Of course they are. They go where the resources are and where they can get in and buy up and/or tie up said resources.

Listening to the LameStreamMedia you would know that America has only TWO enemies - Russia and the TEA Party.

Exactly - this is foreign intelligence/secret squirrel/geopolitics sort of stuff - way outside of the FBI’s defined area of concern. Looks like they’re continuing to make trouble for Trump.

“The director of the FBI says the whole of Chinese society is a threat to the US — and that Americans must step up to defend themselves”

How about the half of American society which he seems unwilling to deal with?

If that is true we cannot afford Chinese immigration and every Chinese who is not a US citizen living in America must be vetted. Are we willing to do that?

This sounds like the World War II “yellow peril” stuff.

How many Japanese spies did they actually find?

Paranoia is good for intelligence agency budgets, so they peddle it...

That really sounds like an overly grand conspiracy. Muslims give us much worse trouble. Yes, the Confucian Centers are a concern if the Red government of China is governing what they present. I think Confucius himself would have some choice words for Marx and Mao and they wouldn’t be complimentary.

“Wait a goll darn minute — I thought Russia was our enemy!!”

Russia and China are strawmen created by democrats to take the focus off of them.
