One of the “Great” World Leaders

Donald John Trump got played for the egotistic fool that he is by the mass murdering, totalitarian, and completely committed disciple of Communism, Xi Jinping, during Trump’s just concluded visit to the so-called People’s Republic of China. Xi Jinping’s firmness with the usually “take no prisoners” Trump, who basked in all the pomp and ceremony, was deferential to Xi Jinping, whom he called one of the “world’s great leaders”:

For President Trump, the first day of his visit to Beijing was all about the personal relationship between him and Xi Jinping, the Chinese leader.

“You’re a great leader,” he told his host, whom he has often said he admires for his “powerful” control over a nation of 1.4 billion people. “I say it to everybody.”

Mr. Xi, unsurprisingly, spent little time Thursday on flattery. Once the 21-gun salute and precision-marching by units of the People’s Liberation Army were finished, the disciplined Chinese leader plunged right away into setting boundaries for the two countries’ relations. The red line was Taiwan, he said, making it abundantly clear that Mr. Trump’s effort at rapprochement could crash on takeoff if he interferes with China’s long-term effort to take control of the self-governing island.

“The U.S. must handle the Taiwan issue with utmost caution,” he said according to a readout from Xinhua, China’s official news agency. The warning came just minutes into his public remarks in the Great Hall of the People, the center of power for the People’s Republic starting just a decade into Mao’s revolution. For Mr. Xi, it was all about setting boundaries, from the start.

For President Trump, the first day of his visit to Beijing was all about the personal relationship between him and Xi Jinping, the Chinese leader.

“You’re a great leader,” he told his host, whom he has often said he admires for his “powerful” control over a nation of 1.4 billion people. “I say it to everybody.”

The Chinese president designed the day meticulously, down to a visit to the Temple of Heaven, the Ming dynasty complex not far from the Forbidden City. As Mr. Trump sat in the 13th-century wonder, he got a history lesson from the Chinese leader, tailored to echo the modern era.

At his toast at a televised State Banquet on Thursday night, Mr. Trump came with a lesson of his own, describing links between China and the United States that went back to the Empress of China, the ship that took a 14-month journey in 1783 to open trade and bring the first American diplomats to what was then known as Canton, now called Guangzhou.

“We’ve gotten along when there were difficulties, we worked it out,” Mr. Trump said. But even then he cast relations in personal terms, making clear that the huge divisions between the two countries had to be solved by two strong leaders. (Trump Says He and Xi Talked Extensively About Taiwan.)

Poor, poor Donald John Trump.

This ignorant man has no understanding of the Communist mindset that shapes everything about Xi Jinping’s totalitarian rule over the people of Red China and absolute commitment to the West fully subordinate to its desires by embedding infiltrating every aspect of Western finance, culture, politics, law, medicine, science, education, farming, and commerce to such an extent that the day will come when a literal Manchurian candidate, rather than the transparently money-hungry grifted name Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and his family of grifters that stuffed their pockets with cash given them by Chinese “businessmen” acting at the behest of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), will become president of the United States of America and will the CCP more de facto control over and life and liberty that it exercises at present.

An exaggeration?

Hardly.

Remember that the Governor of Minnesota, Timothy James “Let Minneapolis Burn” Walz, was completely in the thrall of the Chinese Communist Party and, as obsequious as Donald John Trump was towards Xi Jinping over the past few days, Walz could have been a heartbeat away from the presidency even though he believed that the “People’s Republic of China” possessed the “moral authority” to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian War:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz astoundingly claimed Friday that one nation may have the “moral authority” to de-escalate the conflict between Iran and Israel after the Jewish state carried out airstrikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities and eliminated key military leaders.

“It might be the Chinese,” Walz suggested to ex-Biden White House official Neera Tanden during an event at the Center for American Progress (CAP). “And that goes against everything they say they’re trying to do in terms of the balance of power.”

Earlier, Walz had asked: “Who is the voice in the world that can negotiate some type of agreement in this? Who holds the moral authority, who holds the ability to do that? Because we are not seen as a neutral actor and we maybe never were.”

China’s record of human rights abuses against its Uyghur Muslim population has been well-documented by government watchdogs, in congressional inquiries and through the work of other international aid and advocacy organizations.

The US Intelligence Community has also drawn attention to coordination between Beijing, Moscow and Tehran to “exacerbate divisions in US society for their own benefit.”

He chose to marry his wife, Gwen, on the fifth anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre — which she claimed was done so he would “have a date he’ll always remember,” according to a report in the Guardian.

Walz also spoke fondly of his experiences under China’s economic system in 1991, telling the Alliance Times-Herald newspaper in his home state of Nebraska: “It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares.”

“The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg — or about 30 pounds — of rice per month. They get food and housing.”

CAP hosted the failed VP candidate “to offer ideas on how to respond to this moment,” as one of several “leaders who can govern effectively and break through the noise to connect across political lines.”

“Here we are with the, with the Middle East back on fire in a way that has now expanded,” Walz said of Israel’s targeted strikes eliminating at least 20 senior Iranian military officials and six scientists connected to its nuclear program.

“Iran has to retaliate, in their mind, I’m sure,” he added — which the regime did by launching 150 missiles at the Jewish state.

Walz noted that he was in Congress when former President Barack Obama’s administration agreed the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, to relax economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on their uranium enrichment.

President Trump withdrew from that deal in 2018, but last month, UN investigators discovered that Iran had been in violation of the non-proliferation agreement regarding its nuclear program, leading to a formal censure in the international body by France, Germany and the UK. (Former Dem VP pick Tim Walz claims China may have world's 'moral authority' after Israel attacks Iran.)

Timothy James Walz is this generation’s Henry Agard Wallace, who had been Vice President of the United States of America from January 20, 1941, until January 20, 1945, before serving briefly as Secretary of Agriculture before President Harry S. Truman fired him for being a “pinko” apologist for the mass murdering Joseph Stalin

It is no wonder that allegations have now arisen that the Chinese Communist Part manufactured fake American driver’s licenses in 2020 in order to defeat then President Donald John Trump and elect their bought-and-paid-for boy from Wilmington, Delaware, Red China Joe “What Spy Balloon” Biden, so that the Red Chinese could continue their expansionist policies throughout the world and use their field agents here without being molested:

Allegations that the Chinese Communist Party manufactured fake driver's licenses and shipped them to the U.S. in a scheme to influence the 2020 presidential election in favor of Joe Biden are being investigated by the Senate Judiciary Committee after the FBI revealed its own probe into the potential bombshell Monday night.

FBI Director Kash Patel located and declassified the document at the request of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley in late May and transmitted it to the committee Monday evening.

Grassley, R-Iowa, is demanding further information about the document, which alleges the plot sought to deliver fake driver's licenses to Chinese sympathizers in the U.S. who would cast a vote for candidate Biden. The document does not say whether any ballots were cast as part of the scheme.

"Chairman Grassley is in receipt of an FBI document (response) to a request he made based on legally protected whistleblower disclosures," a Grassley spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "The document alleges serious national security concerns that need to be fully investigated by the FBI."

Fox News Digital has reviewed the declassified document, which includes a "warning" section, stating it "is an information report, not finally evaluated intelligence."

"It is being shared for informational purposes but has not been fully evaluated, integrated with other information, interpreted or analyzed," the document states.

"Receiving agencies are requested not to take action based on this raw reporting without prior coordination with the FBI," the document states. "Unless a conviction in a criminal proceeding occurs, a presumption of innocence exists for any person being reported in this IIR."

The subject states, "[REDACTED] Chinese Government Production and Export of Fraudulent US Drivers Licenses to Chinese Sympathizers in the United States, in Order to Create Tens of Thousands of Fraudulent Mail-In Votes for US Presidential Candidate Joe Biden, in late August 2020."

The "source" of the document is "a collaborative source with indirect access, none of whose reporting has been corroborated for less than one year."

The "context" states that "the source obtained the information from an identified sub-source, who claimed they obtained the information from unidentified PRC government officials."

The document states that "in late August 2020, the Chinese government had produced a large amount of fraudulent United States drivers licenses that were secretly exported to the United States.

"The fraudulent drivers licenses would allow tens of thousands of Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party to vote for US Presidential Candidate USPER Joe ((Biden)), despite not being eligible to vote in the United States.

"China had collected private US user data from millions of TikTok accounts, to include name, ID and address, which would allow the Chinese government to use real US persons’ information to create the fraudulent drivers license," the document states.

"The fraudulent drivers licenses were to include true ID number and true address of US citizens, making them difficult to detect," the document adds. "China planned to use the fraudulent drivers licenses to account for tens of thousands of mail-in votes."

FBI notations on the document, however, show the bureau had some questions.

In one spot, the agency wrote that "a persons address information was not a valid field when creating a TikTok account. It was unspecified how China would attain US address data from the application."

Another FBI comment on the document states, "[REDACTED] Source is available for re-contact."

The next page of the document states, "SUBSTANTIVE RECALL" of the information, which took place Sept. 25, 2020 — just a day after then-FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress that the FBI had not seen any coordinated voter fraud ahead of the 2020 election.

The "context" section of the document states, "[REDACTED] The source obtained the information from an identified sub-source, who claimed they obtained the information from unidentified PRC government officials."

The "warning" section of the document repeats the first warning that the allegations are part of "an information report, not finally evaluated intelligence."

The document stated the "report was recalled in order to re-interview the source." It also states that "recipients should destroy all copies of the original report and remove the original report from all computer holdings."

"Recipients should also ensure that any citation of the information in finished intelligence products draws on the SUBSTANTIVE RECALL of this report rather than the previous version."

More information is being requested from the FBI as part of the Senate's investigation.

"Grassley is requesting additional documentation from the FBI to verify the production and is urging the FBI to do its due diligence to investigate why the document was recalled, who recalled it and inform the American people of its findings," a Grassley spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

The remainder of the document is heavily redacted.

"Thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassley, the FBI continues to provide Patel added, "In accordance with Chairman Grassley's request for documents, I have immediately declassified the material and turned the documents over to the Chairman for further review."

But Grassley is seeking more information specifically related to the FBI’s decision under the leadership of former Director Wray to recall the document to "re-interview the source," and "destroy all copies of the original report and remove the original report from all computing holdings."

Grassley is demanding Patel turn over all records relating to the follow-up interview, including all communications between and among agents and intelligence analysts.

"In addition, please describe all investigative steps the FBI has taken, or will take, to determine the veracity of the allegations in the IIR as well as who recalled the IIR and the basis for the recall, if that basis extends beyond the request for the source to be re-interviewed," Grassley wrote in a letter Tuesday to Patel.

"Lastly, explain why the FBI under your predecessor required the original IIR to be destroyed, whether this practice is consistent with the FBI’s past and current practice, and how it comports with federal record preservation requirements."

The FBI reporting document came just a month after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the International Mail Facility at Chicago O'Hare International Airport seized nearly 20,000 fraudulent driver's licenses.

We are dedicated to unprecedented transparency at the people's Bureau," Patel said upon declassifying the document and transmitting it to Grassley. "To that end, we have located documents Chairman Grassley requested, which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election.

From January 2020 through June 30, 2020, CBP officers at that location reported seizing 1,513 shipments of fraudulent documents that included a total of 19,888 counterfeit US driver's licenses.

"The majority of these shipments were arriving from China and Hong Kong," CBP posted in a July press release.

It was not immediately clear if the seizure had any relation to the document's allegations. (Senate, FBI probe alleged Chinese plot to influence Biden's election with fake IDs.)

The history of organized Communist efforts to infiltrate the politics, law, government, and social life of the United States of America dates back over a century, to the time that Americans such as John Reed supported the Marxist-Leninist takeover of Russia on October 21, 1917. Various Communist front organizations sprouted up throughout the Western world with academics, journalists, and performers among those who were prominent in Soviet Union’s propaganda efforts, which involved attempting to seize control of American labor unions, succeeding to influence the United Automobile Workers of America until Walter Reuther expelled Communists from its ranks in 1947 and the Congress of Industrial Organizations.

Famously, nearly three thousand citizens of the United States of America volunteered to fight for the Communists in the war against Catholicism in Spain from 1936 to 1939 at a time when a number of American universities and colleges were filled with apologists for international Communism who defended the mass murderer named Joseph Stalin at every turn until his eventual successor, Nikita Sergei Khrushchev denounced Stalin and his crimes during the period in Soviet history known as de-Stalinization.

Before the death of Stalin, however, men such as the aforementioned Vice President Henry Agard Wallace expressed his sympathies with the Soviet cause and advocated for the provision of American military and economic assistance in 1941 follow Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union in violation of the Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement of 1939. This assistance helped to prop up the Soviet regime, and it was offered precisely because many Western intellectuals and politicians, including Wallace and many officials within the United States Department of State, looked upon “international socialism” with great fondness and admiration.

This Western sympathy for Bolshevism was noted and denounced by Dr. Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn in the commencement address that he gave at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, on June 8, 1978:

I have had occasion already to say that in the 20th century democracy has not won any major war without help and protection from a powerful continental ally whose philosophy and ideology it did not question. In World War II against Hitler, instead of winning that war with its own forces, which would certainly have been sufficient, Western democracy grew and cultivated another enemy who would prove worse and more powerful yet, as Hitler never had so many resources and so many people, nor did he offer any attractive ideas, or have such a large number of supporters in the West -- a potential fifth column -- as the Soviet Union. At present, some Western voices already have spoken of obtaining protection from a third power against aggression in the next world conflict, if there is one; in this case the shield would be China. But I would not wish such an outcome to any country in the world. First of all, it is again a doomed alliance with Evil; also, it would grant the United States a respite, but when at a later date China with its billion people would turn around armed with American weapons, America itself would fall prey to a genocide similar to the one perpetrated in Cambodia in our days. (A World Split Apart.)

Perhaps more importantly than anything else, however, Stalin’s NKVD (later KGB) placed well-groomed candidates into Catholic seminaries here in the United States of America and elsewhere in the supposedly “free” world, especially after World War I and during the height of the Great Depression in 1930s.

President Trump’s touting of a Chinese commitment to “invest” one billion dollars in the United States of America while basking the pomp and circumstance that was shown to him by CCP officials ignores the fact that such an “investment” is not meant to benefit the United States of America but to make the American national economy completely dependent upon the whim of the CCP and its leaders:

“If you look at my old speeches when I was young, very handsome,” President Trump said while announcing his “Liberation Day” tariffs last year, “I’d be on a television show. I’d be talking about how we were being ripped off.” For someone who’s been known to change his opinion from time to time, he has been remarkably consistent on this point: Other countries are swindling America, and China is the worst offender.

In an earlier era when the political class was infatuated with free trade, Mr. Trump’s concerns marked him as an extreme outlier. Since then, the country has largely come around to his way of thinking. The Biden administration doubled down on Mr. Trump’s first-term China tariffs, increasing rates even further, and imposed strict export controls on critical technologies. A House select committee issued bipartisan recommendations to drastically limit China’s access to the U.S. market.

Anti-China sentiment helped sweep Mr. Trump back into office, and he packed his second administration with prominent China hawks, most notably Vice President JD Vance; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; the Pentagon policy chief, Elbridge Colby; and Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative. The assumption on the part of many Americans was that Mr. Trump would do everything in his power to sever economic ties between the two countries.

Instead, he may be on the verge of tying the United States to China irrevocably: Mr. Trump and Xi Jinping are reportedly considering a deal to allow China to invest $1 trillion in the United States, largely to build factories on American soil. It would be an unforced error of world-historic proportions.

As mind-boggling as that prospect might seem, however, it doesn’t come out of nowhere. Other than the steep tariffs he imposed (and then lowered), Mr. Trump’s approach to China has frequently put him at odds with his own administration. The White House’s high-level National Security Strategy seeks merely to “rebalance America’s economic relationship with China.” When the Pentagon’s draft of the more detailed National Defense Strategy described China as the top security threat, the president sent the authors back to the drawing board.

After Mr. Trump reached a “trade truce” with Mr. Xi at their October summit in South Korea, he directed Stephen Miller, a White House deputy chief of staff, to limit any agency actions that might antagonize China. He made the case for granting 600,000 Chinese student visas. And he pushed to allow China access to advanced A.I. chips — even though his administration’s own A.I. Action Plan states: “Denying our foreign adversaries access to this resource” is “a matter of both geostrategic competition and national security.”

What is going on?

The answer is that Mr. Trump sees the problem with China as simply a bad deal. And what’s the remedy for a bad deal? Why, a better deal, of course. End the rip-off and all is forgiven. “I don’t blame China,” he told business leaders in Beijing in 2017. “After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens? I give China great credit.” Campaigning in 2024, he said he would welcome the arrival of Chinese automakers, a position he reiterated this past January in Detroit: “If they want to come in and build the plant and hire you and hire your friends and your neighbors, that’s great. I love that. Let China come in.” Indeed, he may even view such investment as a prize worthy of concessions.

A trillion-dollar infusion of capital would exceed the total direct investment in the United States made by any other country since the Declaration of Independence. Even a fraction of that amount would blow apart what remains of our economic defenses, weakening national security and supply-chain resilience, handing the Chinese Communist Party a powerful tool with which to subvert our market, undermining the basic logic of the president’s own trade agenda and kneecapping our efforts at rebuilding domestic industry.

In recent weeks, Mr. Greer and Howard Lutnik, the commerce secretary, have both cast doubt on accepting Chinese investment. With Mr. Trump, though, it’s always hard to know what’s a firm no and what’s a negotiating posture. If he continues on his current course, the president who did more than anyone else to call out the danger of the China relationship could become the one to embed that relationship, and that danger, into the foundation of the nation’s economy.

China has changed a great deal in recent decades. It has grown wealthier and become a global leader in technology. It has moved no closer, however, to market democracy.

Whereas American companies pursue their own goals with relatively little political interference or concern for the national interest, Chinese companies operate at the pleasure of the Chinese Communist Party and succeed when the party wants them to. If the party decides to dominate an industry, it can offer virtually unlimited financial support and access to a virtually unlimited labor pool, as it has done for companies engaged in rare earth processing, at the beginning of the supply chain, as well as iPhone assembly, at the end of it, and many others in between. If a company’s success is no longer deemed to be in the interest of the party, support vanishes, investigations start, executives land in jail. No rights stand above the obligation to serve the state.

As Robert O’Brien, the national security adviser in Mr. Trump’s first term, put it, the idea that “individuals are merely a means to be used toward the achievement of the ends of the collective nation state” remains “as fundamental to the Chinese Communist Party as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are to us as Americans.”

Welcoming that model to our shores would be a catastrophe for the United States. The U.S. auto industry is Exhibit A.

Consider what happened when China invited some of the crown jewels of American industry, like General Electric, Intel and Tesla, to set up shop across the Pacific. In exchange for that market access, the American companies willingly shared their technology with Chinese businesses, which, having gotten what they needed, began to push the Americans out.

China ran its playbook to perfection on Tesla, using a tariff on cars manufactured in other countries and subsidies for those produced domestically to lure Elon Musk to Shanghai in 2017. Tesla got generous subsidies, a sweetheart deal on premium industrial land and quick approval on all necessary infrastructure and regulatory matters — for just long enough to allow Chinese engineers to learn about the company’s innovations, then head off to share them with Chinese competitors. That’s when China withdrew the subsidies. By 2025, Tesla was getting steamrolled in China as sales plummeted and its market share fell below 5 percent.

The United States cannot run that playbook in reverse. If those Chinese companies come to the United States, they will share no technology that the party does not want shared. To the contrary, there is ample reason to fear that they would use their new perch to steal American technology and gather sensitive data on American citizens, our economy and our infrastructure. Indeed, China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law doesn’t just grant China’s intelligence services access to all private-sector business data; it affirmatively imposes the obligation that “any organization or citizen shall support, assist and cooperate with the state intelligence work.”

In recent years, prominent Chinese firms and Chinese nationals have been accused in countless incidents, such as stealing software source code from an American supplier, removing equipment from an American lab and even digging up proprietary seeds from a test field in Iowa. Now they’d be doing it with a hall pass from the American government. And American companies striving to maximize profit in a free market would be up against competitors bolstered by almost limitless subsidies from Beijing and with no obligation to turn a profit at all.

The problem isn’t foreign investment per se. Mr. Trump has been right to pursue major investment commitments from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan as part of trade negotiations, just as President Ronald Reagan used the threat of an import quota to force Japanese automakers to invest in building their first U.S. factories in the early 1980s. Those countries are market democracies, and their economies run on the same general principles as ours. So when their companies set up shop here, they operated the way you’d expect an American company to operate: They established assembly plants, then expanded supply chains and eventually opened research and development centers as well. Today, those companies pursue profit by creating good jobs across the supply chain for hundreds of thousands of Americans and competing fairly against American carmakers for their share of the market. Honda is a leading sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Team.

China is a different story. Thanks in no small measure to the U.S. technology it appropriated, China now has the world’s best electric vehicles, and leads in nearly all other advanced industrial technologies as well. Allowed into the United States, Chinese carmakers will flood the market with cars that American firms cannot make and sell for anywhere near a comparable price. “The existential risk to the U.S. auto industry isn’t Chinese E.V.s alone. It’s the combination of sustained government support, vertically integrated supply chains and speed,” said Elizabeth Krear, the chief executive of the Center for Automotive Research. And once these companies devastate the U.S. auto industry, Beijing could decide to pull back leading-edge technologies, or relocate production back to China altogether, leaving the United States with fewer jobs, a weaker industrial base and no choice but to import.

Cars present the most obvious example, but the same logic will apply to any other industry opened to Chinese investment. Vulnerability to China’s control over particular inputs like critical minerals has already proved a disaster for American security and resilience. Allowing China to develop vertically integrated control over entire supply chains on both sides of the Pacific would multiply that disaster many times over; it would be as damaging as the choice to welcome China into the World Trade Organization a generation ago.

Mr. Trump’s broader reset of the global trading system would collapse, too. Since he took office last January, his negotiators have steadily increased pressure on trading partners to match the United States’ tariff rates on China and reject investment controlled by the People’s Republic. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned European leaders in April that choosing to team up with China rather than the United States “would be cutting your own throat.”

But how does that threat work if Mr. Trump welcomes huge Chinese investment, treating it as an important achievement? If the United States adopts a strategy of just pursuing the best deal it can get with China, there is no chance that our trading partners will hold their own line.

Mr. Xi undoubtedly understands the stakes. His position on the matter is considered so central to Chinese ideology that it has been written into the curriculum of the People’s Liberation Army. According to one textbook, “Xi Jinping has emphasized that our state’s ideology and social system are fundamentally incompatible with the West. Xi has said, ‘This determines that our struggle and contest with Western countries is irreconcilable, so it will inevitably be long, complicated and sometimes even very sharp.’”

The textbook calls for luring adversaries into exactly the lopsided deal that China is now proposing: “We must gain a grip on foreign government leaders and their business elites by encouraging our companies to invest in their local economies.” If Mr. Trump grants Mr. Xi that grip, he will lose his own hold on the era’s key strategic conflict, entranced by China’s siren song as foolishly as the “globalists” he made his name railing against, this time with consequences more irreversible.

The grand bargain that Mr. Trump wants, establishing a balanced economic relationship between the two nations, is not one that he can get, because the relationship is not one that can exist. The asymmetry of the two economic systems guarantees that any deal with China ends with the United States ripped off. Any uaccomplished deal maker also knows when to walk away. (Is Trump About to Invite In the Biggest Predator in the World?)

This is entirely correct.

All that President Trump is interested in is a “good deal” as the bottom line for him has always been about the bottom line financially. He is blind to the fact that “good relationship” with a Communist dictator is impossible and that every single dollar of Communist Chinese “investment” in the United States of America is not about advancing a “balance” system of trade between the two nations but obtaining control of this country’s entire ecosystem of commerce and culture, including buying up farmland near American military installations and also to control Americans’ access to the crops grown in their own country so that the food supply chain will become dependent on pleasing the CCP’s paid managers embedded on this country’s soil.

By way of reiteration, Trump thinks that foreign relations is just about making a “good deal” and that “good” personal relations takes care of making the “good deals.” The president conducted himself in a transactional manner as a businessman and he has not yet learned—nor may ever learn—that Communists may smile and put on a grand state dinner but they want things done their way and are thus interested in any kind of compromise, especially when they sense that an adversary does not understand what motivates them and how they operate strictly by an ideological playbook that has nothing to do personal niceties and everything to do with global economic, political, and military domination.

While the president did raise the imprisonment of Jimmy Lai for his opposition to the Communist regime in Hong Kong, he did not play “hardball” with Xi Jinping when the latter refused to consider releasing a “nemesis” who has dared to criticize him when Trump could have threatened to expel all Chinese nationals studying and professor teaching in American universities as every single one of these people have a mission to gain as much knowledge about this country as possible to probe areas of vulnerability, to propagandize in behalf of the CCP and recruit potential candidates for public office in the United States of America who, if elected do everything the “party” tells them to do.

Case in point:

The mayor of a Los Angeles suburb resigned Monday, as U.S. officials announced that she will plead guilty in federal court to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government.

Federal prosecutors announced Monday that Eileen Wang, 58, of Arcadia, Calif., has been charged with one count of acting in the U.S. as an illegal agent of a foreign government and is “expected to plead guilty in the coming weeks.” The charge is punishable with up to 10 years in prison.

“Mayor Wang admitted to acting as a foreign agent from at least 2020 through 2022 - promoting PRC propaganda in the U.S. and acting at PRC’s direction to promote their interests,” FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X. “FBI and our federal partners continue to move aggressively to root out this kind of influence in American institutions all over the country.”

Wang was elected in November 2022 to the five-member Arcadia City Council, where the mayor is selected on a rotating basis. City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto said in a statement Monday that Wang, who became mayor in February, has resigned from the council.

“The allegations at the center of this case, that a foreign government sought to exert influence over a local elected official, are deeply troubling,” Lazzaretto said, though he clarified that the charge against Wang is for actions that ended after her swearing-in, and that, after an internal review, the council can confirm that no Arcadia City finances, staff, or decision-making processes were involved.

In a statement to the Courthouse News Service, Wang’s attorney Brian Sun said that the California politician “apologizes and is sorry for the mistakes she has made in her personal life,” adding: “Her love and devotion for the Arcadia community have not changed and did not waver.”

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a track record of attempting to influence other countries’ affairs to advance its interests. It has meddled in elections, targeted overseas Chinese dissidents, and conducted information and propaganda campaigns, according to government and journalistic reports.

“Individuals in our country who covertly do the bidding of foreign governments undermine our democracy,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli in the Monday announcement, adding that the plea agreement Wang has entered into is “the latest success in our determination to defend the homeland against China’s efforts to corrupt our institutions.”

Here’s what to know.

Who is Eileen Wang?

Eileen Wang is a Chinese immigrant. According to a 2024 report in the Los Angeles Times, Wang said she moved to Southern California from China three decades ago. Wang told the paper that her mother was a Chinese medicine and acupuncture doctor, while her father was a physician in Sichuan province before working at the University of Southern California.

The LA Times report added that Wang, a mother of two, had been based in Arcadia for about two decades, and was mainly known for running an after-school program in the city called Little Stanford Academy before entering politics. About 59% of Arcadia’s 54,000 population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, is Asian, while over 42% is ethnically Chinese.

Wang is the former fiancée of Yaoning “Mike” Sun, who was sentenced to four years in federal prison earlier this year for similarly acting as a covert agent for China, including, according to the U.S. Justice Department at the time, while he was serving as a campaign adviser for an unnamed candidate “who was elected to the city council of a Southern California city.” Sun was Wang’s former campaign adviser.

In November 2021, Wang communicated with John Chen, who was sentenced in November 2024 to 20 months in federal prison for acting as an illegal agent of the Chinese government in the U.S. and bribing a tax authority agent. Chen, according to court documents, previously attended high-level CCP functions, and had personally met Chinese President Xi Jinping. The plea agreement said that Wang asked Chen to share an article from her website, saying, “This is what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to send.”

Wang admitted in the plea agreement that she did not notify the Attorney General that she was acting in the U.S. as an agent of China, as is required by law, and that she did not disclose that content posted on her website were based on orders from Chinese authorities.

Chinese espionage

The FBI’s website says that China employs “tactics that seek to influence lawmakers and public opinion to achieve policies that are more favorable” to them and called counterintelligence and economic espionage efforts from the Chinese government and the CCP a “grave threat to the economic well-being and democratic values of the United States.”

In 2025, the House Committee on Homeland Security issued a report that found more than 60 cases of Chinese espionage or repression in the U.S. since 2021, including sending sensitive U.S. military information to the Chinese government, stealing trade secrets, and carrying out transnational repression schemes including setting up undercover Chinese police stations–which it has reportedly done worldwide.

In April, the White House also accused China of stealing on an “industrial scale” the intellectual property of U.S. artificial intelligence labs, as both countries race to become global leaders of AI. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R, Iowa) said in a statement last month that China steals between $400 billion and $600 billion of IP yearly, or about $5,000 per taxpayer.

China has routinely refuted interference, espionage, and theft accusations. It also denied that it had overseas police stations that collect information on and harass Chinese dissidents living in the U.S. and elsewhere, claiming instead that it had service centers for citizens abroad.

Chinese Communist Party spies, schools spreading their propaganda and influence campaigns against politicians are rife across the US.

In just the past week before President Trump landed for a summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, the mayor of Arcadia, California, Eileen Wang, resigned after pleading guilty to working as a foreign agent for China.

In New York City, Lu “Harry” Jianwang, a Chinatown community leader, was convicted in Brooklyn federal court for operating a secret Chinese Communist Party (CCP) police station. Meanwhile, Chinese divorcee Changli “Sophia” Luo was charged with blackmailing the billionaire owner of a basketball team.

Luo — who allegedly attempted to shake down Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens for more than a billion dollars — was arrested after booking a flight to Hong Kong, then being bailed out of jail by Robin Mui, a Chinese foreign agent, according to court papers. She has pleaded not guilty.

Mui is the New York-based CEO of Sing Tao, a pro-CCP newspaper. He traveled to China in 2014 with Eric Adams, who would later become New York City mayor, and Adams’ controversial former Asian affairs adviser Winnie Greco, whose Bronx home was raided by the FBI in 2024. She has never faced charges following the raid.

This is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Kevin Hecht, a retired FBI agent who spent 20 years investigating Chinese counterintelligence.

Here are the tactics the totalitarian Chinese regime employs in the US, both legal and illegal:

Honeytraps

It has yet to be proven if Luo is a Chinese spy. However, it must be noted that similar apparent extortion schemes are deployed in the US every day against high-powered businessmen by Russia, China and any number of other governments.

AMC cinema boss Adam Aron fell victim to one of these traps, while actor Jeremy Renner has fought back against claims from a Chinese filmmaker, Yi Zhou, who said he sent her nudes and threatened to have her deported — claims that Renner denies.

Suspicious of honeytrapping, the Biden administration prevented any US government officials in China from having sex with Chinese women. Trump has continued the same prohibition.

Political appointees

Wang faces up to 10 years in prison for promoting Chinese propaganda in the US and promoting the Communist Party’s interests. She and her handler and co-conspirator, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, promoted People’s Republic of China content on a website they created aimed at the local Chinese community from 2022 to 2024, according to plea deals they both reached with US prosecutors.

Other influence operations are more subtle, such as that of Linda Sun. The former director of Asian-American affairs for New York’s ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a top aide to his successor, Gov. Kathy Hochul, is accused of forging Hochul’s signature on official letters in an attempt to steer state policy in favor of Chinese national interests. Her case ended in a mistrial last year.

“If a group in Long Island was going to have a Taiwan day, it was her job to make sure that it fell through and that the governor would not recognize it,” Hecht told The Post.

Sun also allegedly encouraged Hochul to film a Lunar New Year video advertising China’s New York Consulate, and told her handlers in a Jan. 25, 2021, letter that the then-lieutenant governor “is much more obedient than the governor,” according to the court documents.

In California, Christine Fang stands accused of being a Chinese spy. She allegedly infiltrated the office of disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who suspended his campaign for Golden State governor and resigned from Congress last month.

Fang, also known as “Fang Fang,” allegedly developed “extensive” ties with Swalwell starting when he was a Dublin City Council member, bundling donations for his 2014 re-election campaign and even recommending staff for his office, according to reports.

“Nothing even makes me blink anymore,” said Hecht. “If you are anybody in politics, China is going to send a Chinese woman to try to blackmail you.”

Hacking

China has a huge state-sponsored computer hacking operation. Last year, US authorities in New York City charged 10 Chinese nationals with a hacking operation targeting media companies and the New York state Assembly, as well as foreign ministries in Taiwan, India and South Korea.

The years-long campaign was conducted at the direction of the CCP by China-based companies, including i-Soon, a Shanghai private cybersecurity firm, according to the Department of Justice.

From 2016 through 2023, i-Soon and some of its employees engaged in “the numerous and widespread hacking of email accounts, cell accounts, cell phones, servers and websites” at the direction of the Ministry of State Security and other Chinese government agencies, legal papers say.

The Chinese government targeted the hacking victims because they had been critical of the government, and had been in communication with the US government, according to a Department of Justice press release.

Confucius Institutes

Since 2004, China has funded educational Confucius Institutes at US colleges that teach Chinese language and culture classes. By 2020, there were 75 operating in the United States, 65 of which were active on US university campuses. Those groups sponsored over 500 classrooms on K-12 campuses too, according to the US Department of State.

The American Association of University Professors in 2014 said the institutes “function as an arm of the Chinese state.”

The National Association of Scholars also found Confucius faculty are pressured to self-censor, and some universities are given financial incentives not to criticize China. They also present a “selective” knowledge of Chinese history, avoiding Tibet, Taiwan, the Tiananmen Square uprising and state human rights abuses.

The State Department claimed the centers “push out skewed Chinese language and cultural training for US students as part of Beijing’s multifaceted propaganda efforts.”

Although the official number of US Confucius Institutes has dwindled to 10, sources warn they have simply rebranded.

Operation Fox Hunt

Beijing began Operation Fox Hunt, the CCP’s massive effort to repatriate dissidents around the world, in 2014. The CCP set up more than 100 police stations in foreign countries and tried to use local law enforcement and private investigators to crack down on Chinese dissidents.

In New Jersey, retired NYPD sergeant and private investigator Michael McMahon was convicted of acting as an illegal agent for China in a scheme to harass an anti-regime New Jersey resident. After serving 18 months in prison, he was pardoned by Trump last year.

“The CCP knows exactly what our vulnerabilities are and embedded themselves in every aspect of our justice system and political landscape,” said McMahon’s wife, Martha, author of “How My NYPD Hero Cop Husband Turned PI Was Falsely Prosecuted by the FBI.”

In Manhattan, The Post was first to reveal that Harry Lu’s nonprofit, America Changle Association, operated a Chinese police station above a noodle shop on East Broadway.

“The Chinese police stations are nothing compared to everything else the CCP is doing,” said Hecht. “[The police stations] were never a threat to our national security, but when you get to spies getting into governmental entities, the military and tech sector, spying, there’s a lot.”

Espionage

In addition to trying to influence politicians, Chinese operatives have been convicted of industrial espionage. Earlier this year, Linwei Ding, a former Google software engineer, was found guilty of seven counts of economic espionage and seven counts of theft of trade secrets — including thousands of pages of Google trade secrets that were stolen to help China’s AI sector, court papers say.

Last year, Yunhai Li, a Chinese doctor, was arrested at a Texas airport for allegedly trying to smuggle US-funded cancer research out of the country. Li was employed as a researcher at MD Anderson Cancer Center since 2022, and had been working on a vaccine to prevent breast cancer from spreading to other parts of the body before abruptly resigning in July 2025 and allegedly uploading the research to a Chinese server on his computer. He pleaded guilty to the theft and was sentenced to a year in prison earlier this year.

In January, Chinese-American US Navy sailor Jinchao Wei was sentenced to 16 years in prison for selling national defense information to an intelligence officer working for China for $12,000, according to federal court filings.

“It’s all low-hanging fruit,” said Hecht, referring to the instances of CCP espionage and theft that have been made public over the years. “The stuff that China is doing that hasn’t made the press is far more complicated, and far worse.”

Farmland

Chinese investors have also been rushing to buy US farmland close to military installations. In 2024, The Post identified up to 384,000 acres of Chinese-owned land in close proximity to at least 19 bases across the country. (That’s a total of 600 square miles, or twice the size of all the land in New York City combined.)

Those include some of the military’s most strategically important bases: Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina (home of the Airborne and Special Operations Forces); Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas (the nation’s largest active-duty armored military site); Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California (a key amphibious training site), and MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida (home of CENTCOM and much more).

“These locations can be used to set up intelligence collection sites and the owners can be influential in local politics, as we have seen in the past,” Robert S. Spalding III, a retired US Air Force brigadier general, told The Post at the time.

"It’s time for Congress to vote to release Eric Swalwell’s FBI file," Article III Project President Mike Davis said. "His counterintelligence risks must be staggering." Reports have highlighted a "staggering" amount of foreign funding flowing into U.S. universities, particularly from China, raising concerns about transparency, research security and potential influence over academic programs.

Some officials have pointed to China-linked initiatives and partnerships operating in schools, including programs critics say could expose students to foreign government messaging.

American schools are for education, not espionage," Rep. Aaron Bean said while introducing legislation aimed at exposing foreign funding in classrooms.

The proposed TRACE Act would require schools to disclose foreign funding, contracts and curriculum materials tied to foreign entities, with supporters arguing parents have a right to know.

Federal authorities have also investigated reports of alleged Chinese "police stations" operating inside the United States, including in New York City.

Concerns about Chinese influence inside U.S. political offices date back years, including a case involving the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

In 2014, the FBI alerted Feinstein that a longtime staffer in her California office, who also served as a liaison to the Chinese American community, had drawn attention from Chinese intelligence and may have been targeted for recruitment.

The outposts were accused of monitoring, harassing or pressuring Chinese nationals living abroad, in some cases allegedly attempting to coerce individuals to return to China.

U.S. officials have warned that such operations, if confirmed, would represent a direct extension of foreign law enforcement activity on American soil and a serious breach of U.S. sovereignty. (China poised to embed 'Communist Party spies' inside US firms — including Microsoft, critics warn. Please see Former CIA director warns Canada is deeply infiltrated by Chinese Communist agents for how the CCP has infiltrated Canada.)

Many leaders of multinational corporations have been more than willing to do the bidding of the Red Chinese government. Indeed, many, including in the so-called entertainment industry, have been obsequious in this regard, and this is to say nothing about how those in the so-called "public health" sector follow the Red Chinese lead concerning the Wuhan Virus that leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology nearly seven years ago.

Donald John Trump seems not to remember these fact or, if he does, to sublimate them in favor of an illusory “deal” that can by definition only suit the purposes of the CCP.

Furthermore, the president is either ignorant about or dismissive the Red Chinese policies of persecuting faithful Chinese Catholics in the underground who have been sold “out” by four successive “popes” (see "Some Kind of Oppression"), their draconian programs of forced population control (one child per family, forced abortions) at various times in the past sixty-six and one-half years that have resulted in a decline of the Chinese birth rate, and the harvesting of the organs of political prisoners and of religious minorities that continue to this very day under the leadership of one of the “world’s great leaders,” Xi Jinping:

Any reader who comes to Ethan Gutmann’s “The Xinjiang Procedure” needs to be warned that this book offers a horror scenario more intense and severe than any terror-tinged work by Stephen King. It also provides the most brilliantly researched and intensely described study of a communist regime at war against its population since Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s “The Gulag Archipelago.”

Unlike King’s novels, “The Xinjiang Procedure” presents a true-life horror story of imprisoned and enslaved people whose bodies are defiled for a lucrative organ-harvesting economy. In the spirit of Solzhenitsyn’s towering work, Gutmann details the vile culture of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in its systematic torture and murder of Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region, Tibetans, ethnic Kazakhs, and Christians who worship in unsanctioned “house churches.”

The actions described in this book represent a deranged and vile environment unlike anything else happening in today’s world. Gutmann first focused on this egregious human rights abuse in his 2014 book “The Slaughter.”

In his newest book, he interviews refugees from Xinjiang who provide accounts of their people’s suffering at the hands of the regime in their homeland.

Money-Making Machine

The book details how the Chinese live organ-harvesting economy began in the early 1990s. The donors are prisoners from demographic groups that the CCP views as a threat. The organ recipients can pay up to $700,000 for the transplants.

The Chinese regime operates a lucrative foreign organ “tourism” business. Chinese hospitals, mostly those linked to the military, advertise their services on English- and Arabic-language websites and conduct at least 60,000 transplants annually.

The tragedy of “The Xinjiang Procedure” is realizing that this gruesome activity is not a secret, nor has it been for decades. Gutmann acknowledges how Falun Gong practitioners have been documenting the CCP’s actions. He also credits Israel’s Dr. Jacob Lavee for highlighting how a killing-on-demand process enables Chinese hospitals to schedule emergency transplants with a wait time of only four hours. (‘The Xinjiang Procedure’: Inside China’s Organ Harvesting Nightmare.)

Jan Jekielek’s new book “Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry & The True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary” (Skyhorse) starts with a ghoulish hypothetical: An American woman is in kidney failure. She begins the onerous process of getting on a transplant list, which can stretch on for years, as her health begins to deteriorate. She’ll likely be on painful dialysis or dead before a match comes through.

One day someone suggests the “China option” — i.e., bypassing the American healthcare system and getting one straight from the Middle Kingdom.

What does this mean?

For $30,000 she can book an appointment (seemingly at her convenience), fly to Shanghai, check into the hospital, and come home two weeks later with a healthy, perfectly compatible kidney. No waiting lists, no health screenings, no questions asked.

It’s a seemingly happy, even miraculous, story — until one uncomfortable query is raised. Where did the kidney come from?

Jekielek’s answer in this scenario: It would likely come from a Falun Gong prisoner. This prisoner would have no right to object. He or she would not even know it was occurring until they were on the operating table. And they would also not survive the procedure.

Could this really be happening? And could it be so widespread that any random foreigner with $30,000 — or as much as $180,000 — could procure their own kidney, or liver, or cornea, without anyone in China breaking much of a sweat? (Except, perhaps, the victim.)

Falun Gong, the Chinese spiritual movement best known in the US for its Shen Yun performing arts group, has long been at war with the Chinese Communist Party. Organ harvesting is the most serious accusation in the war between the two, and Jekielek, a senior editor at the Falun Gong media organization, The Epoch Times, is a stalwart warrior in the battle.

Organ extraction from condemned prisoners has been a documented phenomenon coming out of China for a while. Though the details remain disputed, Human Rights Watch was issuing reports about state organ procurement as early as the 1990s.

Such practice is said to have spiked in the early 1980s thanks to the introduction of the immunosuppressant Cyclosporine A, which made transplants much safer, according to HRW. Reporters like Ethan Gutmann in his 2014 book “The Slaughter” have attempted to illuminate the practices.

In 2014, China promised to stop using the organs of executed prisoners without their previous consent and the consent of their next of kin. Whether China actually followed through with this, however, is very much an unsettled question.

Jekielek has no doubts that the practice is as alive and destructive as ever.

“The industry grows geometrically,” Jekielek told The Post. “They dehumanize the Falun Gong — it’s frankly straight out of Germany in the 1930s.”

Even more shocking and gratuitous is that, after the organ is extracted, the victim is allegedly disposed of. In an account given to The Epoch Times, which Jekielek reproduced in his book, a hospital worker reported that “her ex-husband removed corneas from detained Falun Gong practitioners and that the remains went straight to the incinerator for cremation.”

Still, an accusation of this magnitude depends on facts and data, and how many such prisoners are trapped in this nightmare remains unknown.

“The key part of it … is that it’s very large scale,” Jekielek said. “It’s not 100, or 1,000, but tens of thousands per year — unambiguously.”

Many agree with Jekielek. A 2019 international conference set up by human rights lawyers called the China Tribunal concluded the practice still goes on. And last year Congress passed the Falun Gong Protection Act, which accused the People’s Republic of China of forced organ harvesting. (It has not yet cleared the Senate.)

But the lack of data might explain why such a sickening phenomenon is virtually invisible in the mainstream media.

“Part of the reason is, it’s unbelievable,” Jekielek admitted. “It’s like sci-fi. Did you ever see that movie ‘The Island’? It’s sort of like that.”

In 2005’s “The Island,” starring Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor, the main characters discover that they’ve been cloned as spare parts for a richer, more established version of themselves. Reading “Killed to Order,” the film is definitely called to mind.

But the discriminating reader will also note that much of the evidence in the book has flaws, or at least can’t be fully corroborated. And it must be pieced together to reveal the picture that Jekielek is sketching.

Among the most critical testimonies is that of Cheng Pei Ming, a Falun Gong practitioner who was detained and sentenced to eight years in prison for “using a heretical religion to undermine law enforcement,” according to China Daily.

Ming tells the story of being anesthetized against his will at a prison in Heilongjiang Province before waking up coughing and in pain. Two years later, he was transferred to a hospital and prepped for another surgery to remove a blade he supposedly ingested. He managed to escape before the procedure when his guards fell asleep without cuffing him to his bed, and eventually made his way to Thailand in 2015 and, five years later, America — where subsequent tests reveal that part of his liver and a portion of his lung were gone.

In the book, Ming is described by Jekielek as “the first known survivor of China’s organ harvesting program.”

Wait a minute … “First?”

Not that a big, well-organized state wouldn’t do everything within its power to squelch an account like that. But if the program is as widespread as Jekielek claims, an account coming this infrequently is a big red flag.

When Sovietologists were attempting to demonstrate the cruelty and prevalence of the Gulags, there was a ubiquitous amount of testimony — from Varlam Shalamov to Yevgenia Ginzburg to, of course, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Likewise, the Polish underground fighter Jan Karski was famously trying to alert the Roosevelt administration about the Holocaust, and accounts of atrocities made it into the pages of The New York Times (mostly towards the back, but still.)

The timing is also off. Ming was sentenced to prison in 2002 and he escaped in 2006 — which would make it well before China’s pledge to stop using prisoners without their consent. (He was in hiding until escaping to Thailand.)

Jekielek anticipates objections and tries to quell them.

“Transplant volumes didn’t drop” after 2015, Jekielek writes. “They stayed high or rose.”

It makes a certain amount of sense that, if China cut off one form of donation, the numbers of transplants would dip. The fact that the number of donors would nevertheless level off or rise at that moment is, indeed, suspicious. But not hard proof.

Likewise, Jekielek writes, numbers are “not exaggerated; if anything, the estimates are conservative. Investigators used China’s own official data — hospital beds, approved transplant centers, surgeon reports, massive hospital expansions.”

And while Ming is the one survivor that Jekielek quotes, there is other corroborating evidence.

“Killed to Order” recounts the story of the Israeli cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Jacob Lavee, who had a patient in need of a heart transplant. After fruitlessly waiting for a donor, Lavee’s patient told him: “Look, I’m tired of waiting. I’m going to China to get the heart I need in two weeks. They’ve already scheduled it.”

The fact that a surgery for a matching heart can be scheduled is extraordinary. A heart donor is typically either brain dead or deceased within hours. When Lavee pieced together the explanation, he was agog.

Of course, there have been grotesque, inhumane and unbelievable things that have come out of Beijing ever since the establishment of the People’s Republic, from the cultural revolution and the great Chinese famine. And while it’s difficult to grant the Chinese government the benefit of the doubt about something this diabolical, sourcing, details, testimony and evidence also matter.

That something like this is conceivable is certainly true. It has happened. But at this scale? The answer to that remains a mystery. (New book claims China is harvesting prisoners’ organs and selling them to foreigners.)

The author of this review of Jan Jekielek’s Killed to Order that whole deadly business of vital organ “donation” and transplantation was founded on a Harvard College of Medicine’s invention of the myth of “brain death” was the result of providing an ex post facto “ethical” justification for what Drs. Christian and Marius Barnard did in 1967 by extracting the beating heart out of the body of the comatose Denise Darvall to put “transplanted” into the body of Louis Warshansky in Cape Town, South Africa (see Accept the Myth of "Brain Death" and Live with the Body Snatchers' Unrestrained Use of Vivisection).

A human heart extracted from the body of a cadaver is useless for transplantation. The lie of “brain death” requires the vivisection of a living human being while the victim is anesthetized to make the “operation” possible. There is no need to anesthetize a corpse, is there?

The barbaric practices employed by the Red Chinese is the logical result of the birth of the organ harvesting market following the invention of “brain death” in 1968, and was documented by Dr. Harry Wu over thirty years ago.

Dr. Harry Wu, who was imprisoned in a Red Chinese slave labor camp for nineteen years, said at a conference in Montvale, New Jersey, in 1987 at which I was also a speaker that it was a common practice in the laogais (Red Chinese slave labor camps) for political prisoners and other prisoners to be dissected without anesthesia while they were alive for their vital body parts. Obviously, this was a form of execution for those prisoners. The Red Chinese finally got around to admitting this when they instituted a Red Cross-sponsored program for "voluntary" organ donation in their so-called "people's republic:"

China launched a national organ donation system yesterday in a bid to gradually shake off its long-time dependence on executed prisoners as a major source of organs for transplants and as part of efforts to crack down on organ trafficking.

The system, operated mainly by the Red Cross Society of China with assistance from the Ministry of Health, will begin as pilot projects in 10 provinces and cities.

"The system is in the public interest and will benefit patients regardless of social status and wealth in terms of fairness in organ allocation and better procurement," said Vice-Minister of Health Huang Jiefu.

Under the system, the Red Cross is responsible for encouraging post-death organ donations among the public, receiving donor registrations, keeping a database, starting a fund to provide financial assistance for needy, surviving families of donors and overseeing the allocation of donated organs according to set principles.

"Transplants should not be a privilege for the rich," Huang said.

The late, famous Chinese actor Fu Biao received two liver transplants within several months in 2005, raising doubts about the fairness of organ allocation, given that the waiting time for the general public can be years - even if one is lucky enough to get a match, let alone have a second surgery.

Currently about one million people in China need organ transplants each year while only 1 percent receive one, official statistics show.

Only about 130 people on the mainland have signed up to donate their organs since 2003, according to research on the promotion of organ donation after death by professor Chen Zhonghua with the Institute of Organ Transplantation of Tongji Hospital.

The system will help find more willing donors who didn't know how to donate, said Jiang Yiman, the society's deputy director at the launch yesterday in Shanghai. "The Chinese have a tradition of helping others in need and the potential of organ donations from the public is yet to be tapped," she said.

Organ donors

Executed prisoners, who experts estimate account for more than 65 percent of total donors, "are definitely not a proper source for organ transplants," said Vice-Minister Huang.

That the rights of death-row prisoners to donate is fully respected and written consent from them is required, he told China Daily.

Qian Jianmin, chief transplant surgeon with the Shanghai Huashan Hospital, said hospitals performing transplants not only treat patients getting organs from executed prisoners, but have to deal with other levels of government, including the justice department.

"Corruption can arise during the process," he said.

Some just ignore legal procedures regarding organ donations from executed prisoners and make a fat profit, Huang said.

All costs are passed on to patients. Sometimes the recipient pays up to 200,000 yuan ($29,000) for a kidney, not including other medical services.

China issued an organ transplant law in 2007 that bans organ trafficking and only allows donations from living people to blood relatives and spouses, plus someone considered "emotionally connected."

However, organ middlemen have been faking documents in order to make a person who is desperately in need of money be considered "emotionally connected" to the recipients, reports said.

Living transplants increased to 40 percent of total transplants from 15 percent in 2006, Chen Zhonghua said.

"That's one of the daunting tasks facing us as we try to end the organ trade by establishing this system," Huang noted.

Other goals include preventing organ tourism, improving transplant quality, better defining donors' rights and satisfying patients' needs for transplants in an ethical manner.

"With more organ donations from the public, the total cost for transplants will decrease," he said.

The exact cost for transplants varies from place to place and largely remains an industry secret. But experts said it's at least 100,000 yuan.

Praise for initiative

"We welcome the emphasis put on fair practice in organ procurement, allocation and transplant, echoing the WHO guiding principles on transplantation," said Luc Noel, coordinator of clinical procedures in the essential health technologies department at World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva.

"China is establishing the national network and authority necessary to initiate and maximize organ donations from deceased donors and thus progress towards the global mainstream in organ donation and transplantation," he said.

The system will be operated at both State and provincial levels. Donated organs would be allocated locally first and then nationally.

"My colleagues and I welcome the system, which will facilitate our efforts to save more patients and help medical workers concentrate more on practicing medicine," said transplant surgeon Qian, whose hospital performs about 150 transplants each year.

Wang Yuling, a young white-collar worker in Beijing, said she'd donate if it really helps someone in need instead of making someone rich.

The pilot projects will take place across the country, including Shanghai, Tianjin, Fujian (Xiamen), Jiangsu (Nanjing), Hubei (Wuhan), Liaoning, Shandong and Jiangxi. The system will then be introduced nationwide, Jiang said.

When asked for a specific timetable when the system will cover the whole country, Huang said the process took 20 years in United States.

"I hope it'll be faster in China. We are still searching for the best way," he said.

"Details about the system, like how to clearly define responsibilities for all stakeholders under the system, including the Red Cross and health administrations, are still under discussion," Jiang said. (Public Call for Organs in Red China.)

Human rights activists said Tuesday that a thriving black market in body parts for transplantation has been illuminated by the arrests of two men on charges of trying to illegally sell organs from executed Chinese prisoners.

The two men, Cheng Yong Wang - who told undercover investigators he had been a prosecutor on Hainan Island in China - and Xingqi Fu - a Chinese citizen living in New York - were seized after meeting with an FBI agent posing as a medical executive.

The undercover agent said he was interested in receiving corneas, kidneys, pancreases, livers, lungs, skin and other organs.

According to court papers, Wang, 41, signed two contracts making him responsible for coordinating with relevant Chinese government agencies and hospitals in securing organs for transplants and would receive a commission amounting to 25 percent of the total cost of each transplant case.

Prosecutors charged that Fu, 35, planned to smuggle corneas into the United States for sale to physicians.

Prosecutors said that earlier in February, prior to a Feb. 20 meeting with the government operative, Wang conferred in a New York hotel room with Harry Wu, a well-known human rights activist who then acted as a government informant. Wang allegedly said he was interested in selling kidneys from executed Chinese prisoners.

“Wang went into business a long time ago,” the human rights activist charged. “His position is prosecutor. He supervised executions, controlled execution sites.”

Sidney Jones, executive director of the Asia division of Human Rights Watch, said that if the charges prove true, “it indicates the organ trade has established itself in the United States.

“This is a practice that has been going on for a long time. Most of the patients have been from Hong Kong and Taiwan where they have been willing to pay a large sum of money to go to China to get the organ transplants,” Jones said. “Now, it is clear, the trade is global.”

n announcing the arrests Monday, U.S. Attorney Jo White said the defendants offered to sell two corneas for $5,000 and Fu had promised the FBI agent that lungs would come from nonsmokers.

“Trafficking and profiteering in human organs is ghoulish, criminal conduct that imperils the most vulnerable,” White said.

Chinese authorities claim that transplants occur only sparingly and only after prisoners who face the death sentence voluntarily agree to donate organs.

This is strongly disputed by Human Rights Watch.

A report issued in 1994 by the group charged that “in recent years, it has become increasingly evident that executed prisoners are the principal source of supply of body organs for medical transplantation purposes in China.”

“The consent of prisoners to use their organs after death, although required by law, appears rarely to be sought,” the report said. (Two Accused of Trying to Sell Bodily Organs from Red China.)

Little details such as the simple fact that it is impossible to take a heart or a liver out of the body of a dead person for the sake transplantation are not included in this news story from China Daily last year. The nasty little secret that the body snatchers don't want most people to know is that living human beings must be killed in order to harvest their hearts or livers for purposes of being transplanted into other human beings. This is true in Red China. It is true in the United States of America. It is true everywhere. Although one can, if one chooses, donate a lung or a kidney, no one can remove a heart or a liver without killing the person from whom such organs are extracted. It is that simple. Moral truth always is simple.

As mentioned just a above, the late Dr. Harry Wu documented the system of the Laogai forced-labor prison camp system in Red China as a result of his own nineteen-year (1960-1979) imprisonment in the manner that Dr. Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn documented the existence and the extent of the brutality, including psychiatric abuses of the most monstrous kind as drawn from his own eight years of imprisonment and torture in twelve different Soviet gulags. Dr, Wu confirmed the fact that aborted babies were served in soup in Chinese restaurants when I asked him about various news reports concerning this barbaric practice in 1997 when we were speakers at a Roman Forum conference in Montvale, New Jersey. Dr. Wu also noted that he personally witnessed political prisoners being carved up for their body parts while they were fully conscious without the pretext of “brain death” used by the merchants of death in the supposedly “civilized” United States of America.

None of this matters one little bit to President Donald John Trump.

After all, Xi Jinping is one of the world’s “great leaders,” a “great guy,” right?

Yet it is, of course, that none of this matters to Trump nor to the titans of the multinational corporations that have made hundreds of billions of dollars by shifting American manufacturing plants and jobs to Red China since President Richard Milhous Nixon and Red Chinese Premier Chou Enlai announced the Shanghai Communique on February 27, 1972:

Both sides view bilateral trade as another area from which mutual benefit can be derived, and agreed that economic relations based on equality and mutual benefit are in the interest of the people of the two countries. They agree to facilitate the progressive development of trade between their two countries. (Shanghai Communique, February 27, 1972. Shanghai Communique.)

Yes, the infamous population-controller himself, President Richard Milhous Nixon (see Poster Boy of Modernity), who was playing the “China Card” against the Soviet Union when he visited Red China from February 21, 1972, to February 28, 1972, that resulted in the aforementioned "Shanghai Communique,” was the one who started the process of “normalizing” diplomatic relations, a process completed by the Great Appeaser, James Earl Carter, Jr., on December 15, 1978.

As noted just above, an important part of the Shanghai Communique was the beginning of commercial ties between the United States of America and the “People’s Republic of China.” Those who supported the sellout of the Republic of China on Taiwan and the beginning of commercial ties with the Chicoms said repeatedly that Red China would become “democratized” over the course of time. This is the same delusion that led some "conservatives" to look favorably upon Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro's efforts to normalize relations with the murderous Castro regime of Cuba in 2015, efforts that were brokered by Jorge the Red Himself, the Great Appeaser of all that is false, ugly, and evil in the world between March 13, 2013, and April 21, 2025.

What drove the American opening to Red China f years ago was not a quest for "liberty." It was a quest for dollars, and since that time multinational corporations have partnered with the Chicoms to exploit Chinese workers, most of whom work for amounts from fifty cents to a dollar an hour in substandard working conditions as they manufacture products filled with a veritable panoply of toxins and slipshod materials.

As was the case when the thirteen English colonies up and down the Atlantic Ocean seaboard in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, the career politicians, bankers, industrialists and other titans of industry, trade and commerce have engineered a situation that has created a new mercantile system based upon the shipment of this country's grain, meat, produce and other raw materials (e.g. cotton and lumber) to be shipped to Red China in order to be produced in final products that are then imported back to the United States of America as Red Chinese laborers work for low wages in wretched conditions and bankers and titans of commerce and industry make lots and lots of money.

The day will soon be here when the CCP, having secured a president who is under their control, will be able to dictate much of what happens in this country without even firing a shot nor even having to launch an invasion of our shores by the so-called “People’s Liberation Army,” and that would be a “bad deal” in human terms but a very good deal within the Providence of God, Who may very well use the Red Chinese as the means to chastise the United States of America for its licentious misuse of liberty to advance moral evils that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.

Father Charles Arminjon wrote the following prophetic words in 1888 in The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life, the book that helped inspire Therese Martin to apply for entrance into the Carmel of Lisieux:

Already, the distant peoples are adopting our inventions, casting rifled guns, and beginning to build armored ships and arsenals. China--that vast empire swarming with people, where, each day, the seas and rivers engulf a huge excess of human beings whom the rich, fertile soil can no longer feed--she has her mechanics, her engineers, and is learning our strategy and industrial progress. Now, have our latest wars not shown that, at the present time, the issue of battles lies above all in numbers, and that, in armies, as in the realm of politics, what determines success and wins the victory is the brutal, inexorable law of superior numbers?

Thus, the hour bids to be not far off when these millions . . . who populate the east and north of Asia will have at their disposal more soldiers, more ammunition, and more military leaders than all other peoples; and the day can be foreseen when, having become fully conscious of their number and strength, they will hurtle themselves in countless hordes upon our Europe, enfeebled and forsaken by God. There will then be invasions more terrible than those of the Vandals and the Huns . . . Provinces will be pillaged, rights violated, and small nations destroyed and ground down like dust. Then, a vast agglomeration of all the inhabitants of the earth will be observed, under the scepter of a single leader, who will be either the Antichrist, or one of his immediate predecessors. That day will see the death of human freedom.

The unity of all peoples will be built, for the last time, upon the ruins of all the suppressed nationalities. The empire of evil will be accomplished. Divine Providence will scourge the world, by subject it, body and soul, to one master . . . who will be moved solely by hatred of men and contempt of God.

Accordingly, any careful observer of the events of the present time cannot escape the conviction that everything is being done to bring about a social environment where the man of sin, by combining in his person all the depravity and very false doctrine of his age, will be produced spontaneously and effortlessly, like the parasitical tapeworm that breeds naturally in the gangrenous flesh and organs.

Yet the apparently incomprehensible thing that, at first sight, no sign seems to presage, is that the seat of his empire will be Jerusalem.

Well, it is easy to see that, if the materialistic, atheistic civilization, whose impending coming the free-thinkers and the irreligious press are always predicting, ever dawns on the world, its center of action and seat of public will be Jerusalem.

In fact, when the Christian Faith has finally died out in the hearts of men--when pleasure and well-being have become the gods of the day--human activity will then have one single goal: the power of the state; one single lever and stimulus: public opinion, one inspiration and driving force: and this stimulus, this sinew, this driving force, will be gold. Gold will take precedence over religion and morality, becoming the basis of politics and the keystone of all institutions. The pontiffs and kings will be the financiers; and the people who possesses the most gold will be the ones who will soon exercise the greatest control over us. (Father Charles Arminjon, The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life, translated by Susan Conroy and Peter McEnerny. Manchester, New Hampshire: Sophia Institute Press, 2008, pp. 59-61.)

Quite prophetic, wouldn't you say?

Quite applicable to our current circumstances today, especially as regards China and the Zionists who occupy Jerusalem.

What more needs to be said?

On the Feast of Saint Ubaldus

Here is Dom Prosper Gueranger’s hagiography of Saint Ubaldus:

In order to honor her Eternal High Priest, the Church presents to him this day the merits of a Pontiff who, after his mortal career, was admitted into a happy Immortality. Ubaldus, here on earth, was the image of our Lord Jesus Christ. Like his Divine Master, he received the holy Anointing of Priesthood; he was a Mediator between God and man; he was the Shepherd of a flock; and now, he is united with our Risen Jesus—the great Anointed, the Mediator, the Shepherd. In proof of his influence in heaven, our Ubaldus has had given to him a special power against the wicked Spirits, who lay snares for our perdition. It has frequently happened that the simple invocation of his name has sufficed to foil their machinations. It is with the view of encouraging the Faithful to have recourse to his protection that the Church has fixed this day as his feast. (Dom Prosper Gureanger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year, Feast of Saint Ubaldus, May 16.)

Ubaldus was born at Gubbio in Umbria, of a noble family. He was, from childhood, formed, in the most admirable way, to piety and learning. When grown up, he was frequently urged to marry; but nothing could shake his resolution of leading a life of celibacy. On being ordained Priest, he divided his fortune between the poor and the Churches, and entered among the Canons Regular of the Order of St. Augustine. He established that Institute in his own country, and was for some time a most fervent observer of all its regulations. The fame of his virtue spread far and wide. Pope Honorius the Second compelled him to accept the charge of the Church of Gubbio; and, accordingly, he was consecrated Bishop.

Having taken possession of his See, he changed little or nothing of his mode of life; but he began to apply himself more than ever to the practice of every virtue, in order that he might the more effectually, both by word and example, procure the salvation of souls, for he was a pattern of the flock in all earnestness. His food was scanty, his dress unpretending, his bed hard and most poor. While always bearing about, in his body, the mortification of the Cross, he every day refreshed his spirit with prayer, in which he seemed insatiable. The result of such life was meekness of so admirable a nature, that he not only bore the worst injuries and insults with patience, but he even treated his persecutors with surprising affection, and showed them all possible kindness.

During the last two years of his life, he suffered much from sickness. In the midst of the most acute pains, whereby he was made pure as gold that is cleansed in the furnace, he ceased not to give thanks to God. Finally, on the holy Feast of Pentecost, after governing for many years, and in a most laudable manner, the Diocese that had been entrusted to him, he slept in peace, venerated for his holy life and miracles. He was canonized by Pope Celestine the Third. God has given him a special power for driving away unclean spirits. His body, which has remained incorrupt for several centuries, is honored with much devotion, by the Faithful of the city of Gubbio, which he has more than once rescued from the calamities that threatened it. (Matins, The Divine Office, Feast of Saint Ubaldus, May 16.)

O blessed Pontiff! be thou our protector against the spirits of hell. They are devoured by envy at seeing how Man, that lowly and feeble creature, has become the object of God’s predilection. The Incarnation of the Son of God, his Death on the Cross, his glorious Resurrection, the Sacraments which give us the life of Grace—all these sublime means, whereby the infinite goodness of God has restored us to our lost dignity, have excited the rage of the old enemy, and he seeks revenge by insulting, in us, the Image of our Creator. At times, he attacks man with all the frenzy of angry jealousy. To mimic the operations of Sanctifying Grace—which, so to speak, makes us the instruments of God’s good pleasure—Satan sometimes takes possession of our fellow creatures, and makes them his slaves. Thy power, O Ubaldus, has often manifested itself by rescuing these unhappy victims of the devil’s jealousy; and holy Church, on this day, celebrates the special prerogative conferred on thee by our Heavenly Father. Relent not in the exercise of thy charitable office. And yet, O holy Pontiff, thou knowest that the snares of the wicked spirits are more injurious to the souls than to the bodies of men. Have pity, then, on the unhappy slaves of sin, who, though the divine Sun of the Pasch has risen upon them, are still in the darkness of guilt. Pray for them, that they may become, once more, Children of the Light, and share in the Easter Resurrection which Jesus offers to all. (Dom Prosper Gureanger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year, Feast of Saint Ubaldus, May 16.)

Saint Ubaldus can help us drive out the devil’s many influences in our own lives, including to temptation to see “victory” where no true victory is to be had and to let down our guard when an apparent “victory” causes men to forget that the legal enshrinement of grave evils can never be any kind of “victory” at all.

The grave evils associated with state-sanctioned crimes against the Ten Commandments—including but not limited to the Fifth, Sixth, and Ninth—will last until such time as the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is made manifest. Although the hour is very late, so late in fact that we may never live to see the restoration of all things in Christ the King during our lifetimes, we must continue, despite our own sins and failings, to plant the seeds for the conversion of men and their nations to Him and his true Catholic Church, which is not and can never be the heresy riddled conciliar sect that is replete with a so-called “pope” and “bishops” who celebrate the sins du jour with as much ready abandon as do the lords of the world and those whose itching ears they always stand so ready to tickle.

We have been given the weapon of Our Lady’s Most Holy Rosary and the shield of her Brown Scapular.

Conscious of our need to make reparation for our own many sins and to live in the world but without being of the world, we take seriously this instruction that Our Lady gave to the Venerable Mary of Agreda about the public manifestation of her Divine Son to Saint John the Baptist, His cousin, herald and precursor, at the Jordan River prior to embarking upon His Public Ministry to accept the sufferings of this time as redeemed creatures eager to make satisfaction in this life for how our sins have offended Divine Justice and thus worsened the state of the Church Militant and of the world-at-large:

272. My daughter, since in relating to thee the works of my most holy Son I so often remind thee how gratefully I appreciated them, thou must understand how pleasing to the Most High is the most faithful care and correspondence on thy part, and the hidden and great blessings enclosed within it. Thou art poor in the house of the Lord, a sinner, insignificant and useless as dust; yet I ask thee to assume the duty of rendering ceaseless gratitude for all the incarnate Word has done for the sons of Adam, and for establishing the holy and immaculate, the powerful and perfect law for their salvation. Especially must thou be grateful for the institution of Baptism by which He frees men from the tyranny of the devil, regenerates them as his children (Jn. 3:5), fills them with grace, clothes them with justice, and assists them to sin no more. This is indeed a duty incumbent upon all men in common, but since creatures neglect it almost entirely I enjoin thee to give thanks for all of them as if thou alone wert responsible for them. Thou art bound to special gratitude to the Lord for other things as well because He has shown Himself so generous to no one among other nations as He has with thee. In the foundation of his holy law and of his Sacraments thou wert present in his memory; He called and chose thee as a daughter of his Church, proposing to nourish thee by his own blood with infinite love.

273. And if the Author of grace, my most holy Son, as a prudent and wise Artificer, in order to found his evangelical Church and lay its first foundations in the sacrament of Baptism, humiliated Himself, prayed, and fulfilled all justice, acknowledging the inferiority of his human nature, and if, though at the same time God and man, He hesitated not to lower Himself to the nothingness of which his purest soul was created and his human being formed, how much must thou humiliate thyself, who hast committed sins and art less than the dust and despicable ashes? Confess that in justice thou dost merit only punishment, the persecution and wrath of all the creatures, and that none of the mortals who has offended his Creator and Redeemer can say in truth that any injustice or offense is done to them if all the tribulations and afflictions of the world from its beginning to its end were to fall upon them. Since all sinned in Adam (I Cor. 15:22), how deeply should they humiliate themselves when the hand of the Lord visits them (Job 19:21)? If thou dost suffer all the afflictions of men with the utmost resignation, and at the same time fulfill all that I enjoin upon thee by my teachings and exhortations with the greatest fidelity, thou nevertheless must esteem thyself as a useless and unprofitable servant (Lk. 17:10). How much then must thou humiliate thyself when thou dost fail in thy duty and in the return due to all the blessings received from God? Since I desire thee to make a proper return both for thyself and for others, think well how much thou art obliged to annihilate thyself to the very dust, not offering any resistance, nor ever being satisfied until the Most High receives thee as his daughter and accepts thee as such in his own presence and in the celestial vision of the triumphant Jerusalem. (New English Edition of The Mystical City of God: Book Five, The Transfixion, Chapter XXIV)

The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph in the end, and it will be upon this triumph that the words Our Lord spoke to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque will be fulfilled:

"I will reign in spite of all who oppose Me." (quoted in The Right Reverend Emile Bougaud. The Life of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, reprinted by TAN Books and Publishers in 1990, p. 361.)
