The Chinese government seems to be everywhere and anywhere in the U.S.
Confucius Institutes and classrooms undermining academics - with President Biden’s help, Chinese secret police stations inside major U.S. cities to stalk their own citizens, a Chinese spy balloon that was allowed to just fly over the whole country unfettered, top elected officials shutting down any inquiry into the lab-leak origin of COVID-19.
Then there’s the Penn Biden Center think tank raking in almost $55 million from China since 2014 and President Biden’s son receiving millions from companies tied to the Chinese Communist government.
China has been playing wargames in the Pacific, has its eyes fixed on Taiwan, and a Chinese warship literally almost rammed a United States destroyer.
Meanwhile, Sec. of State Blinken nods and smiles, while President seems to be asleep at the wheel.
Now we have China planning to put troops at a military/spy installation just 100 miles off our coast in Cuba, and there are reports of Chinese spies pretending to be tourists to infiltrate U.S. bases in Alaska.
Additionally, a Chinese intelligence agency quietly operates “service centers” in seven American cities - including one in Charlotte, North Carolina. Apparently, all of these centers have had contact with Beijing’s national police authority, according to a report by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Another disturbing trend: The U.S. border patrol has reported a large spike in the number of Chinese nationals, mainly military-aged Chinese males, crossing the U.S. southern border with Mexico.
Between October 2022 and April of this year, Border Patrol data shows 9,854 Chinese migrants encountered at the southern border; a roughly 393% spike when compared to all of fiscal year 2022. But that’s not all. The vast majority of those migrants, a total of 8,304, were single adults and mostly male.
A FOX news reporter named Griff Jenkins encountered some Chinese nationals crossing illegally and filmed it. What struck me as odd was that unlike migrants we usually see that are carrying all their belongings and looking tired, sweaty, and often disheveled, this batch of Chinese nationals was well-dressed and clean and had no bags with them whatsoever.
Earlier this month, Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) announced the initial findings of an investigation into the dereliction of duty by Secretary for Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. During that announcement, Green said many of the military-aged Chinese males crossing the U.S. southern border have "known ties" to the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and People's Liberation Army (PLA).
More To The Story
Has anyone else thought to themselves lately that China has been conducting a slow-motion invasion of the United States?
Or maybe thought, “Hey, I’ve seen this movie before?”
You would have seen that movie before if Hollywood hadn’t wanted China’s cash.
The 2012 "Red Dawn" is a remake of the cult classic film of the same name that came out in 1984. The plot of the original film is an invasion of the United States by a coalition of Russians and Cubans. In the 1984 version, China and the U.K. backed the U.S. militarily.
In the remake, North Korea is the invader, however, China was supposed to be the invading force. The studio producing the film, MGM, switched enemies in "an effort to give the film greater box office appeal in China," according to a 2011 report by the L.A. Times.
China typically has used hackers to go after U.S. infrastructure.
However, given we’ve caught Chinese spies trying to infiltrate military installations in Alaska, is it a stretch to wonder if China had ties to the attacks on energy substations in the past few years?
China went after U.S. pipelines just a few years ago in 2021 when state-sponsored Chinese hackers breached dozens of pipeline companies.
Communist China has been identified as conducting recent cyber attacks on the U.S. Per a May 2023 report by Reuters, Chinese hackers are spying on critical infrastructure in the United States, but also the U.S. territory of Guam, which includes key U.S. military bases.
The report cites the hacking group known as "Volt Typhoon," believed to have been operating since 2021.
Having said all of that, the proliferation of Chinese government activities on American soil coupled with the uptick in Chinese nationals coming over the southern border, maybe this is becoming more of a “hands-on” situation.
Maybe we should all start practicing yelling, “Wolverines!”
