President Donald Trump’s legacy, and the entire success of the MAGA agenda are in jeopardy, but it is not through the actions of the Trump-hating Uniparty, but his own dangerous choice to permit as many as 600,000 Communist Chinese spies and saboteurs masquerading as students to enter our country.
What prompted the switch from President Trump’s view during his first term that Red Chinese student visas should be reduced, to today’s policy of more than doubling them has mystified and outraged the MAGA grassroots and MAGA-aligned national security professionals outside of government.
Suspicion has fallen on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick – one of the Trump Cabinet members most closely associated with the “let’s make a deal with Xi” policies that have so far borne no fruit in our trade relations with the Communist enemy – as the most likely culprit.
And Secretary Lutnick’s outrageous claims that 15% of American colleges and universities would “go under” without Communist Chinese students was so outrageous that it has been burning down social media.
It’s almost too obvious to state, but we will do it anyway: If their business model is to import thousands of enemy aliens to stay in business it would be a major contribution to our national survival for these colleges and universities to go out of business.
Setting aside the fact that admission to American colleges and universities is a zero-sum game, and that every Communist Chinese admitted takes one of the limited seats that would otherwise be available to an American student, there’s ample evidence of how dangerous it is to our national security.
And this is not about racism toward the Chinese people.
It is about the totalitarian Communist Chinese Party. Their goal is to supplant us and they are closer than our leaders, including members of the Trump administration, are willing to admit. They steal our tech, encourage anti-American radicals, spy on pro-American Chinese, and contribute nothing to our country once they are educated by us and return to the enemy state that sent them here.
In testimony before a 2023 House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet titled, “How the Chinese Communist Party Uses Cyber Espionage to Undermine the American Economy” Dr. Benjamin Jensen, Senior Fellow, International Security Program, CSIS
documented:
The scale of the theft is staggering. A survey of Chief Financial Officers estimates that 1 in 5 U.S. corporations has had their IP stolen. The challenge is especially acute in startups and small businesses, the areas likely to see the greatest innovation linked to AI/ML. The leading generative AI systems we are all experimenting with came from Open AI - a non-profit research lab that grew out of a tech accelerator not a Fortune 100 company. Small businesses account for over 44% of U.S. economic activity. These are the exact firms least likely to invest in state-of-the-art cyber security.
As Dr. Jensen points out, the application of generative AI to Communist Chinese espionage is growing with frightening speed and consequences for our national security.
All of these concerns, and many more examples of Red Chinese theft of intellectual property and espionage, have been known for years.
Back in 2018 Jeff Ferry, Coalition for a Prosperous America Research Director, noted experts agree Communist China’s espionage campaign is on a different scale from anything we’ve seen in history.
Mr. Ferry produced a report documenting it has been going on at least since the 1990s and there is no sign it is letting up. Targets include an incredibly broad range of US companies, embracing civilian as well as military technology, with a special focus on the telecom and Internet sector. In 2009, National Security Agency Director General Keith Alexander called Chinese IP theft “the greatest transfer of wealth in history.” He put the value of cyber-theft of US trade secrets and intellectual property (IP) at a stunning $250 billion a year and called it “our future disappearing in front of us.”
Mr. Ferry’s report cited the “Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft” and that was SEVEN YEARS AGO!
But what makes the Trump administration’s decision that 600,000 Red Chinese spies and agents of influence would be allowed into our colleges and universities even more astonishing is that the America First Policy Institute – the think tank supported by Donald Trump and founded to put intellectual meat on the Trump agenda produced a report identifying “Stop Chinese Communist Malign Influence and Theft of American Intellectual Property” as “Pillar IX” of the Trump MAGA agenda.
The report said in part, “The greatest threat to American economic security is the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and more specifically, the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The PRC regularly exploits U.S. immigration policies and our open business and academic environments to steal hundreds of billions of dollars in American intellectual property (IP) each year. The PRC also employs nefarious practices to foster anti-American and pro-communist sentiment within the public discourse.”
As our friend former CIA operator Sam Faddis said, “Nobody on the planet can monitor 600,000 Chinese students and control what they steal.” The only way to keep our intellectual property and our country safe is to not let them in in the first place.
We urge CHQ readers and friends to contact the White House through this link. Let President Trump know, as we have, that we support him, but that this ill advised and dangerous policy must be abandoned and his original plan of reducing Communist Chinese student visas be implemented.
