OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A former San Francisco Bay Area tour operator agreed Monday to plead guilty to serving as an unregistered agent for China in exchange for a possible reduced prison sentence.

Xuehua Edward Peng agreed in court to a four-year prison term and a fine of $30,000 in a plea deal negotiated with prosecutors after they charged him with being an illegal foreign agent who delivered U.S. national security information to officials in China.

I wanted to include this, for one reason.

This quote:

"FBI Director Christopher Wray has said China poses a more serious counterintelligence threat to the U.S. than any other country, including Russia."

That is very important.

Last paragraph on the article.

I agree. I believe a lot of the chaos and craziness of the last several years from leftists, antifa, impeachment, intolerance of Christians, on and on, has been pushed and backed by communist Chins.

I believe Soros is behind leftist unrest. The Chinese at this point incapable of influence operations.
That Chinese are perfect is tech intelligence gathering due to a number of them in universities and tech companies - all de-facto loyal to China.

I had the same suspicion, but we will never know because the Senator’s driver was never named.

Totally true. We've been played and the existential threat continues. Read "The Hundred Year Marathon" by Michael Pillsbury to learn how masterfully China has played an ancient game against the "hegemon" -- us.

We used to call that a spy.

Why do you write this?

The Chinese have lots of money.

They have a philosphy of conflict that involves disinformation and corruption of influential members of opposing regimes as favored ways of winning.

They see America as the enemy which needs to be lulled, taken advantage of, weakened, and overcome.

We allow/encourage hundreds of thousands of them into our society, in our Universities.

They actively study us to determine weak points.

You have little point with Hollywood. The Chinese totally own it. Other than that I know many Chinese. They lack enough understanding of other cultures to run something like this.
