SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN ASKS HOW SHE CAN SERVE RED CHINA AND HOW MUCH WILL BE IN IT FOR HER?

Silicon Valley, and the Chinese Connection to Coronavirus Infection

By James Fulford

After Feinstein was elected to the Senate in 1992, Blum continued profiting off their ties to China. A the same time, the freshman lawmaker was pitching herself as a “China hand” to colleagues, even once claiming “that in my last life maybe I was Chinese.” HARIS ALIC

FEINSTEIN HAS SPENT HER POLITICAL LIFE STALKING THE HALLS OF CONGRESS SNIFFING OUT DEALS THAT PUT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN HER POCKETS.

SHE HAS AVOIDED PROSECUTION BY VOTING AGAINST ANY ETHICS BILLS AND HER HUSBAND, RICHARD BLUM'S HANDING OUT "CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION" BRIBES TO EVERY DEMOCRAT OUT THERE!




IN THE November 2006 election, the voters demanded congressional ethics reform. And so, the newly appointed chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is now duly in charge of regulating the ethical behavior of her colleagues. But for many years, Feinstein has been beset by her own ethical conflict of interest, say congressional ethics experts.


“All in all, it was an incredible victory for the Chinese government. Feinstein has done more for Red China than other any serving U.S. politician. “ Trevor Loudon


“Our entire crony capitalist system, Democrat and Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy approaching par with third-world hell-holes.  This is the way a great country is raided by its elite.” ---- Karen McQuillan  AMERICAN THINKER.com


Senator Who Employed Chinese Spy Endorses Joe Biden for President

 

  

A high-profile U.S. senator with professional and personal ties to China — including once employing one of its spies — is backing former Vice President Joe Biden amid mounting questions over his son’s business dealings with the communist regime.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), a former chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, announced her endorsement of the former vice president on Tuesday, claiming to have witnessed Biden’s “fortitude” and leadership during their overlapping tenures in Congress.
Feinstein said in a statement:
I’ve worked closely with Vice President Biden and I’ve seen firsthand his legislative ability, his statesmanship, and most importantly his moral fortitude (NO, IT’S NOT A JOKE, BUT THEN FEINSTEIN IS THE MOST SELF-SERVING CORRUPT POL IN U.S. HISTORY). During his time in Congress and in the White House, Joe Biden has been a tireless fighter for hard working (ILLEGALS) MEXICAN families.

Farage Warns Chinese Interests Lining up for ‘Fire Sale’ of UK Businesses

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has warned that Chinese interests are lining up to take advantage of the coronavirus crisis by buying “vast swathes of our strategic and manufacturing industries”.
“What is happening right now is that Chinese companies and Chinese money are lining up for what they expect to be a ‘fire sale’ of British businesses,” Mr Farage said during a Facebook live stream on Wednesday.
Mentioning that Germany has put into law protections for German companies against foreign takeover during the coronavirus crisis, he continued: “I fear, we’re going to allow China in to buy up vast swathes of our strategic and manufacturing industries and it just can’t be allowed.
“The problem is is the same mob that sold us out to Brussels are now happy to sell out our sovereignty once again to China and this needs a much bigger, higher, level of debate.”
Last month, Chinese firm Jingye Group bought out British Steel. Former Prime Minister David Cameron and former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne allowed Chinese state-run companies to invest in British nuclear power plants.


Mr Farage said: “For some reason, many of our civil servants, politicians, and Big Business figures seem to be in love with the despicable, barbarous regime who don’t just murder thousands of their own people every year, but put hundreds of thousands in camps… where they’re being re-educated away from their faith to support the Chinese Communist Party.
“It’s not a nice regime. We know they steal intellectual property and we know they have designs to effectively become the global superpower, to take over the world in their own way.”
The Brexit Party leader’s remarks come as MPs have launched an emergency House of Commons inquiry into the possibility of Chinese companies stripping the assets of British firms caught up in the pandemic crisis, particularly the high-tech companies which are fundamental to the UK’s economy.
Led by Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee Tom Tugendhat, the inquiry would look into how the Foreign Office could take an active role in blocking Chinese asset-stripping.
The investigation was provoked by the aborted boardroom coup of UK chip designer Imagination Technologies by associates of Chinese government-backed China Reform Holdings. The move was delayed after culture secretary Oliver Dowden intervened.


With the UK and other Western nations turning to China for vaccines, masks, and ventilators, Mr Farage said last month that the coronavirus pandemic had exposed the developed world’s dependence on China in its supply chains.
“The West’s supply chains have become too dependent on China,” the Brexit Party said, adding: “To see China now exploiting a crisis that they have caused to spread their influence further and deeper into Europe should send a chill down our spines.”
This week, he warned that accepting materials from China could come at the price of allowing the Beijing-backed Huawei access to Britain’s 5G network.

CNN: China’s Visa Workers Try to Keep U.S. Jobs in Coronavirus Crash

Chinese visa workers are trying to keep their white-collar jobs in the United States amid the coronavirus epidemic and the federal freeze on H-1B visa applications.
“When Tang [Chen] was made redundant on March 13, she didn’t just lose her source of income — she lost her [H-1B] visa status. Now her former employer has decided not to proceed with her green card application, her path to permanent residency has been lost, too,” according to a CNN report April 9.
She arrived in 2014, and she has been working as a software developer at a Pennsylvania travel firm — and she does not want to go home. “She’s desperately applying to university to get a student visa that will allow her to remain in the U.S. legally,” CNN reported
CNN continued:
“I’ve never seen so many visa holders losing their jobs,” said Ying Cao, a New York-based immigration lawyer whose clients are mostly Chinese expats. “It’s worst than in 2008,” she added, when the global financial crisis caused some 2.6 million job losses.
In March, Cao received twice as many inquiries as she would in a usual month. She advises most clients to file for a change of visa status if their grace period is expiring — perhaps to a tourist, student or dependent visa — to buy themselves more time.
So far, the White House has not indicated if President Donald Trump will encourage the foreign workers to leave so that their jobs can be opened to young American graduates.
A review by Breitbart News of federal data suggests there are roughly 270,000 Chinese visa workers legally residing in the United States. That is a large number, but it is far lower than the estimated population of one million Indian visa workers.
Many American graduates tell Breitbart News that they are increasingly being shut out of starter jobs by complacent U.S. managers and by foreign ethnic nepotism in technology companies. This shift of jobs from American graduates towards foreign visa workers has helped to drop graduates’ salaries and to slow innovation in technology companies.
Chinese graduates win about 26,000 three-year H-1B visas each year, according to federal data. But not all stay the full term of their visas, so the resident population of those H-1B visas is likely 60,000.
Many other Chinese are using the Occupational Practical Training (OPT) and the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) to get work permits.
Roughly 300,000 foreign students or graduates got one-year work-permits from those two programs in 2018. Chinese students comprised almost one-third of the foreign student population of 1.6 million in 2018, so the federal data suggests that 100,000 Chinese students got OPT or CPT work permits in 2018 — sometimes aided by fraudulent job offers.
But an additional 25,843 Chinese graduates got three-year work permits via the “STEM” side of the Optional Training Program in 2018. That suggests at least 60,000 Chinese graduates are holding multi-year jobs via the STEM-OPT program in 2018.
The Department of State also says it awarded almost 11,000 L-1 visas and almost 1,000 O visas in 2016. These visas can run for several years, but the annual numbers include spouses.
A large number of Chinese graduates — perhaps 20,000 — also hold jobs among the roughly 80,000 postdoc researchers in U.S. university laboratories.

Careless US estb. lets China hire thousands of scientists in the US, incl. many employed by US taxpayers, to steal tech by the boatload, admits (far too late) bipartisan Senate report.
No gov't or Ivy League managers are fired.
No visa program is frozen.http://bit.ly/2QL4dto 




The website, MyVisaJobs.com, uses federal data to track job opportunities for foreign graduates in the United States.
The data shows that employers nationwide nominated 11,153 Chinese-born migrants for green cards in 2019; 12,612 in 2018; 8,603 in 2017; and 7,217 in 2015. Overall, 59,870 Chinese has been nominated for green cards since 2010 by U.S. employers. Nearly all of those requests are approved by the government after a short delay.
These back-of-the-envelope estimates suggest that roughly 60,000 Chinese are working on H-1Bs, roughly 60,000 are working on three-year STEM-OPT permits, perhaps 100,000 are working on one-year STEM or CPT jobs, perhaps 30,00 are on other visas, and perhaps 20,000 are working as postdocs.
There are roughly 270,000 resident Chinese visa workers holding jobs in the United States.
That is a huge number. Roughly 800,000 Americans graduate each year from four-year colleges with skilled degrees in science, software, engineering, business, architecture, math, or health care.
This 270,000 estimate excludes the roughly 50,000 Chinese former visa workers who have won green cards.
It also excludes the growing illegal population of Chinese workers, tourists, and students who violated visa rules. One example of claimed Chinese visa fraud was tracked by NBCBayArea.com:
[The company] CloudParticle [was] based at a home just blocks away from Findream’s Mountain View headquarters … The company’s CEO, Jianfeng Yang, is currently employed as a Google engineer. His home on a quiet Mountain View street is listed as CloudParticle’s business address, and the company has no apparent website or phone number. Yang declined to discuss the company when NBC Bay Area reached him by phone and again when NBC Bay Area found him in person outside of a Google office.
The Chinese visa workers hold many types of jobs, including in media. For example, Sissi Cao is a business reporter in New York for the Observer.com.
Many Chinese white-collar migrants are hired by elite U.S. companies or by major banks. For example, the MyVisaJobs data shows that Amazon and its various affiliates have nominated 2,736 Chinese employees for green cards since 2013. Not all those nominated were approved, but the companies still employed those workers.
A back-of-the-envelope estimate suggests Amazon employs 2,500 Chinese-born people who have been nominated for green cards during the last ten years, plus 3,000 Chinese visa workers with H-1Bs visas, plus roughly 900 Chinese-born graduates with STEM-OPT, OPT, or CPT work permits. The data suggests that Amazon employs 5,000 visa worker Chinese, plus at least one thousand legal immigrant Chinese.
PRI.org described one of Amazon’s Chinese visa workers who was temporarily stuck in China because of the disease:
Before leaving for China, Hou accepted a new job as a senior software engineer with Amazon in Seattle. But to start working, he needed to leave the country in order to renew his US employment visa …  The visa, known as H-1B, ties foreign workers to the employer that sponsors them — which makes it tricky for H1-B workers to switch jobs while remaining in the US.
A similar calculation suggests Microsoft employs roughly 6,000 Chinese-born workers.

Online searches show why Microsoft & Amazon are concerned re : Each employs 6,000+ China-born graduates.
They got the high-$$ jobs via H-1B & OPT visas. Many have green cards.
Surely this cannot have any impact at all on US grads' salaries. http://bit.ly/31k0giM 






Will the Coronavirus Pandemic Derail China’s Global Ambitions?

The Communist Party leadership in China, steeped in that nation’s millennia of history as the dominant power of its known world prior to the eighteenth century, has long been resolved to take whatever actions are necessary to establish China as the undisputed global hegemon.  Over time, authoritarian oligarchies inevitably develop an innate determination to keep any societal or economic setbacks hidden from the rest of the world. 
This mindset brought about the unleashing of the Chinese Coronavirus on an unsuspecting world. 
This colossal blunder should permanently derail their global aspirations, as their naked ambitions and disregard for the other nations is now on full display.  Whether China continues unabated toward their ultimate objective is solely up to the United States, as no other nation or group of nations is either willing or capable of confronting China.  And that willingness to confront China is embodied in one person, Donald Trump.  Which is why the Communist leadership is determined to do all in their power, together with their de facto collaborators in the Democrat Party and the mainstream media, to defeat him in November.
Donald Trump, is among the few overwhelmingly successful magnates that never succumbed to the siren song of the Chinese communists and saw the dangers inherent in relying on them.  In an interview in 2010 he said:
If you look at what China is doing to our country, it’s disgraceful.  They’re making all of our products.  We’re not manufacturing anything.  They’re making all our products, and they’re selling them to us.  And then they’re loaning us the money.  They take the money and loan it back to us.  We should be fighting China.
As President he has been and continues to be virtually alone internationally and domestically in fighting China’s inequitable trade policies, their theft of trade and military technology, and their determination to relegate the United States to second tier status.
America’s historical allies have in essence been bought off and can no longer be relied upon to support any efforts by the United States under the leadership of President Trump.  Some European leaders have openly called for his defeat in November and have been among his harshest critics in his dealings with China.
The European Union is now China’s largest trading partner and a major source of investment capital throughout Western Europe.   Even George Soros, no friend of the United States, warned Europe about the pitfalls of getting in bed with China. Not surprisingly, China is now unabashedly exerting influence in Italy, France and other countries throughout the continent.    Which is why the European Union refused to initiate a travel ban from China during the entirety of the Coronavirus outbreak, leading to Europe being a global epicenter of the pandemic as well as the source of the overwhelming majority of the infections in the United States.
Any nation or company that has had any business dealing with the Chinese government or an entity controlled by the government can attest that any transaction always has a requisite or implied quid pro quo that oftentimes does not involve monetary considerations.  Once entangled in this web, it is nearly impossible to escape, as the Chinese communists are the embodiment of unabashedly utilizing high-tech intimidation tactics.
This lesson is either lost on or ignored by the hierarchy of the Democrat party, their financial supporters and their propaganda arm, the mainstream media, as they have embraced the maxim that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.  Their enemy is Donald Trump and their friend is Communist China.
Condemnation of China’s unparalleled and deliberate mishandling of the Coronavirus pandemic has been conspicuously nonexistent by virtually anyone in the Democrat party leadership or among its elected cohort or their donor class.   Nor has this cabal denounced China for actively promoting throughout the world the despicable lie that the United States is responsible for the Coronavirus epidemic and that they, China, has heroically fought and totally dispatched the dreaded disease.
Taking its cue from the Chinese Central Propaganda Department, the Democrat party and the media’s unceasing and often fabricated disparagement of President Trump in a time of national crisis is part of a calculated strategy to frame the Coronavirus pandemic in a way that leads to his defeat in November.
The Democrat party’s presumptive nominee, Joe Biden, is wholly owned by the Chinese due to his innumerable and unethical business, financial and personal ties to China.  That the Democrat party hierarchy is willing to nominate someone so overtly compromised reveals their willingness to “work with” China.
Among the Democrat Party’s primary financial backers, are the entertainment and media conglomerates, as well as high tech and Wall Street billionaires such as Michael Bloomberg, all of whom have considerable financial and manufacturing ties to China.  
Over the past twenty years, China has invested heavily in and formed joint ventures with American tech companies and media and entertainment conglomerates.   For example AT&T, the owner of CNN, and Comcast, the owner of NBC and MSNBC, are involved in a number of significant joint ventures with the Chinese government.   Google, Facebook and Twitter, among other American tech companies determined to gain access to the Chinese market, have acquiesced to virtually every demand of the Politburo in Beijing.  Unsurprisingly, China has been flooding Facebook and Instagram with ads blaming Trump for the Coronavirus pandemic while touting their so-called successes in stemming the spread of the virus.  They can do so without fear of censorship, unlike conservatives or the Trump campaign in the United States.
The Democrat party’s propaganda arm, the mainstream media, is filled with so-called journalists who are ill-educated, credulous, incapable of generating an original thought beyond their self-absorption, and easily stage-managed.   Their sophomoric hatred of President Trump makes them ideal dupes to spout the daily Democrat party’s talking points and unwittingly embarrass themselves in the gotcha game with the President.  They are now being used to fan the flames of mass hysteria, promoting the gambit that lockdowns cannot end until there is a vaccine, pouncing on any attempt to reopen the economy, claiming that will cause more people to die, regurgitating Chinese propaganda about how well China has and is handling the Coronavirus pandemic, and bing complicit in bringing the nation to its knees prior to the November election.
The stakes in this upcoming election are far greater than those in any recent presidential election.  For the first time in American history, a major political party is in league with a hostile foreign power to defeat an incumbent president.
Communist China is at a crossroads.  If Donald Trump is defeated in November, then China will not have suffered any setback for the Coronavirus debacle.  With a compliant government in Washington D.C., their ambitions for world domination will continue apace.  And the United States will further evolve into a vassal state beholden to the manufacturing supremacy and financial domination of an authoritarian state.  If Donald Trump is re-elected along with a Republican Congress, then China’s grand plans for world domination will be thwarted and this nation will have the opportunity to divorce itself from reliance on a hostile foreign power.

Lindsey Graham says there could be 'bipartisan pushback' against China over coronavirus



South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham claimed that punishing China for its shady handling of the coronavirus pandemic is one area where Republicans and Democrats see eye to eye.
Graham joined Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, and dozens of other senators in demanding that the World Health Organization force China to ban wet markets, which are believed to be the cause of the coronavirus pandemic. During an interview on Hannity, Graham said this could be the first of several bipartisan efforts to punish China for its handling of the outbreak.
"The first thing I want to do is get the United States Senate on the record where we, we don’t blame Trump, we blame China," Graham explained. "The Chinese government is responsible for 16,000 American deaths and 17 million Americans being unemployed. It’s the Chinese government and the way they behave that led to this pandemic."
He later added, "I want to make our response to this so overwhelming that China will change its behavior. I want to get the medical supply chain back in the United States, and I want to stop canceling some debt that we owe to China because they should be paying us, not us paying China. I think you're going to see a bipartisan pushback against China to punish them so severely to deter them in the future."
The Chinese Communist Party has been criticized for covering up the pandemic and pushing falsehoods about the virus before it became a global crisis. China claimed that the disease could not spread between humans then barred international inspectors from entering the country when the outbreak began in Wuhan. U.S. intelligence officials also believe China has underreported its death toll.
As of Thursday, the United States had more than 462,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 16,513 related deaths.
