@C__Herridge CCP lawfare continues to be a key strategic tool in china’s systematic assault on America, capitalism, freedom, democracy, and all things good in the USA.

The convergence of insider risk and AI security has never been more imperative. From an AI-security and national-security perspective, insider risk is a core AI security threat category, not merely an HR or cybersecurity issue. The human element is not yet artificial.

Great work Select Committee, kudos. So now what? At some point there must be consequences for the CCP and their continuing illegal and nefarious actions. Time to be brave America. The victim role is beyond getting old.

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

Today, the Select Committee released a new investigative report exposing the Chinese Communist Party's infiltration and weaponization of America's communications networks. The investigation found that "Chinese state-owned carriers remained deeply embedded in the U.S. internet ecosystem long after federal regulators had already found them vulnerable to CCP exploitation, influence, and control."

The investigation found:
• Their U.S. subsidiaries are not truly independent from their PRC and Hong Kong parent companies.
• They remain embedded in U.S. communications infrastructure despite federal action.
• Their residual operations pose ongoing national security risks.
The report also identified anomalous internet routing activity coinciding with major CCP-sponsored cyberattacks.

TikTok is one of the most successful nation-state influence operations in global history. CCP development/implementation of the algorithms drives what >170M Americans see everyday. >60% US adults under 30 and >65% US teens use TikTok daily. https://t.co/xFJCjIFKbb

China, the most authoritarian security state in the world, represses communications, thoughts, ideas, and freedoms of their citizens. Oh, and gestures too. Ubiquitous surveillance. BYW...Hong Kong was once a democracy until 1997. #Tiananmensquare Eyes wide open.

Worthy reminder. LinkedIn continues to be a very successful platform for government and corporate espionage by CCP intel services. https://t.co/1FUWFFnnmz. Movie: https://t.co/daZismrktJ. Eyes wide open! https://t.co/aCVriVeYFt

There is but one CHINA and one CCP. Military/civilian fusion is a core facet of Communism. Military first and civilian use of tech is second. Placing companies on an entities list is just a list if there is no deterrence for violations. @Kate_OKeeffe

Keep a close eye on Chinese and Russia’s attempt to urgently withdraw/evacuate sophisticated technical, SIGNALS, surveillance and human resources from he island of Cuba. Panic should be increasing in Moscow and Beijing. Eyes wide open! https://t.co/i0G45Vnvhr

The EV (and many other too good to be true economic partnerships with the CCP) aspect of our national security starts with every U.S. Governor and moves down hill to every Mayor and their Econ Development professional. CCP malign influence is local. Eyes wide open! @ChinaSelect

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

Chinese EVs are rolling data collection devices. They threaten our auto jobs and our military industrial base. China’s unfair trade practices are hollowing out the industries we rely on to keep America strong.

Stopping CCP-subsidized EVs is about national security and American workers.

Chairman @RepMoolenaar explains why Congress is moving to restrict Chinese-made EVs and components.

CCP malign influence and criminal behavior/activity is pervasive, strategic, and everywhere. It starts at the local and state level. From elected officials to aids and to interns. Far too many examples. Eyes wide open.

Strip away all the politics. FISA 702 is one of the most critical national security tools protecting America, our people, our things, and our interests in America, and around the globe. From terrorism to espionage and everything in between. @wstrobel https://t.co/lnpMRCDX12

[Senator Pete Ricketts @SenatorRicketts]

The Chinese Communist Party has targeted sensitive sites surrounding military installations like Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota and Fort Bragg in North Carolina. A Chinese national was recently arrested after taking sensitive photos of airframes outside of Offutt Airforce Base last week. This is a serious national security threat.

I introduced the bipartisan AFIDA Improvements Act to strengthen foreign ag land reporting. It increases transparency and information sharing. It would also require an online reporting portal for USDA.

This should be an easy NO and in all 50 states. Would also expand TikTok-like influence, surveillance, and potential disruption into vehicles. Imagine Volt/Salt Typhoon moving from critical infrastructure to cars/trucks on American roads. NO! Sen Slotkin needs to also have this hard conversation starting with her own Governor. @ChinaSelect @GovWhitmer

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

Allowing Chinese cars into the United States with full motion video, geolocation and the ability to be hacked via Bluetooth is a threat to our national security and our economic security.

[William Evanina @BillEvanina]

The "urgency" re China, and ther CCP, being an existential threat to our nation might be a decade late, but seems to be gaining serious momentum. The China threat is for every committee in Congress to address, with urgency, because China attacks, penetrates, corrupts, influences and steals from every jurisdictional fabric of America. @ChinaSelect

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

At a critical moment for U.S. national security, @HASCRepublicans Chairman @RepMikeRogersAL is leading with clarity and urgency in confronting the China threat and strengthening America’s defense posture.

In just 25 years, China has transformed from a largely defensive force into a modern military capable of projecting power across the Indo-Pacific, fueled by years of rapid industrial and military buildup and another 7% increase in defense spending this year.

From shipbuilding to munitions to critical minerals to AI and chips, America must restore and enhance its national security innovation base to meet the pacing challenge posed by China.
