Biden Quietly Nixes Trump-era Rules Combating Chinese Communists

Why? Is Biden really in the pocket of the Chinese? Why would he allow the Chinese to continue influencing our colleges and universities?

Records from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs revealed that Biden nixed the policy on January 26.

A spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed to Campus Reform that the policy was rescinded.
Seth Cropsey — director of the Center for American Seapower at the Hudson Institute — told Campus Reform that the policy could be part of the Biden administration recalibrating on Sino-American relations. However, he said hopes that the new administration is not trying to “placate China.”

In terms of Confucius Institutes, Cropsey remarked that it is “not normal practice, and for good reason — namely, academic independence and freedom — to allow an outside organization… to say nothing of a country that is a strategic competitor to the United States, to be able to choose professors in a program… within a university.”

Campus Reform has reported extensively on the growing influence of the Chinese government on American college campuses.

 

Another move by Biden that makes no sense either. I mean, so many people think it could be possible that China has evidence of corruption on Biden and that he might be compromised. So then Biden's first acts as president is to nix national security rules against China??

Biden’s order could let China harm US electric grid

Trump’s Executive Order 13920 declared a national emergency with respect to the nation’s electric grid and prohibited the acquisition or installation of “any bulk-power electric equipment … designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied, by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary.” In sum, Trump forbade the use of grid equipment that is made in China, Russia, or other hostile nations.

Trump’s order was a common-sense response to real, proven threats. Just last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the United States seized a Chinese-built transformer because officials believe “its electronics had been secretly given malicious capabilities, possibly allowing a distant adversary to monitor or even disable it on command.” Cybersecurity expert Joseph Weiss reported that officials found “electronics that should not have been part of the transformer — hardware backdoors” that could allow the Chinese to “effectively gain control of the transformers without any network forensics being the wiser.”

 

The QUETION you should be asking is why did the BUSH administration allow the Confucius Institutes to open here in the first place and proliferate???

 

Just like the Clinton admin, it was the Bush admin's dream, that if we brought our form of government and our ideology to China, and their people were to enjoy the wonders of capitalism, that their people would transform China into a nation freedom loving people. Bush also used this idea as his hope for transforming the Middle East, after transitioning Afghanistan and Iraq to freedom loving people.

Sadly Biden is not under even that unrealistic dream, he's just selling us out to the Chinese Communists.

 

If true, perhaps the Bush and Biden administrations have more faith in the intelligence of the American people and a stronger attachment to freedom of speech than you do.

 

That's not hard. The Bush administration, like the Obama and now Biden administration, accept the pro China establishment consensus.

We got a break from that during Trump, but now the establishment prerogatives reassert themselves.

Why don't you give us the answer?

 

Biden will do anything that increases Hunter's bank account. I'm missing Trump already.

 

That question should have been asked a couple of decades ago. We are talking about now.

 

We did have some bizarre and naive idea that a Communist country would come to love democracy and "free and fair" capitalism if we just started out with generous trade deals which heavily favored China's growth and harmed our own. Our negotiators starting with Bush and going all the way up to Trump were ignorant, gullible and inept. Trump took the mask off. China became larger and larger, but even more Totalitarian in their own system. We should have reversed course on strategy decades ago.

What has happened is that China evolved into a system where they do allow entrepreneurs and innovators to work relatively freely and to be monetarily rewarded for that work, but The State still owns every company and all means of production. Essentially they have developed a Fascist/Communist system of authoritarian ultra-nationalism, dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy while allowing some level of Public-Private partnership to keep the innovators and entrepreneurs motivated and keep the country racing to top the U.S. in economic power. It's been very successful for them and they are counting on our government to continue to be weak and conciliatory.

China has no intent to "play fair", nor to play by America's rules based on trust and goodwill. They never did. They took the best aspects of Capitalism and maintained their Communist totalitarian control at the same time.

Our Establishment, who are responsible over the past decades for creating an extremely powerful China, is now afraid of them and terrified of "hurting their feelings" for fear of reprisal or outright war. We also have a significant number of high-level people who are sympathetic to China and believe that their authoritarian system of Public-Private partnership is superior to our system of individual and private sector independence, autonomy and freedom. They believe we should evolve to be more like China than that China should be like us. Biden is appointing a lot of these China sympathizers.

I have no faith that Biden, in his dotage, has the mental capabilities to stand up to China. I don't think he knows what is going on enough to push back on anything. He just "signs stuff" and "reads teleprompters".

These are dangerous times.

 

There are so many of our national figures in the pockets of the Lying Outlaw Slavers of Beijing.
Joe Biden,
Hunter Biden,
John Kerry and his step son.
Mitch McConnell's father in law is a billionaire ship builder for the Chinese Communist Party.
Mad Dog Mattis works for the Cohen Group which is paid by the Chinese Communist Party and then the Cohen Group pays Mad Dog to speak on Chinese/American Affairs.

A great deal of our innovation is developed through our University system, and there have been University professors getting $50,000 a MONTH from the Lying Outlaw Slavers of Beijing while also passing technology to them.

They pour massive amounts of money into the NBA, Disney, Lebron James, Diane Feinstein has used her connections with the Lying Outlaw Slavers to become one of the richest people in the US Senate, and Mitch McConnell has risen to just a few slots behind her. Only Donald Trump called this out, and they coordinated to expel him from office.

COLLUSION: Did a Huawei employee ghostwrite this MIT professor’s pro-China op-ed?

 

As Biden Admin Caves on Confucius Institute, Tennessee Moves to Pick Up Slack: GOP Gov. Lee: ‘It’s increasingly a state issue when the federal government is not keeping a strong defense.’

 

Indiana AG steps up: Valparaiso axes its Chinese-funded Confucius Institute after attorney general begins probe.

You can tell who is bought: "University president suggests AG’s investigation could provoke more Asian-American hate crimes."

University claims timing is a "coincidence".

 

Don't think you fight propaganda and disinformation from an external source with spreading propaganda and disinformation over the citizens from an internal source.

And confucinism is not propaganda - and China is again moving away from confucianism towards authoritarianism in any case. "Again" - meaning that Mao had previously nixed confucianism .. the reformation after saw a return - now moving away again.

Now the Biden Admin is propaganda central - but - this decision is more about economic considerations - than anything to do with caring about Chinese influence in our Universities .. and "confucianism" we don't care about anyway .. political thougth should not be censored.

What we care about is science and technology theft - and even in this respect - China has stole everything already - and them who are now innovaters .. - we need to be stealing from them. . putting our students in their universities.. so whats not to like about restoration of relations between Universities.
