Chinese Balloon 2.0: Biden White House dismisses mystery drone sightings, suggests mistaken identity

By Lucas Nolan | Breitbart The Biden administration has dismissed the recent wave of drone sightings on the East Coast, suggesting that most reports are likely cases of mistaken identity involving legally-operating aircraft. The New York Post reports that the mysterious drone sightings that have been reported in New Jersey, New York, and surrounding areas over the past few weeks have left residents and local authorities puzzled and concerned. However, the White House has taken a different stance on the matter, with national security council spokesman John Kirby dismissing the reports during a briefing on Thursday. Kirby stated that federal investigators have been unable to verify any of the more than 3,000 reports of car-sized drones patrolling the night skies. He suggested that m...

Former Chrysler exec says Trump’s win is prompting CEOs to move out of China

By Taylor Penley  | Fox Business President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory over Vice President Harris is already sending shockwaves through the business world as executives have looked to move production out of China since last week, former Home Depot and Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli told FOX Business. "I think he's [Trump] going to be very positive about growth. He's going to be very protective. He's going to try to re-shore onshore stuff out of China," he said Tuesday on "Mornings with Maria." "Big discussion yesterday about the supply issue, basically superseding the domestic demand issue in China, so a lot of the companies I'm talking to and CEOs are already looking at how they're going to move out of China, either onshore, back to the U.S., or re-shore to another favorab...

Steve Madden announces plan to ‘rapidly’ move production out of China following Trump election win

By Kristen Altus  | Fox Business Steve Madden’s CEO announced on a post-earnings call Thursday — less than 48 hours after Trump’s victory — that the retailer has put a "plan into motion" that cuts Chinese sourcing up to 45%. "You should expect to see the percentage of goods that we source from China to begin to come down more rapidly going forward," CEO Edward Rosenfeld said. The trendy shoe retailer also noted it would focus more of its operations at factory bases in Brazil, Mexico, Vietnam and Cambodia. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Walz reportedly had romantic relationship with China’s Wang in his 20’s

By Robert McGreevy | Daily Caller Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz allegedly had a passionate romance with the daughter of a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official, the Daily Mail reported Monday. Walz engaged in the secret tryst with Jenna Wang, then an English language teacher, during his 1989 teaching stint in the Chinese city Foshan, she told the Daily Mail. Wang claimed the pair did not show any public affection to each other as it apparently would have bothered Wang’s father, Bin Hui, a high-ranking CCP official and chairman of a labor union in her home city Guilin, according to the outlet. Walz married Gwen Whipple in 1994. “My father would have been very, very angry and sad if he had found out,” Wang told the outlet. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY ...

China’s espionage machine is overwhelming the west

By Nick Pope | The Daily Caller The Chinese government is conducting espionage activities on such a broad scale that Western governments are struggling to keep Beijing’s spying in check, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. In just the last month, the FBI said that Chinese government-linked hackers breached 260,000 internet-connected devices across the U.S. and Europe, while federal officials alleged that a former top aide to Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was a Chinese agent and a congressional report found that Chinese-made cargo cranes at America’s ports contained technology that would allow China to control them discreetly, according to the WSJ. Western intelligence agencies are sounding the alarm and asking the public to be vigilant for possible Ch...

‘We have deepened our ties with China,’ Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says of U.S.

By Ian Hanchett | Fox Business During an interview with CNBC on Thursday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that the relationship between the U.S. and China has “gotten closer. I think we have deepened our ties with China.” CNBC Senior Economics Reporter Steve Liesman asked, “You mentioned in your speech the risk of China and the importance of having a positive relationship with China or at least building on that relationship. Yet, over the course of this administration, you have kept the tariffs put in place by former President Trump and you’ve actually added to them. Do you believe that that relationship has gotten closer?” READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

China expert sounds alarm over ‘war signals’: ‘Xi Jinping is about to do something truly horrendous’

By Alicia Warren | Fox Business Chinese President Xi Jinping may be on the verge of doing something "horrendous" after sending two "war signals" within 10 days of each other, says one expert. Gordon Chang, senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute and author of ‘Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America,’ joined FOX Business' "Mornings with Maria" on Thursday to discuss the U.S. adversary’s rising aggression.  His comments come after the Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China announced that its military had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Wednesday morning. The missile, which carried a dummy warhead and was not targeting any particular nation, fell into the ocean without incident. The People's Liberation Army's...

Sloan: The long arm of Beijing into American politics

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice When Alger Hiss, a well-placed official in the U.S. State Department, was revealed to be a Soviet spy in the late 1940s, it shook Congress (and the American public) hard enough for them to take the matter of Soviet penetration of U.S. governmental entities seriously. One can hope that the arrest of Linda Sun, a top aide of New York Governor Kathy Hochul, on charges of working as an unregistered agent of the People’s Republic of China while in the governor’s office will have a similar impact on all levels of American government today.  The details unveiled in the unsealed indictment are quite extraordinary. Among many other things, Sun (allegedly – because that’s how we do things in free countries) clandestinely allowed a PRC d...

US ‘sleepwalking’ into WWIII, experts warn nation is underprepared

By Caitlin McFall  | Fox News The U.S. is "sleepwalking" into a global war against its top adversaries united under an axis of "malign partnerships," and experts are sounding the alarm that neither the U.S. military nor the public are prepared for World War III. In late July, a body of non-governmental national security experts, first tasked by Congress in 2022 under the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, released an evaluation of the U.S.’ overall security strategy put forward by the Biden administration two years ago. The commission found that after decades of post-Cold War policies that cut defense spending and reduced investments in the security sector, Washington, D.C., is "not prepared" to counter Beijing in open conflict, let alone a multi-fron...

Congress targets Chinese influence in health tech

By DIDI TANG and HAVEN DALEY | KDVR, via AP A California biotechnology company that helps doctors detect genetic causes for cancer is among those that could be cut out of the U.S. market over ties to China, underscoring the possible tradeoffs between health innovation and a largely bipartisan push in Congress to counter Beijing’s global influence. The competition between the world’s superpowers is hitting Complete Genomics, whose employees, some in white lab coats stitched with U.S. flag arm patches, spin samples in test tubes and huddle around computers in San Jose. Its founder and chief scientific officer said he’s frustrated that geopolitics is interfering with science. “It’s just a loss for the research and for the industry,” Radoje Drmanac said.
