China’s engineers are building China’s military. Who taught them?
Kindly forward this e-mail to your senators and congressional representatives
and to as many folks as you can and then ask that those to whom you send this
forward it along to everyone they can- I am attempting to crate a “Bucket
Brigade of Truth!

My article for FrontPage Magazine today is predicated on the escalating
conflict between the United States and China concerning a host of issues.
President Trump has taken an appropriate and understandable “hard line” in
imposing tariffs on certain imports from China. However in addition to China’s
long-standing unfair trade practices that have prompted Trump’s actions, the
United States also faces Chinese computer hacking, military aggressions and
other such adversarial conduct by the Chinese regime, yet, inexplicably, the
United States continues to educate huge numbers of Chinese students who are
enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Disciplines.
It has been said that, “If you give a man a fish, you will feed him for a day-
if you teach him how to fish, you will feed him for the rest of his life.”
We are certainly teaching Chinese students, not how to fish, but to build
China’s military capabilities. Yet no one ever questions America's suicidal
practice.
Today we will explore just how stupid this practice, of educating our
adversaries, truly is.
Ignorance is not bliss. Knowledge is power so my article provides some cold
hard facts for you to consider and hopefully share with others.
Being “Pro-Enforcement” is not “Anti-Immigrant.” Indeed, advocates for
immigration anarchy are actually taking an “Anti-Immigrant” position by
obfuscating the line that separates lawful immigrants from illegal aliens. To
provide a bit of clarity, while we are indeed a “Nation of immigrants” America
is not a nation of trespassers. The difference between an immigrant and an
illegal alien is comparable to the difference between a houseguest and a
burglar.
Americans must be willing to stand their ground and not be intimidated by the
false accusations- far too much hangs in the balance! We must speak out against
mayors and governors who create “Sanctuary Cities” and “Sanctuary States.”
Many people have come to complain that we have become too “Politically Correct”
to speak the truth about important issues. My view is that the artful use of
language that has been described as examples of political correctness are in
fact, examples of Orwellian “Newspeak.”

China’s engineers are building China’s military. Who taught them?
March 27, 2018
Michael Cutler <https://www.frontpagemag.com/
By imposing tariffs on certain Chinese imports, President Trump has followed
through on a significant campaign promise to address his entirely understandable
concerns about Chinese unscrupulous trade practices and in that nation’s theft
of U.S. intellectual property, otherwise known as espionage.
China ceaselessly and belligerently hacks U.S. computers, including corporate
computers and government computers. China constructed an artificial island in
the South China Sea and has threatened military action if our vessels approach
too closely.
Even as China rattles its sabers at the United States, it is arguably building
up its military forces faster than any other country on earth and, unbelievably,
with the assistance of none other than the United States.
As we shall shortly see, those sabers being rattled by the Chines government
could likely not have been constructed without the unintended assistance of the
United States.
In point of fact, you could say that where China is concerned, the United
States has, all too often, acted irrationally against its own best interests in
dealing with that totalitarian communist regime and continues to do so.
China’s actions and threats are certainly not befitting a nation that has been
granted Most Favored Nation trade status. China is not acting as a trading
partner or ally but rather as an adversary.
China was granted Most Favored Nation trade status (MFN) by President George
H.W. Bush and then, reneging on a campaign promise, President Clinton continued
that practice purportedly because he felt that isolating China would not help to
get them to end human rights violations.
A bit of background on this issue is provided by a news report posted by MIT
<http://tech.mit.edu/V114/N27/
in 1994 is worth reviewing, It even includes a rebuke by Rep. Nancy Pelosi and
other members of Congress, back then, who opposed Clinton’s decision to impose
minor trade restrictions instead of revoking MFN because of China’s abysmal
human rights violations.
With all of the emphasis on tariffs and the possibility of an ensuing trade war
with China, another important issue has utterly escaped mention by the media and
apparently the attention of the Trump administration, the fact that the United
States is educating huge numbers of Chinese students in STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines.
This is hardly a new problem. This self-inflicted wound is one I have
addressed in an earlier article
<https://www.frontpagemag.com/
s-michael-cutler> , Foreign Student Visas: Educating America’s Adversaries.
According to the June 2017 report
<https://www.ice.gov/doclib/
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), at 152,002 the number of such Chinese
students in the United States is second only to the 173,258 STEM students from
India who are being similarly trained in the United States.
That same report noted that Saudi Arabia has 25,125 students enrolled in STEM
courses of study while South Korea has 16,474 STEM students who are being
educated in the U.S.

On March 7, 2018 Foreign Policy Magazine published a disturbing report
<https://foreignpolicy.com/
uses-chinese-students-
China’s Long Arm Reaches Into American Campuses: Beijing is stepping up efforts
to inject party ideology into student life. Some Chinese students are crying
foul.
Through its embassies and consulates in the United States, the Chinese
government has increasingly sought to instill Chinese patriotism among it
students in the U.S. and even influence school officials to promote Chinese
interests on college campuses and hence, across the United States altogether.
Indeed, we must not ignore the possibility that some of the totalitarian
tactics of Antifa and other activist groups on American college campuses are
inspired, aided and/or abetted by outside forces that include Chinese efforts to
inject their communist and totalitarian ideology onto American campuses.
We must also consider other problems created by so many foreign students-
particularly Chinese students enrolled in STEM curricula on U.S. campuses.
Foreign students who enroll in courses in the United States become eligible for

newly acquired education and skills to work in a real-world setting but also
carries with it two serious problems.
First of all, these foreign students often replace high-tech American workers.
This is certainly not good news for those hard-working and highly experienced
and skilled American middle class workers who face wage suppression or lose
their jobs outright.
Wages of foreign workers, unlike the wages earned by American workers don’t
contribute to the U.S. economy. Generally foreign workers send as much of their
their earnings as possible back to their home countries.
Second, foreign student workers are potentially provided with opportunities to
engage in intellectual property theft also known as industrial espionage.
Industrial espionage, when uncovered, generally is not punished nearly as
severely as espionage committed against our government or military. Industrial
espionage is often seen as a “white collar crime” and permits military
technology to be stolen, without dire consequences for the spy, if the theft is
carried out before the technology has been designated as pertaining to the
military.
China is currently moving rapidly to crank out the most sophisticated military
hardware of any nation including a fleet of nuclear submarines and highly
sophisticated fighter planes.
Let us also not lose sight that China is a communist country and its president
was recently provided with the option of being China’s “President for Life.”
Currently China does not have any apparent enemy nations from which it needs to
defend itself, therefore why would China be so determined to become a major
military power? Perhaps not as a means of defense but, offense.
Consider in that context, these recent headlines from Popular Mechanics about
China’s nuclear navy:
China is building the world's largest nuclear submarine facility
<https://www.popsci.com/china-
China's new ballistic missile submarine could change its prospects in nuclear
war <https://www.popsci.com/china-

Consider also these recent Popular Science headlines about China’s stealth
fighter planes:

The November 1, 2016 CNN news report
<https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/
China to show off new J-20 stealth fighter, included this excerpt:
Once reliant on imports and reverse engineering of Russian
combat aircraft and associated technologies in the early 1990s, the PLAAF has
more recently transitioned to a phase where indigenously developed systems are
entering service at an extraordinary rate.
Opinion: China's military in bid for superpower status
<http://cnn.com/2016/03/09/
The country's growing air power potential has been underpinned
by an ever more capable domestic aerospace industry that is gradually moving
China towards self-sufficiency in terms of military aircraft research and
development and production.
While it is difficult to quantify, it must be presumed that China’s “ever more
capable domestic aerospace industry” consists of engineers and other such
professionals who were trained in the United States.
On May 5, 2014 The New Yorker published an important and insightful report
<http://www.newyorker.com/
Spy - How China obtains American technological secrets. This report focused on
the espionage committed against the United States by a naturalized United States
citizen, Greg Chung, who ultimately worked on the U.S. Space Shuttle program as
an employee of the Rockwell Corporation and then Boeing, when it acquired
Rockwell.
Here is an important excerpt about how Chinese loyalists can be effectively
used to spy on the United States by a strategy known as a thousand grains of
sand:
When possible, these (Chinese) companies acquired new products by
collaborating with Western firms, by purchasing the intellectual property they
wanted, or through reverse engineering. When none of those methods was possible,
the government resorted to espionage. The Ministry of State Security and the
military intelligence service trained spies and sent them to the U.S. and
Europe. They also recruited Chinese-born scientists, engineers, and other
professionals who happened to be living abroad, especially those with security
clearances or access to trade secrets.
Sometimes these scientists were asked to procure specific information,
but often the government employed a “thousand grains of sand” approach: they
waited for disparate details to accumulate, more or less at random, until a
picture emerged.
Wikipedia has posted
<https://en.wikipedia.org/
a List of Chinese spy cases in the United States.
With all of the rancorous debates about immigration, our leaders on all levels
of government have lost sight of what should be obvious- our borders and our
immigration laws are vital for national security and public safety.
America’s adversaries, whether they are members of transnational gangs,
international terrorist organizations or spies and saboteurs operating at the
behest of their foreign governments first need to enter the United States and
then, in the parlance of the 9/11 Commission, embed themselves in communities
across the United States to enable them to carry out their nefarious and often
deadly goals.
Chinese STEM students are being welcomed with open arms into America and onto
American college campuses with little thought apparently being given to the
long-term consequences of our generosity or, perhaps, stupidity, for the
long-term best interests of our nation, including its very survival, are
concerned.
