The Daring Ruse That Exposed China’s Campaign to Steal American Secrets
How the downfall of one intelligence agent revealed the astonishing depth of Chinese industrial espionage.
In March 2017, an engineer at G.E. Aviation in Cincinnati whom I will refer to using part of his Chinese given name — received a request on LinkedIn. Hua is in his 40s, tall and athletic, with a boyish face that makes him look a decade younger. He moved to the United States from China in 2003 for graduate studies in structural engineering. After earning his Ph.D. in 2007, he went to work for G.E., first at the company’s research facility in Niskayuna, N.Y., for a few years, then at G.E. Aviation.
The LinkedIn request came from Chen Feng, a school official at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (N.U.A.A.), in eastern China. Like most people who use LinkedIn, Hua was accustomed to connecting with professionals on the site whom he didn’t know personally, so the request did not strike him as unusual. “I didn’t even think much about it before accepting,” Hua told me. Days later, Chen sent him an email inviting him to N.U.A.A. to give a research presentation.
Trudeau launches an investigation into everything but his government, his party or himself
That was a neat trick the Prime Minister pulled off Monday evening.
I don’t mean just the breathtaking change in communications strategy, on the issue that threatens to devour his government: foreign (specifically Chinese) interference in our elections. The sullen stonewalling of the last several weeks was instantly transformed into a dazzling pinwheel of apparent activity: multiple investigations, a pledge to consult on implementing a foreign agent registry, a promise to appoint a National Counter Foreign Interference Co-ordinator, a vow to start implementing some of the recommendations it had received from previous investigations, etc.
Canada roiled by leaked intelligence reports of Chinese election ‘meddling’
A flurry of leaked intelligence reports has reignited allegations that China interfered in Canada’s recent federal elections, kicking off a fierce debate over possible responses to Beijing’s meddling.
But the leaks also run the risk of harming Canada’s reputation among its allies, experts warn, as the country’s spy agency struggles to respond to mounting public concern.
Opposition leaders have pushed the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, for a public inquiry into how China attempted to sway the result of two federal elections in its favour.
Have there really been 100 “mass shootings” this year?
“There are few things I hate more than getting up first thing in the morning and learning there’s been a mass shooting somewhere overnight.
It’s not because it creates work for me or even necessarily that it renews the gun debate. It’s the senseless loss of life that takes me back to a moment I wish I could forget.”
How Biden Subverts Israeli Democracy
The Movement for Quality Government (MQG) in Israel is the far-left organization at the epicenter of the Israeli left’s war against the Netanyahu government. MQG began its current campaign of delegitimization, subversion and demonization immediately after the Netanyahu government was sworn into office on December 29. The next day, MQG petitioned the Supreme Court to prevent Shas leader Aryeh Deri from serving as a minister in the government.
There was no legal basis for the petition. But that didn’t bother the lawyers at MQG.
CBS Refuses to Cover Violence Against Atlanta Police; ABC, NBC Omits ‘Left-Wing’ Label
On Sunday night, far-left activists (including an SPLC attorney) stormed the site of an Atlanta Police Department training facility and fired off fireworks and Molotov cocktails in the latest attempt by the so-called “Stop Cop City” movement to physically attack and threaten law enforcement. But on the Monday morning flagship morning shows, CBS Mornings couldn’t be bothered with zero seconds during their actual newscast.
Little Christian film called Jesus Revolution has grossed $30.5 million a better domestic take than five of this year’s Best Picture nominees.
After only two weeks in release, a little Christian film called Jesus Revolution has grossed $30.5 million, which is a better domestic take than five of this year’s Best Picture nominees. In fact, it’s a better domestic haul than four of those Best Picture nominees combined.
And only an idiot is surprised by this news.

A Tax on Freedom Of Expression: Report Suggests Bill C-18 Could Be Expanded Even Beyond Mandated Payment for Links
Google was scheduled to appear before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage yesterday to discuss Bill C-18 and its test of the removal of links to Canadian news services for a small percentage of its users, but the meeting was postponed due to technical difficulties. That ensured that the big Bill C-18 news of the day did not come from the hearing, but rather from an exceptional Ricochet Media article featuring comments from Senator Paula Simons that should heighten concern about the government’s intent with Bill C-18. Senator Simons, a longtime journalist and Trudeau appointee to the Senate, raises many concerns with the bill (and a great line that “honest to god, I feel that this is written by people who have never used the Internet”), but I think this is the key passage, which opens the door to targets beyond Google and Facebook …
This where the government is at with Bill C-18. A Canadian can post a quote from a news article on their Facebook page, but if they include a link to the source article, there would be a requirement for the platform to negotiate mandatory payment for linking. pic.twitter.com/8dt618rHaQ

Not entirely sure this would impact blogs like my own, but it seems likely.
Oh, I’ve been suspended from Twitter for calling Junior a China Whore.
I apologize to whores for the hurtful association with Trudeau and the CCP.
US Border Patrol reassigns agents to busy Canada frontier: report
More than two dozen Border Patrol officers have been transferred to the northern border to respond to a historic spike in the number of Mexican immigrants crossing into the United States from Canada, according to a report.
Customs and Border Protection has assigned 25 extra agents to a busy section of the Canadian frontier that borders New York, Vermont and New Hampshire, NBC News reported on Monday, citing an agency spokesperson.
Some of the reassigned agents were pulled from their previous duties on the US-Mexican border, the report said.
For the Liberals’ sake (and democracy) Trudeau needs clearer answers on foreign interference
To understand why Justin Trudeau appeared before reporters on Monday evening to outline new steps in his government’s response to China’s alleged attempts to interfere in Canada’s political process, one only has to take note of what was said about Trudeau in the House of Commons on Monday afternoon.
In the first question period since the controversy over foreign interference came to a boil, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre alleged that “for 10 years the Communist dictatorship in Beijing has been helping the prime minister” and that “we have had 10 years of cover-ups from the prime minister.”
Trudeau needs to resign. He’s a China whore.
We support our schools in being inclusive learning environments for all students … and terrorist supporters
A small protest was held outside the offices of Nova Scotia’s education department, after some students were allegedly told to take off their traditional Palestinian scarves at a Halifax school last week.
A couple dozen people gathered at the offices on Brunswick Street on Monday afternoon, to call for an official apology, investigation and better cultural training in schools.
“Asking them to take off the identity symbol for us is really painful. It’s racism,” said Lana Khammash, the president of the Atlantic Canada Palestinian Society.
Is Gain-of-Function Research a ‘Risk Worth Taking’? Or ‘Insanity’?
For years, our officials—from Anthony Fauci on down—maintained that Covid-19 probably originated from a natural pathway in Wuhan, China. Bats in a wet market, some said.
But according to a new report, the U.S. Energy Department believes the virus likely escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology before going on to kill millions around the world. The FBI and a number of prominent scientists also think Covid may have leaked from the lab, where researchers were allegedly conducting “gain-of-function” experiments on coronaviruses, potentially making them deadlier.
Top US high school collaborated with Chinese state military-affiliated institution
The top public school in the United States received hundreds of thousands of dollars from groups tied to China’s military.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST), part of Fairfax County Public Schools, is consistently ranked as the top high school in the nation. However, this element of its ties to Beijing has been largely unknown — until now.
Canada to my knowledge does not cultivate “top schools” though if they did it would probably be based on how many cross-dressers they could field.
