration for what he perceives as a failure to address the issue effectively, accusing it of displaying weakness that the CCP is quick to exploit. The situation is further exacerbated by the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, where Chinese migrants are reportedly the fastest-growing group being smuggled into the country.

Adding to the complexity is a visa loophole that allows Chinese nationals to visit the Northern Mariana Islands without a visa for up to 14 days.

The infiltration extends beyond Guam, prompting action from top leaders in the Senate. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, has been vocal about the need to address the visa loophole, emphasizing the potential dangers posed by spies gathering intelligence on U.S. military activities.

Ernst, along with Rep. Neal Dunn, R-Fla., penned a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, urging the administration to address the policy loophole. While the administration has touted the economic benefits of the visa program for the Northern Mariana Islands, critics argue that national security concerns must take precedence.

China Claims U.S. Executives Salute XI’s ‘Outstanding Leadership’ in Beijing

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. business executives met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Wednesday. China‘s state media outlet Xinhua reported that they included, “[Evan] Greenberg, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, [Stephen] Schwarzman, Chairman and CEO of Blackstone Group, [Cristiano] Amon, President and CEO of Qualcomm, [and Graham] Allison, Founding Dean of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.” U.S.-China Business Council chief Craig Allen and FedEx’s Raj Subramaniam also attended the meeting.

This meeting was designed to bolster China’s economic credibility and encourage foreign investors to believe that they’ll be treated fairly. These are no small concerns amid Xi’s increasingly aggressive effort to monitor and control foreign businesses. While China complains that Western criticism of these laws is unfair and even slanderous, escalating Chinese raids on foreign businesses speaks to the truth. Alongside their growing recognition of China’s structural economic challenges, Western businesses are reducing their investments. This is a big problem for Xi and his debt-riven economy.

Yet if one is to believe Chinese state media, U.S. executives have absolute confidence in Xi’s vision for the future.

According to Xinhua, after all, the U.S.-China Business Council’s “[Craig] Allen and other” members of the U.S. delegation observed that “China has achieved extraordinary economic growth and transformation, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality.” The Americans apparently added that “Under the outstanding leadership of President Xi Jinping, China is committed to developing new productive forces and achieving more sustainable and high-quality development. … The economic relations between the United States and China are closely interdependent. … They are optimistic about China’s economic development prospects and will unswervingly continue to work in China and develop a long-term and close cooperative relationship with China….” (Read more from “China Claims U.S. Executives Salute XI’s ‘Outstanding Leadership’ in Beijing” HERE)

Chinese Auto Executive: ‘Bloodbath’ Coming for American Auto Industry

/0 Comments/in , /by

He Xiaopeng, the CEO of XPeng Motors, predicts a “bloodbath” against America’s auto industry with the help of cheap China-made electric vehicles (EVs).

Over the weekend, former President Donald Trump was campaigning in Andalia, Ohio, when he warned that without fierce new United States tariffs on China-made EVs, the American auto industry will face “a bloodbath for the country” with jobs lost and industry offshored. . .

CNBC reported:

“This year also marks the beginning of a fierce competition that may end in a ‘bloodbath’ (or as I prefer to call it, the brutal ‘knockout round’) among Chinese auto makers,” Xiaopeng wrote in the employee memo. [Emphasis added]

“XPeng has engaged in this cutthroat competition right from the outset, thus accumulating considerable experience. Our guts, grit and perseverance, I firmly believe, will lead us to victory.” [Emphasis added]

U.S. Senators Issue Warning: Dependence on China for Crucial Medical Supplies Imperils National Security

/6 Comments/in , /by

In a recent alarming revelation, Senators Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have sounded the alarm on the United States’ growing reliance on China for critical medical supplies, particularly needles, syringes, and rubber medical gloves. The senators caution that this burgeoning dependence not only jeopardizes Americans’ health but also poses significant national security risks.

The senators underscored that the U.S. has more than doubled its reliance on imported needles and syringes from China and other nations over the past six years. In 2018, a mere 15 percent of the 10 million needles and syringes used daily in America were imported. Today, that figure has soared to a concerning 40 percent, leaving the nation vulnerable to potential risks associated with faulty medical equipment.

Reports of defective syringes originating from China have prompted investigations by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Leaks or breakages in such syringes can lead to catastrophic medical errors, including incorrect dosages of medication, with potentially fatal consequences.

Moreover, the senators lamented the closure of four out of six manufacturing sites for these critical medical supplies within the U.S. borders. They emphasized the vital role of a resilient domestic supply chain in safeguarding the nation’s crisis response capabilities and the health of its citizens.

Echoing calls for bolstering domestic production, Ricketts and Blumenthal urged continued efforts to ramp up manufacturing of essential medical supplies within the United States. They emphasized the need to learn from the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which American businesses and manufacturers demonstrated their ability to rapidly scale up production to meet urgent demands.

However, it’s not just needles and syringes facing increased imports from China. Rubber medical gloves, essential for various medical procedures and everyday tasks, have also seen a surge in imports from the Asian giant. Scott Maier, CEO of Blue Star NBR, an American manufacturer, revealed that China’s share of the U.S. rubber glove supply has skyrocketed from 14 percent to a worrying 44 percent, with projections indicating a potential rise to two-thirds by year-end.

Maier’s experience underscores the challenges faced by American manufacturers in maintaining domestic production amid rising costs and regulatory hurdles. Despite initial efforts under the Trump administration to support domestic manufacturing, obstacles such as inflation and supply chain disruptions have hindered progress. Maier’s state-of-the-art rubber factory, intended to supply a significant portion of the nation’s rubber glove needs, remains unfinished due to funding issues exacerbated by changing administrations’ priorities.

Beijing’s Military Hacked U.S. Nuclear Firm Before Hunter Biden Aided Chinese Bid to Acquire It

/1 Comment/in , /by

U.S. officials were acutely aware that Beijing was trying to obtain America’s premiere nuclear reactor technology, including through illicit hacking, months before Hunter Biden and his business partners sought to arrange a quiet sale of an iconic U.S. reactor company to a Chinese firm, according to court records and national security experts.

Hunter Biden’s unsuccessful efforts to help CEFC China Energy acquire Westinghouse, one of America’s most famous electricity and appliance brands, and its state-the-art AP1000 nuclear reactor began in early 2016 while Joe Biden was still a sitting vice president, memos published Wednesday by Just the News show.

Just 20 months earlier, his father’s Justice Department charged five members of a Chinese military hacking unit for breaching the company’s computer systems in search of intellectual property and internal strategy communications, according to a copy of the indictment.

In May 2014, the five operatives of the People’s Liberation Army’s Unit 61398 were charged with hacking into the systems of six U.S.-based companies across different industrial sectors, including Westinghouse Electric Co., SolarWorld, United States Steel Corp., and a union. The attorney general at the time, Eric Holder, called the breach a classic case of “economic espionage.”

One operative gained access to Westinghouse’s computers in 2010 and “stole proprietary and confidential technical and design specifications related to pipes, pipe supports, and pipe routing” pertaining to the company’s advanced AP1000 nuclear reactor design, according to an indictment filed by the Department of Justice.

Hunter Biden Witness May Be Self-Serving but His China Cover-up Info Is Accurate

/1 Comment/in , /by

Fugitive Gal Luft, the “missing witness” from the Biden corruption investigation, has made fresh allegations about the president’s family’s China connections in an exclusive 50-page expose obtained by The Post.

The former Israel Defense Force lieutenant colonel, who worked with the same Chinese energy company, CEFC, that paid Hunter and Jim Biden more than $8 million, skipped bail in Cyprus last year after being charged with attempted gun-running, acting as a foreign agent for China and lying to the FBI.

While his attacks on federal prosecutors clearly are self-serving, his disclosures so far have proven accurate, and his ongoing conversations with former employees of CEFC while on the run have produced new information about how influential Americans on both sides of the aisle in Washington were recruited to serve China’s imperialist Belt and Road Initiative.

Hunter Biden, “the true sheikh of Washington,” as one of his partners dubbed him, wasn’t the only VIP cultivated by CEFC’s enigmatic billionaire chairman Ye Jianming, who sprinkled expensive diamonds around Washington like candy.

An energy expert with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, Luft claims, “three former national security advisors, a former CIA Director, a former NSA Director, a former Chairman of the Fed, former cabinet secretaries, former senators, retired generals, CEOs [acted as] CEFC’s enablers in Washington [and] were willing to go to great lengths to enrich themselves by parking under Ye’s gown.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden Witness May Be Self-Serving but His China Cover-up Info Is Accurate” HERE)

Ex-Obama Official Tried to Remove Chinese Drone Company From U.S. List of Chinese Military Companies

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch tried to secretly push the Department of Defense to remove a controversial Chinese drone company from a U.S. list of Chinese companies that are part of the communist country’s military.

Reuters reported that SZ DJI Technology Co. turned to Lynch and two other former U.S. officials — former Assistant United States Attorney Michael Gertzman and Associate White House Counsel in the Obama administration Roberto Gonzalez — to get them removed from the list.

All three former U.S. officials — who now work together at the Paul, Weiss law firm — signed the letter to the Pentagon official last year and put a “confidential treatment requested” label on the letter.

DJI represents a potential threat to U.S. national security, the Pentagon said in 2021. (Read more from “Ex-Obama Official Tried to Remove Chinese Drone Company From U.S. List of Chinese Military Companies” HERE)

U.S. Intelligence Officer Accused of Selling Military Secrets to China

/0 Comments/in , /by

A U.S. Army intelligence analyst was arrested this week on allegations that he sold military secrets to China.

Korbein Schultz, a 24-year-old Army soldier stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky and Tennessee, was charged on Thursday with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, exporting technical data related to defense articles without a license, conspiracy to export defense articles without a license, and bribery of a public official. Schultz is accused of sending critical military documents, including information on U.S. weapons systems, to an individual in Hong Kong in exchange for $42,000.

“Mr. Schultz, a member of the U.S. Army, stands accused of conspiring to obtain and provide national defense information to an individual overseas. As part of the conspiracy, the defendant provided sensitive government information to his coconspirator in exchange for thousands of dollars, placing personal profit above the security of the American people,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department.

Schultz appeared in federal court in Nashville on Friday and pled not guilty to the crimes he is charged with.

According to the indictment, Schultz’s illegal activity began in June 2022 and continued until his arrest. One of his most recent duties was listed as “Classified Document Custodian,” the indictment noted. (Read more from “U.S. Intelligence Officer Accused of Selling Military Secrets to China” HERE)

Discovery Channel Laments Co-Producing Chinese Propaganda Covering Up Uyghur Genocide

/2 Comments/in , /by

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., the parent company of the Discovery Channel, appeared to express remorse in a letter to members of Congress made public on Thursday about its decision to co-produce a travel program with Chinese state media focused on occupied East Turkistan, where the Communist Party has been engaging in genocidal activities since at least 2017.

The Discovery Channel entered an agreement with CGTN, a Chinese government propaganda outlet, to produce a documentary released in January called World’s Ultimate Frontier, showcasing the breathtaking desert and mountain landscapes of East Turkistan. China refers to East Turkistan, a formerly free state colonized by mass murderer Mao Zedong, by the Mandarin name “Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,” or XUAR. The documentary claims to portray the “real Xinjiang,” as opposed to the reality that human rights activists and journalists have uncovered throughout the past decade of a genocidal police state littered with concentration camps, slave-worked farms, and high-tech mass surveillance.

“What comes to mind when you think of Xinjiang? Vast expanses of desert, towering mountains, diverse minorities living in harmony, cultures fusing together?” CGTN asks in its promotional video on the documentary.

“The fact is that Xinjiang has so many facets that its charm can hardly be captured in words! Thankfully anyone interested in experiencing the real Xinjiang is in for a treat when the documentary World’s Ultimate Frontier is aired on January 19.”

CGTN deleted its preview article and video on the documentary series shortly after its debut, as it attracted the attention of members of Congress, who questioned the Discovery Channel’s role in promoting the series. The series remains online, however, on CGTN’s YouTube channel, with no overt mentions of the Discovery Channel’s role in the production.

‘Blood Money’: Two of the Biggest Funders of the Radical Transgender Movement in the U.S. Are China-Linked Billionaires

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pro-Beijing groups financially backed by two China-linked billionaires are pushing the radical transgender movement as a means of advancing a Marxist agenda in the United States, seven-time New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer reveals in his new book Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.

In Blood Money, Schweizer, who is a Breitbart News senior contributor and the president of the Government Accountability Institute, reveals China’s multi-pronged, covert attack on America. In Chapter 6, called “Destabilizing Democracy,” Schweizer explores how two billionaires, China-based American Neville Roy Singham and Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai, prop up radical activists groups that use transgenderism as a weapon against the “capitalist order.”

Schweizer first focuses on Singham, who grew up in Jamaica and Detroit, Michigan, and as a young man adopted communist ideological views, joining the League of Revolutionary Black Workers (LRBW). Singham ended up creating a software business named Thoughtworks, while also serving as a “strategic technical consultant” for Huawei, the Chinese military-linked tech company.

Thoughtworks eventually opened an office in Beijing; and in 2010, it held its Software Development Conference in China’s capital city. However, Singham ended up selling the company in 2017, a sale which was a “financial boon” for him and enabled him to dump money into various companies in China, where he now lives, according to Blood Money.

“While enjoying his affluent life and connections in Beijing, Singham has poured more than $100 million into organizations driving the protest movement in the United States,” Schweizer details. “According to the chief scientist at Thoughtworks, Martin Fowler, Singham sold the company so he could fund his ‘activist work’: radical pro–Communist Chinese causes.” (Read more from “‘Blood Money’: Two of the Biggest Funders of the Radical Transgender Movement in the U.S. Are China-Linked Billionaires” HERE)
