" Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., has proposed two amendments to the upcoming NASA funding legislation requiring companies that wish to compete for NASA contracts to pass, in essence, a background check to ensure they are not compromised by China. By no stretch of the imagination should these amendments be considered controversial.
China is a serial thief of U.S. technology. It has a long history of extorting U.S. companies by forcing them to turn over methods, materials, and marketing secrets as a condition of entering Chinaās market of 1.3 billion people. These state-sanctioned thefts require U.S. firms to name Chinese nationals to their boards and management teams, who can then take what they learn to compete against the American firmsāall with lower raw material costs because of Chinese-only purchasing rules.
China also has a long history of spying within the United States. In just the past few weeks, the U.S. government has closed a Chinese consulate in Houston, forced Chinese disinvestment from the popular social media app TikTok (the sale of the app is pending), and forced U.S. universities to close their Confucius Institutes (described by members as a place to educate others about Chinese culture, but was really an organization funded by the Chinese to install spies on U.S. campuses and to collect money).
" So maybe the mystery as to why these amendments have drawn opposition can be solved by looking at their source of the opposition. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who should know better having been spied on herself for more than two decades by a man who worked as her driver and a gofer in her San Francisco office, opposes Gardnerās amendments. She says they ācould disrupt and unfairly disadvantage certain U.S. companies in the space sector.ā
"They became fast friends; Zemin spent a Thanksgiving at Feinsteinās house in San Francisco in the 1980s, even dancing with her during an evening visit to San Francisco. During this time, the relationship between Zemin and her investor husband, Richard Blum, also grew significantly.
Feinstein worked with Zemin to establish corporate partnerships to eliminate the link between most-favored-nation status (MFN), which the Chinese coveted so they could join the World Trade Organization and Chinaās serial human rights abuses. Her high-profile public advocacy for the government to make the adjustment, which included an op-ed in the Washington Post that she penned as a freshman senator, public lobbying, eventually found success. Eventually, President Clinton granted China MFNāand shortly thereafter, the FBI reportedly traced Chinese political contributions to Feinsteinās office during that time.
DEms, the Party of traitors.
