There are probably more Chinese spies in California than any other state!
The FBI should shut down the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, then.
The Chinese view their government as an emergent expression of their own beliefs and values....Their Gov’t is not a threatening separate entity from its citizens that they feel the need to be protected from, but a conduit through which the public can enact ideas and change for the betterment of their “collective” society.
Some think this is why the US deems their population a threat:...that we cannot match their capability if our gov’t and citizenry are eternally at each other’s throats.
The FBI is a greater threat to this country than the Chinese, IMO.
I work at a major research university in a department that actively looks for research sponsors, and it’s an open joke about the Chinese officers. Pretty much everybody presumes that they receive some kind of kick back from the home office. About a quarter of our fees paid from worldwide companies are from China.
Easy fix, 20 YEAR IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM...
There are upscale housing communities where I live with NOTHING BUT CHINESE and probably MOSTLY Chinese nationals who are allowed to BUY PROPERTY HERE OF COURSE (ANOTHER BIG MISTAKE BY AMERICA).
And what percentage of employees here (especially in the defense and aerospace industries) who are Chinese and also ACTIVELY SPYING FOR THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT?
No China, too close to the Clintons.
Chinese spies. Check.
Russian hacking. Check.
Macedonian hackers. Check.
Cover for Hillary. Check.
(not all of the FBI, but some....)
US foreign policy and trade policies (and immigration policies) that have led to the enrichment and empowerment of China will prove to be one of the worst mistakes in our history. And few will admit it until it will probably be too late.
“The problem is exacerbated by the “naivete” of U.S. academics who don’t recognize the intelligence collectors among them”.
Most academics today would/do gladly give them anything.
Those FBI guys, 25 years later, they catch right on to these things. Very snappy.
Nice of our government to finally recognize the threat - considering that it’s been going on for DECADES.
Distraction.
My relative in military intel attended the UT Austin graduation and
Freaked out about the number of potential spies at the University .
“not just a whole-of-government threat but a whole-of-society threat on their end and I think it’s going to take a whole of-society response by us.”
Oh my, all of society needs to mobilize against an external enemy again. Why does this seem familiar? Oh wait...because this is the non-stop prattle of every despot on earth.
The Clintons moved technology sales from the defense department to state because the DOD kept refusing to approve the deals.
“The use of academic spies and education programs that U.S. officials regard as part of a plan to influence American public opinion “
Meanwhile the USA Government removed prohibitions on directing propaganda at American citizens, cooperated with youtube and FB, and twitter, and the MSM, and sprays us with a veritable firehose of liquid bullshit like we were an Iowa farm field.
DC and CIA complaining someone is trying to influence US opinion. How do they not burst into flames of hypocrisy right on the spot?
...” naiveté” of U.S academics ...
Who knew ?
How could this happen ?
There are no existential threats; right, egghead IDIOTS ?
