All that, and more, is already a done deal with China, like the USSR a one-party Communist dictatorship that never produced a single product the United States needs. This has come about, in large part, due to U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, San Francisco Democrat.

Feinstein Praises China, Opposes Bill That Would Let Americans Sue CCP
Longtime Democrat has ties to the country
✉
A longtime senator spoke out against legislation that would let American citizens sue the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), claiming China’s regime is “growing into a respectable nation” and that the bill would open the United States up for to lawsuits.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who has close ties with China, made the comments during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that included discussion of a bill introduced by six Republican lawmakers.
The legislation would provide Americans with the “legal tools necessary to sue the Chinese government in federal court for creating and worsening the COVID-19 pandemic,” Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), one of the sponsors, said in a statement.
Feinstein, the oldest member of the Senate, told colleagues that Californians “hold China as a potential trading partner, as a country that has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time, and as a country growing into a respectable nation among other nations.”
“And I deeply believe that. I’ve been to China a number of times. I’ve studied the issues,” she added.
Feinstein cited a professor who told the committee behind closed doors that the United States has the most to lose by permitting civil lawsuits against China.
“She explained that the more expansive the exceptions, the more they could also apply to U.S. conduct, the worse off we will be,” Feinstein said.
“In short, if we eliminate sovereign immunity for countries engaging in reckless behavior that contributed to the spread of COVID-19, and other countries, including China, may very well do the same to us,” she added later.
A Feinstein spokesman didn’t respond to an inquiry about what the senator is doing to respond to the CCP’s human rights abuses, including holding over one million in concentration camps in Xinjiang, or the party’s failure to contain the CCP virus.
Feinstein during the hearing said she favors forming relationships “that can make the changes internationally.”
The committee later advanced the bill to the full Senate. Republicans hold majorities on each committee because the party holds the Senate with a 53-47 majority, including two Independents who nearly always caucus with Democrats.
“China’s Communist Party must face consequences for concealing and now profiting off of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), a member of the committee, said in a statement.
Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee concluded last month that the CCP covered up the spread of the CCP virus, with assistance from the World Health Organization.
That coverup “played a significant role in turning what could have been a local epidemic into a global pandemic,” Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said in a statement.
Several states filed suits against the Chinese regime over the virus.
Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch is seeking damages under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act while Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is seeking relief on public nuisance, abnormally dangerous activities, and breach of duty allegations.
Democrat Traitors Stand by China’s Spy Consulates
Democrat sanctuary cities don’t
just provide sanctuary for illegal aliens, but for enemy spies.
July 29, 2020
Daniel
Greenfield
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the
Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical
Left and Islamic terrorism.
On Tuesday, Houston firefighters arrived at 3417 Montrose
Boulevard. Neighbors had reported smoke and a burning smell at the Chinese
consulate. The consulate, which had been given 72 hours to close by the State
Department, did not let them in even as the smoke continued to waft into the
summer air.
Video showed consulate employees throwing paper into burning bins.
“We have directed the closure of PRC Consulate General Houston, in
order to protect American intellectual property and American’s private
information," the State Department had warned.
The Houston consulate had become notorious for trying to
intimidate American elected officials in Texas and nearby states, as well as
American energy companies, especially those doing business in Asia. Some
have also linked the Houston consulate to Chinese espionage against American
tech and medical firms.
FBI investigations into the Houston consulate involved theft of medical
research, recruiting researchers to get at scientific secrets, and forcing
Chinese nationals to return to the People’s Republic of China.
Why would the People’s Republic of China have thought that Houston
would be a safe base for spying on and intimidating Americans? Houston and
Texas Democrats quickly rushed to provide the answer.
Rep. Al Green, who had hosted a luncheon at the spy consulate,
accused President Trump of racism.
“Don’t give the impression, please Mr. President, that they are
all spies,” Green whined. “My appeal is to the president to understand that his
words take on a meaning that can be harmful to other people.”
Rep. Green then went on to suggest that Trump had endangered his
constituents by referring to the pandemic as the 'China virus', and suggested
that Trump's actions might be leading to "more anti-Asian American
violence, or worse, internment.”
While shamelessly playing the race card, for a race he doesn’t
belong to, the Democrat did not discuss his own collaboration with the spy
consulate.
Rep. Green had co-hosted a
Houston press conference with Consul General Cai Wei of the spy consulate, whom
he described as a friend, with Chinese state media in attendance, at which the
Democrat urged local residents not to worry about the virus, and described
himself and Wei as a “committee of two”.
The Houston Democrat boasted that the enemy consulate was close
enough for him to walk to.
That's the same Wei who had been accused of using fake
identification to get Chinese nationals through the airport, with whom Rep.
Green, an American official, had been meeting with on a regular basis.
Texas state representative Gene Wu, who had also been at the press
conference, warned that, "in retaliation, China may basically stop all the
investments and tell companies to pull out of here."
Green and Wu were far from the only Democrats playing defense for
the Communist dictatorship.
Amid reports that a fugitive spy wanted by the FBI is being
harbored by the Chinese consulate in San Francisco, the inescapable reality is
that foreign spy compounds operate in Democrat sanctuary cities.
Democrat sanctuary cities don’t just provide sanctuary for illegal
aliens, but for enemy spies.
The Trump administration had already ordered the shutdown of the Russian
consulate in San Francisco over its espionage. And the Chinese consulate
appears as if it will be next. But if the Chinese consulate in Houston was able
to garner the support of Democrats at the local and national level, the
situation in San Francisco is expected to be much worse because of Chi-Com
infiltration of California Democrats.
Chinese intelligence officials at the San Francisco consulate
had successfully recruited a staffer at Senator Dianne Feinstein’s San
Francisco office and the situation at the local level is much worse.
And Democrats, instead of supporting their country, are once again
undermining it in favor of China.
The same Democrat officials who had castigated President Trump for
not trusting the “intelligence community” are the ones rejecting intelligence
findings about China’s spy networks.
Senator Angus King suggested that the move was a political stunt
by President Trump. "Is it really about confronting China, or does it have
something to do with an election in four months?"
Former Senator Max Baucus, Obama's ambassador to the Communist
dictatorship, has falsely claimed that the closure was
"electioneering".
“This is the wrong way to handle it," Baucus wheedled.
"If Pompeo thinks he is going to quote ‘change Chinese behavior,’ he is
gravely mistaken.”
Baucus' China rhetoric has, in recent months, tipped into blatant
PRC propaganda, when he compared Trump to Hitler for
opposing the brutal dictatorship in an interview with a Chinese propaganda
outlet. Baucus has a consulting firm that works with Chinese businesses,
and sits on the boards of several Chinese companies. The media outlets who have
had Baucus on have not disclosed his ties to China.
"There are a lot of very responsible people in America who
know this China-bashing is irresponsible and we will pay a price if it
continues. That is all I am saying," he had warned.
The Democrat has claimed that relations with China will improve if
Biden wins the presidency. That’s not surprising since Biden and Baucus
are good friends, and Baucus got the
ambassadorship due to Biden.
Biden’s China ties have made it impossible for Democrats to
confront the Communist dictatorship. Instead they’ve decided to accuse
President Trump of closing the consulate as an election stunt even though it’s
only July and the closure it hardly likely to have any meaningful impact on the
election.
Instead of standing with America, the Democrats are trying to
shift the onus to President Trump.
“The White House must be transparent and show that it is taking
smart and thoughtful action, rather than engaging in brash foreign
policy," Rep. Lizzie Fletcher complained.
Meanwhile local Democrats like Rep. Al Green, and local Houston
media, are treating the consulate
closure as a hate crime perpetrated by President Trump in order to persecute
Asian-Americans.
Gordon Quan, a former Houston City Councilman, contended that,
"to have the consulate close, to have accusations being made that this is
the hotspot for spying, just creates a further cast upon the loyalties of
Chinese Americans.”
And the Chinese Communist propagandists have adopted the familiar
playbook of the Left, complaining about racism, and whining that PRC embassies
are facing bomb threats and angry messages. This propaganda is coming from a brutal
regime which has engaged in genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the ruthless
suppression of political dissent, ethnic and religious minorities, and anyone
who gets in its way.
Chinese Communist consulates in America, including in Houston,
have been used to intimidate Chinese residents in America, and to suppress
political protests against China in this country. The Communist regime’s
diplomatic corps has organized Chinese students to shout down, threaten, and
even physically intimidate political opponents on campuses and even off them in
San Francisco.
And yet, Democrats and the media insist on treating the Chinese
Communist regime as the victim.
The Democrats are more loyal to their hatred for President Trump
than they are to America. And even in the face of blatant enemy action, they
choose the People’s Republic of China over the United States. A growing number
of Democrats have also been directly or indirectly compromised by the enemy
regime.
And that makes President Trump’s crackdown on spy consulates in
Democrat cities all the more urgent.
When the State Department closed the spy consulate in Houston,
Democrats had to choose between standing with Communist China or standing with
America. They chose China and they chose treason.

Republican Senators Introduce the Protecting America From Spies Act
✉
Following the closing of the Chinese Consulate in Houston, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday introduced legislation to protect the nation from spies. Cruz and three other Republican senators created a proposal that will deny visas to anyone who has spied on or stolen intellectual property from the United States.
U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) joined Cruz to advance the Protecting America from Spies Act.
“Under current law, the Chinese Communist Party’s spies expelled from the U.S. have the ability to immediately reapply for visas,” Cruz’s office noted. “The Protecting America from Spies Act would update the Immigration and Naturalization Act to ensure past, present, and future espionage and tech-transfer activity is considered inadmissible for entry into the United States.”
The bill also states that if the spying occurred within the past 5 years, the spouse and children of the alien would also be disqualified from obtaining or renewing a visa.
The U.S. State Department ordered the Chinese Consulate in Houston to close on July 22. According to State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus, China was violating U.S. sovereignty.
“The United States will not tolerate the PRC’s violations of our sovereignty and intimidation of our people, just as we have not tolerated the PRC’s unfair trade practices, theft of American jobs, and other egregious behavior. President Trump insists on fairness and reciprocity in U.S.-China relations,” Ortagus said in a statement emailed to The Epoch Times.
According to Senate Intelligence Committee Acting Chairman Marco Rubio, the consulate was not used for diplomatic purposes.
“China’s consulate in Houston is not a diplomatic facility. It is the central node of the Communist Party’s vast network of spies and influence operations in the United States. Now that building must close & the spies have 72 hours to leave or face arrest,” Rubio said on Twitter on July 22, adding that the closure is long overdue.
The closure order came on the heels of an indictment of two Chinese nationals for a decade-long cyber espionage campaign in which they were accused of stealing information on weapons designs, drug information, software source code, and personal data.
Cruz said that China has been using espionage against the United States without consequence for “far too long.”
“The State Department’s recent closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston due to the Communist Chinese Party actively engaging in espionage and intellectual property theft was an important step, but more needs to be done,” said Cruz, adding that that is why he led the effort to introduce the Protect American from Spies Act.
The bill, which has been sent to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, is being introduced in the House by Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.). “It is past time to stop known spies from China coming back into our country,” Hartzler said.
In September last year, the United States expelled two Chinese embassy officials for driving onto a “sensitive” military base in Virginia, the first time in more than 30 years that Chinese diplomats were expelled over suspected espionage.
Top U.S. officials have recently ramped up criticism of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), saying the regime is the biggest threat to the United States.
Roughly 80 percent of all economic espionage prosecutions brought by the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleges criminal conduct intended to benefit the CCP. China is involved in some way in about 60 percent of all trade secret theft cases, according to the DOJ.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said the bureau is opening a new counterintelligence investigation involving China every 10 hours. The bureau has more than 2,000 active China-related investigations, as part of the China Initiative, a large-scale counter-CCP campaign launched in November 2018 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

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.
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.

“He’s a
totally corrupt swamp thing, and here’s the worst part of his manifest

than in terms of allowing his bum kid to leverage his position. He thinks it’s A-OK for his boy Hoover to cash in
all over the globe. After all, that’s what you do, right? That’s part of the

out of line. How dare they? HOW DARE THEY!”

America’s China Dependency Syndrome
Lessons from the USSR.
April 28, 2020
Lloyd
Billingsley
“Made in China” has been a familiar label on products for years
but it wasn’t until March of 2020 that Americans learned of the perils that
might entail. China threatened to impose export controls on
pharmaceuticals that would plunge America into “the mighty sea of coronavirus.”
Sen. Marco Rubio told reporters the United States was “dangerously
reliant” on China for critical goods, including parts for technologies needed
to fight COVID-19. Since 2004, Chinese pharmaceutical companies have been
supplying 80-90 percent of U.S. antibiotics. Americans might wonder how they
landed in such a dependent position, and that invites a comparison with the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The world’s first socialist state, established in the world’s
largest nation, never produced a single product the West wanted or needed. For
all its vast natural resources, the USSR was an economic basket case, and by
the mid-1980s in serious trouble.
Suppose that some U.S. senator had then offered a trade deal that
ignored the regime’s human rights violations and allowed state-owned Soviet
companies to manufacture goods for the American market, all marked “Made In the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.” These would include vital pharmaceuticals
and the deal would allow the use of Soviet steel, and Soviet labor, in major infrastructure
projects in the United States.
The deal would impose no review of human rights and impose no
conditions for democratic reforms, supervised multi-party elections and such.
All that, and more, is already a done deal with China, like the USSR a one-party
Communist dictatorship that never produced a single product the United States
needs. This has come about, in large part, due to U.S. Senator Dianne
Feinstein, San Francisco Democrat.
On a visit to Shanghai in 2006 Feinstein told James Areddy of the Wall Street Journal, “I’ve been coming to China for 31 years, so I’m not a newcomer.”
That would put her first visit in 1975, one year before the death of the Great
Helmsman Mao Zedong his own self. Feinstein was then a San Francisco
supervisor, and as mayor struck up a sister-city relationship with Shanghai. On
the 2006 trip Feinstein spent time with former Shanghai mayor Zhu Rongji, “a
good friend.”
Areddy asked about the Tiananmen Square massacre then turning 21.
Feinstein said it was a “a great setback for China in the view of the world,” a
public-relations problem for China, not a human rights issue. “It was just the
PLA (People’s Liberation Army)” and China “learned lessons from it.” Still,
Feinstein admitted, “we did not discuss it.”
As Ben Weingarten noted in the Federalist in 2018, Sen.
Feinstein’s ties to China are “way deeper” than any Chinese spy in her office.
Feinstein maintained a “strictly apologist line” on China’s human rights
atrocities, and Feinstein’s husband has “profited handsomely” during her career
in the Senate. Sen. Feinstein “served as a key intermediary between China and
the U.S. government, while serving on committees whose work would be of keen
interest to the PRC.” For two decades and three election cycles, Feinstein
harbored a Chinese spy who fed “political intelligence” to Beijing’s Communist
regime. Since that article, the dossier has grown longer.
As Rosemarie Ho noted in The Nation, Dianne Feinstein failed to support the democracy protesters in
Hong Kong. When the coronavirus hit these shores, Feinstein was uncritical of
China and one of the first to cry “racism” against those who pointed out the pandemic’s origin in Wuhan,
China.
Ben Weingarten wondered how a motivated and empowered prosecutor
would operate if tasked to explore “any links and/or coordination” between the
Chinese government, Feinstein and individuals associated with her office. Such
an investigation never took place with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the most servile
apologist of Communist China since Anna Louise Strong, and
certainly the most influential. On the other hand, Donald Trump was thoroughly
investigated for “collusion” with Russia, which turned out to be a hoax.
It was the president’s tweet that brought Feinstein’s Chinese spy
to public attention. President Trump has access to all U.S. intelligence, a
major reason domestic and foreign foes alike are desperately trying to remove
him from office. In his April 19 press conference, the president called the
upper reaches of the DOJ and FBI “human scum,” and their inattention to
Feinstein, Hillary Clinton and other high-profile Democrats confirms that the
rot continues.
President Trump is now throwing down with the invisible enemy of
coronavirus and making progress despite opposition from Democrats and their
media allies. As they parrot Chinese propaganda, the president has already
started the decoupling process.
“We cannot outsource our independence,” the president said last Monday. “We
cannot be reliant on foreign nations. I’ve been saying this for a long time. If
we’ve learned one thing it’s let's do it here, let’s build it here, let’s make
it here.”
As with the USSR, we don’t need China for anything. And as Chuck
Berry said, anything you want they got right here in the USA.
