The US is facing a surge of illegal immigrants at the border. And a large
number of Chinese nationals are among them. Has China weaponized the border crisis?
Welcome to China Uncensored, I’m Chris Chappell.
There is a border crisis in America.
And China could be behind it.
There is a huge number of Chinese people illegally crossing the border.
There’s always been Chinese people illegally crossing the US-Mexico border.
But this year, there’s been a huge spike.
Now, I get it. If I were living in China, I’d want to get out of Dodge too.
China’s economy…isn’t so hot.
Plus you know, you can disappear for comparing Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh.
Or other cartoon villains. Oh my gosh that does look like Xi.
But what’s happening at the US Mexico border now might be a bit more sinister
than just people fleeing a repressive regime. Packs, packs of Chinese males of military age,
unattached to family groups, pretending not to speak English. These are probably saboteurs who
are coming in on the first day of war with Asia. I think that we’re going to see acts of sabotage,
assassinations, detonations of bombs, starting wildfires, and the Biden administration
is paying no attention to this at all.” Now that may sound pretty alarmist. And Gordon
Chang has been known to make some predictions about China that weren’t the most accurate.
But there is actually evidence to back that up. We know that Chinese nationals
are engaged in espionage in the US. US officials told the Wall Street
Journal recently that “Chinese nationals, sometimes posing as tourists, have accessed
military bases and other sensitive sites in the U.S. as many as 100 times in recent years.”
This includes things like scuba diving near a U.S. government rocket-launch site in Florida
or using a tour of the White House to illegally take pictures of the White House grounds.
The FBI says it’s been overwhelmed by the amount of espionage cases coming from China.
FBI Director Chris Wray said back in 2021 that the FBI is opening a
new case on Chinese activity every 10 hours. He said half
of all FBI counterintelligence cases are now related to China.
And you can’t say what China is doing is just what every country does. Chinese espionage is unique.
Intelligence chiefs of all the big English speaking countries, nicknamed the Five Eyes,
came together last month to raise awareness about the threat of Chinese espionage.
“I recognize up front that all nations spy, all nations seek secrets,
and all nations seek strategic advantage. But the behavior we’re talking about here goes
well beyond traditional espionage.” Unlike the US, where there’s a clear
distinction between spies and civilians, China uses what’s called civil-military
fusion. Which just means it uses anyone and everyone to carry out its dirty work.
So should we be worried about this huge influx of
illegal Chinese immigrants crossing the border? Yeah.
But there’s an even bigger reason to be concerned about illegal Chinese immigration.
I’ll tell you more, after the break. Welcome back.
There’s been a wave of illegal Chinese immigration to the US. And some are
concerned this isn’t just people fleeing the Chinese Communist Party.
The CCP is actually weaponizing the border crisis.
This is China’s former Defense Minister, Chi Haotian We have a copy of a secret
speech he gave to high level Communist Party officials sometime before he retired in 2003.
One of the things he said was,
“It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is
the only path that will secure a Chinese century in which the CCP leads the world”
seems like a nice guy.
But he also goes on to talk about how there are too few resources
in China and that the pollution has made China almost unlivable.
So China must colonize other countries. He says,
and I quote, “the great revitalization of the Chinese nation, which, of course,
is not limited to the land we have now but also includes the whole world.”
And he specifically says “Only countries like the United States,
Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.”
And he says the government “must lead the Chinese people outside of China.”
The way he saw it, Chinese nationals moving abroad solved two problems. The first was China’s limited
capital and expertise. He believed overseas Chinese could help bring both back to China
from more advanced, wealthy nations, which would help China develop both its economy and military.
The second was resource scarcity in China. Yes, as far as he’s concerned,
your local chinatown is really just a way to expand the Chinese race. And no,
I’m not kidding. He actually said that. The only thing standing in the CCP’s way—
the US.
He argues that if China can take down the US,
all other world powers would bow down before China, which is why “solving
the ‘issue of America’ is the mission assigned to the CCP members by history.”
To him, the issue of taking over Taiwan is really
just a red herring. War over Taiwan is really about going to war over the US.
So how does China plan to take over the US? Well,
really, from his perspective, there are limited options.
He says China could just nuke the US.
But he didn’t like that idea. Not because it would kill millions of people—he
liked it for that. The problem is it would contaminate US resources that China wants.
So he says “Only by using non-destructive weapons
that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves.”
So what are those non-destructive weapons? Why, biological weapons, of course!
Chi talked about Chinese progress in this area,
saying “We are capable of achieving our purpose of ‘cleaning up’ America all of a sudden.”
And I’m not going to connect any dots because YouTube might take down this channel.

But here’s where illegal immigration comes in.
A few weeks ago, we spoke with Joseph Humire ,the executive director of the
Center for a Secure Free Society, on our podcast, China Unscripted.
He’s an expert on Latin America and issues around the southern US border, and he told
us that China is coordinating its actions in the region with Venezuela, Russia, and Iran.
One of their goals is clearly to destabilize the US. And one of the ways they’re
doing that is through illegal immigration. Certain regimes in the region specifically going
back to Venezuela have weaponized migration. Venezuela is the largest mass migration in
the history of the Western Hemisphere. It's largest currently in the world. 7.7 million
Venezuelans have fled that country since 2014. And so to be able to weaponize migration,
they had to direct that migration North.” And China is directly benefiting from this.
So China capitalizes on that weaponized migration strategy to be able to insert its own operatives
and and I don't have I can't share specific details but I’ve traveled to Panama, Colombia,
I've traveled a lot of these borders over the years and more recently was told specifically by
specific authorities in some of these countries about individuals that they have high suspicion
belong to not the [People’s Liberation Army] per se but Chinese intelligence Services.
He's not the only one hearing this, either. Congressman Mark Green ,who chairs the House
Homeland Security Committee, said he was told by a Border Patrol chief that people connected to
China’s military are being let into the country with other illegal immigrants.
This is a life or death struggle the US is engaged in. And these kinds of
conflicts have happened all throughout history.

Today’s question comes from StatedChimp. “If the CCP wants to remain in power and be relevant,
do you think it’s willing to modify its existing ideology and allow some degree of democracy into
China, or have it stay the way it is, and let it destroy itself from within? I know many foreign
and even domestic companies are leaving China, so with the current circumstances as it is now,
do you think that it has finally seen the writing on the wall, or is it too blind for good?”
Fantastic question. I don’t think the CCP will be able to make that kind of reform. Fundamentally,
it’s a Marixst Leninist regime. It’s illiberal. That’s just inherent in its ideology. If that
were to change, it wouldn’t be the CCP. On top of that, the lesson the CCP took
from the Soviet Union and it’s collapse was that the reforms Gorbachev attempted is what
caused their Communist Party to collapse. So very specifically, the CCP is against those
kinds of reforms. And anyone who tried to make reforms would be purged by the rest of the Party.
So thank you question and your support StatedChimp.
So—why do people keep engaging in these kinds of life or death power struggles like the one
the US and China are engaged in? That’s the topic of the latest episode from my
