 Blaze: Exclusive: China behind massive nationwide SIM farm network that directly threatens American critical infrastructure The discovery of SIM farms that threatened cellular networks in New York City is only the tip of a massive nationwide network run by the Chinese Communist government that poses an immediate threat to critical American infrastructure and has led to terrorist acts including hoax SWAT raids at the homes of national leaders, Blaze News has learned. Sources in the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. intelligence community said these SIM card networks were operating in the United States as early as 2004. They have proliferated exponentially since President Donald J. Trump was re-elected to the presidency in November 2024. “This is something that is a direct threat to our nation right now,” a top intelligence official told Blaze News. “A direct threat to our nation, and it needs to be shut down today — like ASAP. Only five of them have been taken down so f...

 Federalist Wire: ... On September 12, 2025, Bloomberg reported China’s sharp rebuke of Mexico’s proposed 50% tariffs on Chinese goods, including automobiles, textiles, and plastics, as Mexico aligns with President Donald Trump’s trade agenda to curb Beijing’s economic overreach. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce warned Mexico to “think twice” before enacting these duties, framing them as capitulation to U.S. pressure rather than a sovereign decision. “Any unilateral tariff increase by Mexico, even within the framework of [World Trade Organization] rules, would be seen as appeasement and compromise toward unilateral bullying,” the ministry stated, per Bloomberg’s translation, urging Mexico to “exercise extreme caution.” This aggressive rhetoric underscores China’s pattern of economic coercion, seeking to intimidate Mexico into preserving a lopsided trade relationship that fuels Beijing’s dominance while undermining North American industrial sovereignty. Mexico’s move, led by Preside...

  Federalist Wire: ... The Justice Department has cracked down on a massive drug trafficking ring straight out of Communist China, indicting 22 Chinese nationals and three Americans for flooding our streets with deadly fentanyl precursors. This “first-of-its-kind” operation exposes how Beijing’s operatives are directly fueling the opioid crisis that’s ripping apart American families and neighborhoods. The federal grand jury in Ohio didn’t hold back, slamming dozens of defendants and four shady Chinese companies with charges of conspiring to distribute over 400 grams of fentanyl mixtures and international money laundering. FBI Director Kash Patel didn’t mince words in his statement: “Today’s announcement marks a first-of-its-kind international operation for the FBI targeting the fentanyl plague that has killed tens of thousands of Americans and indicting the companies and individuals in mainland China that manufacture the precursor chemicals fueling the destruction of our communitie...

 Wall Street Journal: Chinese Hackers Pretended to Be a Top U.S. Lawmaker During Trade Talks FBI is investigating a scheme to spy on trade groups using fake emails from China committee chair Rep. John Moolenaar The hackers must be investigated to see if they are responding to the Chinese government. 

 Daily Signal: China may have stolen data from nearly every American, including President Donald Trump , a yearslong joint investigation by multiple intelligence agencies has concluded. The group “Salt Typhoon,” which has ties to the Chinese Communist Party, reportedly hacked phones Trump and Vice President JD Vance used last year during the presidential campaign. The investigation has uncovered information related to a yearlong, elaborate cyberhack conducted by entities with ties to the CCP. The hack is reported to have targeted more than 80 countries. “ People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored cyberthreat actors are targeting networks globally, including, but not limited to, telecommunications, government, transportation, lodging, and military infrastructure networks,” according to a joint statement issue by the investigators last week. Numerous nations, including the U.S., Canada, Finland, Germany, and Japan signed onto the statement, which is intended to shed ligh...

  Wall Street Journal: In a study published in January last year, researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University showed how artificial intelligence could be used to deploy weapons systems in automated “kill webs” that would adjust in real time to battlefield changes during combat at sea. Six days later, China’s military announced that the university had won a defense contract to make the idea a reality. It was the seventh public defense contract to develop or maintain AI-related systems that Shanghai Jiao Tong had signed since the start of 2023. The university would go on to land seven more before 2024 was out. Aside from the maritime kill-web project, the school was also tasked with helping the military track fast-moving targets using layered AI models, rapidly generate underwater drone designs and make drone swarms more sensitive to changes in radio frequencies. For years, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has tried to recruit his country’s civilian institutions to help the People’s Libera...

 Newsmax: U.S. financial systems have been warned to look out for Chinese money-laundering networks used by Mexico-based drug cartels, including some designated as foreign terrorist organizations. The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued an advisory Thursday that money-laundering networks linked to individuals holding Chinese passports have enabled drug cartels "to poison Americans with fentanyl, conduct human trafficking, and wreak havoc among communities across our great nation." "The United States will not stand by and allow nefarious actors to launder illicit proceeds through our financial system," said John Hurley, the Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, in a news release. "Today's publication of FinCEN's Advisory and Financial Trend Analysis reinforces Treasury's and law enforcement's ongoing work to combat Chinese money laundering networks and will help financial institutions...

Blaze: America is sleepwalking into disaster. The rush to renewables, pitched by many progressives as patriotism in action, is in fact tying America to its greatest rival. The story is sold in sunny ads about cheaper power bills and endless solar arrays glistening on rooftops. The truth is much darker. Behind those panels, behind the inverters that hum quietly in basements and back yards, stands the Chinese Communist Party . For Beijing, solar was never about saving the planet. It was about power. Billions in subsidies turned factories into arsenals, entire cities redesigned to churn out polysilicon wafers and panels at a scale the West could never rival. Today, the result is plain. Four out of five solar panels in the world are built in China . Even when an American installer stamps “Made in the USA” on a box, the guts are usually Chinese. The supply chain runs through Xinjiang, through state-backed giants, through companies that move at the command of the CCP. The panels alone are on...

 Just the News: US helps secure arrest of alleged Chinese hacker accused of stealing COVID-19 research for CCP "Xu is accused of hacking U.S. universities and stealing critical COVID-19 research on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party," Patel posted to X. "The CCP’s relentless attacks on our institutions will not go unanswered." The article does not disclose why the hacking took place, but I suspect the Chinese government wanted to see to what extent it was being blamed for releasing the pandemic.  They may also have been looking for ways to deal with pandemic they had released on the world.

  The Hill: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins said Tuesday that the department would no longer allow “ Chinese nationals ” and other foreign adversaries to purchase farmland in the United States. The USDA has already canceled seven active agreements with foreign countries of concern and removed roughly 70 people affiliated with those contracts, Rollins explained. Her comments came during a press conference alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and GOP Govs. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, Jim Pillen of Nebraska and Bill Lee of Tennessee to announce the Trump administration’s National Farm Security Action Plan . The initiative aims to “claw back” farmland that has already been purchased by those seen as a risk to national security, including Chinese nationals, and to give a “more intentional look” at individuals who seek to buy that land in the future. ... The move comes month...

  Federalist Wire: A Chinese doctor who fled her homeland after exposing controversial COVID-19 research claims that scientists from China working in American laboratories are systematically trained to steal intellectual property for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), raising alarms about national security threats embedded within U.S. research institutions. Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese-educated doctor born in Qingdao, China, asserts that Chinese scientists are bound by government contracts to pilfer U.S. research, technology, and other valuable assets for the benefit of the CCP. “Scientists getting visa from China to the US, they are visiting scholars. They have signed the contract with Chinese government to go back to China, serve China with whatever they can get from the US,” Yan said during a recent television interview. Her statements suggest a calculated effort by the CCP to exploit U.S. openness in academic exchanges. Yan’s claims align with recent actions by the Trump administrati...

  Newsmax: FBI whistleblowers and emails released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveal that U.S. intelligence knew of a China-led election fraud plot to elect Joe Biden in September 2020, but that information was covered up. The records show FBI headquarters under then-FBI Director Christopher Wray interfered with an investigation into Chinese election interference to shield Wray from political blowback. The COVID-election cover up intended to protect Wray from being exposed for inaccurate or false statements to Congress where he claimed there was no evidence of pending election fraud presented to intelligence or the FBI, according to documents and Grassley's assessment of them. ... There should be consequences for those who interfered with the investigation of Chinese election interference to get Biden elected in 2020.  It was and effort to put in place a political cripple to weaken any US response to Chinese aggression.

 DC Daily Journal: ... Federal authorities have charged two Chinese nationals with espionage for allegedly conducting a multi-year operation to infiltrate U.S. Navy personnel and installations on behalf of Beijing’s intelligence services. The arrests mark a significant escalation in the Trump administration’s efforts to counter Chinese espionage on American soil. The FBI apprehended Yuance Chen and Liren “Ryan” Lai on Friday after a lengthy investigation revealed a sophisticated scheme involving cash dead drops and covert surveillance of Navy facilities. Court documents detail how the duo allegedly targeted sailors and recruitment centers to gather sensitive information for China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS). ... “Two Chinese nationals were caught spying on our Navy and trying to recruit American service members for the CCP’s intel service. Our FBI won’t stand for it. We tracked them, we stopped them, and we’re not done yet,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X, highlighting t...

 Daily Mail: FBI Director Kash Patel has dug up evidence the agency shut down an investigation that shows the former director buried proof China interfered in the 2020 presidential election . The Daily Mail can exclusively report that Patel plans to hand over to Congress this week proof that former FBI Director Christopher Wray lied to Congress. Specifically, he will detail to leaders how FBI headquarters 'recalled' a report solely because it contradicted Wray's claims under oath to Congress that China was not conducting a foreign influence campaign in U.S. elections. The FBI field office in Albany, New York produced an Internal Intelligence Report (IRR) that was published and then pulled back without justification, Patel reveals. FBI bosses at the time shut down this legitimate investigation into the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to shield Wray from fallout, sources tell the Daily Mail . The FBI was investigating at the time the existence of CCP-produced drivers licens...

  Blaze: ... Newsom was criticized for missing an opportunity to address a pressing public health crisis, but Schweizer says his refusal to “finger-point” stems from his deep ties to China, which he’s reluctant to jeopardize. “His history is a long association with Chinese organized crime figures,” he says. “When he was mayor of San Francisco, he appointed as the head of Chinatown economic development a guy who was a dragon head — that is a mafia leader in Chinese organized crime.” Newsom also “gave taxpayer money from San Francisco to [another dragon head’s] nonprofit,” and “he had on his transition team yet another guy who was involved with Chinese organized crime who went to jail on a murder-for-hire plot,” says Schweizer. Further, during Newsom’s San Francisco mayoral tenure, “he also set up something called ChinaSF to bring China investment dollars to San Francisco.” To establish ChinaSF, he partnered with “Vincent Lo” — a man “already publicly known to be associated with Chin...

 Federalist Wire: ... Explosive allegations from FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino have reignited scrutiny over the 2020 U.S. presidential election, with claims that the bureau’s former leadership concealed evidence of a Chinese scheme to influence the vote in favor of Joe Biden. The accusations, detailed in a statement to reporters, suggest that prior FBI officials “chose to play politics” by withholding critical intelligence about a plot involving fake mail-in ballots. While these claims are serious, they remain unsubstantiated, casting a shadow over the Biden administration’s early days while raising questions about transparency in federal law enforcement. The allegations stem from a recently surfaced intelligence report, turned over to Congress by Patel earlier this month, which purportedly details a Chinese operation to produce fraudulent U.S. driver’s licenses. According to the report, these licenses were intended to enable tens of thousands of ineligibl...

 Blaze: FBI Director Kash Patel announced earlier this month that the bureau located an intelligence report from August 2020 that detailed "alarming allegations" regarding an apparent Chinese communist plot to interfere in the presidential election for the benefit of then-candidate Joe Biden. Such allegations, if brought to light at the time, would have vindicated the concerns about voter fraud and foreign election interference then expressed by President Donald Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr , which were written off by election officials, Democrats, and the liberal media as "unfounded" and "preposterous." Instead, elements of the intelligence community apparently covered up the alleged foreign election interference campaign. "Former FBI leadership withheld the facts and misled the public on China's 2020 election interference," Patel stated on Thursday. "And they did so for political gain." Patel noted in a separate ...

  Federalist Wire: ... Rep. Darin LaHood, a Republican from Illinois, recently sounded an alarm about China’s long-term strategy to overtake the United States. On the “John Solomon Reports” podcast, he laid out a sobering assessment of Beijing’s goals. “China has a plan to replace the United States, and they’re working at it every single day,” LaHood said. “I don’t say that to scare people. That’s the reality. They want to beat us technologically, militarily, economically and diplomatically. And the sooner we wake up to that, the better.” His words point to a growing concern in Washington: China’s methodical pursuit of global dominance. The U.S.-China relationship has grown increasingly tense in recent years, with disputes spanning trade, technology, and national security. From tariffs to tech bans, the two nations have clashed over issues that shape the global order. LaHood’s comments come at a time when American policymakers are grappling with how to counter China’s advances whil...
