Students or spies? The young Chinese caught in Trump’s crosshairs

Xiao Chen turned up at the US Consulate in Shanghai on Thursday morning, hours after Washington announced that it would “aggressively” revoke the visas of Chinese students.

The 22-year-old had a visa appointment: she was headed to Michigan in the autumn to study communications.

After a “pleasant” conversation, she was told her application had been rejected. She was not given a reason.


She doesn’t have to be given a reason she is foreign national from a hostile nation.

Why is sovereign nation status only allowed when it advances a left wing agenda?

Followed, threatened and smeared — attacks by China against its critics in Canada are on the rise

For Yao Zhang, the news came as a shock.

Sexually explicit, deepfake images of her were circulating widely online — an attack that Ottawa blamed on the Chinese government.

It wasn’t the first time Zhang had been targeted by China. Shortly after the Quebec-based accountant-turned-influencer travelled to Taiwan in January 2024 to support its independence, China’s national police paid a visit to her aunt in Chifeng, in mainland China.

Sigh …

Japan-China War being Refought In Canada

Anti-Japanese Museum in Canada Draws Criticism from Lawmakers

On May 27, 2025, Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Masahisa Sato raised concerns in the House of Councillors Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee over a museum in Canada run by a Chinese-Canadian organization. It was not the first time he had done so. The museum, he said, conspicuously promotes anti-Japanese narratives through exhibits shown to large numbers of local high school students. He first raised the issue at an April 17 committee session.

According to those familiar with the matter, the museum in question opened in June 2024 in Toronto, Ontario. Called the Asia Pacific Peace Museum, it was reportedly spearheaded by a local Chinese-Canadian organization called Alpha Education. Its exhibits include references prominently reflecting China’s viewpoint on the Nanjing Incident and comfort women.


Fact: Japan was a brutal aggressor that committed war crimes on a massive scale in China.

Their treatment of allied prisoners of war while inhuman pales in comparison to the Rape of Nanking and other grotesqueries. 

China went communist and the west needed allies post WW II so Japan’s atrocities were largely swept under the rug. 

But why does Toronto have to have a Museum dedicated to this war?

Has it become fashionable that all ethnic groups rekindle their historic blood-feuds here in the Magic Kingdom of Multiculturalism and Diversity?

Or is this just more ChiCom feckery?

The Fed Economist Accused of Espionage for Beijing

John Rogers was visiting Shanghai in May 2013, attending a business forum as a Federal Reserve economist, when he first received an email from an alleged Chinese intelligence agent.

The man described himself as a Chinese graduate student who was interested in learning about the Fed. Rogers says he refused the man’s offer to pay him. But they stayed in touch, and later, the man invited Rogers to visit China again, all expenses paid.

This time, Rogers made the trip, setting off a chain of events that led to espionage charges against him in the U.S.—and exposed new details about China’s alleged efforts to recruit informants inside U.S. government institutions.

Mark Carney is ignoring the cartels – and Donald Trump

The cartels have switched from the Mexican border to the Canadian border

Donald Trump has declared war on the cartels. The southern border is now patrolled by the military, the wall is rapidly expanding and US intelligence is helping to target crime bosses on Mexican soil. Illegal crossings and drug seizures at key points have dropped by more than 70 percent in the last year.

But, contrary to appearances, the cartels have not surrendered – instead, they have pivoted, applying Sun Tzu’s principle: attack your enemy’s weaknesses, not his strengths.

Led by the blood-soaked and ultra violent Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartel they are exploiting the soft 5,525-mile long northern border with Canada and its sparse surveillance, dense forests, inadequately staffed crossings and neglected checkpoints.


The usual suspects will be making profit from policy no doubt.

Why the West’s next mass blackouts might be ‘made in China’

Discovery of a Chinese ‘kill-switch’ in a US solar farm sparks fears of widespread power cuts

“Cheap, clean power, to give us energy security,” declared Ed Miliband, as he strode through a grassy field flanked by rows of solar panels.

With a film crew in tow, the Energy Secretary visited Castle Hill solar farm, in East Yorkshire, last Thursday to promote the launch of Great British Energy, the new publicly owned energy company.

If he gets his way, there will soon be many more sites like it. Under Labour’s clean power mission, the Government wants to almost triple the amount of British solar capacity by 2030.

FBI boss Kash Patel launches scathing accusation at ’51st state’ Canada after alarming terrorism finding

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a major bombshell on Sunday by accusing Canada of allowing drugs and terrorists to flow over the northern border into the U.S.

Patel is turning his attention to Canada and demanding the country do more to stop illegal activity at the border.

He said that Mexico has done more to partner with Washington, D.C. to stop those on the terrorist watch list and other bad actors from getting over the border, and he told Canada to ‘step up’ to the plate.

Inside TikTok town: vast data centre sparks Chinese spying fears

For Finland’s small city of Kouvola, the centre would bring money and jobs. But the social media giant as the tenant poses a political headache for Helsinki

Kouvola needs all the jobs it can get. Young Finns who have not already left a small city so drab it could be stuck in the Soviet Union struggle to find work.

So when an international company called Hyperco announced it would exploit the freezing north’s temperatures and ready access to cold water to build a data centre in the area, there was general acceptance of it being a pretty good thing.

After all, the few million euros paid for a parcel of empty land seemed a good deal for everybody.

FBI Warning—CCP, Iran, and Mex-Cartels Partnering in Canada to Move Fentanyl and Terrorists Into U.S.

WASHINGTON — In an explosive Sunday interview that will place tremendous pressure on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new Liberal government, FBI Director Kash Patel alleged that Mexican cartels, Chinese Communist Party operatives, and Iranian threat actors have forged a new axis of criminal cooperation, using Canada’s porous northern border and the Port of Vancouver—not the southern Mexican border—as their preferred entry point to flood fentanyl and terror suspects into the United States.

China emerging as top customer for Canadian oil shipped via Trans Mountain Pipeline

China has emerged as the top customer for Canadian oil shipped on the expanded Trans Mountain Pipeline, ship tracking data shows, as a U.S. trade war has shifted crude flows in the year since the pipeline started operating.

China’s new interest in Canadian oil comes as U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war has strained relations between longtime allies Washington and Ottawa. It also reflects the impact of U.S. sanctions on crude from countries like Russia and Venezuela.

Chinese Hide Sabotage Devices in Solar Power Inverters, U.S. Officials Claim

Brussels’ green targets are already damaging enough for consumers, businesses and, of course, farmers. But significant—albeit unsurprising—reports this week highlight that the reliance on Chinese goods in particular to ‘achieve’ these goals could have a far worse impact on its own.

U.S. officials have identified ‘rogue communication devices’ not listed in product documents in some Chinese solar power inverters. They spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, and even refused to name the Chinese manufacturers, but did say the devices could skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, which could in turn trigger widespread blackouts.

DEA assessment fingers Canada as major fentanyl source as guns flow freely across Northern border

Blame Canada.

In its latest National Drug Threat Assessment, the US Drug Enforcement Agency is blaming Canada for a blizzard of illicit fentanyl from so-called ‘super labs’ located on this side of the border.

In its latest assesment, Canada was mentioned seven times as a source of drugs and precursor chemicals despite the DEA not mentioning Canada once in its 2024 report.

Trump Lets China Win in Tariff War — First Round, Anyhow

On May 12, President Donald Trump announced a “total reset with China.”

“The best part of the deal,” he said, was that “China agreed to open itself up to American business.” Beijing, Trump proclaimed, will “suspend and remove all of its non-monetary barriers.”

In the meantime, both the U.S. and China agreed to drop tariffs by 115 percentage points. The general American tariff rate on China’s goods is now 30%. The general Chinese rate is 10%. Both reductions will be in effect for 90 days.

Bags of Cash From Drug Cartels Flood Teller Windows at U.S. Banks

Chinese money-launderers allegedly made six-figure deposits at Chase, Bank of America and Citibank branches across Los Angeles County

On a hazy Southern California morning, undercover police officers watched Jiayong Yu step out of a Range Rover in a strip-mall parking lot and walk into a Chase bank with a black-leather backpack full of cash.

At the teller window, Yu pulled out stacks of bills and waited while a woman fed them into a cash-counting machine. After Yu left, an officer asked the teller if he had deposited more than $10,000, the threshold requiring banks to flag transactions to federal regulators.

More like $100,000, the teller said. By then, Yu was already on his way to Chase and Bank of America branches in Claremont, Calif., about 35 miles away.

Federal authorities allege that Yu worked for an underground banking network that bought dollars at a discount from Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel and sold them at a premium, largely to Chinese nationals in the U.S.
