Trump-Era Rule Targeting Chinese Spies Reinstated by House After Biden Dismantled It

In today’s episode of “What Will Congress Actually Do Right?” the House has decided to finally tackle the growing threat of Chinese spies.

This from thepatriotjournal.com.

While The Obiden Regime has long been busy stumbling through foreign policy and Comrade Kamala has been laughing at idiocy beyond understanding, lawmakers have been trying to fix a major security problem that’s been brewing for years.

Maybe someone in Washington is paying attention after all.

China’s been sneaking its way into everything—our universities, our tech companies, even our government. But for years, the Left couldn’t seem to figure out what to do about it. It’s not like Biden was going to get tough on them. After all, he’s got his hands full just trying to stay on message for more than 30 seconds. But now, Congress is finally moving forward on this.

A new bill aims to crack down on China’s espionage efforts.

This is overdue and it’s about damn time someone took this threat seriously. But of course, some of the communist/globalist team are grumbling:

[P]robably because anything that smells like tough foreign policy makes them nervous.

Let us see if they actually get behind this for the sake of national security—or if they find a way to drag their feet, as usual.

By a vote of 237-180, the House voted to advance the Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act. This bill would reinstate a Trump-era initiative that was meant to fight back against foreign espionage from the Chinese Communist Party.

The initiative makes it harder for the CCP to infiltrate global research and industries. It also will help prevent intellectual theft and protect U.S. infrastructure and technology. The bill was introduced by Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX).

From The Washington Examiner:

‘Efforts by the CCP to infiltrate our domestic industries and steal American trade secrets cannot go unaddressed,’ Gooden told the Washington Examiner in a statement. ‘The Chinese Communist Party continues to ramp up efforts to steal and copy U.S. technological advances. My bill will give federal law enforcement the tools they need to effectively combat the CCP and safeguard American industry.’

The bill would revive the China Initiative that was established under former President Donald Trump in November 2018. The program sought to pursue Chinese commercial theft of U.S. technology at a time when the two countries were engaged in tense trade wars and tariff exchanges.

Before Biden ended the program, citing racial profiling concerns, 160 individuals and entities were indicted. At least 45 of them have since either been convicted or pleaded guilty.

Clearly, this Trump-era initiative was effective in doing exactly what it was designed to do. Despite this, Biden still went woke and dismantled it.

Sadly, this comes as no surprise. In the minds of Dementia Joe and Comrade Kamala, absolutely everything is about race. They cannot see that China actually does pose a threat to the U.S. and that the CCP is indeed actively trying to infiltrate our country. Instead, all they see is non-white people. Therefore, any effort to protect U.S. national security against the CCP has to be racially motivated in their eyes.

The bill will now head to the Senate. Since there is a [communist/globalist] majority there, it may seem like the bill is doomed. However, it actually has some bipartisan support. Indeed, more than 20 House Democrats voted in favor of it on Wednesday. This makes the future of the bill a bit uncertain.

If the bill manages to pass the Senate, Dementia Joe or Comrade Kamala may or may not veto it. Even if it does manage to get more support among the Left, it unfortunately would not be shocking if the racially-obsessed Joe or Kamala end up vetoing it.

If they veto this bill, it would not be the first time The Regime has prioritized China over the U.S.
