Citizens of China, Iran, and Russia made close to 30,000 trips to sensitive American research facilities during the Biden administration, new data show.
Between Sept. 1, 2021, and Aug. 31, 2024, 28,028 Chinese nationals, 304 Iranians, and 1,608 Russians visited laboratories run by the Department of Energy, according to the office of Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa).
“While Iran’s regime chanted ‘Death to America,’ the Biden administration rolled out the red carpet for Iranian foreign nationals to enter our National Labs,” Ernst told The Post.
“They also gave entry to thousands of Chinese nationals and hundreds of Russians, who could then access and potentially steal American research.”
The length of the visits ranged from hours to months, with remote access provided in some cases, according to the Department of Energy’s Foreign Access Central Tracking System (FACTS) database.
The Energy Department oversees 17 federally funded laboratories across America.
Under the Unclassified Foreign National Access Program, foreigners from adversarial countries are subject to counterintelligence assessments.
“This process includes, at a minimum, the completion of intelligence indices checks, with additional local counterintelligence vetting conducted when dictated by factors such as the facility being visited, the duration of the visit, and the science and technology involved,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright informed Ernst in a letter.
“Due to Iran’s status as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, all Iranian citizens undergo enhanced counterintelligence review prior to access approval as required by the DOE order.”

The Biden administration was in actuality a cabal of traitors to the United States of America.
And don’t forget the “weather baroon”.
The Democrats really hate America!

We brought in around 5 million citizens from India/Pakistan in the last few years to operate our computer systems in the USA. There appears to be a very effective gaslighting in the media about this. American citizen techies appear to be the modern equivalent of buggy whip manufacturers.
What possibly could be the reason for this except to bring down America or what the left likes to call it, “Level the Playing Field”.

Scientist fired from Winnipeg disease lab intentionally worked to benefit China: CSIS report
One of the scientists who was fired from Canada's top infectious disease laboratory "intentionally" shared scientific information with China — potentially putting people's health in jeopardy — says an assessment by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
The intelligence assessment was released late Wednesday afternoon by the federal government, along with hundreds of other documents about the mysterious dismissal of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng.
The scientists and their students worked in the Level 4 virology facility at the Winnipeg-based National Microbiology Lab (NML), which is equipped to deal with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases
Thank god they fired them... I guess the only question is... Why are they not in a prison cell?
I don’t think we can even imagine how much our nation’s security has been compromised in just 4 disastrous years under Sleepy Joe.

It’s not Sleepy Joe, it’s the entire Democratic Party, Joe had no idea what he was doing.

So, then...why is this news?
Incompetence check? /s
Treason.
Clinton gave access to our national labs and eliminated the use of badges which effectively gave Chinese CCP operatives free run of our national labs
It is a Democrat thing. Obama was the worst
Just like allowing Yamamoto to attend Harvard.
These days, letting the Chinese CCP into Harvard would almost rise to the level of asymmetric warfare against China
Well, in Japan’s defense, in 1919 during the Taishō era, they were aspiring to more democratic ideals, despite their beef with China. It was a mixed bag.
The turning point was the 1924 Immigration Act, which limited Asians entering the country. The Japanese saw it as an insult, and US-Japan relations deteriorated from that point.
Treason is how the Democrat party makes money. Ask Hillary and her home server.
