Chinese scholar at UM tried to smuggle biological pathogen into the U.S., feds say

[Unkotare]

Chinese loyalty is to the Chinese Communist Party. They are all spies

Only 7% of Chinese citizens are members of the CCP.

Of all the Chinese people you personally know very well, how many of them professed loyalty to the CCP above all?

 

[Crepitus]

Obviously you don't know much about the Chinese.

And you know nothing about espionage.

You sanitize your agents, not send them with evidence.

He likely doesn't know any personally.

 

[Unkotare]

He likely doesn't know any personally.

I figured.

 

[Unkotare]

Obviously you don't know much about the Chinese.

Meaning?

 

[Unkotare]

I wouldn't be surprised, if the CCP is working on a deadly flu virus that kills everyone but East Asians.

Why would they do that? The CCP hates A LOT of people in East Asia. Look at how they treat their own people.

Even if they don’t know it.

Quebec isn't a country. Where do pull these statements from?

You must be fun at parties.

 

[BackAgain]

Look, I wanted zero Mohammedan immigration, visa's, since 1980.

Now, we need to do zero Chines immigration and visa's. Just stop it, wake up, and do it.

Bring back the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Federal agents have arrested a University of Michigan scholar from China on charges she tried to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States characterized as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon that can be used for targeting food crops.​

​

The FBI counterintelligence case against UM scholar Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Zunyong Liu, was unsealed in federal court in Detroit on Tuesday and marks the second time in less than a week a Chinese national with ties to the university has been charged with federal crimes.​

​

On Friday, prosecutors unsealed a criminal case against a former University of Michigan Chinese student who voted illegally in the 2024 election, saying he fled the U.S. to avoid prosecution.​

​

Jian is a citizen of China who received a doctorate degree in plant pathogens from Zhejiang University, and investigators say they have discovered information describing her membership in and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party. Prosecutors say she received money from a Chinese foundation funded largely by the Chinese government to conduct post-doctoral work, including research on a fungus known as Fusarium graminearum, a biological pathogen that can cause devastating diseases in crops.​

​

Prosecutors say her boyfriend illegally smuggled a biological pathogen into the U.S. at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport on July 27.​

​

"When Customs and Border Protection officers questioned Liu, he made false statements to CBP officers about the purpose of his visit to the United States, and his knowledge of the existence of the biological pathogen in his possession," an FBI special agent wrote in the criminal filing.​

​

"Ultimately, Liu admitted to smuggling the pathogen and stated that he brought the pathogen into the United States so that he could conduct research on it at a laboratory at the University of Michigan where his girlfriend, Jian, worked," the agent added.​

​

Fusarium graminearum is a strain of a plant pathogen that causes “head blight,” according to the criminal case, a disease that can devastate wheat, barley, maize and rice.​

​

"Fusarium graminearum is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year," the agent wrote. Toxins produced by Fusarium graminearum cause vomiting, liver damage and reproductive defects in livestock and humans, according to the complaint.​

​

“The alleged actions of these Chinese nationals — including a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party — are of the gravest national security concerns," interim U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon said in a statement. "These two aliens have been charged with smuggling a fungus that has been described as a ‘potential agroterrorism weapon’ into the heartland of America, where they apparently intended to use a University of Michigan laboratory to further their scheme.”​

We aren’t required to accept immigrants from enemy nations.

It’s a choice. The objectivity of that choice gets muddied by bullshit claims of “racism.”

In short, we should absolutely not take any more Chinese immigrant applicants. You’re right.

I can't tell if you are being facetious or not. If I was incorrect in your intention than I apologize.

100 million are members and they are well off, some better than others. Chinese students who are studying in the US are children of these members. After schooling, their brain power pledges allegiance to China. Look at it as a highly paid tuition for spying.

Nope. Get a better imagination.

No, real understanding based on the hundreds of Chinese families I have and do know for a long time both here and in China. Now go Google and imagine shit some more.

 

[DonGlock26]

Why would they do that? The CCP hates A LOT of people in East Asia. Look at how they treat their own people.

They would rule the planet.

 

[scruffy]

And you know nothing about espionage.

Biden was still president when that happened.

Watching too many movies ^^^.

Musk loves them.

China's population is 1,411 billion.

7% of that is 98,770,000

So, begging your pardon, "only?" Is that how we're downplaying this now?

That's almost one-third of America's total population. Do you think they will actively announce their membership in the CCP?

Which is larger, 7% or 93%?
