SAFEGUARDING NATIONAL SECURITY: President Donald J. Trump is dismantling China’s ability to use graduate students to steal intellectual property and technology from the United States.

• President Trump has issued a proclamation to block certain graduate level and above Chinese nationals associated with entities in China that implement or support China’s Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) strategy, from using F or J visas to enter the United States.
• China’s theft of American technology, intellectual property, and research threatens the safety, security, and economy of the United States.
• Today’s actions will not affect students who come to the United States for legitimate reasons.
  • Affected students are those who have been employed by or who studied or researched with Chinese entities that support China’s MCF strategy.

PRESERVING AMERICAN SUPERIORITY: President Trump is ensuring that our Nation remains militarily and technologically dominant.

• The United States is the leading innovator of next-generation technologies, including those with military applications.
• China’s MCF strategy is an attempt to develop the most technologically advanced military in the world by any means necessary, including by co-option and coercion.
• Through China’s MCF strategy, the People’s Liberation Army is using certain Chinese students and researchers to steal American technological secrets and innovations.
• China should not be permitted to advance its military development through access to our Nation’s educational and research centers.
• President Trump is preventing China from acquiring critical American technologies that could boost its military and threaten our national security interests, by suspending and limiting the entry into the United States of high-risk students and researchers from China.

KEEPING PERSISTENT PRESSURE ON CHINA: Today’s action is the latest example of President Trump’s commitment to preventing China from taking advantage of the United States.

• The Department of Justice’s China Initiative and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are directing resources to identify and prosecute trade secrets theft, hacking, and economic espionage.
• President Trump has successfully used tariffs to persuade China to sign a Phase One Trade Agreement that secured significant protections for American businesses and workers.
• The President has taken action against China to protect American producers from unfair competition and counterfeit goods.
• President Trump has taken action to prevent foreign malign actors from gaining access to United States information networks.

I know God will work things out for good including this pandemic, and we are so blessed to have President Trump challenging China from the get-go... but in the grand scheme: this was long overdue.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Only about 30 years too late thanks to the Jorges, Clinton, and Obummer. But better late than never, I guess.

Well, in Ann Coulter’s world, Trump is a vulgarian, so whatever he does cannot override that flaw.

By the way, Ann dated Bill Maher, the vile little worm who can only reach vulgarian level on his best (very few) days.

Biden is very upset by this

More than 30 years to late. They also have a huge army of spies embedded in American society, these include the local restaurant or shop owner, the person working in corporate America whether it’s in a tech or non tech field. We need to view all Chinese Nationals or those who’ve immigrated from China and become American citizens with suspicion. Think twice when you go to your local chinese restaurant.

Sooo... Why would anyone go to a Chinese restaurant? Most Americans eat American food.

[BlackAdderess]

That’s for sure

>>Think twice when you go to your local chinese restaurant.

That is a ridiculous statement. Most Chinese restaurants are operated by Americans who have been Americans for several generations.

The focus should be on the CCP and their agents. Yes, there might be a restaurant or two in the whole country operated by a CCP agent, but the vast majority are not. By focusing on those who are Chinese Nationals (i.e. not US born citizens of Chinese decent) the CCP agents will be found and expelled, along with all the others operating as “drivers” for certain Senators who have made billions from bringing treasonous benefit to China by knowingly allowing sensitive information and IP to be leaked...and the moles in Universities, companies, and government agencies across the nation.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

What happened to that Chinese woman who was caught sneaking into Mar-a-Lago. She was carrying all kinds of espionage devices. Slap in the wrist? Jeez, I know that most of us in similar circumstances would still be behind bars

[reardensteel]

Thanks!

I actually got a Communist’s answer as to why they do this.

They consider it liberating the ideas for use by the people. That it is unfair for rich companies to profit from ideas that have often been in the public sphere for years. And that doesn’t include helping poor people afford nice things or more advanced technology.

Thus intellectual property theft is a moral obligation.
