Since at least 2017, federal officials have investigated Chinese land purchases near critical infrastructure, shut down a high-profile regional consulate believed by the US government to be a hotbed of Chinese spies and stonewalled what they saw as clear efforts to plant listening devices near sensitive military and government facilities.    

Among the most alarming things the FBI uncovered pertains to Chinese-made Huawei equipment atop cell towers near US military bases in the rural Midwest. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the FBI determined the equipment was capable of capturing and disrupting highly restricted Defense Department communications, including those used by US Strategic Command, which oversees the country’s nuclear weapons.

Do something about it. It is beyond me why the Chinese are permitted to purchase any land or anything else in this country. Why was this ever permitted? Failure? Naivete? Deliberate? or Someone not watching the fort?

If the US was a sports team, and our current crop of politicians the manager and coaching staff, they would all be fired immediately for the poor performance of the team.

We spend billions developing and maintaining our military power, but then allow our enemies to buy our uranium, our land, and also take our manufacturing jobs - while we choose to be energy dependent.

Sorry, but there is NOTHING that the “FBI” can do or say that will lead me to believe them in any capacity. They are nothing but tools of the leftist deep state, IMO.

The theory was if we helped China become capitalist, they would stop being a totalitarian state.

The Chinese did not cooperate.

They decided it was more efficent to "capture the ruling class" with bribes than to wage war.

They have been pursuing a deliberate policy of weakening us while strengthening themselves at our expense, for over 40 years.

An excellent book, which explains most of this, is The Hundred Year Marathon.

Yes— Trump banned all Huawei 5G hookups and networks/business. In addition he banned Tik Tok. Now look how things are.

The US Military needs to remove these devices and listeners, and the entire huawei infrastructure. There is no mystery as to who they are... and they are the Enemy.

Well, since the FBI is nothing but a criminal organization, this ‘report’ is called into question as to what they are really trying to accomplish politically.

Whomever is the genius who decided to allow any Chinese-made products within several miles of critical defense infrastructure should be fired and investigated for treason. This would NEVER have happened during the Cold War, people actually gave a damn about the country and used their brains to advance its interests back then.
