“China – Communist Slave State”

British security services issued an alert earlier this year stating that a UK-based lawyer had been engaged in “political interference activities” for the Chinese state. MI5’s public naming of Christine Lee, and a recent unprecedented news conference with the FBI, mark a shift in the approach being taken against the security threat posed by China.

It is not normally good news when an MP is summoned to the office of parliament’s director of security. It is worse when officers from MI5 are waiting. That was Labour MP Barry Gardiner’s fate on the morning of 13 January.

“This is not the first time that the NASA administrator has lashed out at China in disregard of facts,” said Zhao Lijian, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, at his July 4 regular press briefing. “Some U.S. officials have spoken irresponsibly to misrepresent the normal and legitimate space endeavors of China. China firmly rejects such remarks.”

Zhao, known for rabid anti-Americanism, was reacting to attention-grabbing comments of NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “We must be very concerned that China is landing on the moon and saying: ‘It’s ours now and you stay out,'” Nelson told German newspaper Bild in an interview published July 2.

Nelson has every right to be concerned. America may have to go to war with China if it even wants to land on the moon. The Chinese have made it clear that, if they get there first, they will shoot down visitors.

Chinese scientists, with military links, infiltrate American virology research institutions and feed the research results to the Chinese military to benefit China’s development of biological weapons, said retired U.S. Army Reserve colonel Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D.

In China, there is no difference between military and civilian research, and in 2016 the Chinese regime even mandated the fusion of both types of research even if they are carried out by different institutions, Sellin said in a recent interview on EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program.

China’s first homegrown narrow-body passenger jet recently completed its debut test flight, a triumph of local innovation, according to China’s communist leaders. It is better described as a stolen plane, developed by plundering secrets from western aerospace companies on a breathtaking scale.

Chinese cyberspies from a group nicknamed “Turbine Panda” because of their targeting of aero-engine secrets have been indicted in absentia by the US justice department, while a top Chinese agent named Xu Yanjun was jailed last year after an FBI sting operation lured him to Belgium, ostensibly to meet a mole at the American company GE Aviation. According to Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, Xu’s “prolific” network has also been active in Britain. “MI5 worked with those being targeted in the UK.

Chinese researchers recently developed artificial intelligence technology that can gauge Chinese officials’ loyalty to the ruling Communist Party. The technology could be a tool for Beijing’s anti-corruption campaign to monitor further and purge “corrupt” Party members, indicating the regime’s growing fear of losing its legitimacy and power.

More than 4.7 million officials at all levels were investigated, subjected to various forms of disciplinary punishment, or prosecuted in the past 10 years, according to data released by China’s top watchdog, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), on June 20.

China is using artificial intelligence to ‘improve’ its court system by recommending laws, drafting documents and alerting ‘perceived human errors’ in rulings.

Judges must now consult the AI on every case by law, Beijing’s Supreme Court said in an update on the system published this week, and if they go against its recommendation they must submit a written explanation for why.

The AI has also been connected to police databases and China’s Orwellian social credit system, handing it the power to punish people – for example by automatically putting a thief’s property up for sale online.

China’s state-run Global Times claimed on Tuesday that Western media was unnecessarily “hyping” protests by roughly 1,000 people in Zhengzhou, China, on Sunday in which participants demanded several rural banks release millions of dollars of deposits after unceremoniously freezing them in April, ignoring the fact that Chinese security personnel physically abused and injured several demonstrators during the rally.
