With America's Eyes on Ukraine, Biden Made Biggest Concession to China Yet

With America's eyes fixed on Ukraine, the Biden administration just gave Communist China its greatest gift yet.

In a little-noticed February 23 university speech, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division announced the department would be terminating its preeminent counter-espionage program, the China Initiative. This comes as the Biden DOJ is ramping up its pursuit of Americans on the basis of purported "domestic terror" threats it has never explicitly defined or substantiated.

The initiative was more than justified given China's penetration of America's schools, research centers and businesses. As FBI Director Christopher Wray recognized just a few weeks ago in a speech on the domestic threat posed by Communist China:"When we tally up what we see in our investigations—over 2,000 of which are focused on the Chinese government trying to steal our information or technology—there is just no country that presents a broader threat to our ideas, our innovation and our economic security than China."

The termination of the China Initiative is all the more outrageous given the politically correct rationale behind it. The Biden DOJ, in its own telling, did not drop the initiative because it was ineffective. Rather, it did so because progressive activists cried racism, and the department apparently lacked the will to weather the criticism, let alone rebut it, apparently prioritizing optics over national security.

Any info about these folks?

China is our US’s major rival. China has been stealing secrets, defense information, manufacturing secrets and intellectual property from American companies doing business with China. All in order to break our economy and to defeat us should it go to war with us.

Trump started the counter-espionage China Initiative to try to stop China. Now Biden has dumped that because he thinks a few truck drivers driving to D.C. to protest are more scary than Red China.

giving our miltech to the chinese started with the clintons.

search for #chinagate and the #coxcongressionalreport for info

the clinton admin forced lab employees to allow chinese scientists thru the name access doors.

they didn’t do it for sightseeing. and yes, they got bags of swag (think hard drives)

walmart was the mechanism thru which they gathered funds siphoned from the US and upgraded their manufacturing infrastructure to be the best in the world, while ours was mothballed.

this was a plan a long time in the making
