China’s Scientific Spies Operating in the U.S. Have Chinese State Security Code Names – Why Is US Allowing This?

[T]here is direct evidence that, for over thirty years, Chinese scientists who have come to the United States have been part of an organized espionage program run by China’s state security apparatus.

One of the most prominent of those is Shibo Jiang, a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) scientist, whose key position as the link between China’s biowarfare program and a network of Chinese scientists operating in the U.S. on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party has been well-documented by the Gateway Pundit, here, here and here.

Briefly, Shibo Jiang obtained his MS and MD degrees from the PLA’s First Military Medical University and the Fourth Military Medical University, respectively.

During his over 20 years working in the United States, Shibo Jiang developed an extensive network of collaborative research with other U.S. virus research laboratories and received more than $17 million in U.S. research grants, the vast majority coming from Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

During that entire period, Shibo Jiang actively collaborated with PLA laboratories, while simultaneously inviting into his U.S. laboratory and training scientists linked to the Chinese military.

At the same time Shibo Jiang was working with PLA scientists on coronaviruses, he was also working with scientists from Fort Detrick, the National Institutes of Health, the University of North Carolina, The University of Minnesota, the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and other major U.S. virus research centers.

According to sources originating from inside China, Shibo Jiang has been identified as a numbered agent for China’s state security apparatus.

Apparently, all Chinese scientists carrying out espionage operations for China’s state security apparatus have code names related to precious gems, like those from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

There are literally thousands of Chinese scientists working in U.S. laboratories, who are directly or indirectly working with China’s military, some of those are also helping disseminate Chinese Communist Party propaganda inside the United States.

No doubt, many of them are designated espionage agents with Chinese state security code names.

The problems emanating from the massive infiltration of U.S. research programs by Chinese scientists loyal to the Chinese Communist Party remain totally unaddressed by the U.S. government.

American knowledge, skills, technologies and taxpayer money continue to flow into China’s fused military-civilian research sector contributing to China’s goal of global dominance.

REVEALED: Hunter Biden, Former Biden Aide Invested in Chinese Company Tied to Communist Party, NBA China

As recently as March 2017, Hunter Biden’s private equity firm held a stake in a company run by a Chinese executive with ties to officials at some of the highest levels of the Communist Party of China, according to emails reviewed by FOX Business.

Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner, Eric Schwerin, sent him an email in March 2017 breaking down the ownership interests of Rosemont Seneca Advisors, which included a 5% stake in Harves Amusement Parks and ownership in Harves Sports and Entertainment.

Biden’s introduction to the Harves Group came about two years earlier, when Francis Person, who served as an adviser to then-Vice President Biden from 2009 to 2014 and was a “special assistant” to Biden in the Senate, sent an email to Hunter Biden in July 2015 inviting him to China the following month to meet his business partner, Bo Zhang, and his family.

“Bo Zhang and his family would host us. They are a great family with great respect and relationships in China. Bo graduated from American Univ and is in his late 20’s, and his parents own Harves Century Group of Shenyang – which is a top tier private chinese real estate development firm,” Person wrote. “His mom is actually the Chairman of the company, which is unique in China. They are very private, and wouldn’t tell anyone about you coming. Bo’s father-in-law is actually the Governor of Hainan (Chinese Hawaii), which he doesn’t advertise at all.”

Harves Century Group, which has backing from the state-owned China Development Bank, is headquartered in Shenyang, China, and is the parent company of multiple U.S.-based Harves affiliates, including Harves Investment Group (HIG), Harves Global Entertainment, and Harves Sports. Harves Century’s website says the chairwoman is Jenglan Shao, which is revealed to be Zhang’s mother according to Person’s 2015 email to Hunter Biden. It is unclear what her background is or whether she is an American citizen, but her name comes up on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) website as a maxed-out donor to Person’s failed 2016 campaign against then-Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C. Zhang also was a maxed-out donor to Person’s campaign. Schwerin and Hunter Biden both donated $2,700.

Report: China’s True COVID-19 Death Toll 366 Times Higher Than Official Figure

The Chinese regime has likely understated the COVID-19 death rate by as much as 17,000 percent in a systematic data suppression campaign to sustain its political image, according to a U.S. analyst.

That would put the number of COVID-19 deaths in China at around 1.7 million rather than 4,636, the two-year cumulative death figure that the Chinese authorities have maintained on the books. That’s 366 times the official figure.

Those findings made by George Calhoun, director of the quantitative finance program at Stevens Institute of Technology, were based on data as of January generated by a model developed by The Economist.

A vast majority of China’s officially recorded deaths came from Wuhan during the first three months of the pandemic, with only hundreds more reported in the rest of the country.

The Chinese regime only reported two additional deaths since April 1, 2020, ranking China as having the world’s lowest COVID-19 death rate, which Zhong Nanshan, the Chinese epidemiologist overseeing China’s outbreak response, boasted about just last week.

Intel Removes Mention of Xinjiang After Pressure From China

U.S. semiconductor chip company Intel has scrubbed all references to Xinjiang from an open letter on its website that created a backlash from China late last year.

Last month, Intel sent an open letter to its suppliers urging them to avoid sourcing materials from the Chinese province of Xinjiang, where the Communist Chinese government forces religious minorities into labor camps.

The Wall Street Journal at the time reported that Intel sent the letter to its global suppliers calling on them to avoid the region, stating that “multiple governments have imposed restrictions on products sourced from the Xinjiang region. Therefore, Intel is required to ensure our supply chain does not use any labor or source goods or services from the Xinjiang region.”

China took offense to the letter, financial news website Benzinga reported.

“Chinese state-run media and the nation’s social media channels — which consist almost entirely of pro-government messaging — took aim at Intel. The Global Times newspaper ran an editorial accusing Intel of being subservient to U.S. government demands while insisting that China’s leadership should make it ‘increasingly expensive for companies to offend China,’” the outlet noted.

TikTok Is a Chinese Weapon Pointed at American Kids to Distract Them

Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow and World Editor Frances Martel both described TikTok, a video-sharing app owned by Chinese company ByteDance, as a “foreign weapon” targeting American children and youth on Monday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast.

TikTok’s displacement of Google as the world’s most popular website, Marlow held, is illustrative of a broader displacement of America’s global position by China. He warned of TikTok and other digital apps’ capacities to obstruct personal development with time-wasting endeavors.

He remarked, “I was floored by the data that TikTok is now even more popular than Google around the world as the most popular domain. Not only is TikTok run by the Beijing Communist Party, but it’s also something that is wildly distracting, and it seems to be custom-built to distract young Americans from doing anything productive, and just to get sucked into this black hole of staring at your screen all day doing stupid stuff.” . . .

Martel replied, “TikTok is terrifying, because it’s a weapon targeted at the youngest Americans, and a lot of Americans are too busy trying to juggle two or three jobs to really stare at every single thing that their kid is watching on their computer, and that’s not their fault. That’s the fault of the non-Big Tech globalists that are making it impossible for you to sustain yourself on one salary, so you have to hustle with Uber or whatever and you’re not paying attention to your kids, and that’s where TikTok comes in.” (Read more from “TikTok Is a Chinese Weapon Pointed at American Kids to Distract Them” HERE)

Don’t Mention God: Nation Outlaws Online Talk of Religion

China long has tried to control its citizens’ religious thoughts. Mandatory registration for churches, pastors who must deliver government talking points, the suppression of any dissent, and more has been standard procedure for years. . .

Bitter Winter, an online magazine that focuses on religious faith in China, explains the repressive Chinese Communist Party running the nation has now adopted new Administrative Measures for Internet Religious Information Services.

The new procedures were adopted by the state Administration of Religious Affairs, the National Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and others, including two ministries that address “security.”

“The measures require an ‘Internet Religious Information Service License,’ which can only be granted to organizations part of the five authorized religions (since they should be ‘legally established,’ which is only possible within the five government-controlled organization), to disseminate religious content via the internet. Any other reference to religion on the web is declared illegal,” the publication explained.

“Even the organizations within the five authorized religions are subject to surveillance and limitations. They can broadcast sermons and lessons, but these would be checked by the authorities for their ‘Sinicized’ content, making sure they promote socialist values and support the party, and are not intended as proselytization tools.

Chinese Army Replacing Soldiers With Robots

The terrain being difficult, the Han Chinese soldiers unused to the cold and high altitude, the People’s Liberation Army has begun using robot vehicles for transportation and even reconnaissance.

Keeping in mind the difficult terrain of the Tibetan plateau and the difficulties the Han Chinese soldiers have faced because of the cold and the high altitude, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has moved in a large number of unmanned ground vehicles to carry troops, weaponry and supplies. More than half the vehicles are in areas close to the Ladakh area where the Chinese buildup is still in evidence.

The PLA has moved 88 Sharp Claw unmanned ground vehicles or UGVs into Tibet, and 38 of them in the western part of the province, close to where the Indian and Chinese armies are still face to face. The Sharp Claw UGV, manufactured by NORINCO, a Chinese arms manufacturer, can be used for reconnaissance, patrolling and transportation of weapons and logistical work in difficult terrain. it can also be fitted with weapons.

Top Harvard Scientist Who Hid Millions in Secret Payments From China Convicted on All Charges

Charles Lieber, a Harvard professor and one of America’s top research chemists, was found guilty on Tuesday of hiding his ties to a Chinese government recruitment program and accepting millions in payments.

The Department of Justice announced Lieber was convicted by a jury on two counts of making false statements to federal authorities, two counts of making a false income tax return and two counts of failing to report foreign bank and financial accounts with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). All six charges stemmed from Lieber’s efforts to conceal his ties with China’s Thousand Talents Program and the Wuhan University of Technology (WUT).

Lieber served as Principal Investigator of the Lieber Research Group at Harvard University, which received more than $15 million in federal research grants from 2008 to 2019. During the same time Lieber led his research group at Harvard, and unbeknownst to the Ivy League university, Lieber also acted as a “Strategic Scientist” at China’s WUT and then as a contractual participant in China’s Thousand Talents Plan.

The Thousand Talents Program is a Chinese government-backed effort to recruit primarily Chinese citizens who have been educated in elite programs overseas. The program aims to find these highly educated Chinese citizens and recruit them to bring their talents back and serve Chinese government interests.

Amazon Deleted Reviews of Chinese President’s Book on Government’s Orders: Report

Didn’t like Chinese President Xi Jinping’s book? Keep your mouth shut.

That’s what China told Amazon, according to a new report, when the country pushed the bookseller to delete all comments and reviews related to “The Governance of China,” a compendium of Xi’s speeches and writings.

Amazon complied. It’s another example of a US company bending to Chinese pressure in order to keep doing business in the huge and growing economy.

The government edict was delivered two years ago, according to the Reuters report citing two people familiar with the matter, but had never before been disclosed.

Now, on Amazon sites accessed within China, there are no reviews or star ratings for the book. (Read more from “Amazon Deleted Reviews of Chinese President’s Book on Government’s Orders: Report” HERE)

Former Harvard Chemistry Chair Admits to Taking Tens of Thousands of Dollars From China

The former chair of Harvard University’s chemistry department accused of hiding Chinese ties had admitted to taking tens of thousands of dollars from China, a video presented to the federal court on Dec. 17 shows.

The video, shot during federal investigators’ interrogation of nanoscientist Charles Lieber, was played for jurors during the Friday court hearing, the fourth day of the trial on Lieber’s alleged false statements about China funding.

The 62-year-old Harvard professor had maintained that he didn’t take payments from a Chinese university except for compensation of his travel costs to China. But he shifted account quickly after Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents Robert Plumb and Kara Spice accosted him with copies of evidence, including a bilingual contract he signed with the Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in 2011.

“That’s pretty damning,” Lieber, dressed in a blue jacket, told the agents at the campus police station during a three-hour interrogation, which took place on the day of Lieber’s arrest nearly two years ago. “Now that you bring it up, yes, I do remember,” he said in the recording, local media reported.

The five-year agreement described Lieber as a “strategic scientist” at the Chinese school that entitled him to $50,000 per month with approximately $158,000 in living expenses. It also alluded to his future involvement with China’s Thousand Talents Plan, a state-run program to solicit top scientific and specialized experts from around the world.
