Yesterday, March 13, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act” by a vote of 352 to 65, with one member voting present.
It was a victory for the United States.
“China – Communist Slave State”
Trump launched CIA covert influence operation against China
WASHINGTON, March 14 – Two years into office, President Donald Trump authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation.
Three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported.
You can see why Xi Jinping prefers the Biden crime family.
When the Moon Turns Red: China’s Plan to Annex Space
China, with Russia’s help, wants to build a base on the moon.
If the Chinese regime succeeds in building the first facility there, it will try to deny to others the ability to land on the lunar surface. The People’s Republic of China in fact intends to annex the near parts of the solar system.
As Richard Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center pointed out to this author, Chinese control of the moon would confer control of Cis-Lunar space, the portion of space between the Earth and the moon. Control of Cis-Lunar space would give a country the ability to shoot down or otherwise disable deep-space satellites, which are essential for, among other things, the early warning of ballistic missile attacks.
China says TikTok ban would ‘come back to bite’ the US
China has warned that a proposed ban on TikTok would “come back to bite” the US, as lawmakers approved a bill that could lead to the app being banned.
The bill in the House of Representatives would force the Chinese-owned app to sever ties with China or become unavailable in the US.
US officials have long expressed concern about TikTok, citing potential national security risks.
TikTok’s owners have repeatedly rejected that it poses any threat.
China is in crisis
Xi is strengthening his grip over his party, the military and society.
Since January, when elections in Taiwan returned the independence-leaning Lai Ching-te as president, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Beijing has been very quiet. But we shouldn’t mistake the relative silence for calm. Beneath the surface, the CCP is clearly experiencing quite a bit of turmoil at the moment.
Chinese-made cranes used at Canadian ports flagged as security concern by U.S.
Chinese-made cargo cranes that have been flagged as a security concern by an ongoing congressional probe in the United States are widely deployed throughout Canada’s ports.
A House of Representatives’ joint committee said its investigation turned up evidence of cellular modems on the Chinese-made port cranes that “do not appear in any way to contribute to the operation … raising significant questions as to their intended applications.”
GUNTER: Feds throwing up roadblocks to hide the truth
Here is the funniest thing said by any MP on Parliament Hill this week: “We share the outrage on foreign interference. We know this is an issue. This is a challenge we have to address.”
The hilarious speaker was Iqra Khalid, the Liberal MP for Mississauga-Erin Mills, whose declaration came just after Liberal and NDP members had voted together to shut down a Commons ethics probe into how two Public Health Agency of Canada scientists, Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Kedie Cheng, came to pass some of this country’s most sensitive secrets to Communist China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
14 more lawsuits filed in relation to affordable housing program
A beauty consultant, a chef and a musician who claimed to be stuck in China.
B.C. Housing filed 14 new lawsuits this week against a wide range of people accused of abusing a program designed to get affordable homes into the hands of people who need them.
After days of questioning following CBC stories about alleged violations of an Affordable Home Ownership Program, B.C’s Housing Minister released figures suggesting as many as a third of the 135 units in Victoria’s Vivid condominium project went to buyers who never lived in the building.

Are the thousands of Chinese ‘migrants’ flooding into the U.S. really a sleeper army of spies and soldiers preparing for war?
Topped with razor wire that glints menacingly in the desert sun, a 30ft steel fence runs along part of the vast U.S.-Mexican border, providing an imposing bulwark in America’s war against illegal immigration.
But at a certain point, where the fence runs up against a rocky outcrop, there is a 4ft gap, loosely blocked with more razor wire.
Predictably, it fails to discourage a steady stream of migrants, who simply step around the wire and enter the promised land.
Will anyone ever be held to account for China’s infiltration of the Winnipeg microbiology lab? Don’t make me laugh
One begins to see what the Trudeau government was so scared of – why it went to such lengths to conceal documents related to the firing of two scientists from the top-security National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, stonewalling a parliamentary committee and even calling an early election rather than hand them over.
Because as the documents make clear, this was no ordinary national security breach. This was a national security disaster. How it happened, how it went undiscovered for so long, with how serious consequences, must await further investigation. But what we know already – what the government has known for at least three years, and did its best to suppress – is staggering.

Montreal Chinese community centres serve RCMP with $5M defamation suit over ‘police station’ allegations
Two Chinese community organizations are suing the RCMP for defamation after the national police force alleged they were operating as “police stations” for the Chinese government.
The Chinese Family Services of Greater Montreal and Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive Sud, as well as the two centres’ executive director, Xixi Li, are seeking more than $4.9 million in damages, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Superior Court.
Russia and China plan nuclear power unit for the moon
China and Russia are planning to install a nuclear power unit on the surface of the moon by the middle of the next decade, the head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency has said.
Beijing and Moscow announced plans in 2021 to build a permanently manned research station on the moon’s south pole. The International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) project aims to establish a basic outpost in the next few years before completing construction in the 2030s.
Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberals want Canadians in the dark about China threat
Who calls the shots in Canada, Ottawa or Beijing? It’s becoming harder to tell, especially after this week’s shameful performance by the House of Commons Ethics Committee.
On Monday the Liberal-dominated committee shut down an emergency request by Conservative MP Michael Chong to investigate the firing of two Chinese scientists, Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng, at the Winnipeg National Microbiology Laboratory in 2021. Chong made the request after the government released 600 pages of documents revealing that Qiu and Cheng had basically been spying for the People’s Republic of China (PRC), developing “deep, cooperative relationships” with institutions there and transferring Canadian scientific knowledge and materials to the Chinese government.
Chinese government and military gained access Canadian lab and mailed live Ebola virus to Wuhan
A Chinese couple working at Canada’s highest biosecurity lab were secretly sending information to Beijing and mailed live Ebola to China, a bombshell investigation has found.
In a 600-page report released this week by the Canadian intelligence service, the pair were also accused of allowing visitors into the lab who tried to leave carrying plastic bags of vials containing an unknown substance.
Dr Xiangguo Qiu and Dr Keding Cheng were found to have left visitors with ties to the Chinese government and military unsupervised at the facility.
