Pompeo warns governors of Chinese infiltration into US: 'It's happening in your state'
Fox News ^ | February 8, 2020 | Nick Givas

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.

It’s easy to see which political party’s politicians are more susceptible to temptations from Chinese lobbies against our Second Amendment. One of China’s official publications recently complained about shootings and freedoms concerning firearms here.

80% of our meds are manufactured in China.

An hour after taking the med, you're hungry again.

That's why we're all fat!

You’re not crazy.

China has the focused attention of our intelligence assets.
Not only internationally, but VERY much domestically.
They are more pernicious than the old Soviets ever were.
They are playing a VERY LONG game.
They are Hell bent on winning that game.
And We, The People — generally — are CLUELESS and apathetic.

Space Force? We’d better get cracking!

I have it on GOOD AUTHORITY that beating the United States for dominance of space is China’s CENTRAL goal, that it is NOT a “technology” goal, but a MILITARY goal.

If they succeed, the WHOLE EARTH will be at their mercy.

You are FAR, FAR MORE right to be concerned than you can possibly imagine.

I still have doubts about Pompeo. I remember when he made a statement agreeing with Clapper/Brennan/Comey about Russia. Now Pompeo has a different job. Haspel may think the same way but didn’t make a public statement.

It’s basically infiltrated our entire political class. When besides Duncan Hunter a decade back, have you heard a SINGLE congressman ever question our trade relationship with China. I haven’t heard a single one.

Yes, and it is strange to read anti-Communist rhetoric from Truman. My guess is he was just totally naïve and unaware of how many communists were in his government.

Wow! That is mind boggling and scary. Just as Americans wouldn’t willingly eat fish from China, why would consumer medicine made in China?

Yes. Very scary.

If you are taking any type of Rx med, chances are those meds are Made in China...or, at the very least, at least most components of that med are.

Scary as hell.

Why would we allow this to happen?

And The Band played on

Seriously where have all the patriots been in government? Or are there just not any other than Trump and a few of his closest?

I guess Commey and page and McCabe et al are too busy trying to subvert Trump than catch Chinese subversion

And then there were people like my father who were put on a police watch list in the 1940s. Our policeman neighbor told us this after he got to know us and realized that my father was an active anti-communist. Communists were trying to take over the Insurance Workers union in which he was a leader. The Communists got a payoff from management and succeeded in destroying the union. My father spent many hours away from home and family making this fight and was very bitter about the outcome and how the workers could let themselves be deluded by this Commie scum. This was the port of New York area and was part of Stalin’s effort to take over the east and west coast ports. Gus Hall was a major agent in the west.

And yet our President publicly encouraged the Chinese to involve themselves in our elections. What’s up with that?
