JOE BIDEN'S OPEN BORDERS!
Report: Spying Fears After Chinese Nationals Caught Entering U.S. Sites 100+ Times
Federal investigators believe spying networks are behind the 100-plus attempted entries by Chinese nationals into sensitive U.S. sites in recent years, a report Sunday set out.
The cases are reportedly many and varied, including people crossing into a U.S. missile range in New Mexico — and scuba divers swimming near a rocket launch site and Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Wall Street Journal said quoting officials familiar with the allegations.
Drones to take detailed aerial footage of sensitive military sites have been seen— while the Pentagon confirmed cases of people “speeding through security checkpoints.”
The report comes after Chinese balloons were seen crossing U.S. territory earlier this year to the embarrassment of the Biden administration.
“I Think They’re Compromised” — Rep. Tim Burchett on Biden Admin’s China Balloon Debacle
Matt Perdie / Breitbart NewsA common response by those stopped by officials is a claim to be confused and they often use what appears to be scripted language when confronted by security, the report said.
For example, individuals and groups often claim to be looking for hotels or a Burger King when challenged.
The Defense Department and FBI are among multiple federal agencies which shared a review last year on how to limit the attempts, which officials told the WSJ are viewed as a form of espionage.
Congress might also consider legislation, Rep. Jason Crow (D- Colo.) told the paper, to toughen up how security is handled at the sensitive sites, with trespassing laws currently being state and local, not federal.
“We need to work closely with our state and local partners to train them and equip them,” Crow said. “Right now, they don’t know how to deal with it.”
The incidents that occurred in rural areas where there is little tourism typically involved Chinese nationals who were pressed into service and required to report back to the Chinese government, the report added.
“The advantage the Chinese have is they are willing to throw people at [intelligence] collection in large numbers,” said Emily Harding, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington and a former deputy staff director at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
In many of these cases, officials told the WSJ, those who have been found trespassing on bases have been briefly detained and then escorted out of the country.
No cases appear to have resulted in espionage charges, the paper said.
Still, the Chinese embassy in Washington is denying any espionage efforts and responded with equal measures of surprise and indignation at the accusations.
“The relevant claims are purely ill-intentioned fabrications,” spokesperson Liu Pengyu told the WSJ.
“We urge the relevant U.S. officials to abandon the Cold War mentality, stop groundless accusations, and do more things that are conducive to enhancing mutual trust between the two countries and friendship between the two peoples.”

Chinese Company Employing CCP Members to Build Battery Plants in Michigan After Biden Approval
A Chinese company, now revealed to employ hundreds of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members, is set to build two electric vehicle battery plants in northern Michigan after scoring approval from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and President Joe Biden.
Earlier this year, Democrats in the Michigan legislature approved plans by Gotion Inc. to build a $2.3 billion battery plant near Big Rapids with millions in state taxpayer money and potentially billions in federal tax credits as well.
Similarly, Gotion Inc. is looking to build a second battery plant in Michigan.
In June Biden’s Treasury Department approved the Gotion battery plant project outside of Big Rapids. At the beginning of this month, Gotion purchased nearly 300 acres of land in Green Charter Township where the plant will eventually sit — just 100 miles from Camp Grayling, which is the largest United States National Guard training site.
According to an ESG report, published by the Daily Caller, Gotion’s parent company employs hundreds of CCP members and is led by a member of the CCP, despite repeated denials from executives that the company is controlled by the party.
The Daily Caller reports:
“Gotion High-Tech founded a CCP branch in 2010 that was upgraded to a CCP committee in 2014,” reads Gotion High-Tech’s 2022 ESG Report. “The CCP committee’s subunits are two CCP general branches and 11 party branches, currently with 923 CCP members, among which over 50% hold master’s degrees or higher.” [Emphasis added]
Gotion High-Tech’s CEO, Li Zhen, is also identified as the party secretary for the firm’s CCP committee within a section of the 2022 ESG report highlighting the company’s 2022 “party building work situation.” [Emphasis added]
The revelation comes weeks after a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) filing, reported by Fox News, discovered that Gotion was registered as a Chinese foreign principal.
Meanwhile, residents in northern Michigan are outraged by the prospect of a CCP-linked company buying up hundreds of acres of land and becoming a major employer in their small community.
Gotion’s battery plant is not the only Chinese investment worrying residents. As Breitbart News has reported, Ford Motor Company and China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) are proposing a $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall, Michigan.
CATL is China’s premier electric vehicle battery supplier. CATL CEO Zeng Yuqun is a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee — a high-ranking CCP advisory body that serves as a central component of the party’s “United Front” efforts.
China’s “United Front” efforts, as the federal government has detailed, are considered to be a front for CCP intelligence operations overseas.
Like the Gotion project, the Ford-CATL joint venture is getting hundreds of millions from Michigan taxpayers and is likely to win possibly billions in federal tax credits, also funded by taxpayers.
