Chinese companies are required to assist with espionage and their products are constantly getting caught sending data back to China.

Imagine how much data the CCP has from all the different devices bought by Americans. We are subsidizing our own surveillance.

Congratulations @ElonMusk.

Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.

He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.

He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.

Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:

A Chinese Tracker Was Riding in the PM's Car. Britain Approved the Mega-Embassy Anyway.

For years, Britain's establishment treated Chinese infiltration as a theoretical risk. This week, the theory met the road.

In testimony before the Commons Business and Trade Committee, veteran China hand Charles Parton — twenty-two years of a 37-year diplomatic career spent working on China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan — confirmed what Whitehall had spent years deflecting: the tracking device pulled from a UK government vehicle in 2022 was riding inside the Prime Minister's own car. As reported by the Daily Mail, the bug was buried inside a sealed, Chinese-manufactured component and quietly streamed location data back to China via a cellular module — for an unknown stretch of time.

Which Prime Minister? Johnson, Truss, or Sunak — all three sat in that seat during 2022. The answer remains classified. The implication does not: every meeting, every visitor, every late-night swerve from Downing Street, mapped in real time by a hostile state.

Then came the second blow. A covert recording device was discovered inside a Whitehall complex housing the Home Office and MHCLG — the very ministry that in January signed off on Beijing's 215,000-square-foot "mega-embassy" at Royal Mint Court. Officials caution that no attribution has yet been confirmed. But the optics are radioactive: the building that green-lit China's largest European outpost was itself bugged.

Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart called the camera discovery "a serious incident that demands urgent investigation." He is understating it. This is two strikes inside the British state's nerve centre — alongside last week's Five Eyes warning that Chinese operatives are baiting UK officials with fake LinkedIn job ads.

The strategic question writes itself: how does a government that cannot keep a tracker out of the PM's chassis, or a camera out of its corridors, justify hosting a Chinese embassy compound metres from the fibre-optic spine of the City?

Beijing dismisses it as "groundless rumour." London calls it a planning decision. History will likely call it a self-inflicted intelligence catastrophe.

A spy camera was hidden inside a UK government building. In the very office where China's massive embassy in London was approved.

Democracies all need to wake up to China's espionage operations. This is happening in the UK the US, Canada etc...

@grahamformaine I participated in the SpaceX IPO today. Over 4,400 current and former SpaceX employees are expected to become (or have become) millionaires from the IPO. Elon Musk has done more to benefit mankind in a single day than you will in your entire lifetime.

[Lee Humphrey @tleehumphrey]

This has been clear for almost 20 years & was why the Harper gov cut all funding to UNRWA.

Fast forward to 2016, it’s still clear that UNRWA supports Hamas, teaches antisemitic hate in their schools & allows Hamas to hide weapons, ammunition & fighters in their facilities yet Trudeau restores their funding. In 2017, he doubles it. In 2025, Carney not only extends the UNRWA funding but adds a one time extra $60 million dollar payment to the annual $50 million.

Why is Canada funding terrorism & the teaching of hate to children? Why @liberal_party gov?

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

Ridiculous, but we can’t be shocked. UNRWA is just a Hamas front being propped up by YOUR tax dollars at this point.

It’s time to pass my Stop Support for UNRWA Act so American taxpayers aren’t forced to fund this JIHADIST SCAM organization.

[Adam Kredo @Kredo0]

SCOOP: Federal Probe Finds 101 More UNRWA Staffers Are Hamas Soldiers From Oct. 7 -- "UNRWA school principals, teachers, security personnel, attendants, psychosocial counselors, and medical professionals" doubled as terrorists, @AidOversight concludes https://t.co/WlqJKcVTEF

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority @HouseForeignGOP]

Any dollar sent to UNRWA is a dollar sent to Hamas. American tax dollars should never be used to fund these terrorists.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

Your reminder that the Labour government decided to restore taxpayers’ money to an organisation infested with terrorists.

If you criticize the Chinese government from overseas, your parents can lose their pensions, your siblings can lose their jobs, and your children can be barred from universities. This is not a side effect of CCP policy. It is the policy.

Human rights organizations Safeguard Defenders and Chinese Human Rights Defenders have documented what they describe as a systematic revival of lianzu, China's ancient collective punishment system, adapted for the Xi Jinping era. When an overseas dissident speaks out, the consequences flow to everyone who shares their blood inside China.

The documented forms are specific. Parents and siblings lose jobs in state enterprises or government positions. Family businesses face sudden, relentless tax audits with no resolution. Pensions and social benefits are frozen without formal charges. Children, nieces, and nephews receive political black marks on their records that block university admission, passport applications, and the political vetting required for any stable career in China.

The cases are real and named. Dong Jianbiao, father of activist Dong Yaoqiong, who threw ink on Xi Jinping's portrait in a 2018 video, was detained after his daughter's act and died in prison under circumstances that remain unexplained. Activist He Fangmei's young children, including a newborn, were placed in psychiatric facilities or disappeared from contact after she continued speaking out. Wang Quanzhang, a lawyer arrested in the 2015 crackdown on human rights attorneys, had his child face school difficulties while he was held incommunicado for years.

In December 2023, China's own Legislative Affairs Commission quietly acknowledged that some local governments had been applying collective punishment in anti-fraud campaigns, restricting family benefits and loans of suspects' relatives, and called it unconstitutional. The rebuke was narrow. It covered those specific campaigns. It did not address the same practices applied to political dissidents, which continued without interruption.

The United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch have all raised concerns. China denies systematic collective punishment and describes these actions as lawful enforcement. The families living under these measures are not in a position to publicly disagree.

The CCP reaches through borders, through blood, and across generations to ensure that the cost of speaking is paid by everyone who loves you.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

Democrats in New York passed a bill this week that changes mother and father to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent."

Just another example in a long line of idiotic ideas.

You can’t make this up. It's common sense vs CRAZY!

[Guy Benson @guypbenson]

“Who is the terrorist? The United States of America!”

This is Mamdani’s endorsed candidate for Congress, as the October 2023 Hamas massacre that killed dozens of American citizens was still unfolding. Understand what is happening here.

There is no chance he’s not aware of this. He knows. He supports it. He literally endorses it. Mamdani himself was arrested protesting at Chuck Schumer’s house just days after 10/7, preemptively opposing the Jewish state’s response to the slaughter through disorderly conduct outside a prominent Jew’s home. This is who he is.

[Young Kim @RepYoungKim]

America’s fentanyl crisis is made in China.

The CCP is subsidizing the deadly chemicals killing Americans & sees strategic value in America’s suffering.

No more. I’m working with President Trump to reauthorize fentanyl sanctions & shut down Beijing’s poison pipeline.

[Michael Ron Bowling @mrbcyber]

China's transnational repression is incredibly aggressive. Agents working for the CCP actually stalked a US Olympic athlete.

Ignoring the harassment she won gold for the USA.

[Rep. Andy Ogles @RepOgles]

The CCP murdered its own citizens 37 years ago during the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

They were murdered because they stood against communist tyranny, and to this day, the CCP denies the massacre ever happened.

That is why @SenRickScott and I want to remind the CCP of the truth by renaming the street in front of the Chinese Embassy in our Nation’s Capital “Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard."

We cannot let them forget.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

'If you want to know what sort of man Sir Keir Starmer is, consider these two clues'

'First, note how slow he was to make any public comment about the murder of Henry Nowak. And second, note how quick he was to condemn his political opponents for speaking up about it.'
