China has seeded the West with thousands of agents pushing propaganda, engaging in espionage, fomenting protests, and silencing domestic dissent.
In 2023, the FBI arrested two Chinese-Americans, Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping, for operating a Chinese police station in Manhattan. Chen pleaded guilty and faces up to five years in prison for acting as a Chinese agent, while Lu, who has connections to Chinese authorities, pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. He faces 20 years for obstruction of justice.
According to the Department of Justice (DoJ), the police station was established to monitor and intimidate Chinese dissidents in the U.S. What is concerning, however, is that this is not an isolated case of serious infiltration. Nor is such activity limited to the U.S. alone. Safeguard Defenders, a Madrid-based NGO, has identified 102 Chinese police stations in 53 countries.
The audacity of operating police stations in other countries highlights how far China is willing to go to silence critics as it seeks global dominance in economic, military, and cultural fields. This ability was not built overnight. Its foundation was laid by Mao Zedong himself with the creation of the United Front Work Department (United Front), one of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) “three magic weapons,” alongside armed struggle and party building. The front reports directly to the CCP’s central committee.
According to Cheryl Yu, a China expert and fellow of the Jamestown Foundation, Mao described the United Front’s work as “unifying our real friends to attack our real enemies.” Deng Xiaoping expanded that to a more aggressive approach: “unifying those who can be unified, neutralizing those who can be neutralized, and dividing those in the enemy camp who can be divided.” Current CCP supreme leader Xi Jinping has used it for the “Great Rejuvenation” of China.

What ever happened to all of those military age Chinese men that crossed the border under Let’s-Go-Brandon?
In 2023, the FBI arrested two Chinese-Americans, Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping, for operating a Chinese police station in Manhattan. Chen pleaded guilty and faces up to five years in prison for acting as a Chinese agent, while Lu, who has connections to Chinese authorities, pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

Yet China gets the Trump trade deals while Russia gets the tariffs.
Many to blame but I focus on a feckless republican party that is not calling out the many serious threats we face.
Including the treason of the democrat party.
22,000 foreign students in Ohio alone tells you everything.
The governor DeWine’O, what a traitor.
17 million applied for asylum during Traitor Biden’s reign...
Millions of acres of farmland owned by foreign countries...
AND ! There should be no way a foreign country can own property in the USA.
When I read the headline my first thought was China's magic weapon was lying.
Yay!
Someone else who gets it.
Everything out of China is either poison or a lie.
We could expropriate the foreign- owned properties here. Whoever screams the loudest against that would be exposed as paid-off traitors.
Xi Jinping has used it for the “Great Rejuvenation”
He has help on his side Russia and Mexico play a part in the undermining of America.
