FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday reiterated a commonly held view among US intelligence officials that China is seeking to become a global superpower through unconventional means — but he framed it as both a governmental and a societal threat to the US.

Speaking before the Senate Intelligence Committee alongside the heads of other US intelligence agencies, Wray said that to undermine the US's military, economic, cultural, and informational power across the globe, China was using methods relying on more than just its state institutions.

We are a war with Eastasia. We have always been at war with Eastasia. Anyone denies this is an agent of Putin, sorry, Goldstein.

“The FBI were given a counterintelligence portfolio some time back.”

Yeah, they did such a smashing job with the 9/11 Kamikaze pilots.

It looks like an institutional distraction on their part. Like I should look askance at the Chinese folks who run the buffet to which I am going to go in a few minutes. Those folks aren’t trouble. They’re practicing capitalism here in the USA and following US rules. I have yet to eat a single bad thing there in months. They are very courteous. What’s not to like.

Now the quest of mainland China to grab all the world trade they can, at the cost of turning their own rivers and air into poison, is something we ought to care about. Japan didn’t do that; Japan chose quality of life over being the king of the world even though they could have done that. But this is a foreign policy matter.

The FBI sphynx is now passing out bargaining chips.

Confucius Centers should be banned, and so should all Chinese goods. Take away MFN.

Can we establish relations with Taiwna?

So you think Trump is a stupid fool who is easily duped, with bad judgement on top of it.

That’s interesting. Supposedly my county is deciding to dis-allow mj growing on RR-5 (rural residential) properties. I’m going to make some calls soon. Of course, 95% is all illegal anyway.

I spent years in HI and the Chinese had all kinds of illicit and illegal stuff going on.
