China is using a whole-of-society approach to steal its way to become a military power, and the U.S. government needs to better defend against such an espionage campaign, said a retired CIA officer.
“U.S. security officials estimate that the Chinese steal between $300 billion and $600 billion a year in U.S. intellectual property, research and development, information and technology,” David Sauer told The Epoch Times’ sister media NTD in an interview on Oct 29.
The United States has not been the only target. Sauer said China’s espionage campaign has also targeted the European Union, South Korea, and Japan, and the campaign began around 2000 to 2001.
“They’re [China] stealing that information and then integrating into their economy and their state-owned enterprises, [and] into their military. Some of their military systems look like a carbon copy of U.S. military systems,” he added.
“So it really saves them [China] a lot of time, sweat, and tears in trying to develop that technology.”

China is now acting very much like the World Bank. Loan sharking to take over assets.
China is aging out so fast that it might be using more adult diapers than baby ones by 2025

So it turns out that starving tens of millions of people, brutally aborting and sterilizing hundreds of millions of babies and women, and ruling a society through fear has some pretty long-lasting effects.
Somebody is finally standing up to China, and I never thought it would be the Women's Tennis Association

How's this for a bold statement?
"With the full support of the WTA Board of Directors, I am announcing the immediate suspension of all WTA tournaments in China, including Hong Kong." - Steve Simon, WTA Chairman & CEO

The State Department said it’s standing with the Women’s Tennis Association in taking on Beijing over Peng Shuai, China’s top tennis player who disappeared for weeks after she publicly denounced a retired senior Chinese official for sexually assaulting her.
There is no easy answer for American and global companies. They either remain committed to China or are trapped by decades of investment and building manufacturing facilities there. Nearly every major US company is dependent on Chinese suppliers for some part of their production. In July of this year, the CEO of Nike stated that his company, which sold just under $2 billion in the PRC in the fourth quarter of 2020, is “a brand of China and for China.” For its part, Apple assembles almost all its products in China, and has been reported as paying $275 billion to Beijing to maintain its position in what has become its second-largest market.

Meanwhile in China the CCP parades Covid rule breakers to humiliate them.
The scary thing is I wouldn’t be surprised if we see that tactic deployed in “democratic “ cities around the world soon too.
History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme. In the 1980s, the gravest threat to America’s freedoms came from the Soviet Union, which President Ronald Reagan called the Evil Empire. That rhymes with today’s equally serious threat from Communist China, the New Evil Empire.
Xi Jinping rules China with absolute power, like an emperor. He has complete control over China’s sole political party, the CCP, the government, the economy, the military, the police, the judiciary, and the media. Even over religion: Christian churches must display Xi quotes instead of the Ten Commandments.
The CCP has an abhorrent domestic policy rooted in the belief that people’s lives are subordinate to state interests — after all, it still venerates Mao and Stalin, dictators who killed millions of people. Its disregard for human life is apparent in its genocide against the Uyghurs and its coverup of the Covid pandemic’s origin.
Chinese citizens live in an Orwellian techno-surveillance state with police cameras everywhere and complete government censorship of the internet. They must use their mobile phones to study and take exams on the thought of Xi Jinping. They have to follow CCP rules to maintain their social credit scores so that they can be allowed to travel by plane or own pets. Dissidents are persecuted, imprisoned, or killed.

China’s True COVID-19 Death Toll 366 Times Higher Than Official Figure, Analyst Says
In constantly manufactured crisis sometimes I think our government is no different from Chyna
Olympic athletes have been "warned against speaking up" against Communist China while at the Beijing games 😬
Journalists covering the Winter Olympics next month say they'll do their work in Beijing on brand-new cellphones and laptops. When the games are over, they'll simply leave them behind or throw them away.
The reason: Reporters are concerned that any devices they use there could become infected with tracking software, enabling Chinese authorities to spy on their contents. Hence, the use of "burner" phones and computers.
The Chinese regime’s economic coercion of Australia has been a “wake-up call” to other countries, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said.
China had been Australia’s top trading partner. But after Australia called for an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19 in April 2020, the Communist regime retaliated by adopting a series of measures against Australian exporters, including arbitrary border testing and inspections, the imposition of tariffs, and unwarranted delays in listing export establishments and issuing import licences.
Truss, on a visit to Australia for talks on defence and security ties, discussed the threat posed by the Chinese regime in a speech at the Lowy Institute in Sydney on Jan. 21.
She said: “The situation with Australia—the economic coercion we saw—was one of the wake-up calls as to exactly what China was doing and the way it was using its economic might to try to exert control over other countries.”

China’s Huawei Pays Tony Podesta $1 Million for White House Lobbying
Canadian filmmaker Leon Lee presents a story of two couples of Chinese college students, who risked their lives to reveal the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) appalling persecution of peaceful Falun Gong adherents. With the help of a Chicago journalist, they successfully unearth the CCP’s dehumanizing abuses to the international community.
Falun Gong is a spiritual practice that features three core tenets of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, along with five slow-moving exercises. After it was made public in 1992, its following in China grew to 70 million to 100 million people by 1999. Then, the CCP, deeming the practice’s popularity a threat, designated the group as illegal and launched a nationwide campaign to eradicate it.
The production is based on actual events in connection with practitioner Wang Weiyu, a gifted graduate of China’s Tsinghua University. Wang experienced torture, including hours of electrocution by electric baton, during eight and half years’ imprisonment in Beijing for refusing to give up his belief in Falun Gong. In 2013, he fled communist China and joined his family in the United States.
Hong Kong tells British activist group to shut down their website
Hong Kong’s government has ordered the UK-based Hong Kong Watch to shut down its website for “endangering national security.” The move comes after the government blocked the website within the territory.
Hong Kong’s internet is not as heavily censored as China's, meaning residents of the island can still access websites that are critical of China.
However, Beijing imposed a so-called “national security law” in mid-2020 that allows the government to quash dissent and criticism.
Established in 2017 by Benedict Rogers, Hong Kong Watch monitors the human rights situation in Hong Kong.
Rogers said: “By threatening a UK-based NGO with financial penalties and jail for merely reporting on the human rights situation in Hong Kong, this letter exemplifies why Hong Kong’s national security law is so dangerous.
“We will not be silenced by an authoritarian security apparatus which, through a mixture of senseless brutality and ineptitude, has triggered rapid mass migration out of the city and shut down civil society.”
An email from the government, posted on Hong Kong’s Watch website, states that the group has been accused of “colluding with foreign forces to endanger national security,” an offense that carries a maximum penalty of a life sentence.
The email said that after investigations, Hong Kong Watch was found to be involved in “lobbying foreign countries to impose sanctions or blockade” against Hong Kong and China.
On the same day the security bureau sent the email, March 10, Hong Kong’s police chief sent the group a notice demanding the removal of its website.
China: Thousands of residents of more than 100 buildings in Shenzhen are taken to COVID isolation camps.
Meanwhile in Shanghai...
You want to see a graphic example of what “THEY” want to do to us?
Keep in mind, this is ACTUALLY HAPPENING, RIGHT NOW, TO MILLIONS OF CITIZENS. HUMAN PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED LIKE THIS BY OTHER HUMAN PEOPLE.

As seen on Weibo: Shanghai residents go to their balconies to sing & protest lack of supplies. A drone appears: “Please comply w covid restrictions. Control your soul’s desire for freedom. Do not open the window or sing.”

Now traveling about the country destroying and denigrating our traditions and heritage sounds very familiar!
Also very familiar in America now!
Inflation, official corruption, lack of a free press? All very familiar in America now!
