Has Trump Administration taken in actions against China over Hong Kong? Obama’s response to Ukraine annexation at least had some teeth, but once Trump tried undermining that, China saw their chance and moved 

There was no reaction to Ukraine at all, besides telling them to stop. What were the the teeth? I am not even bashing Obama for that but he did nothing.

FBI Director Wray says half of bureau’s 5,000 counterintelligence cases are related to China

Most Americans have likely had their information stolen already, Wray says

By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News

 

FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday warned Americans that the Chinese government’s theft of American information is taking place on so large a scale, suspected incidents make up nearly half of his bureau’s counterintelligence cases.

 

Speaking at an event hosted by the Hudson Institute in Washington, Wray said that Chinese thefts amount to “one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history,” and that the American people are the victims.

 

“Of the nearly 5,000 active FBI counterintelligence cases currently under way across the country, almost half are related to China,” Wray said. “And at this very moment, China is working to compromise American health care organizations, pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions conducting essential COVID-19 research.”

 

In fact, Wray said that most Americans have already been affected.

 

“If you’re an American adult, it is more likely than not that China has stolen your personal data,” he said.

 

As an example, Wray noted that in 2014 Chinese hackers stole more than 21 million records from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

COLLUSION: 

 

Canadian university starts referring to Taiwan as ‘province of China’ after diplomatic row. 

 

Taiwan is a province of China like Canada is a province of the United States.

 
 
 
 
 

 

Now if only we could get the residents of America's hat to understand their place.

EXCLUSIVE: Chinese virologist accuses Beijing of coronavirus cover-up, flees Hong Kong: 'I know how hey treat whistleblowers'

Li-Meng Yan told Fox News that she believes China knew about the coronavirus well before it claimed it did. She says her supervisors also ignored research she was doing that she believes could have saved lives.

By Barnini Chakraborty, Alex Diaz | Fox News

 

Hours before she boarded an April 28 Cathay Pacific flight to the United States, the respected doctor who specialized in virology and immunology at the Hong Kong School of Public Health had plotted her escape, packing her bag and sneaking past the censors and video cameras on campus.

She had her passport and her purse and was about to leave all of her loved ones behind. If she was caught, she knew she could be thrown in jail -- or, worse, rendered one of the "disappeared."

Yan told Fox News in an exclusive interview that she believes the Chinese government knew about the novel coronavirus well before it claimed it did. She says her supervisors, renowned as some of the top experts in the field, also ignored research she was doing at the onset of the pandemic that she believes could have saved lives.

Between the flooding and COVID-19, I think China has big problems right now. A disengagement is a wise choice.
 

‘Will ensure disengagement of troops at LAC’: India, China reiterate stand

India and China on Friday once again reiterated that they will work to ensure “complete disengagement of the troops” along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Ladakh region, where 15 Indian soldiers were killed on June 15 in a violent face off with the Chinese army. The comments were made at the 16th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation & Coordination (WMCC) on India-China Border Affairs.

The Trump administration on Tuesday rescinded a policy that would have stripped visas from international students whose courses move exclusively online amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Student visas shouldn't exist AT ALL.

 

Jared and Ivanka NEED to go.  This presidency is turning into a ***** disaster.  Trump is hemorrhaging support and I'm not surprised when ***** like this happens just about every ***** week.

Or this could be another haphazard action by Trump that would have been easy for the courts to overturn.   Sometimes, he's his worst enemy.

It was just another shiny coin to distract from the POTUS doing nothing on the Trump virus - while millions of Americans are infected and 140,000 dying.

COLLUSION: 

 

Former Ohio State professor arrested trying to flee to China with stolen laptops, USB drives. 

 

“‘Yet again, we are faced with a professor at a U.S. University, who is a member of a Chinese Talent Plan, allegedly and deliberately failing to disclose his relationship with a Chinese university and receipt of funds from the Chinese Government in order to obtain millions of dollars in U.S. grant money designed to benefit the health and well-being of the people of the United States — not to be hijacked to supplement the research goals of the Chinese Communist Party,’ said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers in a statement following the arrest.”

China has bigger problems than "trade" at the moment.

 

 

 Record floods raise questions about China’s Three Gorges Dam.

 

 

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - As China counts the costs of its most punishing flood season in more than three decades, the role played by the massive and controversial Three Gorges Dam - designed to help tame the Yangtze river - has come under fresh scrutiny.

AMERICA MOVES TO PROTECT THE SOUTH CHINA SEA FROM COMMUNIST CHINA: 

 

This week the U.S. made it clear it is prepared to stop Communist China’s slow invasion of the South China Sea.

Four years ago this week, the Chinese Communist Party declared war on international order in the form of a blunt rejection.

On July 12, 2016, The Hague’s international arbitral tribunal, relying on the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea treaty (UNCLOS), issued a ruling supporting the Philippines’ claims that China had violated Filipino territory in the South China Sea by seizing islets and “sea features.” China had also plundered resources in the Philippines’ maritime Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

Despite having signed the sea treaty (which meant accepting the arbitration process), the Chinese government callously ignored the verdict and disdained the court’s authority.

More:

China’s blunt rejection of the decision stunned the Filipino government and alerted other nations on the Pacific Rim. The Beijing regime not only broke a major treaty it had ratified but also openly maligned legal procedures created to promote peaceful resolution of international disputes. Beijing’s thuggish rebuke sent the message that Chinese whim backed by China’s enormous military and economic power determined sovereignty in the South China Sea.

Even more:

Reneging on treaties, spurning just verdicts and, of course, seizing territory without suffering severe consequences tells China’s leaders that its opponents are weak and lack the will to resist. Undermining, co-opting and ultimately dominating global diplomatic and economic institutions; public and private organizations; and methods of interaction is another CCP goal. Revealing weakness forwards this line of operation.

And:

On July 13, 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced a “strengthened” U.S. policy in the South China Sea that specifically aligns American policy with the tribunal’s decision. “Beijing’s claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful, as is its campaign of bullying to control them,” Pompeo said.

 

For the wind up, read the entire column.
