Congress Tells China To Halt Operations On U.S. Soil

While searching public record on Chinese influence on U.S. soil I came across an interesting bit of information in the Library Of Congress. In 2004, the 108th Congress passed a concurrent resolution calling for China to stand down its operations on U.S. soil, cease the targeting of U.S. citizens practicing Falun Gong, and asked U.S. law enforcement to investigate Chinese operations within the U.S.

I have to tell you, I was surprised to read such an amazing tale... one can only take the details as 100% factual as they came from Congress. Below I listed a few highlights for you. I'd be interested to hear from readers if they have seen, heard, or experienced of the the targeting in the aforementioned Congressional testimony.

The Library of Congress

108th CONGRESS, 2d Session, H. CON. RES. 304

Passed the House of Representatives October 4, 2004.

Expressing the sense of Congress regarding oppression by the Government of the People's Republic of China of Falun Gong in the United States and in China.

Whereas the Chinese Government has also attempted to silence the Falun Gong movement and Chinese prodemocracy groups inside the United States;

Whereas Chinese consular officials have pressured local elected officials in the United States to refuse or withdraw support for the Falun Gong spiritual group;

Whereas the apartment of Ms. Gail Rachlin, the Falun Gong spokeswoman in the United States, has been broken into 5 times by agents of the Chinese regime since the regime banned Falun Gong in 1999 in China;

Whereas over the past 5 years China's diplomatic corps has been actively involved in harassing and persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in the United States;

Whereas on June 23, 2003, Falun Gong practitioners were attacked outside a Chinese restaurant in New York City by local United States-based individuals with reported ties to the Chinese Government;

Are you kidding me? Break-ins, beating of U.S. citizens, attempting to silence free speech? This is going on in the U.S. by Chinese Agents. Is anyone else concerned about this?

Did Chinese Operatives Hunt Down a 14 Year Old Girl on U.S. Soil? Part II

Feb 12, 2007

NEW YORK—A Beijing girl held against her will by Chinese authorities here in the United States—and thought to be in imminent danger of abuse or torture should she be returned to China—is now safe. Grave concerns are now being raised for the girl's family still in China.

U.S. Customs Agents detained 14-year-old Youran Zhao (pronounced "yo-ran jow") and her two official chaperones at JFK airport in New York City Sunday afternoon as they were getting ready to board a flight scheduled to depart for China at 3:30 p.m. Agents held them until her aunt and legal guardian, Ms. Xiufen Zhang, arrived with her lawyer.

Zhang and Youran then left the airport by a side exit in order to avoid Chinese agents they feared would be in the vicinity. According to Mr. Yonglin Chen, a former Chinese Embassy official who defected in Australia in 2005, Chinese authorities have previously kidnapped foreign nationals back to China for punishment. The Chinese regime considers defections or asylum a blow to the Chinese Communist Party's esteem.

Exposed: Chinese Black Operations On U.S. Soil - Part II

Last year a Chinese Diplomat who defected to Australia appeared before the U.S. Congress to share the horror that caused him to defect. One always must question his motivation. At the time he appeared, he had already received asylum from Australia. Inflating stories and providing a fantasy tale to the U.S. gave him no benefit. Therefore, Cover For Action assumes his sworn testimony to be factual. Moreover, his statement is in line with other reports, giving it additional credence.

In his testimony he said there are thousands of informants working covertly, against the Falun Gong. He also indicated that Embassy's (missions...consulates etc.) have "at least" one official overseeing these operations.

This is nothing short of a BOMBSHELL! What he essentially said here is that Chinese Diplomatic missions within U.S. territory are launching black operations on U.S. citizens. This is powerful on many fronts: a. Chinese Covert operations are present on U.S. soil, operating out of Embassy's. and b. Chinese Covert operatives are targeting U.S. citizens (Falun Gong).

This is like saying that KGB operatives are targeting U.S. citizens. POWERFUL. Somehow though, I think if were the KGB, the story would get more play. We treat China with such Kid Gloves.

In doing a little research for this post, I was shocked and amazed at the the vast amount of congressional testimony which exists on this topic. Since the early 2000's Congress has been discussing how Chinese Covert operatives are working on U.S. soil: Covert Break-ins, Phone Intercepts, Assaults, etc. etc. again... VERY VERY SPOOKY. I'm spooked just writing this blog.

Mr Chen repeated claims that more than 1000 Chinese secret agents and informants were tracking and persecuting Falun Gong members. "In each Chinese mission overseas, there must be at least one official in charge of Falun Gong affairs, he said.

By Jonathon Browde WASHINGTON, DC

Mr. Chen described the organization of Chinese missions worldwide, saying they are divided into two categories: diplomatic and intelligence gathering. Those working to gather intelligence, Mr. Chen said, report directly back to Beijing and not their local mission, allowing Beijing to
use missions worldwide as a vast spy network.

The US House passed a resolution in September 2004 condemning the CCP for spying on and harassing Americans who practise Falun Gong. The resolution listed instances of breaking and entering as well as assault and battery. Mr. Chen also told the committee that the CCP
controls most Chinese-language media in the West, including the U.S., largely through dictating advertisement revenue through Chinese-owned businesses. With this control, the CCP can re-iterate the Party line in Chinese communities throughout the US.

Falun Gong pay for Chinese Military

In a recent report by the honorable David Kilgour, Canadian Secretary of State, there is clear indication that the Chinese Military is using profits from harvested Falun Gong organs to supplement it's bulging budget.

Kilgour has also suggested the International Olympic Committee (OIC) leverage China to discontinue their attack on the Falun Gong and the organ harvesting practice. And he warns... thousands of people will show up at the Beijing Olympics wearing badges saying "stop persecuting Falun Gong" or "stop organ snatching." Does anyone expect China to listen to the OIC?

You know what that means right? Thousands of people wearing egg a la face pins. What a sight, people with anti-China pins, reeking of free speech, advertised at every Olympic event, on every news network and in thousands of international homes. The CHICOM's will be rushing to fix the problem. What will they do? Take the pins, remove them forcefully from patrons?

Ah, perhaps countries ought to warn travelers the risk of having their liver cut out...unwillingly.

The EPOCH Times

"We believe that there has been and continues today to be large-scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners," conclude the Canadian authors of a groundbreaking report on organ harvesting in China, in its revised version introduced in Ottawa on Jan. 31.

The new report sheds light on the state of health and military financing in China. Both rely on money made from illegal organ transplants to make up for budget shortfalls, says the report.

The Olympics should be used "as a lever to get [Chinese authorities] to stop this terrible practice," Kilgour told The Epoch Times."The reason it is happening is that we have a totalitarian government combined with what I call 'carnivore capitalism' where anything goes, and it shouldn't surprise people to know that this unimaginable practice is happening," he said.

Kilgour believes the International Olympic Committee should "start to make some very stiff demands on China," starting with stopping organ harvesting immediately. He added that if the organ harvesting does not stop, thousands and thousands of people will arrive in Beijing in 2008 with badges saying "stop persecuting Falun Gong" or "stop organ snatching."

"Their reputation will be in complete disgrace."

Is Chinese Intelligence Intelligent?

Come on now. Who conducts an ASAT test, blows billions of bits of material into a satellite debilitating debris field, and then says: we are peaceful and did not mean to harm relations. That's like the kid with his hand in the cookie jar who says: I was not going to eat any of these cookies, only inspect them for defects. Pleeeaase!

Times Recorder Zanesville, OH

Just as everyone is watching Iran and North Korea, China is quietly, but rapidly, developing its anti-satellite (ASAT) capability to shoot down U.S. satellites.

This is the other face of China, the hard power side that they usually keep well hidden," says Chong-Pin Lin, an expert on China's military in Taiwan and the author of China's Nuclear Weapons Strategy, "they talk more about peace and diplomacy, but the push to develop lethal, high-tech capabilities has not slowed down at all."

"This is a wake-up call," warns Robert Joseph, the under secretary of state for arms control and international security, that China is "pursuing capabilities to exploit our vulnerabilities." The question is: how should the United States respond to such worrisome Chinese moves?

Chinese in Space....

China goes back to space just weeks after catching the world by surprise with a SAT killing maneuver. The so called ASAT mission left a huge debris field and worse, according the the Japanese, violated international law. Although billed as a "friendly" GPS satellite, the new space monkey undoubtedly has Military applications...giving China another foot into the Space Battlefield. America and the world sleep....

China successfully put a navigation satellite into orbit early Saturday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The carrier rocket, Long March 3-A, blasted off at 0:28 a.m. ( Beijing Time). The satellite separated from the rocket about 24 minutes later. Data from the Xi'an satellite monitoring center showed that the satellite had accurately entered its orbit.

Experts said the Beidou satellite navigation experimental system is operating well and has played a significant role in cartography, telecommunications, water conservation, transportation, fishery, prospecting, forest fire monitoring and national security.

Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1)

It is China’s first space-based regional navigation and positioning network. The system provides all-weather, two-dimensional positioning data for both military and civilian users.

But things appear to have changed in Beijing. On 2 November, the country's official news agency Xinhua reported that Beidou would, from 2008, begin providing an "open" level of service, with 10-metre accuracy, in addition to its "authorised", encrypted military service.

China's Covert Space Force

While China pollutes the U.S. political system, blinds U.S. satellites with laser, stalks the U.S. fleet and uses the tools of unrestricted warfare (front companies, economic attack, etc.) they have also been busy building a cover "Space Force". No doubt this is driven by the PLA who's open policy is to attack the U.S.

China’s direct-ascent anti-satellite missile is the latest test to prove counter-space capabilities. Last year, senior U.S. officials said China had attempted to use lasers to blind American satellites.

“We have three books and several dozen articles from China that go back 10 years, all of which advocate all types of anti-satellite weapons and they have a consistent theme — they have to be deployed covertly so that in a crisis with America, China can shoot down some satellites as a deterrent message,” Pillsbury said.

“These documents advocate multiple approaches to preemptive strikes on satellites from plasma clouds, pellets, directed-energy weapons, orbiting spacecraft and attacking ground stations with special forces,” he said.

Is China Testing U.S. Resolve?

The past 12 months has highlighted China's growing threat to the U.S. As companies continue to invest in China and business booms, the Chinese military is testing the U.S. resolve. A close look at China's actions reveals a detailed, well thought-out and calculated policy of testing U.S. waters. From a very public perspective, they have our number. How will the U.S. respond?

China is stirring: why now?

In the last few weeks and months, two important new military capabilities were apparently demonstrated by China to show the US new - and some say troubling - Chinese military powers. First, in October 2006, a Chinese Song Class diesel electric submarine crept covertly to within five nautical miles of the USS Kitty Hawk, a US navy aircraft carrier.

This one act said to many naval observers two things: that China intends to patrol further than ever from its shores and that China now can effectively evade US navy anti-submarine warfare systems and place warships in a position to quickly eliminate the US navy’s capital ships.

Then on January 11, 2007, China launched a land-based rocket that intercepted and destroyed an old Chinese satellite. This one act indicated that China may have the early stages of a “space denial” weapon system for use against the US in a crisis or war.

Both incidents followed a period of decreased intelligence gathering by the US against China.
Military intelligence officials told us that the US Pacific Commander, Admiral William “Fox” Fallon, had restricted US intelligence-gathering activities against China, fearing that disclosure of the activities would upset relations with Beijing. Last week the White House announced that Admiral Fallon is now the President’s nominee to succeed General John Abazaid as the Commander of the Central Command.

China is “feeling out” the international response to many of its new initiatives. For many years the US Pentagon has asked that China become more open and forthcoming about its military plans and investments. Just recently, China has become more “transparent” about its military spending and its priorities.

In his annual threat assessment, Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told Congress on January 11: “Several countries continue to develop capabilities that have the potential to threaten US space assets, and some have already deployed systems with inherent anti-satellite capabilities, such as satellite-tracking laser range-finding devices and nuclear-armed ballistic missiles.”

On the same day, the Chinese destroyed an ageing weather satellite using what’s known as a kinetic-kill vehicle sent into space aboard a Chinese ballistic missile. Kinetic-kill vehicles were an integral part of President Reagan’s dream of protecting the US against ballistic missile attacks: a plan critics mocked and still do.

Another piece of troubling news from China: China’s military is delaying the US visit of its strategic nuclear forces commander despite a promise by Chinese President Hu Jintao last year that the general would hold talks with the US Strategic Command leader.

What is China Planning for the U.S.?

By in large Americans remain blind to the Chinese threat. While the CHICOM military ratchets up rhetoric about how to beat the U.S., paints U.S. Satellites with lasers, and launches and armed sub to stalk the U.S. Fleet, American remains on a honeymoon cloud, sipping on the sweet wine of economic benefit. Blinded by financial gain, we appear to be so financially intoxicated that the CHICOMS growing threat to our National Security has become an after thought. What is China planning for the U.S.?

A noted Chinese theorist on modern warfare, Chang Mengxiong, compared China's form of fighting to "a Chinese boxer with a keen knowledge of vital body points who can bring an opponent to his knees with a minimum of movements". It is like key acupuncture points in ancient Chinese medicine. Puncture one vital point and the whole anatomy is affected. If America ever goes to war with China, say, over Taiwan, then America should be prepared for the following "acupuncture points" in its anatomy to be "punctured". Each of the vital points can bring America to its knees with a minimum of effort.

I Electro-magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack
An EMP attack will damage all electrical grids on the US mainland. It will disable computers and other similar electronic devices with microchips. Most businesses and industries will shut down. The entire US economy will practically grind to a halt. Satellites within line of sight of the EMP burst will also be damaged, adversely affecting military command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR).

2 Cyber attack
China's new concept of a "people's war" includes IT warriors coming, not only from its military more than 2-million strong, but from the general citizenry of some 1.3 billion people. If we add the hackers and information warriors from Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria and other countries sympathetic to China, the cyber attack on the US would be formidable indeed. So, if a major conflict erupts between China and America, more than a few dozen laptops will be engaged to hack America's military establishment; banking system; stock exchange; defense industries; telecommunication system; power grids; water system; oil and gas pipeline system; air traffic and train traffic control systems; C4ISR system, ballistic missile system, and other systems that prop up the American way of life.

3 Interdiction of US foreign oil supply
A single blow from Iran or China or Russia, or a combination of the three at the Strait of Hormuz can paralyze America. In addition, Chinese and Russian submarines can stop the flow of oil to the US and Japan by interdicting oil tanker traffic coming from the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. On the other hand, US naval supremacy will have minimal effect on China's oil supply because it is already connected to Kazakhstan with a pipeline and will soon be connected to Russia and Iran as well. One wonders: what will be the price of oil if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz. It will surely drive oil prices sky high. Prolonged high oil prices can, in turn, trigger inflation in the US and a sharp decline of the dollar, possibly even a dollar free-fall. The collapse of the dollar will have a serious impact on the entire US economy.

4 Attack on the US dollar
China is now the biggest holder of foreign exchange reserves in the world, accumulating $941 billion as of June 30 and expected to exceed a trillion dollars by the end of 2006 - a first in world history. A decision by China to shift a major portion of its reserve to the euro or the yen or gold could trigger other central banks to follow suit. Nobody would want to be left behind holding a bag full of dollars rapidly turning worthless. The herd psychology would be very difficult to control in this case because national economic survival would be at stake.

5 Diplomatic isolation
The US-led war in Iraq was a tactical victory for the US initially, but has resulted in strategic defeat overall. The Iraq war caused the US to lose its principal allies in Europe and be isolated, despised and hated in many parts of the world. Without too many friends and allies, the US is likened to an "emperor with no clothes". So in a major conflict between America and China, isolated America cannot possibly win against a global united front led by China and Russia.

U.S. has no defense for Chinese Anti-Satellite?

Check out the buzz out Defense Tech.org. The first paragraph lays out what many have been fearing, the U.S. may be unable to do anything against a Chinese satellite. Hey, that's what friends are for right?

China Space Attack: Unstoppable
China has shown it can destroy a satellite in orbit. What could the U.S. do to stop Beijing, if it decided to attack an American orbiter next? Short answer: nothing.

It takes about 20 minutes to fire a ballistic missile into space, and have its "kill vehicle" strike a satellite at hypersonic speed -- over 15,000 miles per hour -- in low-earth orbit. That's far too quick for anything in the American arsenal to respond, in time. There's "no possibility of shielding" a relatively-fragile satellite against such a strike. "And it is impractical [for a satellite] to carry enough fuel to maneuver away even if you had specific and timely warning of an attack," Center for Defense Information analyst Theresea Hitchens notes.
