Harmful menaces are spreading from mainland China to the US. Surgical masks and Huge Pharma vaccines, nonetheless, received’t defend this nation from its infiltration. The issue doesn’t lie with bats. It lies with America’s batty pursuit of globalization in any respect prices.

Chinese language Communist Occasion brokers are utilizing our suicidal pathologies — blind worship of “variety,” naive exaltation of “cultural change” packages, and reckless give up of our schooling system — in opposition to us for financial espionage, mental property theft and world dominance. Whereas Beltway blowhards rail in opposition to overseas interference in our elections, Beijing’s hijacking of our school rooms ensues with hardly a peep of political resistance.

On Monday, the U.S. Lawyer’s Workplace in Boston introduced that the chairman of Harvard College’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Division, together with two Chinese language nationals, have been “charged in connection with aiding the People’s Republic of China.” Acclaimed Harvard chemist and nanoscientist, Dr. Charles Lieber, had served as a “strategic scientist” at Wuhan College of Know-how for the previous 9 years and is accused of mendacity about his position as a “contractual participant” of China’s notorious Thousand Talents Plan.

Final fall, after years of intel warnings, a bipartisan Senate committee blew the whistle on TTP’s systematic recruitment of an estimated 7,000 teachers who’ve agreed to “transmit the knowledge and research they achieve right here to China in change for salaries, analysis funding, lab house, and different incentives.” Lieber reportedly acquired $50,000 a month plus dwelling bills and greater than $1.5 million for a Chinese language analysis lab, all whereas absorbing $15 million in federal grants from the Nationwide Institutes of Well being and Protection Division.

It’s unknown what number of Chinese language nationals labored in both Lieber’s America-based or China-based labs. However the two Chinese language nationals charged with Lieber had been most cancers researcher Zaosong Zheng, 29, whom Harvard sponsored on a J-1 work-study change visa and Yanqing Ye, 29, whom Boston College sponsored on a J-1. Prosecutors allege Ye is a CCP member and prime navy lieutenant. Zheng is accused of trying to smuggle “21 vials of biological research” aboard a flight destined for China.

These are only a few who received caught. In 2018-2019, China despatched essentially the most worldwide college students from all over the world (369,548 out of almost 1.1 million) to review in U.S. establishments. Greater than 71,000 Chinese language college students headed to Massachusetts; 6,222 of them embedded at Harvard and 10,598 of them enrolled at Boston College. These figures don’t embrace their spouses and youngsters, who’re additionally welcomed by their very own particular visa packages. (And the nationwide safety dangers of the untold tens of 1000’s of Chinese language nationals on the H-1B tech employee visa is a complete ‘nuther story.)

China has cunningly exploited America’s alphabet soup of non permanent visa packages, that are overwhelmed by out-of-control mass migration and are operated by open borders ideologues who put the alleged financial advantages of admitting 1 million worldwide college students into the nation yearly over the nationwide safety dangers. High directors at Harvard and other prestigious universities have regularly denounced the Trump administration for growing vetting of overseas pupil visas and inconveniencing their rich clientele.

However mum’s the phrase on the treachery happening below the guise of “cultural” enrichment:

–Final July, the FBI indicted Chinese language F-1 pupil visa beneficiary Weiyun “Kelly” Huang in an alleged visa fraud scheme that allowed greater than 2,500 Chinese language overseas college students on F-1 — together with a purported spy for the Chinese language authorities — to increase their stays by claiming employment with a phony web entrance she created. The ruse allowed the scammers to reap the benefits of the uncapped Optional Practical Training program permitting F-1s to remain an additional three years to work. Ji Chaoqun, an F-1 who acquired a grasp’s diploma in electrical engineering in 2015 from an unspecified U.S. college, paid for Huang’s companies and was arrested in 2018 for alleged spying and recruitment of teachers and engineers below the route of the Folks’s Republic of China.

–In September, the FBI arrested Chinese language nationwide Zhongsan Liu in New Jersey for working a fraudulent J-1 visa racket that imported PRC operatives to workers a New York entrance group recruiting scientists, teachers and engineers to work in China. Liu focused seven American universities for the scheme, together with the University of Massachusetts Boston.

–Simply final week, the University of Missouri at Columbia introduced it was terminating its partnership with a Chinese language government-funded language and cultural program referred to as the Confucius Institute amid widespread nationwide safety issues. The Institute’s academics had been pouring into native Ok-12 faculties by the J-1 visa program unsupervised. The U.S. Government Accountability Office recognized greater than 500 “Confucius Institutes” worldwide, with 96 positioned at schools and universities in the US as of December 2018 — the overwhelming majority of them publicly funded establishments. A PRC propaganda outfit referred to as Hanban has offered funding starting from $900,000 to $1.7 million for “mannequin” Confucius Institutes.

Whereas a number of universities have closed their packages, a number of Chinese language language charter schools and full college districts, together with Ok-12 public faculties in Broward County, Florida, Houston and Seattle, function “Confucius School rooms” authorised and co-operated with the Chinese language authorities.

The place’s a nationwide public well being emergency declaration if you want one?
