As American Liberty News (ALN) has reported frequently, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), ministry of State Security (MSS) and the People’s Liberation Army (PLAN) has been stealing American military, technological and other secrets on an industrial scale for decades. This massive espionage operation has helped them gain superpower status and gives China $600 billion a year in benefits. A recent historic court decision shows how. 19fortyfive reports that: US counterintelligence officials managed to lure Yanjun Xu, a senior Chinese intelligence officer, out of China in 2018 and then get him extradited to the US to stand trial for attempting to steal advanced…

CHINA THREAT – Even as it ramps up invasion drills, aerial incursions and other overt military threats, communist China’s spies have also infiltrated Taiwan’s military in a bid to subvert the democratic island republic’s defenses from within, according to a new Reuters special feature report. This infiltration has been going on for at least the past ten years when relations were more open and less hostile, and has reached senior levels. It appears Taiwan’s spy catchers have become more aggressive about finding them and prosecuting them, and the mood in Taiwan has also now become far less permissive.

In an impassioned essay, former Speaker Newt Gingrich warns that America is headed toward a “catastrophic defeat” in any conflict with communist China. Noting various examples of China’s growing power and U.S. acquiescence, regularly reported by ADN, Gingrich concludes that a dramatic national overhaul in the U.S. approach to China is needed to stave off this defeat. U.S. Companies Are Already Aiding and Abetting the Enemy Gingrich blames American corporations for much of the rot in U.S. policy toward China. Wealthy American companies are aiding and abetting the enemy while undermining the United States. Gingrich writes: …look at the giant, wealthy…

Despite Russia being cash-strapped, the Russian military continues its modernization and expansion drive. Its latest effort includes the upgraded S-70 Okhotnik (Hunter) heavy combat drone, which is on its way to the military for testing. Geektrooper2 via Wikimedia Commons Hunter is developed by Chkalov’s Novosibirsk aviation plant in western Siberia — a subsidiary of the famous Sukhoi Company. As always, it’s up to western analysts to separate true capabilities from Kremlin hype. https://twitter.com/Chopsyturvey/status/1447081305213059073 But, the drone reportedly uses a Russian made-engine — the Al-41F1, which is also used on the Su-57 and the Checkmate aircraft — giving it a range of up to 3,728 miles…
Tsirkon: a Real Threat to America? As noted Russian journalist Pavel Felgenhauer pointed out in November 2021, “President Vladimir Putin declared that if the West deploys missiles to Ukraine that could reach Moscow ‘in five to ten minutes,’ Russia is ready to counter by deploying a ‘new naval hypersonic missile, which may reach [Western] decision-makers in 5 minutes, flying at Mach 9 speed.’ (Militarynews.ru, November 30).” (Emphasis added). Russia’s new nuclear-capable naval hypersonic missile [the Tsirkon] was hyped by Putin as having a speed of Mach 9,” stating that it would become operational in 2022. The context of Putin’s statement was preparations for a Russian invasion of Ukraine, not…
Opinion – It’s not the Bubonic Plague, but Team Biden acts as if it is – In the most recent example of the Biden administration’s insane overreaction to COVID, personnel wearing hazmat suits were waiting on the tarmac for Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s plane on Wednesday after a single member of the press corps tested positive for COVID-19 after a short overseas jaunt. The comically bizarre scene prompted ridicule even from establishment media sources. “Update from Blinken’s plane: We just landed on our next stop. These are the type of people who start approaching your plane after someone tests positive…
