Two Chinese nationals convicted of operating as agents of the Ministry of State Security spy service were sentenced to prison. 2 1/2 years. Slap on wrist. Case highlights weak US security laws in dealing with Beijing’s numerous “non-traditional intelligence collectors” https://t.co/zdAXubVxJZ

New book says the U.S. is under attack from Chinese and Russian information warfare aimed at destabilizing and ultimately destroying the American system and culture.

New book reveals how decades of communist subversion are now an existential threat to the American system — China through its Marxism-Leninism and Russia through continued Soviet active measures https://t.co/2gNOWRhZs1

The Army's top commander in the Pacific says a Chinese invasion of Taiwan by April remains a real threat. The four-star's blunt warning contrasts sharply with an earlier DNI annual threat assessment that played down the danger of an imminent PLA amphibious assault across the Taiwan Strait https://t.co/zXwxP0SGw4

Marco Rubio said he and President Trump are trying to convince a reluctant Chinese government to join three-way talks with the U.S. and Russia on nuclear arms.

[Rowan Scarborough @RoScarborough]

Various Democrats have various plans for how to jail President Trump & his family, aides, friends, corporate allies & to intimidate young would-be conservatives. After all, Dems do such a great job with cities, borders, criminals, public ed., colleges. Unassailable.

In early August, the PLA Daily published an article about camouflage companies from several PLA Army’s (PLAA) Combined Arms Brigades (CAB) conducting exercises in which they employed various techniques and systems to conceal command nodes and other positions from observation by reconnaissance units.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is targeting American youth with an announced plan to bring 100,000 U.S. students to study in China. https://t.co/UdmlrsChg9

[Bill Gertz @BillGertz]

Xi Jinping is targeting American youth in a bid to attract 100k students to travel to China. Security experts say Beijing is unlikely to reach the goal as US students do not want to deal with Chinese mass surveillance and intelligence recruitment threats https://t.co/qJIW3XGFSK

[Steve Yates (葉望輝) @SteveYates]

A father’s worst phone call came on October 18, 2023.

My daughter Christina overdosed on a counterfeit Xanax laced with fentanyl. What followed were 12 days from the trauma center to the ICU to hospice — and her final breath on October 30.

This is our story. Not a statistic. Not a talking point. A family.

Part 1 of a special series on Nation States with Yates. I hope it helps prevent another family from living it.
