It is too bad the FBI got distracted from their primary mission—infiltrating and hunting down the real enemy...white nationalist extremist insurrectionist conspiracy theorists.

It’s rather scary. They will soon have economic and military power on par with or exceeding the US. They have great technology, and a populace with a mean IQ of 106. Meantime, we seem to be interested in bringing in a population with a mean IQ of about 90. What could go wrong?

Time for the entire Congress to step up & ban all Chinese purchases of USA land/property.

Opens the door to too much “MISCHIEF”.

Interesting. The farmland bought by China this month overlooking a US drone aerodrome was found to have a cell tower on it with the same Huawei equipment on it ...

The kickback must not have been high enough. The price for doing ones patriotic duty has gone up in recent years.

I was supposed to supply the logs for this garden. Wonder what they would have put in the logs?

I remember Trump warning us about Hauwei, they called him racist.

“ They noted that the pagoda had been planned for one of the highest points in Washington, D.C., just two miles from the Capitol, putting it in a prime position for espionage activities.”

It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Why did anyone approve it to begin with.

The person who approved it got the customary 2%, but the Big Guy is really pissed that the Chinese balked at his normal 10%.

The average is of 106? While that’s around average, I’d bet $ it only factors in a select part of the population, not the whole population.

This was killed under TRUMP. Under biden, this would have happened without any delays. We will not survive a full Biden term. Beware and prepare.

The plan was to transform a 12-acre field in the arboretum with temples and pavilions and native Chinese shrubbery.

Pox on the spying! Also: invasive plant species from China have been wrecking our native forests and lawns. Kudzu, stiltgrass, etc.

“wanted to ship in the materials to build the pagoda using diplomatic pouches”


Either very sloppy writing or those pouches are HUGE.

Too late...
We are so screwed...

Our intelligence (???) community is finally getting wind of something most Americans have known for many decades...

I guess spying is more fun than just asking and getting what you want/need.
