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.
China Issues Instructions for ‘Incoming Biden Administration’
Obey Beijing, do not challenge China’s assumed economic superiority and open your domestic markets without restraint: these are the three key instructions for Joe Biden issued in an op-ed published Sunday by the Global Times, official propaganda mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The piece outlines China’s vision of the future under a compliant Joe Biden administration, stating from the beginning the CCP wants a “partnership” that is “categorically different” than that offered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Biden is, irrevocably, the 46th US president,” the editorial offers without evidence, before outlining just why the two countries should combine their resources in fighting the coronavirus epidemic.
To that end the Global Times maintains that supine America is a good America, warning its friend Joe Biden, “Demonizing China or slinging dirt on Chinese people will never help to stop the flare-up of infections and fatalities in America.”
In 2013, Joe Biden and Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Ten days later, Hunter Biden's firm inked a $1,500,000,000.00 deal with a subsidiary of the Communist Chinese Government's Bank of China. https://t.co/1P9r7hw27B

“China’s experiences are impressive in curtailing the pandemic, and China’s unparalleled ability in manufacturing PPEs and producing vaccine vials and freezers should not be neglected and could be made use of by the Biden government,” it adds.
As to the economic realities facing the two countries, the piece gets straight to the point: It says China’s economy is growing at a “sizzling pace” and if the U.S. wants to be part of that, it should comply with Beijing. It says the “selfish” doctrine of America First must end, advising:
Economic confrontations with China chosen by Trump’s team failed to do the US, or any country in this world, any good. The buying power of Chinese businesses and Chinese households should never be diminished or looked down upon. Australia and Canada, the two hardcore allies of the US who are very unfriendly toward China, have received a bitter lesson from Beijing. Don’t trample on Chinese people’s bottom lines, otherwise they will bite back.
Now, a flurry of US multinational companies have vehemently opposed Trump’s so-called “economic decoupling” attempt, as they know perfectly well they could not find another giant and growing market like China’s. So the incoming Biden administration needs to ponder its new policies, to reverse the course of the tumultuous policies of the past four years trumpeted by Trump.
Put simply, the Global Times warns resistance to Beijing is futile and Joe Biden – if he does eventually take the White House – should obey.
Any other course of action will be frowned upon by the ruling Chinese Communist Party dictatorship.
Report: Kamala Harris
Listed as ‘Key Contact’ for Biden Family Business Venture in China

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was reportedly
listed as one of several “key domestic contacts”
for a Chinese business venture proposed in
2017 by Hunter Biden and James Biden, the
son and brother of former Vice President Joe
Biden, respectively.
Fox News reported Thursday morning:
A list of “key domestic contacts”
for a joint venture involving Jim and Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China
Energy Co. included former Vice President Joe Biden’s current running mate Sen.
Kamala Harris, among other prominent Democrats, Fox News has learned.
An email exclusively obtained by Fox
News, with the subject line “Phase one domestic contacts/ projects” and dated
May 15, 2017, Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of “key domestic
contacts for phase one target projects.”
…
The list, included Harris, D-Calif.;
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar,
D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand,
D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former
Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe, among others.
It is unclear if any of the
Democrats were ever contacted about the “target projects.”
Last week,
the New York Post revealed Hunter
Biden’s venture in China, citing emails in which he said that a deal could be
“interesting for me and my family” and that 10% of the equity in a new firm
would be “held … for the big guy.”
On Wednesday
evening, Breitbart News reported that
one of the recipients of Hunter Biden’s emails, Tony Bobulinski, confirmed that
“the big guy” was a reference to Joe Biden himself.
Bobulinski also said in a statement
to the press: “I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter
about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it
wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family
name and its legacy on the line.”
Breitbart
contributor Peter Schweizer noted recently in his book Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive
Elite that Biden’s relatives often traded on his name to make
money abroad:
The Biden family partners are often
foreign governments, where the deals occur in the dark corners of international
finance like Kazakhstan, China, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Ukraine, and Russia. Some
deals have even involved U.S. taxpayer money. The cast of characters includes
sketchy companies, violent convicted felons, foreign oligarchs, and other
people who typically expect favors in return.
…
The Biden family’s apparent
self-enrichment depends on Joe Biden’s political influence and involves no less
than five family members: Joe’s son Hunter, daughter Ashley, brothers James and
Frank, and sister Valerie.
…
The Bidens leverage political power
not only for generating deals, but also for the opportunities to quietly
develop the financial resources of wealthy friends for the benefit of the
family. Friends that help the Bidens can count on Joe to grant them
governmental favors.
Though Biden
has tried to
dismiss recent stories about Hunter Biden’s emails as a “smear” campaign, no
one has yet disputed the authenticity of the emails released by the Post, Breitbart News, Fox News,
and others.

BOMBSHELL:
Hunter Biden Email Names Kamala Harris, Others as Key Contacts for 'Joint
Venture' With China Energy Co.
BY BRYAN PRESTON OCT
22, 2020 12:07 PM ET
Tom
Williams/CQ Roll Call/Pool via AP
The emails purported to be Hunter Biden’s on that abandoned
laptop have been verified by one
recipient. They’re real and they’re spectacularly damning, according to Tony
Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden.
Another email begs for answers from Joe Biden’s
vice-presidential running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris. Fox News reports:
A
list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and
Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. included former Vice
President Joe Biden‘s current
running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, among other prominent Democrats, Fox News has
learned.
An
email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the subject line “Phase one
domestic contacts/ projects” and dated May 15, 2017, Biden’s brother, Jim
Biden, shared a list of “key domestic contacts for phase one target projects.”
The
email is unrelated to the laptop or hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter
Biden, the former vice president’s son.
Jim Biden is the Democratic nominee’s brother.
It’s a shame the media won’t stir itself to cover this. Or,
when they do, they’ll spin it faster than a NutriBullet.
Because it looks for all the world like the whole Biden
family trades on Joe’s long and mediocre career in politics, with Hunter as the
tip of the lucrative spear.
And they don’t care at all about who they trade with, including
the communist oligarchy that rules China.
Here is the actual email.
Mr. Bobulinski is one of the cc’d recipients, along with Hunter Biden and two
others.
The Biden camp has not responded to it in any way. Joe
himself remains under his self-imposed lid until after tonight’s final
presidential debate, which will be moderated by a journalist with longstanding
Democratic ties. Harris has yet to hold any sort of press event. The malevolent
media have not clamored for one.
Sen. Harris is specifically named in the email, along with
several other prominent Democrats and one Republican.
The
list, included Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.;
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten
Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio;
former Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe, among others.
One question comes quickly to mind: Was Harris ever contacted
about this, and if so, by whom? Will the moderator ask it of Joe?
Will the moderator ask about Joe’s nickname?
Bobulinski has confirmed both the authenticity of the laptop
email related to him and that the cryptic reference to “the Big Guy,” who would
supposedly rake in $10 million from the deal with a Chinese energy company, is
in fact a reference to Joe Biden.
Bobulinski
was referring to an email, Fox News obtained last week, dated May 13,
2017, which included a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in
a business deal with a Chinese energy
firm. The email appeared to identify Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on
agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China
Energy Co.
Reaction from most of the media and the Biden camp: crickets.
CEFC is close with the communist government, as are all
successful mainland Chinese companies, and has been involved in Beijing’s “Belt and
Road” initiative by which China has sought to use its economic
and manufacturing might to displace U.S. influence around the world.

Feinstein’s Close China
Ties Under Scrutiny After Chinese Spy Discovery
·
BY ZACHARY
STIEBER
·
·
News of a Chinese spy working for U.S. Senator Dianne
Feinstein broke recently, revealing the spy was employed by Feinstein for 20
years.
·
Initially reported
as part of a larger story about spies in Silicon Valley, a former intelligence
official later revealed that the staffer was Feinstein’s driver for many years.
·
The source
told the San Francisco Chronicle that the driver passed information to
Chinese officials based at the local Chinese Consulate. Part of the staffer’s role was acting as
a liaison between Feinstein’s San Francisco office and the local consulate.
·
The staffer was
recruited to spy after visiting China.
·
The staffer,
who has not been named, worked for Feinstein for 20 years.
·
Senator Feinstein was alerted to the spy about five years ago. The FBI alerted
Feinstein after investigating and finding the staffer shared nothing of
substance.
·
“They
interviewed him, and Dianne forced him to retire, and that was the end of it,”
the source said. “None of her staff ever knew what was going on. They just kept
it quiet.”
·
Feinstein
wouldn’t comment on the spy but her office told CBS that none of the staffers in San
Francisco have ever had security clearances.
·
Noting the
oddness of the discovery, President Donald Trump said via Twitter on August 3: “Dianne is the person
leading our Nation on ‘Collusion’ with Russia (only done by Dems). Will she now
investigate herself?”

Feinstein’s Relationship With China
·
Some details of
Feinstein’s past are now being examined anew, centered on her close
relationship with China, beginning with her service as mayor of San Francisco
from 1978 to 1988.
·
Feinstein has
long been linked to China. For instance, she hosted former president of
China Jiang Zemin at her home for dinner when she was
mayor of San Francisco, and celebrated the resumption of air service from China to the United States (starting with
San Francisco International Airport) after a 32-year hiatus.
·
San
Francisco and Shanghai have been sister cities for 38 years, after the
agreement was put into place by Feinstein and Jiang, who was then Shanghai’s
mayor. Feinstein was cited as having a “close relationship” with Jiang and ties between the two continued for many years later.
·
Jiang is
infamous for cracking down on human rights, most notoriously by banning the peaceful
meditation practice of Falun Gong and throwing many of its estimated 100
million adherents into jail.
·
·
Under
Jiang, torture, rape, murder, and even organ harvesting from detained practitioners became
common.
·
To help
facilitate the relationship between the U.S. and China, Feinstein asked
organizers of the city’s popular Chinese New Year Parade to stop displaying the flag of the
Nationalist Chinese government, which ruled in exile in Taiwan after 1949.
·
Feinstein also
defended China, despite its communist policies, insisting that it was merely
“socialist.”
·
“There was
originally this kind of anti-communist view of China,” Feinstein told the Washington Post. “That’s changing. . . . China is a
socialist country but one that is increasingly becoming capitalistic.”
·
Husband Becomes Prominent Investor in China
·
Several
articles from the 90s explore the development of not only Feinstein’s
developing relationship with China while she was mayor, but her husband’s
burgeoning investments there.
·
According to
the Los Angeles Times, in 1997 Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum,
who invests his own and clients’ money into undervalued firms, expanded his
business investments into the communist nation to the point that “his firm is
now a prominent investor” there.
·
In 1992, the
investments amounted to one project worth less than $500,000. Two years later
he was planning to invest up to $150 million and two years after that a Blum
investment firm paid $23 million for a stake in a Chinese government-owned
steel company.
·
Another
investment by Blum’s firm was helped by the International Finance Corp., an arm
of the World Bank, which invested $10 million in the leading producers of
soybean milk and candy in China.
·
Utterly amazing to read this 1997 report on Sen
Feinstein’s family’s political and business ties to #China in context of revelations about a Chinese spy working for her as a
driver for 20 years, quietly let go seemingly rather than being brought to
justice https://t.co/efwT2yZgkg pic.twitter.com/twAI5igZ2I

·
“It seems to be
going quite well,” Rashad Kaldan—who in 1994 managed the IFC’s capital markets
investments in Asia—told the Times of the project. He added: “There also was
some comfort in that Mr. Blum had some contacts with the Chinese.”
·
Blum said that
his interest in China went back many years, predating political connections. He
won permission from the Chinese in 1981 to climb the east face of Mt. Everest
and called himself a close friend of the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan leader who the Chinese
government opposes.
·
In dispatches
written for the San Francisco Examiner, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, Blum said that a goodwill visit to China
by Feinstein in 1979 helped him win permission to climb Everest.
·
“We had come to
build goodwill, promote trade and to make new friends,” Blum wrote in one
story, adding, “but I asked for and received permission to have another kind of
meeting—one with the Chinese Mountaineering Association.”
·
Trips to China
·
Feinstein
took three trips between 1995 and 1997 to China, in addition to trips earlier
in her mayoral service, to meet with top communist officials, including Jiang.
Blum often attended the meetings with her, an arrangement the Times described
as “unusual.”
·
At one time,
the couple had dinner at Zhongnanhai, the enclave reserved for the president
and other top officials in China.
·
“We had dinner
in Zhongnanhai in Mao Tse-tung’s old residence in the room where he died. We
were told that we were the first foreigners to see his bedroom and the swimming
pool. It was a very historic moment to see some of these things,” told the Los
Angeles Times. Mao was the communist leader of China whose policies led to
the deaths of tens of millions of Chinese people.
·
Feinstein
insisted that Blum had never spoken to officials during meetings about
business.
·
“I am open to
any suggestion as to how I can even make a firewall more fireproof,” she said.
“I don’t know what else I can do. . . . Either he retires or I suppose we end
our marriage.”
·
·
Experts
noted that even attending the meetings and being so visible conferred a certain
benefit to Blum, in addition to Feinstein’s pro-China record.
·
“There is no
doubt in my mind that, if Dianne Feinstein had a pattern of taking positions on
U.S.-China policy that Chinese officials disliked, Mr. Blum would have a great
deal more difficulty doing business in China and probably would find it
impossible to do,” said Ross Munro, co-author of “The Coming Conflict with
China.”
·
By 2000,
Blum pledged not to invest in China or Hong Kong as long as his
wife remained a senator.
·
The Los
Angeles Times noted that Feinstein has sometimes taken on issues that seemed to
coincide with those of her husband, such as calling in a speech on the Senate
floor in 1994 for President Bill Clinton to increase favorable trade relations
with China. At the same time, Blum was planning to invest up to $150 million
there.
·
Feinstein was
elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992.
·
China Attempts Illegal Contributions
·
A
widespread campaign of making potentially illegal donations stemmed from a 1996
vote on whether to bestow permanent most-favored-nation trading status on
China, an effort Feinstein led.
·
According
to Slate and the Washington Post, Feinstein was alerted in the early 90s by
the FBI that the Chinese government was working to illegally contribute money
to various campaigns, including hers. Though no donations could be definitively
linked to the government, Feinstein returned a $12,000 check to businessman and
Democratic National Committee Vice-chair John Huang.
·
“We have reason
to believe that the government of China may try to make contributions to
members of Congress through Asian donors,” a statement in the FBI briefing
materials to elected officials read.
·
A Justice
Department task force said Feinstein nor any other member of Congress knowingly
received illegal payments from the Chinese government.
·
However,
authorities said that the Democratic National Committee returned $3
million in campaign contributions because the money came from questionable or
improper sources. Officials believed the potentially illegal campaigns were an
attempt to influence votes on the trading status.
·
Feinstein has
received awards and recognition from some groups for promoting U.S.-China ties,
accepting the California-Asia Business Council’s New Silk Road award in
2005.
·
“The rise
of China is one of the most remarkable transformations the world has ever
seen,” she told the crowd.
·
“For many of us
who watch China, there is both a sense of awe at what China has accomplished,
as well as a sense that it could all unravel overnight.”
·
“Rather than
just pinning the blame on China, we need to better understand the costs that
lead to outsourcing abroad and take action to remediate them,” she added.
·
“I strongly
believe that the US-China relationship is and will be America’s most important
bilateral relationship. We must not let differences, economic or otherwise,
derail the progress that has already been achieved over the past three
decades.”

Feinstein Praises China,
Opposes Bill That Would Let Americans Sue CCP

Longtime Democrat has ties to the

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 conclude
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.
