‘Criminal State’: Unmasking the CCP’s Whole-of-Society Espionage Playbook | Nicholas Eftimiades
There are few people who understand the workings of Chinese espionage as well as Nicholas Eftimiades.
After a 34-year government career—including time at the CIA, Department of State, and Defense Intelligence Agency—he’s now a professor at Penn State University’s Homeland Security Program and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.
“China uses what we call a whole-of-society approach to conducting espionage. … We’re not talking about thousands [of people]. We’re talking about tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people engaged globally in carrying out the CCP’s will,” Eftimiades says

CCP officials and Chinese state entities poured donations into UC Berkeley: Report
By Robert Schmad May 6, 2025
Newly obtained donor records revealed that hundreds of thousands of dollars have flowed from entities linked to the Chinese government into the coffers of the University of California, Berkeley, one of the most prestigious public institutions in the nation.
Members of the Chinese Communist Party, a sanctioned Chinese research university, and Chinese state-owned enterprises have all routed donations to UC Berkeley, according to documents received by the Washington Free Beacon via a public records request. The outlet’s report came on the heels of the Trump administration launching an investigation into the university over its failure to disclose a $220 million research deal with China’s Tsinghua University — a state-run institution with deep ties to the People’s Liberation Army.
Tsinghua isn’t the only Chinese university with questionable ties that UC Berkeley has financially entangled itself with. The University of Science and Technology of China sent $60,000 to UC Berkeley to support its chemistry program in 2023. Just a year later, the Department of Commerce blacklisted the Chinese university for “acquiring and attempting to acquire U.S.-origin items in support of advancing China’s quantum technology capabilities, which has serious ramifications for U.S. national security given the military applications of quantum technologies.”

The US has a single rare earths mine. Chinese export limits are energizing a push for more
By JOSH FUNK
AP Business Writer April 18, 2025
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — America’s only rare earths mine heard from anxious companies soon after China responded to President Donald Trump’s tariffs this month by limiting exports of those minerals used for military applications and in many high-tech devices.
“Based on the number of phone calls we’re receiving, the effects have been immediate,” said Matt Sloustcher, a spokesperson for MP Materials, the company that runs the Mountain Pass mine in California’s Mojave Desert.
The trade war between the world’s two biggest economies could lead to a critical shortage of rare earth elements if China maintains its export controls long-term or expands them to seek an advantage in any trade negotiations. The California mine can’t meet all of the U.S. demand for rare earths, which is why Trump is trying to clear the way for new mines.
Rare earth elements are important ingredients in electric vehicles, powerful magnets, advanced fighter jets, submarines, smartphones, television screens and many other products. Despite their name, the 17 elements aren’t actually rare, but it’s hard to find them in a high enough concentration to make a mine worth the investment.
Tariffs will impact ore supply and costsMP Materials, which acquired the idle Mountain Pass site in 2017, said Thursday it would stop sending its ore to China for processing because of the export restrictions and 125% tariffs on U.S. imports China imposed. The company said it would continue processing nearly half of what it mines on site and store the rest while it works to expand its processing capability.

China Tariffs Are a National Security Necessity

There are plenty of economic justifications for placing tariffs on China. But bringing American manufacturing home and rebalancing global trade isn’t just about dollars and cents; it’s about keeping our country safe, our troops ready, and our enemies in check.
As a retired Air Force colonel who’s seen the world’s dangers up close, I’m telling you: we can’t keep outsourcing our strength to a rival power like China. Here’s the unfiltered truth on why tariffs matter for our national security.
China has got us by the throat when it comes to manufacturing military equipment. They’re pumping out everything from the rare earth minerals in our missiles to the chips in our drones, and we’re just handing them the keys to our arsenal.
In 2024, the United States imported $438 billion in goods from China, and they produce around 90 percent of the world’s rare earths. You think that’s an accident? Hell no. That’s a chokehold, and in a fight – whether it’s a Cold War-style standoff or a hot war in the South China Sea – they can squeeze tight. Imagine trying to keep our F-35s in the air or our Navy’s destroyers running without those materials. We’d be grounded faster than a C-130 in a sandstorm.
That’s not even to mention semiconductors. Those little chips are the lifeblood of modern warfare – critical for guidance systems, comms, you name it. China has a big slice of that pie, and we saw in 2021 how a chip shortage nearly ground this country to a halt. Ford couldn’t even get enough F-150s out the door. Now imagine how quickly every fighter jet, tank, or missile system could be rendered useless.
In a conflict, China could instantly turn off the tap of dozens of materials critical to our military readiness. Our drones go dark, our missiles miss, and our boys and girls in uniform are left swinging in the wind. That’s not just a supply chain hiccup; that’s a national security disaster.

Counterintelligence unit, FBI issue warning
China is using consulting firms, headhunters and think tanks to aggressively recruit current and former U.S. officials as spies, according to a federal counterspy unit.
“Foreign intelligence entities, particularly those in China, are targeting current and former U.S. government employees for recruitment by posing as consulting firms, corporate headhunters, think tanks, and other entities on social and professional networking sites,” the National Counterintelligence and Security Center stated in a one-page warning.
The warning was echoed by the FBI on X. “China and other foreign intelligence entities are targeting former and current U.S. government employees on social and professional networking sites,” the bureau said in a post.
The FBI is the lead federal agency in charge of domestic counterintelligence. It declared on its website that Chinese Communist Party spying is “a grave threat” and top counterintelligence priority.
Chinese spies are using sophisticated deception ploys, including job offers and other virtual appeals to target people with government experience who are seeking employment, the counterintelligence notice said.

This new book by Senator Tom Cotton, ‘The Seven Things You Can’t Say About China’ is a chilling wake up call to the danger China presents to the world. It gives the historical ascent of China from the time of Mao to the power house they are today. While we enthusiastically buy the “cheaper China products” we need to remember the Chinese Communist Party is using our money to build their military in order to defeat us ! Nancy
Seven Things You Can’t Say About China Hardcover –
February 18, 2025 Author – Senator Tom Cotton
#1 New York Times Bestseller
Senator Tom Cotton offers an unflinching look at the deadly threat of Communist China and reveals the truth about America’s most dangerous enemy. “
“As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I’m often asked if the threat from China is as bad as it seems. My answer is no—it’s worse than you can imagine.”
Seven Things You Can’t Say About China is Tom Cotton’s provocative exposé about the gravest threat to American freedom. The media, Hollywood, academia, Wall Street, and most politicians can’t—or won’t—speak the truth about China. But Senator Cotton will, because America needs to know.
In this hard-hitting book, he reveals what others refuse to say, including:
- The inside story—drawn from his intelligence and national-security experience and knowledge—on how deeply the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated America.
- How China persecutes Christians and commits genocide against religious and ethnic minorities.
- The alarming rise of China’s armed forces and nuclear arsenal, which will soon rival our own.
- The danger our children face from China’s influence on Hollywood, the NBA, TikTok, and so much more.
- How China lied, stole, and cheated its way to wealth while devastating America’s workers and businesses.
Seven Things You Can’t Say About China sounds the alarm about Communist China’s carefully crafted plans to defeat America in the coming decade—and what we must do to fight back.

The Biggest Financial Scandal in History—And You May Be Part of It: Roger Robinson
Views 34.6K •
Apr-03-2025
[RUSH TRANSCRIPT BELOW] Tens of millions of Americans are unwittingly investing in Chinese companies involved in military weapon production, surveillance technologies, and egregious human rights abuses, says former Reagan adviser Roger Robinson.
Through a complex web of investment vehicles and regulatory loopholes, Americans are pouring trillions of dollars into companies that directly threaten American national security, including ones blacklisted by the U.S. government—often without even knowing. Chinese companies often make up the bulk of index funds like emerging markets funds that many Americans invest in.
“You have … companies that are responsible for manufacturing China’s most advanced weapon systems,” Robinson says. “We’re funding, in some ways, our own demise.”
During the Reagan administration, Robinson served as senior director of international economic affairs at the National Security Council, where he played a linchpin role in Reagan’s economic strategy against the Soviet Union. He’s the co-founder of the Prague Security Studies Institute and former Chairman of the Congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission
