How China Has Infiltrated the U.S.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, in a recent opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, said that "The People's Republic of China poses the greatest threat to America today, and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom world-wide since World War II." In a recent interview with Newsmax, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the Chinese Communist Party "The greatest threat to security of the American people and indeed the free world." Republicans in the House Committee on Oversight and Reform have sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray asking him to investigate China's "Use of spies or covert agents to infiltrate America's most sacred educational and governmental institutions."

People in China are even gloating about how much they have infiltrated our ruling class.

In November, a naturalized Chinese national and former Raytheon engineer was sentenced to 38 months in prison for exporting defense-related technology to China.

From 2006 through 2019, China had provided nearly $160 million to directly fund Confucius Institutes.

Often touted as benign cultural exchange, the Hoover Institution asserts that the sister city program promotes an "Exchange" that is "a practical political tool by Beijing, and all of China's 'exchange' organizations have been assigned political missions." One elementary school included a program where fourth graders were "Pen pals" with CCP leader and China President Xi Jinping.

Another form of CCP infiltration is the "Illegal ties to China in American higher education and government research," of which the National Associates of Scholars counted 39 cases of since 2010.

Proponents of the bill point to the NDAA's $2.2 billion for a "Pacific Deterrence Initiative" meant to counter China's military, and Eric Sayers, a former Republican staffer on the Senate Armed Services Committee, now with the American Enterprise Institute, believes that "This is the most important and substantive NDAA on China in two decades." But noticeably absent from the NDAA, now passed by the House and Senate, is a prohibition of federal agencies from purchasing Chinese drones.
