China’s Hidden Plan To Attack America From Within

China is preparing for war with the U.S. Much has been written recently about how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), often through its interests and lackeys, has been increasingly buying up large tracts of American farmland.

Often, these farmlands are near or adjacent to strategic U.S. military bases, including nuclear silo sites and strategic bomber airfields.

While Chinese nationals own just under 1% of foreign-owned U.S. farmlands, at 277,336 acres, it is enough to cause great concern.

Why? Because China is preparing to fight and win a major war against the United States. And what better way to beat us than to hit us from inside, without using nuclear weapons?

A lot of the focus has been on how China can use these farmlands for spying on U.S. military and other sensitive sites, and this is a serious concern. But even more concerning is China’s ability to use that land to sabotage or attack critical U.S. infrastructure, including the electrical grid, or attack the U.S. in other ways.

Another threat is China building massive cryptocurrency data mining servers on land in the U.S.

In a recent 60 Minutes interview, former national security official David Feith laid out the potential risks from China’s ownership and use of U.S. land.

As CBS News notes, Feith worked on U.S.-China policy in the first Trump administration, and until April, worked under Trump on the NSC. While there, he grew increasingly alarmed by where China owns America’s farmland.

Feith told 60 Minutes:

The ability to own large tracts of land, especially close to sensitive U.S. military and government facilities, can pose an enormous problem given the nature of technology today, which is that hostile actor from all across the world can very easily exploit access to land, access to buildings and warehouses, access just to a shipping container or two and do enormous damage, either in intelligence terms or in military terms.

CBS News added:

Feith cited Ukraine’s recent drone attack in Russia as an example. In June, the Ukrainian military attacked Russian nuclear-capable bombers with remotely operated drones it had smuggled into the country.

For China, Feith explained, owning farmland in the United States gives America’s geopolitical rival more operating room for potential strikes.

“It’s an entirely new way of war,” he cautioned.

Could China base containers with portable missile and drone launchers on these farmlands, and launch them on command, similar to how Ukraine attacked Russian strategic bomber bases from within? Absolutely.

Feith added that, “In the view of U.S. intelligence officials and government leaders now for years, China is preparing to be able to fight and defeat the U.S. military in a war.” This means they are working hard to use any means necessary.

And since communist China is the first potential U.S. enemy to have virtually unlimited resources, this is a big threat.

Another way China can attack the U.S. from inside is using Crypto mines, as they are known. These are massive data centers loaded with powerful electricity-guzzling computers used to validate transactions with cryptocurrency. Feith believes they could be used for espionage or to sabotage the electric grid.

“They’re effectively enormous and enormously powerful data centers,” Feith said. “The first threat they pose is for intelligence collection. And the second threat is that they can sabotage the power grid because they draw so much power.”

These powerful Chinese data centers are often located near sensitive U.S. military facilities.

Meanwhile, to its credit, CBS News, with its interview of former NSA chief and retired Gen. Tim Haugh, also reported on China’s growing ability to target every American for espionage and cyber-attack.

According to Haugh, China is attempting every single day to target telecommunications, to be able to target critical infrastructure, both in the U.S. and allied countries.

In this 60 Minutes interview, Gen. Haugh said:

… initially we were surprised that China would target every American with these capabilities. That goes against every norm of international law. That certainly goes against how the U.S. military would approach targeting in a crisis or a conflict. That the fact that they would go after basic services as part of their effort that they have identified as unrestricted warfare is unconscionable.

Haugh added that:

They targeted [local] water [plants]. They targeted electrical power infrastructure; transportation are examples of the types of things that were targeted. And in many cases they’re vulnerable.

A sampling of critical places targeted by China over the last few years include New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, 13 gas pipeline operators, the port of Houston and major phone companies. 

When asked if China is preparing for war with the U.S., Haugh answered:

There was no other reason to target those systems. There’s no advantage to be gained economically. There was no foreign intelligence-collection value. The only value would be for use in a crisis or a conflict.
