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.

On Harry Truman——
It seems the more I learn about him the less I like him.
MacArthur being held back, etc.
Okay, so why doesn’t the Executive branch ban all immigration from the PROC immediately and deny all student and travel visas until the Red Chinese can guarantee they are not sending us spies ???
No wonder so many meds have worse side effects than the diseases/disorders themselves.
Their record on pet food/treats and baby formula is bad enough.
I’m in Canada so I am not sure where our medicines are manufactured but guess I should find out.
That is a hard one. I use to hate Truman for holding back MacArthur, but then again we are fighting the military warmongers today from pushing the USA into costly wars, so.....
Still we could have settled the China “problem” way back.
