Communist China's Influence in America; How Severe Is It: Hear from U.S. Members of Congress

The CCP's expansion of influence in America. How severe is it? Does it really concern us? Is this threat far-fetched, an exaggeration? Or has the CCP already extended its abuses close to home? I think that the creep happens very, very quickly, if you let it, and that's exactly what the Chinese are trying to do here. They're trying to creep because they want us to be more like them, not them to be more like us. The Chinese Communist Party is sending agents here, is sending police here, establishing a police station in the heart of Manhattan. This May, the Justice Department announced that a CCP agent was caught trying to bribe an IRS agent, aiming to get the nonprofit status of a Falun Gong-affiliated organization removed. Well, they called a Chinese service center. It's located in Omaha, Nebraska. It's odd to me that in the middle of the country, you know, we're talking about San Francisco, New York. You have to remember that in Omaha, we run the world's nuclear triad for the United States Armed Forces. That's the bombers, the ICBM missiles, and then the nuclear submarines. So we're a strategic headquarters for the United States Armed Forces, and to have one of these Chinese service centers in our backyard tells you how aggressive and omnipresent the Chinese want to be in every community in America, and it's startling. It should concern everybody in America that they're penetrating that far into the middle of our country. We had a Chinese balloon that flew over our country, transverse the entire nation, many of our military installations, our missile bases, some of our secret missile bases. They're buying up property all around there. They're buying up our farmland. Their Belt and Road Initiative is locking down all rare earth minerals. We learned that there were spies who were posing as tourists trying to get onto one of our military bases, Chinese spies. So this is happening in our backyard every single day. Chinese have been infiltrated in some communities down to the PTA level, and that is how far and deep this goes. Can't have as any delusions or delusions of who the Communist Party of China is, who Xi is, and what we're facing.
