  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

China....that's who.


Now, I picked the Gothamist article because it includes the propaganda vid Hochul recorded for China...which is pretty wild. Before anyone makes fun of Hochul though....I'd point out she's the one who eventually tipped off the FBI. One wonders what finally made her suspicious....because the propaganda video didn't. Sun and Hu operated for 9 years....influencing policy and gatekeeping access to Democratic Party governors. Governors are apparently a target for the Chinese because they're easily inflitrated.

While many dismiss concerns about Walz, win or lose, I'd rather find out now than later.

I'm sorry, but what is the connection here with Walz?

The accused was a Sr Aide to NY Gov Hochul and, I understand, her predecessor. Why it took this long to uncover her activity is a big question I have.

He's also a Democratic governor with significant Chinese connections.

Apparently she was a big proponent of diversity.

Ah, so guilt by position association...
I wonder how many of the nation's 50 governors have met with the Chinese Counselor assigned to their state.

Yea, we better be careful of people who are different....

Guilt probably wouldn't be the right word.

More like "cause for a little extra investigating" by position association.

Canadian journalists found that the Chinese government was operating what they referred to as "secret police stations" (102 of them across over 50 countries)

That's why even the Canadian government has even put additional laws in place to prevent specific Chinese entities from being able to acquire land in Canada out of "espionage concerns" (a move that sparked some outrage and accusations of bigotry when a few US states did the same)

China doesn't play by the same (conventional) rules as another nations when it comes to influence peddling.

Their tactics are probably best described as a much more refined, modernized version of Russian Cold War Tactics.

Agreed. And I am positive the Counter-Intelligence resources of the FBI are watching these Chinese agents carefully.

However, I have not seen reporting indicating governor's offices have been targeted. And for Gov Walz, he had one meeting with the Chinese official based out of Chicago....which is not unusual. So these accusations (from the Congressiional Oversight Committee chair) are politically motivated. Where is the beef?

I'm talking about his multiple trips to China for...language lessons?

Ok.

Well, I'm sure that despite all their attempts to subvert local and state governments have somehow let Walz slip through the cracks.


Yea, we better be careful of people who are different....

? Again...what are you saying?

There's this really naive and ignorant view of the world held by the left... that every culture is equal to ours, and the idea that anyone is hostile or has bad intentions towards us is a paranoid baseless notion built on xenophobia.

These people really shouldn't be voting....seriously. They're oblivious to how the world works.

Potentially compromised is how I'd put it.

He has friends in China. He has people he cares about in China. This is the sort of thing China uses against people to get them to cooperate.

Why? This spy operated for 9 years. She literally had Hochul doing Chinese propaganda videos.

The FBI has been very focused on setting up white rednecks with little affection for the US government, and parents who attend school board meetings.


However, I have not seen reporting indicating governor's offices have been targeted.

Why would you? Did you see reports Cuomo and Hochul were targeted?

What are you talking about?



And for Gov Walz, he had one meeting with the Chinese official based out of Chicago....which is not unusual. So these accusations (from the Congressiional Oversight Committee chair) are politically motivated. Where is the beef?

He taught English, in China, visiting a minimum of 30 times.

You know how those police stations operated...don't you?

They find their target, and explain what will happen to their loved ones in China if they fail to cooperate. Obviously their ability to punish people here is limited.

Supposedly,, one of the police stations exists in Minneapolis.

Multiple trips made decades ago....long before he become governor.

I see, your gripe is with the FBI's perceived priorities....you know, the FBI can address both the Chinese and "white redneckds with little affection for the US government.

He taught English, in China, visiting a minimum of 30 times.

Again, that was a long time ago. I suggest you review the timeline...
