Recent concerns have been raised regarding the national security implications of Communist China's actions against the United States. Former Director of National Intelligence highlighted the lack of response from the Biden administration towards China's aggressive behavior, citing instances such as a high-altitude balloon flying over the Western United States that was initially suspected to be of Chinese origin but later confirmed as belonging to an amateur balloonist.
However, past incidents, such as a Chinese spy balloon detected traveling across the U.S. and a Chinese immigrant being sworn in to the San Francisco Elections Commission without U.S. citizenship, have fueled worries about potential Chinese influence within American institutions. The appointment of a non-U.S. citizen of Chinese ethnicity to oversee election policy in San Francisco has sparked debate over the security implications of such decisions.
Former Secretary of State Pompeo emphasized the threat posed by Communist China's infiltration into American society, pointing out instances of espionage activities and economic investments that could compromise U.S. interests. Pompeo stressed the importance of addressing these internal threats, such as intellectual property theft and job losses, as part of safeguarding national security and economic prosperity.
The concerns raised by Pompeo and others underscore the need for a robust response to counter Chinese influence within the United States. The Biden administration's approach to handling these challenges has faced criticism for its perceived lack of action in addressing the growing threat posed by Communist China's activities on American soil.
