China steals billions worth of U.S. intellectually property and maintains a "massive spy ring" in U.S. institutions, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Sunday.
Comer argued during an appearance on ABC's "This Week" that the problem of Chinese surveillance was "a lot bigger" than spy balloons floating over the country. Comer bashed President Biden for allowing China's craft to cross the continental U.S., but said the failure of the Biden administration to combat intellectual property theft was the true issue.
"You know, China continues to steal our intellectual property. They continue to steal our patents. They manipulate their currency. We believe they have a big footprint in academia with a massive spy ring within our research universities where they continue to steal our hard-earned research and development," Comer said.
"So China is a problem, and this administration thus far hasn't set a very good example of standing up to China. I think that, you know, shooting the balloon down in the Atlantic once it flew over all the military bases, including my own Fort Campbell, Kentucky, it's very disturbing," he added.
The U.S. has shot down three aircraft over in U.S. and Canadian airspace over the past week. The first was the Chinese balloon off the coast of South Carolina, while the second and third were shot down over Alaska and Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau approved the strike on the third craft. Only the first balloon has been publicly connected with China.
"I'm glad this administration's taken it more seriously with respect to the balloons. But we've got a whole lot bigger problem with China than the spy balloons. I mean, this is a problem. Their military continues to grow and expand," Comer said Sunday.

Duh. Every Chinese national in the US is a potential spy. The CCP threatens to kill their family back home, so they do whatever they’re told.
Totally agree.
How much of the government is on the Chinese pay roll?
How many have congressional ID badges?
Meanwhile, Deep State goes after James O’Keefe.
Why bribe when you can blackmail?
We have some real smart experts in Washington. How they figured this one out I have no idea.
Kick every Chinese National out of America.
From 2019...
US intelligence warns China is using student spies to steal secrets
https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/01/politics/us-intelligence-chinese-student-espionage/index.html
Beijing is leaning on expatriate Chinese scientists, businesspeople and students –...roughly 350,000 from China who study in the US every year – to gain access to anything and everything at American universities and companies that’s of interest to Beijing, according to current and former US intelligence officials, lawmakers and several experts.
Duh, every rich Chinese citizen flies his wife over to the US so he can shovel profits into a trust fund for his American anchor baby child and avoid Chinese taxes and when the time comes, immigrate as a family member here.
And NO ONE is doing a darn thing about it!!!
Every Chinese national in the USA is a potential spy for China as nearly all have family in China who are held hostage by the CCP for the “good behaviour” of their relatives in America. All receive “counseling” before they come and after they are here.
Biden/Obozo White House and the Dems were paid off for that privilege.
They do both.
Joe and Hunter Biden are their top spies.
One of the biggest spy rings is at the universities. Chinese students spend their time reading publications so they can copy the technological information from the publicans and they send that to China for their engineers to figure it out.
~ old Silicon Valley saying...
It’s been going on since at least 1995 and chinagate
