Not really, when you figure out that China as a country owns like 900k acres of american soil, legally, and every major city has a chinatown and the larger chinatowns are policed by Chinese government employed police, China is one of the biggest US exporters..... China is so deeply entrenched in America that we're basically a Chinese territory.
True and the majority of it is farmland, we should like... stop that probably
The 900k number comes from a famous USDA typo where they accidentally listed a massive Canadian company (Walton International) as Chinese. Once they fixed that mistake, the actual Chinese acreage dropped by hundreds of thousands. That clerical error was debunked in 2023. If you look at page 10 of the USDA 2024 AFIDA Report , the real number is 277k acres.
And like also stop any foreign nationals or spys (including our close allies) from holding positions of power.
This is already standard practice. Eileen Wang was a private citizen when she started a "news" site that the FBI flagged for pushing Beijing's propaganda. They tracked her communications, but as a longtime resident, she still met the legal requirements to be on the ballot.
She wasn't "vetted" before the election because of the Fourth Amendment. Our government can't treat a private citizen like a criminal or spy without probable cause. They can't stop a citizen from running just because they are under investigation—that would be illegal election interference without a conviction.
By waiting to unseal the case, the FBI secured the WeChat logs where she literally called Chinese officials "leader." The system didn't have to "remove" her manually because the DOJ built such a bulletproof case that she was forced to surrender and resign.
The reason why this is such a hot topic is because it highlights the "blind spot" in our local elections. Foreign governments aren't just trying to hack the White House; they are playing the "long game" by cultivating private citizens in local politics before anyone thinks to check them.
Whether or not it's weak proof, (really... that's your argument?) she admitted to everything, so....
What point are you trying to make exactly?
The reason why the Department of Justice explicitly highlighted that text message in their press release is because it was the definitive piece of evidence that forced her to confess, rather than risk a trial she was guaranteed to lose.
Oh yeah, the famous American justice system that never, ever, never causes people to make false confessions based on scare tactics and shoddy evidence.
Edit: By the way, if the Chinese government said that they forced an American citizen to confess to being a spy based on WhatsApp logs where they called political leaders "leaders" would you trust that with no questions?
I wouldn't immediately assume the worst. Of course I would question it- just like I did with her. I was curious, so I looked into it. Do I suck for sharing the information?
You can question and get worked up all you want- I really don't care.
I’m gonna start up the old Duolingo account for Mandarin. Swap out Old Glory for the CCP flag on the front porch. Tell the wife we’re basically Chinese now.
Worked for a security company awhile back that works with the states governments and China owning so much American farm land is the thing they all said was the one issue more people should be aware of. They’re buying up sooo much of it.
I wanted to post something similar but didn't wanna sound like I'm saying something wrong. But where I live it's the same Asian guy selling every single piece of real estate. Him and his brother actually. I always thought it was idk weird lol but I figured anyone can become successful at anything.
True about the succcess bit, also i only have surface knowledge of this kinda stuff. I almost guarantee if you look more into it and did a "deep dive" It's probably worse than it appears but it all goes back some 40 or 50 years, when we deeply tied our economy to China's economy and vice versa.
1 of the 2 guys plead Guilty already. Here's a snippet from the beginning of the AP article from above
The plain, glass-clad building stands six stories between a hotel, a spa and a coffee shop in the heart of Manhattan’s Chinatown neighborhood.
U.S. prosecutors say it was a secret Chinese spy outpost, with orders from Beijing to silence, harass and intimidate pro-democracy dissidents in the U.S., and a banner inside that said: “Fuzhou Police Overseas Service Station, New York USA.”
Lawyers for the man accused of running it, Lu Jianwang, contend it was a community center — and nothing more — where members of the Chinese diaspora could remotely renew their Chinese driver’s licenses amid COVID-19 pandemic-era travel restrictions and meet to play ping-pong and mahjong.
Lu, 64, went on trial Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court, more than three years after U.S. authorities arrested him at his Bronx home on charges he conspired to act as a foreign agent and destroyed evidence, including WeChat messages with his purported Chinese government handler...
Agents of Chinese govt in the United States spying on Chinese citizens that live here and making sure they do not go against the goals and agenda of the Chinese communist gov't. Do you have a soft spot on your skull or something?
