Pompeo warns Biden: Deterrence against China depends on a statement of action support

Reporter : Li Jiaxin / Editor : Mei Lan / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/04/26/a103104297.html / Direct translation



Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently reminded Republicans in Congress to be particularly vigilant against threats from the CCP, especially the CCP’s espionage activities. He also warned the Biden administration that only with consistent words and deeds can the current tough language constitute a deterrent to the CCP.

According to a report by the Washington Examiner on 25 April, Pompeo recently participated in a closed-door luncheon hosted by the Republican Study Committee, the conservative caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives, during which he was asked. Many questions about the CCP. With regard to President Biden's ability to deal with the national security challenges facing the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, Republicans at the meeting also asked Pompeo to conduct an assessment and compare it with former President Trump.

"Frankly speaking, the words are good, but in the end the important thing is action." Pompeo said, "Everyone has a good plan before being beaten in the face, right? The Chinese will definitely...slap us in the face. Then we will see whether this government has the backbone to do the right thing."

Pompeo believes that the "core challenge of our time" is that the CCP is trying to replace the United States as a global economic and military power, and this is not just an external threat, these threats are here. He reviewed the Trump administration's decision to close the Chinese consulate in Houston and pointed out that it was the center of Chinese espionage activities.

"The Chinese Communist Party has carried out a lot of influential actions in the United States." Pompeo added, and urged lawmakers to work with elected officials in their respective regions, including city council members, county committees, and school board members, to help identify those Projects and investments funded by Beijing that appear to be benign but actually cover espionage activities.

Pompeo warned that the CCP’s attempt to influence all these officials is deep and wide, and it continues.

Participating in this discussion, in addition to the members of the House Republican Research Committee led by the Indiana Republican Representative Jim Banks (Jim Banks), there are also some Republican guests like Pompeo, such as the former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, Florida Senator Rick Scott, etc., among which Scott is currently the Republican National Committee of Senators (NRSC) Chairman, responsible for the midterm elections of the Senate next year.

In the past week, Pompeo commented on some current foreign policies. Pompeo expressed his appreciation for the Biden administration's strengthening of the four-party cooperation with India, Japan, and Australia. He said, "When they do this, we should applaud for them."

But Pompeo also warned that the containment of the CCP will largely depend on the credibility of the United States and that Biden should avoid making the mistake of being hard-line with the CCP but failing to support himself with a similar offensive policy.

"If you make a promise, but don't fulfill it, that is the most dangerous thing you can do." Pompeo warned, "Deterrence depends on a credible statement backed by actual actions."

Avoid quarantined hotels and take U.S. taxis to return to Canada

Reporter : Chu Fangming, Toronto / Editor : Wenfang

Recently, the border taxi and limousine service business in the United States is booming because many Canadians want to return home by land to avoid flying back to Canada as it is compulsory to stay in a 3-day quarantine hotel.

In order to prevent the epidemic, the Canadian government requires passengers entering the country by land and air to be tested for the virus before returning and within 3 days after arrival, and to be isolated for 14 days after arriving in Canada. The difference is that only those who fly to Canada must stay at the government-designated isolation hotel for 3 days at their own expense.

Hot U.S. border taxi industry

According to Reuters, representatives of four companies said that many Canadians returning home to avoid staying in segregated hotels first land in the United States, such as an airport in New York State, and then change to a taxi to enter Canada. As a result, American taxi business is surprisingly good.

John Arnet, general manager of the 716 Luxury Taxi Company in Buffalo, New York, said, "The calls of the guests (booking taxis) are ringing from 6 in the morning to 12 in the evening. Because there is too much business, we can’t don't push away a lot." The company's current business is to send Canadians to their homes in Ontario, not to send American guests home.

Canadian travel insurance broker Martin Firestone said that a taxi would cost about US$200 or US$250 to bring guests into Canada, while staying in a hotel for 3 days would cost more than US$1,200 (US$961).

Affected by the pandeemic, most of the land borders between Canada and the United States have been closed for more than a year, and the overall tourism industry has declined. The recent surge in taxi business has given some struggling taxi companies a sigh of relief.

Nick Boccio, general manager of the Buffalo Limousine Taxi Company, said that Canadian guests helped the company recall the driver. Last Friday (23 April), Bosio said that only one Canadian passenger from a Florida flight, nine people took the company's taxi back to Canada.

Firestone said that some Canadian guests spent the winter in Florida and are now returning by land to avoid staying in isolated hotels. Some people choose to take a taxi, while others take their car to the United States and then drive back to Canada. "Every luxury taxi company is following suit." Firestone said.

U.S. drivers said that some Canadian guests asked to take them home, while others took a car to the U.S.-Canada border, crossed the border into Canada on foot, and took another car home in Canada.

With Li Keqiang's words, many people were shocked and silenced again

On the 21st, Li Keqiang presided over an executive meeting of the State Council. The CCP media only reported that the meeting deployed a normalized direct financial fund mechanism and passed the "Land Management Law Implementation Regulations", again omitting many of Li Keqiang's original words.

On the 23rd, the website of the State Council of the Communist Party of China published a special article "The Standing Committee of the State Council passed this draft Li Keqiang emphasizes strict adherence to the red line of cultivated land protection", supplementing some of Li Keqiang's original words and telling some facts about China's agriculture. Li Keqiang said, "China has more people and less land, and the per capita arable land area is less than half of the world average." "Strictly observe the red line of arable land protection and build the cornerstone of national food security."

 The Epoch Times commentator Zhong Yuan wrote on April 24 that there was no specific conception of the small per capita arable land in China. Li Keqiang's words may shock many people. "The per capita arable land is less than half of the world average." The CCP lied that there was no food crisis. At this level of arable land, as long as there is a slight natural and man-made disaster, it will inevitably fall into a food shortage.

Li Keqiang said, "We must ensure that the red line of cultivated land protection is firmly held." Zhong Yuan believed that: Li Keqiang did not dare to reveal the real reason for China's backward agriculture. In contrast, the major agricultural developed countries in the world have already achieved large-scale operations, and have also given birth to the development of agricultural technology modernization. The so-called number of farmers has been greatly reduced, and at the same time, the process of industrialization has been promoted. Xi Jinping’s self-proclaimed big country has not only a large drop in the level of industrial science and technology, but also lags behind in agriculture. It is still relying on manual labor to cultivate land. If there is no opportunity to go out to work, a large number of agricultural

The village population is bound to be poor. On the 20th, the State Council website also published an article "Li Keqiang's Investigation in Sichuan." From the 19th to the 20th, Li Keqiang visited Guangyuan, Deyang, and Chengdu in Sichuan. The article stated that Li Keqiang inspected rice seedlings to understand food production and income. He also asked villagers about their job opportunities and income. Li Keqiang praised "Chinese farmers are amazing, they are responsible for food production, ensuring national food security, and economic construction, and promoting national development through hard work."

Zhong Yuan said that Chinese farmers want to protect the jobs of the Chinese people and also serve as wage earners, but they are a poor group of people in Chinese society. With this kind of operation, can China really become a world power? With such political achievements, is the CCP still trying to dominate the world?

Zhong Yuan analyzed that Li Keqiang is getting closer and closer to retirement. He may occasionally tell the truth, but he dare not really tell the whole truth. Chinese farmers and ordinary people still need to wake up more, and if they want to live a good life, they can no longer let the CCP regime freely represent, slaughter, and manipulate it at will.

Senior media person: I once interviewed Mr. Li Hongzhi in the World Trade Center, unforgettable magical photos

Image : Zeng Huiyan, a senior American media person. (Provided by the author)



This year marks the 22nd anniversary of Falun Gong’s visit to China and South China Sea during the “Falun Gong” in 1999. This is the largest mass peaceful petition by the people since the June 4th Incident in 1989, which has caused great concern and anxiety by the Beijing authorities. The then General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Jiang Zemin was very angry about this, demanding an iron-fisted suppression of Falun Gong, and accused Premier Zhu Rongji's handling measures of being too weak.

A senior American media person Zeng Huiyan wrote in The Epoch Times on the 24th that in her 38 years of interviewing career, she was lucky enough to meet all the "magisters" in history. What impressed her was that around June and July 1999, she interviewed Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, at the No. 1 World Trade Twin Tower in Manhattan.

On 5 June 1999, the public security organs of the Communist Party of China began to interrogate more than 100 Falun Gong practitioners who participated in the "4th and 2nd Five-Year" petition in Beijing.

Zeng Huiyan said that as the earliest journalist who paid attention to the Falun Gong phenomenon, she published a special report on the China-South China Sea visit in the "World Weekly" published by the World Daily on Sunday. She keenly discovered that the authorities' suppression of Falun Gong this time was only the beginning of the incident, not the end.

Therefore, she hopes to interview Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, because she learned that as early as the beginning of 1998, he had applied to immigrate to the United States as an "outstanding talent" and lived in New York. Zeng Huiyan contacted Master Li for an interview through Yi Rong, who was then the liaison of Falun Gong in New York, who is currently the “Chairman of the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP”.

During the visit that day, Zeng Huiyan asked Mr. Li Hongzhi about rumors that the Chinese Communist Party would extradite Mr. Li Hongzhi back to China and designated Falun Gong as a "cult". Mr. Li expressed disbelief and said that I am a cultivator and have never been interested in political power. , How could it threaten them? I'm just teaching people to practice and keep them healthy.

Since digital cameras were not yet available at the time, Zeng Huiyan used traditional camera to take a few photos of Mr. Li Hongzhi's interview. After reporting back to the agency, the colleague who was in charge of developing the film in the darkroom helped to print the photos. The amazing thing is that every photo of Mr. Li Hongzhi has a pattern similar to the wheel of Falun.

Zeng Huiyan originally thought that Mr. Li Hongzhi was no different from others, but he was puzzled by the Falun that appeared behind and on his head in the photos of Mr. Li Hongzhi. Zeng Huiyan even discussed with the darkroom staff and wondered whether the flashing lights were reflected in them. Reflection on the wall? However, it was in the afternoon when I visited, and the sun was shining brightly. The World Trade Building was very light, and there was no need to use a flash when shooting. How could it be "reflective"?

Three days later (10 June 1999), Jiang Zemin established the 610 Office with the purpose of "unifying the study of specific steps, methods, and measures for solving the'Falungong' problem." With the opposition of the six other members of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China at that time, Jiang Zemin began to brutally suppress the Falun Gong group of 100 million people who practiced "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" starting from 20 July 1999.

Zeng Huiyan said that afterwards, Mr. Li Hongzhi did not show up in public for a long time, let alone accept any external media interviews. So when Falun Gong practitioners heard that she had met their "master," they were very envious.

Zeng Huiyan said at the end of the article that she appreciates Falun Gong practitioners' pursuit of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance" and practice. Although "Falungong" practitioners have been brutally persecuted and even received live organ harvesting, the CCP's various atrocities are heinous, but "Falun Dafa" has spread from China to the world and blossomed everywhere. She said that when traveling to any country, in local sightseeing spots, I often see Falun Gong practitioners distributing materials to tourists. Even if you do not agree with them, at least you are in awe of their perseverance and indomitable spirit.

Voice of America reported that Niu Tengyu’s mother said after learning of the court’s secret sentence on the 23rd that the case was too unjust. “I didn’t expect that the second instance would not correct the mistake. The 24 children, including my children, were all scapegoats. She believes that Xi Jinping himself proposed to govern the country according to law, but the grass-roots officials have been covering up this mistake and playing with the law, which is a "high-level black" to Xi Jinping with humiliation and other illegal criminal methods.

Locking Hong Kong in disguise? Hong Kong government will revise regulations to restrict entry and exit. Vigilantes worry  "Hong Kong has become a prison"




Six non-governmental organizations, including the Hong Kong Trade Union Union, the Stake and the Civil Human Rights Front, are concerned that the Hong Kong government uses the National Security Law to restrict Hong Kong people from entering and leaving the country.

The Hong Kong Legislative Council will resume the second reading of the "Immigration (Amendment) Bill 2020" on 28 April 2021. Once the draft passes the third reading, it will take effect on 1 August 2021.

The Sound Of Hope interviewed and reported that six non-governmental organizations including the Hong Kong Trade Union Union, the Stake and the Civil Human Rights Front held a joint press conference at 7 pm on Thursday (22nd). Trade Union Secretary Deng Jianhua said: “This draft has a chance to be disguised. In order to make Hong Kong a national lockdown bill, the Secretary for Security in the draft has the power to empower the Director of Immigration to instruct the means of transport to carry a passenger or a certain crew member of the means of transport. In other words, in the ordinance itself the biggest problem is that the Director of Immigration will have the power to prohibit Hong Kong citizens from boarding and leaving or entering Hong Kong, which will seriously affect Hong Kong residents' travel, study abroad and even immigration rights.

Zou Xingtong, vice chairman of the Stake, said: "We really don't want Hong Kong to become a prison, a place where we can't control our own life, future or even travel."

Xi Jinping's visit to Tsinghua University has just left Zhu Rongji's "appearance" blocked

The inauguration ceremony of the new building of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University was held on the 24th. The former prime minister of the Communist Party of China Zhu Rongji "showed up" and gave instructions for the completion of the new building. However, some analysts discovered that Zhu Rongji's "appearance" after Wen Jiabao was blocked. Five days ago, Xi Jinping visited Tsinghua University and proposed that college students should be "red and professional", causing heated discussion.

According to news from the official website of Tsinghua University on 24 April, the opening ceremony of the new building of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management was held that day. As the first dean of the school, former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China, and former Premier of the State Council, Zhu Rongji gave instructions for the completion of the new building.

Zhu Rongji was a student of Tsinghua University, and he was also the first dean of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University until he resigned in 2001.

Tsinghua School Anniversary provoking dance performance

April 25th marks the 110th anniversary of Tsinghua University in Beijing, and Tsinghua has continuously held relevant activities. A video of Tsinghua University’s 110th anniversary celebration performance has been circulated on the Internet. It is a group of women in devilish costumes dancing.

Netizens ridiculed the performances like the tomb head dance in the countryside or the opening of a bath center.

Is this Tsinghua Park or Huaqing Pool? Speechless=_=?? pic.twitter.com/AY4J6USrUv

Former Central Party School professor Cai Xia tweeted: Tsinghua University’s celebration dance is vulgar, “At this point, Tsinghua is ashamed to say that it is a famous school with ivory spires to cultivate talents?! Tsinghua University professors I know must be one of them. Everyone feels blushing and can't afford to lose this person."

According to Wikipedia, Tsinghua University was established in Beijing by the Qing government in the year before the Republic of China (1911) with Boxer indemnities refunded by the United States. In 1975, Xi Jinping was recommended to enter the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University, majoring in basic organic synthesis, and graduated in 1979.

Zhu Rongji expressed his hope that Tsinghua University will cultivate more leaders in China. It seems a bit contradictory with Xi Jinping's proposal that college students should be "red and professional".

Commentator Zheng Zhongyuan said that Tsinghua University graduates will play a key role in the future government and enterprises. Xi Jinping requires college students to be "red and professional", which means that these young people will become slaves loyal to the authoritarian regime.

Zhu Rongji and Wen Jiabao were banned by alternative

"Yan Ming Times Review" found that as of the afternoon of April 27, few media reprinted or reported that Zhu Rongji gave instructions for the completion of the new building of Tsinghua University. Only the Chinese Communist Party's Foreign Propaganda and Duowei.com made a brief report with the title "Tsinghua University 110th Anniversary Celebration: Zhu Rongji's Alternative Form "Appearance"".

Current political commentator Li Yanming analyzed that Zhu Rongji, the former Premier of the State Council, gave instructions for the completion of the new economic management building, and the report on Tsinghua University’s official website was not highlighted in the title, but was only included in the relevant report. The mainland rarely reprinted the report; indicating that Zhu Rongji was to some extent Following in the footsteps of Wen Jiabao, he was also blocked by the CCP's propaganda system.

Previously, Wen Jiabao wrote an article in the less well-known "Macao Herald" recalling his mother who passed away last year, and disclosed many family stories. The content of the article touched sensitive areas such as the Cultural Revolution and high-level CCP politics, and the insinuation of the current situation is obvious. But it was blocked by mainland media and Weibo.

According to Li Yanming's analysis, as a stately prime minister, Wen Jiabao's article about his mother could not be published publicly. This highlights the erratic and erratic situation in the former high-level internal conflicts of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and also reflects the political sensitivity of Wen Jiabao and his articles.

The censorship of Wen Jiabao’s essay on his mother's mother has not yet ended. Zhu Rongji, who was also a former prime minister,’s official instructions on the completion of the new building of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University was also "blocked" by the Chinese Communist Party, highlighting the strange and inexplicable situation of the Chinese Communist Party.

The mainland media's silence on Zhu Rongji's instructions was due to the political chilling effect caused by Wen Jiabao's ban. It was the self-censorship or the direct ban within the CCP's propaganda system. The inside story is currently unknown.

Li Yanming analyzed that the successive bans of Zhu Rongji and Wen Jiabao reflected the bizarre and surging political situation of the Twenty Great Front and the fierce high-level fighting. On the other hand, it also indicated that the CCP’s propaganda system has become the focus of high-level divisions and games, indicating that the CCP’s change process is in progress The last bastion of the CCP regime-the CCP's ideological system.

Chinese netizens were surprised: TV at home automatically scans and monitors all equipment

Various types of surveillance are ubiquitous in China. Recently, a mainland netizen discovered that the TV set in his home was also "monitored". Because there are some cards on the TV at home, he checked the system and found that the TV scans all devices connected to the Internet every 10 minutes, and then packs them and sends them out automatically, making him feel terrified.

This Chinese netizen revealed on the social forum "V2EX" on 23 April that he recently felt that the TV at home was "kicked". He looked at what back-end services were running. Upon investigation, I was surprised to find that there was something called "GoZheng Data Service", and I didn't know what it was.


The netizen said that the TV is an Android system. After researching the packet capture, I found that this thing scans all the connected devices in the home every 10 minutes, and sends back the hostname, mac, ip and even the network delay time. It also detects the surrounding WiFi name and the location of the road interface card are also packaged and transferred to the domain name of gz-data.com.

The netizen said, that is to say, no matter what smart device is in the home, whether the mobile phone is in the home, who comes to his home to connect to the Internet, and even the name of the neighbour's WiFi, they are all collected and uploaded at any time. He questioned : "Sure this is not a spy service?"

After the post was issued, a large number of netizens followed up and heated discussions:

"So that's how privacy is stolen."
"My family dare not connect to this kind of TV."
"Can it be uninstalled? This is the same system in my home."

"Domestic smart TVs can even delete apps by themselves."
"It's really a double first-class combination of rogue manufacturer + rogue software, it's disgusting."
"My Xiaomi router keeps requesting the API.miwifi.com domain name. I request it every 3 seconds and I don’t know what to do, I am afraid of .jpg."

"Not surprisingly...within the scope of understanding...Chinese characteristics."
"Regular user tracking methods are used, and mobile apps are also used to do this, otherwise iOS14 will not add local network permissions."
"It's very simple to deal with this. Isolate the VLAN, then build two thousand devices with random MAC addresses in the isolated VLAN, and change it every day; if the TV has WiFi, either unplug the antenna directly or get a shield. Cover it up, stuff an ESP8266 or something in it and send hundreds of SSIDs randomly and change it every day."
