Chinese communists weaponizing woke rhetoric against Biden
The Biden administration is experiencing an uptick of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spokesmen channeling left-wing talking points aimed at discrediting American institutions.
Seeking to denounce a key Department of Justice (DOJ) counterintelligence program billed to “identify priority Chinese trade theft cases,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Zhao Lijian, invoked its domestic critics during a recent Jan. 18 presser.
“There is an old Chinese saying to the effect that ‘He who has a mind to frame others can easily trump up some charges’,” said Zhao, echoing critics’ assertions the DOJ harbors “implicit biases” and deliberately engages in “racial profiling” while investigating China Initiative cases.
Launched by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2018, the China Initiative set out to counter “China’s malign behaviors” and identified academia as one of America’s “most vulnerable sectors” to CCP espionage.
However, the China Initiative has since come under fire from Democratic Party politicians, academics, activists and mainstream media outlets.
Among the most vocal of critics are the Chinese American organization Committee of 100, Democratic Rep. Ted W. Lieu, and the Stanford University faculty group, Winds of Freedom.
Ignoring widespread and well-documented cases of CCP espionage across the corporate world, government, and within the ivory towers of academia, during the January presser Zhao parroted critics in claiming “most” China Initiative cases do “not involve intellectual property or trade secrets theft.” – READ MORE
