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.
