The Chinese spies among us
Trump 2.0 is rooting them out
COMMENTARY
By Kelly Sadler - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 5, 2025
OPINION:
A dangerous biological pathogen — one that can cause disease in wheat, barley, maize and rice, wiping out crops and leading to vomiting, liver damage and birth defects if ingested — was smuggled into the U.S. by two Chinese nationals, the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Michigan announced Tuesday.
The fungus, called Fusarium graminearum, is defined in scientific literature as a “potential agroterrorism weapon” and is responsible for “billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year,” the U.S. attorney’s office said.
Yunqing Jian, a member of the Chinese Communist Party, received funding from the Chinese government to study the pathogen in China and allegedly intended to use her research fellow position at the University of Michigan to further it, knowing the pathogen’s imminent threat to public safety and that there were restrictions on the importation of the material.
“This case is a sobering reminder that the CCP is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply, which would have grave consequences … putting American lives and our economy at serious risk,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement Tuesday.
The Chinese are waging a war against America on our own soil. In 2020, the FBI reported that about half its nearly 5,000 counterintelligence cases involved China. Ian Mitch, a senior policy researcher at Rand Corp., warned in Newsweek in April that China’s spy network “may be developing the skills to physically sabotage critical infrastructure [in the U.S.] during a conflict.”
In 2023, Politico reported that two Chinese were indicted on charges of operating an unlawful Chinese police station in Manhattan used to silence dissenters in the U.S. and that “security agencies across Europe and the Americas are investigating more than 100 facilities that an advocacy organization exposed in September as overseas outposts of China’s security apparatus.”
It has been well documented that China is purchasing American farmland, often near sensitive military sites. According to the Department of Agriculture, foreign investments in U.S. agricultural land grew to approximately 40 million acres in 2021, about as much as the entire state of Nebraska.
Still, Chinese infiltration in our higher institutions — stealing trade, intellectual property and other sensitive research — remains the most nefarious and is why Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced last week that the U.S. government would “aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”
