It’s no secret that the Chinese Communist Party is up to no good in the United States, and the Biden Department of Defense seems to be aiding and abetting their sneaky efforts. The CCP is like that nosy neighbor who always wants to know what you’re up to, but instead of borrowing a cup of sugar, they’re trying to steal American technology and research. These commies are engaged in corporate espionage and trying to snatch research from universities, all while nosing around for info about the U.S. military. Talk about bold and brazen!
A group of fantastic, freedom-loving senators – Ted Budd, Tom Cotton, Rick Scott, Tommy Tuberville, Joni Ernst, Deb Fischer, and Kevin Cramer – are asking the tough questions that the Biden Department of Defense doesn’t seem keen to answer. They’re wondering why the DOD hasn’t coughed up the names of the communist Chinese entities poking their noses where they don’t belong in the good ol’ US of A. It’s like these Senators are the Sherlock Holmes of the Senate, trying to unravel this mystery.
WTH? Why Didn't the Pentagon Disclose Chinese Military Companies Operating in the US? https://t.co/U7qWMIwHcE

The senators are all fired up about this “Military-Civil Fusion” strategy cooked up by the Chinese Communist Party, which basically means they’re trying to modernize their army by blending their military efforts with civilian and commercial research sectors. That’s right, it’s like mixing peas in with your mashed potatoes – it just doesn’t belong! And what’s even worse is that some of these sketchy military and non-military Chinese entities are lurking around in the U.S. like they own the place!
The Senators are not buying the Department of Defense’s lack of action on this issue and are demanding answers. They’re waving the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act in the air like a “get your act together” flag to remind the DOD about their legal obligation to spill the beans on these CCP entities operating in the good old US of A. It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, Department of Defense, stop snoozing on the job and give us the lowdown on these troublemakers!”
These senators are not just complaining without offering solutions; they’ve got a brilliant idea. They want the DOD to keep releasing the “Chinese military companies” list to keep American and international companies in the know about which Chinese entities are cozying up to China’s military ambitions. They’re shining a great big flashlight on these shady maneuvers to make sure everyone can see what’s going on. The senators want to shine a spotlight on these underhanded activities and make sure the Department of Defense is playing by the rules.
The Senators are like the cheerleaders at a football game, rallying the crowd and demanding answers from the Biden Department of Defense. They want a briefing from Pentagon officials to explain why the DOD dropped the ball on the “Chinese military companies” list and what they’re doing to come correct. It’s like a big game of “gotcha” with the senators playing to win!
