I don't understand. Why would a Chinese guy, who came to America and got citizenship betray his adoptive country? Oh, it's because these people are Chinese first, and then American. If a war breaks out between the US and China, who do you think these Chinese-Americans will support? I'll give you a hint...it's not America.

Regarding the internment of Japanese Americans in WW2: We had broken the Japanese codes, and saw the extent of spy networks among Japanese Americans. But arresting JUST the spies would have revealed that we knew their codes, so they decided to put all of them away.

Why is the CIO managing the investments? And their network needs to be analyzed and pen tested 17 ways from Sundays looking for back doors adn Zero Day threats.

In fact I’d recommend a total rip and replace on the entire physical network just to be on the safe side of things.

CALPER returns are horrible. Can buy S&P Index funds and do better.

Kai Fu Lee marvels at the Chinese MEGA DATA collectors on their slaves. He says they are waaay ahead of American slavemaskers. He likens them to “GLADIATORS”.

Donald Trump’s administration is “looking at” investments in Chinese military companies by CalPERS.

Something no democrat president would ever do it would spoil the kickbacks.

There was a group of blacklisted Chinese companies & he kept investing in them.

Not only very risky-—TREASON, IMO.

“Why would a Chinese guy, who came to America and got citizenship betray his adoptive country?”

The ChiCom Intelligence services cultivate them, to recruit them as agents. That is what the “Thousand Talents” program is - a large scale recruitment effort.

There is an appeal to ethnicity/nationalism, there are financial incentives, maybe some blackmail, and then there is the fate of relatives back in China.

Whatever works on that particular target.

“...returned to CalPERS after more than three years as the deputy CIO at the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), the largest asset pool in the world with assets under management of over $3 trillion U.S. dollars.”

For FRiends who don’t know, SAFE is the Chicom state sovereign fund. From Wiki:

“The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) of the People’s Republic of China is an administrative agency under the State Council tasked with drafting rules and regulations governing foreign exchange market activities, and managing the state foreign-exchange reserves, which at the end of December 2016 stood at $3.01 trillion for the People’s Bank of China.”

He's their Chief Investment Officer.
