This is one of the “whatever you want” stories.
In July 2020, the Trump administration started a Cracking down on Chinese intelligence activities In the U.S.
The Trump administration is increasing US pressure on China, increasing visa bans, sanctions and other restrictive measures that are hitting the already unstable relationship between the world’s two largest economies.
In a speech on Thursday, Attorney General William Barr warned American companies that they face the risk of cooperating with the Chinese government, which ultimately tries to replace them in its expanding state-run economy. People familiar with the matter said that government officials are still discussing prohibiting Chinese Communists and their families from traveling to the United States.
People familiar with the matter said that the discussion is still at an early stage and there is no timetable for implementation. If implemented in policy, consultants and policy analysts said that the ban will hit the legitimacy of increasingly powerful parties.
In recent weeks, the US government has intensified a broader confrontation with Beijing by imposing sanctions on a member of the Communist Party’s leadership, signing legislation against other Chinese officials, and holding full-scale military exercises in the South China Sea.
The Democratic-controlled media attributed this to Trump’s polling data and alleged failures in responding to the Wuhan virus, and Mercenaries in beijing A Chinese source was deliberately quoted and this baseless accusation was made:
Behind the scenes, senior Chinese officials do not seem to want to further increase tensions, worrying that any move may fall into President Trump’s re-election campaign. A high-profile showdown with China could distract Americans from Trump’s botched response to the pandemic and allow him to run as a leader who defends the country from foreign powers.
“This is a classic game, looking for external interference and awakening the people behind the president,” said Liu Zhaojia, a senior Beijing adviser on Hong Kong.
Although it may be too late, it is obviously reasonable. For decades, China has entered the structure of American economic and political life. Many of our major research universities are flooded with Chinese funds and Chinese researchers. Intellectual property rights are stolen or abandoned under compulsory circumstances. After the disclosure of Chinese hackers’ destruction of personnel management office documents in 2015, I don’t know how many senior US bureaucrats are Chinese assets.For many years, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein (Dianne Feinstein) has had a Chinese agent as her personal driver (see How the FBI made a Chinese spy skate to protect this powerful Democrat).A Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee had a sexual relationship with a Chinese intelligence officer (see When Eric Swarwell went to bed with a Chinese spy, Adam Schiff put him in charge of the supervision of the CIA. New information shows that Democrat Eric Swarwell lied about severing ties with Chinese honeypots, and Jim Sciutto gave Eric Swalwell a tongue bath (NTTAWWT) instead of making him responsible for the compromise of the Chinese intelligence agency). Our CIA seems to be flooded with Chinese assets. Mainstream American publications published a multi-page Chinese advertisement special, and then mysteriously protected China from attack.
One of the major initiatives is to target Chinese researchers who have connections with the Chinese government, especially the Chinese military, and who conceal these connections.
FBI Director Christopher A. Wray said In this month’s speech The agency will launch a new China-related counterintelligence investigation every 10 hours. In the example he cited, there were four researchers involved in the state under the jurisdiction of the Houston Consulate.
On Monday, the Justice Department announced visa fraud charges against Stanford University visiting scholar Song Chen, who was accused of concealing her active membership in the Chinese military. In January, The FBI announced that it is seeking Boston University student Ye Yanqing concealed his relationship with the People’s Liberation Army when applying for a visa. US officials believe that Ms. Ye is in China.
In December last year, US authorities arrested Zheng Zaosong, a Chinese cancer cell researcher, at Boston’s Logan International Airport. Accuse him of trying to smuggle 21 bottles of stolen biological research were shipped back to China.
In April 2019, officials at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston Said they are investigating several scientists For improper disclosure. Officials did not disclose the identity of these scientists, two of whom have resigned. But the edited survey report mentions relations with China or Chinese residents or institutions.
A total of eight Chinese citizens are facing federal criminal charges for concealing ties with the Chinese military. Now, all these cases have been dismissed at the request of Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.
The US Department of Justice’s decision this week to drop the case filed last year against five visiting researchers accused of concealing ties with the Chinese military has raised questions about the department’s efforts to combat threats to China’s national security.
The U.S. Department of Commerce filed a motion on Thursday and Friday to dismiss the visa fraud and other allegations made against researchers last summer because the Biden administration is working hard to get Beijing to crack down on its cyber attacks and severe repression in Hong Kong and the remote western Xinjiang region. Responsible. The dismissal also occurred when Wendy R. Sherman, the No. 2 official of the State Council, will meet with Chinese officials in Tianjin, China, in the next few days.
What went wrong?
On Friday, the Federal Court approved the Department of Justice’s motion to dismiss Ms. Tang’s case. A few weeks ago, a judge concluded that the FBI did not inform her that she had the right not to incriminate herself, and rejected the Department of Justice’s false accusation. The allegations stated.
An analysis report released this year by the FBI stated that it was unable to show that there was a clear connection between the person who confused the relationship with China (she and the four other defendants were accused of doing so) and the person who illegally transmitted information to China, which made the case. Becomes complicated. nation.
A senior official of the Ministry of Justice said that the analysis prompted defense lawyers to raise issues that the Ministry of Justice could not resolve before Ms. Tang’s trial began.
Aksios There are more:
An FBI agent admitted that he unfoundedly targeted a Chinese-Canadian researcher in the economic espionage investigation, which prompted calls for the Federal to investigate the conduct of the Justice Department under the initiative of China.
…Quickly catch up: Last week, FBI agent Kujtim Sadiku stated that when he met Hu’s boss at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, he used a Google-translated web page to imply that Hu Anming was in contact with the Chinese military.
- Hu was fired as a result, Knoxville News Sentinel Report.
- When asked whether Hu was really affiliated with a Chinese defense company, Sadikku said: “According to the summary translation [shared with UTK] And my main points in the outline, no,” court records show.
The government has requested that the remaining three cases be dismissed, but the judge has not yet made a ruling.
How can “law enforcement” agencies manage to arrest someone and charge them with felony, instead of milanizing them? Did the agents involved miss the day at the FBI Academy? How do the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI accuse someone of a crime without any evidence and obtain an indictment? Is the output of Google Translate considered sufficient evidence to accuse someone of a crime?
This doesn’t make sense at all. I don’t even believe that the FBI is so stupid and corrupt…well, maybe I believe it, but I also believe that they are more cunning than this story suggests. To me, this smells like deliberately blowing up the prosecution of these cases and poisoning the well, so that future prosecutions will become more difficult. I’m sure that all of this has nothing to do with Hunter Biden’s relationship with China and a lot of compromise material (I guess all the smart kids in The New York Times must learn how to say “kompromat” in Mandarin). It is in the hands of Chinese intelligence agencies.
The corrupt FBI is busy hunting down MAGA’s grandmother and monitoring Tucker, and has no time to investigate communist Chinese spies. https://t.co/Cte9n4ocsQ
