When U.S. Tuition Dollars Collide with National Security

In late August, President Donald J. Trump announced that up to 600,000 Chinese students would be allowed to study in the United States. He stated that without the revenue from full tuition and fees from international students, financially vulnerable schools could collapse:

“I like that their students come here, I like that other countries’ students come here. And you know what would happen if they didn’t, our system would go to hell immediately. And it wouldn’t be the top colleges, it would be colleges that struggle on the bottom.”

This policy, however, has drawn criticism across the political spectrum, even from supporters of MAGA. They argue that it prioritizes tuition dollars over national security.

SOS: Stop China at Scarborough or Face the Chinese Off California

On September 16, Chinese and Philippine vessels collided near Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea.

At the same time, two Chinese Coast Guard ships blasted the BRP Datu Gumbay Paing, a Filipino fisheries ship, with water cannons for almost a half hour. The belligerent action resulted in “significant damage” to the boat and injuries to a Philippine sailor.

Counterfeit Chinese Air-Bag Parts Tied to Five Deaths

Two recent fatal accidents involving Chinese-made air bag parts are renewing warnings from regulators over counterfeit components that can explode during a crash.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it is looking into seven incidents, including five fatalities, involving aftermarket air-bag parts that failed and ruptured during collisions.

Carney’s big on the China pivot.

China snaps up Australian canola after trade spat with Canada, sources say

SINGAPORE/BEIJING/CANBERRA, Sept 19 (Reuters) – Chinese state trading firm COFCO has bought up to nine 60,000-metric-ton cargoes of Australian canola, three trade sources told Reuters, after Beijing last month imposed preliminary anti-dumping duties on imports of the oilseed from traditional supplier Canada.

The purchases amount to around 540,000 tons, equivalent to about 8% of China’s total canola imports last year.

Canada ready to perform mass evacuation of Taiwan in case of Chinese invasion: officials

After Chinese President Xi Jinping’s government renewed a longstanding threat to seize control of Taiwan through force on Thursday, Canadian officials confirmed the military is prepared to conduct a mass evacuation of expatriates in the Indo-Pacific region.

Appearing before the House defence committee, Major-General Robert Ritchie told MPs the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) maintain the capability to perform a “non-combatant evacuation operation,” should a request be received from the federal government.

… A report from the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada suggests more than 20,000 Canadians live in Taiwan.

Feds ‘looking at’ axing Chinese EV tariffs to ease canola tax

OTTAWA — On the same day the prime minister is set to meet Saskatchewan’s premier after his trade mission to China, Canada’s industry minister said opening the Canadian market to Chinese-made EVs isn’t off the table.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday morning outside of the Liberal cabinet meeting, Melanie Joly said loosening Canada’s restrictions to China’s electric vehicles has not been ruled out to ease punishing tariffs on Canadian canola.

Flooding the market with cheap Chinese EV’s to keep a Canola market open? What could go wrong?

I mean besides Trump eviscerating what’s left of Canada’s auto industry.

Who wins?

Liberal staffers strategized over $1-billion loan for Chinese ferries while Freeland dismissed federal connection

As Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland was in the House of Commons distancing Ottawa from BC Ferries’ plan to buy four new ships from a Chinese state-owned shipyard, senior Liberal advisers were debating how to manage a looming announcement that there was in fact a connection.

Canada Infrastructure Bank, a federal Crown corporation, had provided $1-billion in financing for the purchase.

The Globe and Mail has obtained internal e-mails involving senior Liberal political aides, including one sent at 2:17 p.m. on June 18 just as the daily Question Period was about to start.

She’s only a little corrupt. I wonder what her cut was? What was Carney’s take?

Inside Xi’s Fifth Column: How Beijing Uses Gangsters to Wage Political Warfare in Taiwan — and the West

TAIPEI — At a banquet in Shenzhen more than two decades ago, Chang An-lo — the Bamboo Union boss known as “Big Brother Chang” or “White Wolf” — raised a glass to one of the Communist Party’s princelings. His guest, Hu Shiying, was the son of Mao Zedong’s propaganda chief. “Big Brother Chang,” Hu reportedly toasted him, an episode highlighted in a new report from the Jamestown Foundation.

Hu would later be described by Australian journalist John Garnaut as an “old associate of Xi Jinping.” That link — through Hu and other princelings Chang claimed to have met — placed the Bamboo Union leader within the orbit of Party elites. Garnaut also reported that the Ministry of State Security (MSS) had used the Bamboo Union to channel lucrative opportunities to Taiwanese politicians. According to Jamestown researcher Martin Purbrick, a former Royal Hong Kong Police intelligence officer, such episodes show how the CCP has systematically co-opted Taiwanese organized crime as part of its united front strategy.

Carney says there’s been a ‘rupture.’ What’s he going to do about it this fall?

Even while Mark Carney has been accused of lowering his elbows in regards to American tariffs, he continues to frame the larger challenge facing this country in stark terms.

“What’s going on is not a transition,” Carney said last week in Mississauga, Ont., while announcing an array of measures for industries impacted by the American administration’s actions. “It’s a rupture. And its effect will be profound.”

He saw the arrival of a “new age of economic nationalism and mercantilism” and described the current moment as an “age of adversity.” He invoked major nation-building infrastructure projects of the past and the national mobilization that took place in Canada during and after the Second World War.

Scrapping 100% tariff on Chinese EVs would be death knell for Canada’s auto industry, experts warn

As the federal government reviews Canada’s 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, industry insiders warn that ditching it entirely would be “an existential threat” to the Canadian automotive industry.

The tariff, which came into place almost a year ago, faces an automatic review, with results due by Oct. 1. Getting rid of it would prompt harsh retaliation from the U.S., and be the death knell for automotive production here, said the head of the association representing Detroit’s Big Three automakers in Canada.

Nasa bans Chinese nationals from working on its space programmes

US space agency Nasa has blocked Chinese citizens with valid US visas from its facilities – a move that effectively bars them from working at one of the most respected space research centres.

Chinese nationals, who could only work at Nasa as contractors or students contributing to research, found out on 5 September that they had lost all access to Nasa’s systems and facilities, Bloomberg news reported, citing sources.

Nasa then confirmed this, saying Chinese nationals would be restricted from using the agency’s “facilities, materials and networks to ensure the security of our work”.

This has been self-evident for what 25 years?

Carney considering scrapping tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles

If Canadians were in the driver’s seat, tariffs imposed by Ottawa on Chinese electric vehicles (EV) would have an easier road to the Canadian market.

At least that’s according to a Nanos Research survey with CTV News, which found 62 per cent of respondents either support or somewhat support removing a 100 per cent tax on all Chinese-made EVs, in the hopes that China may remove tariffs against Canadian crops like Canola.

Just what we need.

China’s Threat – Wainright’s Important Warning

After watching the carefully stage-managed parade of Communist Chinese military power observing the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, it is important to hear and heed the warning provided by an American general who endured four brutal years as a Japanese prisoner-of-war eight decades ago.

General Jonathan Wainwright fought a brave but futile defense of the Philippines in the days after Pearl Harbor. Having been overwhelmed by far superior forces, his men faced the Bataan Death March and barbaric treatment from their Japanese captors.

Carney’s $370M canola incentives are missing the mark, says industry group president

The president of the Canola Council of Canada says new funding announced this week by Prime Minister Mark Carney “misses the mark” on what the industry needs right now in the face of a steep Chinese tariff.

“We don’t believe there’s been proper recognition of extensive impacts on the rest of the canola value chain,” Chris Davison said on Rosemary Barton Live. “We have exporters and processors who have assets, facilities and infrastructure that is under duress right now.”

He added: “And there was nothing specifically that was speaking to that.”

‘Unrestrained’ Chinese Cyberattackers May Have Stolen Data From Almost Every American

Information collected during the yearslong Salt Typhoon attack could allow Beijing’s intelligence services to track targets from the United States and dozens of other countries.

China has hacked into American power grids and companies for decades, stealing sensitive files and intellectual property such as chip designs as it seeks to gain an edge over the United States.

But a sweeping cyberattack by a group known as Salt Typhoon is China’s most ambitious yet, experts and officials have concluded after a year of investigating it. It targeted more than 80 countries and may have stolen information from nearly every American, officials said. They see it as evidence that China’s capabilities rival those of the United States and its allies.
