Pompeo warns governors of Chinese infiltration into US: 'It's happening in your state'
Fox News ^ | February 8, 2020 | Nick Givas

China's Communist Party has infiltrated various levels of America's infrastructure and is working to destroy the values of the United States, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a speech Saturday, while also warning state governors to be wary of China's infiltration.

“We can’t ignore China’s actions and strategic intentions," he said while addressing the National Governors Association winter meeting. "The Chinese government has been methodical in the way it's analyzed our system... it's assessed our vulnerabilities and it's decided to exploit our freedoms, to gain an advantage over us at the federal level, the state level and the local level."

“Competition with China is happening. It’s happening in your state," Pompeo added. "In fact, I'd be surprised if most of you in the audience had not been lobbied by the Chinese Communist Party directly."

He said groups loyal to communist China are operating out in the open in Virginia, Minnesota, Florida and dozens of other states all around the country. Other Chinese groups, however, practice their nefarious actions in the shadows in an attempt to exercise influence over U.S. citizens and lawmakers.

Pompeo cited a letter from a diplomat at the Chinese Consul in New York to the speaker of an unnamed state legislature, advising that U.S. officials refrain from independent interaction with Taiwan.

“You add a diplomat from China, assigned here to the United States, a representative of the Chinese Communist Party, in New York City, sending a letter urging that an American elected official shouldn’t exercise his right to freedom of speech," he explained.

The secretary said this isn't an uncommon event and that Chinese officials based in the U.S. are actively seeking to sow seeds of chaos at the state and local level -- specifically in the realm of education on college campuses and K-12 classrooms.

China has an over abundance of people.

Male to female ratio is skewed towards having men available for their 200 million man army.

Used to be called cannon fodder.

Now they are allowing their people to be infected with this beer virus.

Eventually turning 10’s of thousands of them into walking living human biological weapons.

Which they will send to areas of their enemies.

The USA being at the top of the list

Very clever of them.

The communist leaders have no respect for human life.

Yes...It’s called ‘Asymmetric Warfare’ in Stealth mode and you’re ultimately the target. For them it’s war without any rules and everything in their society is geared/wired to be used for this war, hitting us on all sides. From stealing ID’s, our infastructure, agriculture, tech. science, technology etc. etc etc.

In 1986 in their Program/Project 863 they state they’re going to lie , cheat, steal, and do whatever they have to in order to be the number #1 Global Super Power ‘at the expense of all other countries’, particularly the US and western countries.

Chinese students really have no choice if the Chinese Communist party sees them go into a field of work where they’re interested in stealing information. They will offer payment, and when this doesn’t work they think nothing of threatening their families back home.

How long do you think China's been grooming this guy? His platform breathes Government control....

"We can force corporations to pay their fair share and rewrite the rules of the economy "....Yang

Pilosophy "human-centered capitalism," advocating for a system that emphasizes metrics that measure "human well-being and fulfillment".....Yang

"Federal department to oversee social media"...Yang

"Must make universal basic income 'right of citizenship' in US"......Yang.

“China’s Communist Party has infiltrated various levels of America’s infrastructure and is working to destroy the values of the United States”

So how does this distinguish them from your average Democrat?

Hmm, actually the Chinese are being most libertarian in America, ignoring all patents and regulations, catch me if you can,.since that is how they survived under communism under the black market

So are they taking advantage of our freedom or of the suckers who follow or demand regulations?

They intnd to demoralize our society and create division.....and the Dems play along.

Like I said; the Chinese play the long game. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out they have been using the dems for 50, even 100, years as their pawns in this mental warfare.

The Chinese and other cultures understand 100, 200, even 300 years is really just a blink of an eye from the perspective of history. Europeans should understand this because their history is long and rich. America's history is barely 400 years long; practically brand new in historic time. Perhaps the digital age where we all expect instant answers and action has dulled our sense of time. Muslims living in caves know they can simply wait out the westerners. The beauty of having little to lose is also the magic key to the ultimate freedom. They know they only need to survive as a group and pass on their ideology/cult religion which I personally consider a type of brainwashing/indoctrination not unlike what's happening in our k-16 schools today.

Not that long ago American and European families passed on trades and land from generation to generation. We seem to have lost that kind of long view somewhere along the line.

The infiltrators don’t have the same manners as Americans. Their culture is different. They think they are great actors and actresses and can fit in as various American types but one can spot them, and it’s even easier if they are posing as something they’re not.

Manners are something very subtle and you have to be born to them.

80% of our meds are manufactured in China.

America now expects its best and brightest to go into high finance, move money around, or agitate in politics.

[I also read China’s long-term goal is pretty much to rule the world.]


I think everyone wants to rule the world in some fashion. Some of it is writing their names in bold in the history books. Some of it is taking the machinery of government they control out for a spin. If you acquired a Maserati, wouldn’t you want to redline it at least once?

Guys in politics are even more prone to risk-taking than even people in showbiz. Some want to put the pedal to the metal - all the time. That was what Alexander’s venture to conquer the world was all about. That was, IMO, what motivated Caesar’s campaigns, whether against the Gauls or his fellow Romans. It certainly motivated Hitler - instead of piecemeal acquisitions followed by assimilation that might continue for generations after his death, he chose to find out for himself whether Germany was up to prevailing over every major power simultaneously, in his lifetime.

In the West, every ruler went forth and expanded against every other, until the devastation left at the WWII basically forced a retrenchment. Today, they want to make everyone live by their rules. Global warming, alphabet soup promotion, etc. China, though, like every country not in the West, including Russia, wants to rule the world in the old-fashioned way. By adding provinces.


[The Chinese don’t think in terms of decades or next year like we do. They look at the long-term 100 year changes with great patience. ]

My impression is that dictatorships are very short-term oriented. In China, Xi Jinping needs to worry about both elite mutiny and popular revolt (big factors in Chinese history to a degree unmatched in the West). At the same time, Chinese rulers are every bit as ambitious as their predecessors. Making your mark meant adding provinces from the territory of neighboring kingdoms.

So Xi Jinping will eventually take the machinery of government out for a spin re incorporating neighboring lands into the empire. But only when the odds aren’t too lop-sided. Japan made its move at Pearl when its economy was 1/9 the size of its American counterpart. China’s economy is currently 1/2 to 2/3 of the US. Xi Jinping’s move is coming.

The following graphics show the evolution of Chinese boundaries to the point that it is the 3rd largest country in the world:

These boundaries weren’t created by tribal leaders singing kumbaya around a campfire.
