Gordon Chang: How China is spying on the United States

Gordon Chang, senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute, looks at Fufeng, a CCP-linked Chinese company that aims to set up a business in the United States near a US military base, on “The Ingraham Angle”.

A propagandist for the Chinese state and columnist for China Daily launched a racial slur on Twitter against a prominent critic of the communist regime, Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China”.

After Chang tweeted that the US “shouldn’t rely on #China for anything”, China Daily columnist Chen Weihua hit back with a racist comeback.

“Good. Edit your genes. You don’t deserve to look a bit Chinese,” Weihua wrote.

Another Chinese state-affiliated media personality, Shanghai Daily columnist Andy Boreham, called Chang “self-loathing”.

“If it weren’t for your disgusting attitude towards China, you would be penniless my friend,” Boreham wrote.

He is a self-proclaimed “Kiwi in China” who shares propaganda-style videos in English and Mandarin on his Twitter account.

Chang pointed to Weihua’s harassing tweet as a clear example of the CCP’s inherent racism. “Your personal attack below, @chenweihua, exposes the inherent racism in your #CCP. You are a disgrace, both to #China and to humanity.”

Chang told Fox News Digital he was not particularly surprised by Weihua’s attack, only that Weihua had said so in public. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought that, but I was surprised he wrote it on Twitter.”

Weihua’s words, Chang explained, are driven by the same racialized “Han nationalism” that “permeates Chinese communist thought and teaching.” It’s a philosophy that equates “supporting the Communist Party” with “being Chinese,” he added.

“I rebel against this. Yes, the Communist Party rules China,” Chang said. “But it’s not China.” He continued, “I think you can be Chinese and criticize Chinese Communism.”

Chang told Fox Digital he called on the United States to stop relying on China for basic pharmaceuticals like ibuprofen. “Ibuprofen shortage” sparked the row, he said.

“China manufactures most of the world’s active pharmaceutical ingredients,” Chang said, giving the communist country an edge over other countries, such as the United States and even Japan.

The conclusion is clear, he said: “For the things we need, we should not rely on China at all. We shouldn’t rely on a country, but we certainly shouldn’t rely on a hostile regime that has declared a people’s war on us. .”
