Communist China Regime Celebrates Killing of U.S. Intel Sources

Amid U.S. media reports that the Communist Chinese dictatorship killed a dozen American intelligence assets in China over two years, the regime’s propaganda organs responded by variously celebrating the killings and ridiculing the American news accounts. While claiming that some of the reporting by the New York Times was “fabricated,” the regime’s mouthpieces said that if elements of the reports on Beijing’s actions were true, that was a “sweeping victory.” Ironically, the mass-murdering dictatorship ruling mainland China operates the largest and most aggressive espionage apparatus in the world — and it has many known collaborators in the United States who remain free.    

The Communist Chinese celebrations over alleged dead U.S. intelligence assets were a result of recent media reports. In an explosive article released over the weekend, the New York Times said the Chinese regime had “systematically dismantled C.I.A. spying operations in the country starting in 2010.” Over a period of two years, the regime killed or detained well over a dozen sources in a move responsible for “crippling intelligence gathering there for years afterward.” It was described by anonymous U.S. sources to the paper as one of the worst intelligence breaches in decades. As many as 20 CIA sources were reportedly taken out.

It was not clear what resulted in the regime uncovering the identities of the alleged informants, according to the self-styled paper of record. “Some were convinced that a mole within the C.I.A. had betrayed the United States,” the Times reported, citing supposed “former American officials,” presumably from the Obama administration, which invited Communist Chinese troops to train on U.S. soil for the first time in American history. “Others believed that the Chinese had hacked the covert system the C.I.A. used to communicate with its foreign sources. Years later, that debate remains unresolved.” This was all before Communist Chinese hackers gained access to federal personnel records.

The damage to U.S. espionage operations in China was apparently very severe. According to the Times and the alleged sources it cited, between the end of 2010 and the end of 2012, the regime in Beijing killed at least 12 CIA sources. Three officials reportedly told the paper that one of those informants was shot in front of his colleagues in the courtyard of a government building — “a message to others who might have been working for the C.I.A,” the Times said in its May 21 front-page story. Another six to eight were jailed, the paper reported.

Taken together, the Times said Beijing’s actions effectively unraveled a network that had taken years to build. It was reportedly the worst breach in decades, comparable to the U.S. intelligence networks lost in Russia and the USSR due to betrayals by former U.S. officials Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen. It was not clear whether a traitor within the CIA was responsible for the latest episode, the Times said, noting that U.S. officials became suspicious of a former CIA operative who had worked in the division overseeing work in China. That operative apparently still lives in Asia.    

Of course, the Times is hardly a reliable source of information. In international reporting, it has a long history of shilling for communists and concealing communist atrocities — including boosting Fidel Castro and a ham-handed effort to cover up the deliberate Soviet genocide of Ukrainians by starvation. In its domestic reporting, even its own reporters have described it as a “propaganda megaphone” for war and the establishment. Trump often ridicules the Times for publishing “fake news,” too. And despite its supposed scoop on the executed spies, the paper has done a great deal to hide the well-documented global ambitions of the Communist Chinese regime and its allies from the American people.

But whether the Times was accurate or not, and whether or not there was an agenda behind the “officials” speaking to the paper, the ghoulish response from Communist Chinese propaganda organs was nevertheless revealing. While the mass-murdering regime did not issue any formal response, its mouthpieces — particularly state-run newspapers — openly celebrated the reported killings. “If this article is telling the truth, we would like to applaud China’s anti-espionage activities,” the regime’s state-run Global Times wrote in English and Chinese-language editorials. “Not only was the CIA’s spy network dismantled, but Washington had no idea what happened and which part of the spy network had gone wrong.”

The Communist Chinese Global Times, which is published by the Communist Party-controlled People’s Daily, celebrated the killings as a big win for Beijing after the New York Times story was published. “It can be taken as a sweeping victory,” the Chinese propaganda organ declared. “Perhaps it means even if the CIA makes efforts to rebuild its spy network in China, it could face the same result.” However, the communist mouthpiece did dispute one especially grotesque element of the New York Times report. “As for one source being shot in a government courtyard, that is a purely fabricated story, most likely a piece of American-style imagination based on ideology,” the editorial said without elaborating.

Regardless of whether the New York Times story is true, there are several things that are abundantly clear and beyond dispute. One is the fact that the brutal dictatorship in China, which has murdered more human beings than any other government in history, has ambitions of global power. Former Canadian minister for the Asia-Pacific and Member of Parliament David Kilgour, put it bluntly. “There’s little doubt that the Beijing party-state’s long term goal is world domination and to put the United States — as much as it can — out of business, and to become the world’s sole superpower,” Kilgour told The New American for a 2010 article highlighting Chinese espionage in the United States. “The Beijing Party crowd want to run the whole planet.” Indeed, numerous top Chinese officials have made that clear, too.

Also abundantly clear is that Beijing is playing and will continue to play an increasingly large role in what is dubbed the “New World Order” by both communists and globalists, including by the regime in Beijing and its closest allies. The NWO is a reference to a global system of totalitarian rule that is being openly pushed by the Western establishment, mega-bankers, Third World dictators, the United Nations, and more. The Communist Chinese Party has been boasting about it. It has also been preparing legions of globalist and communist bureaucrats to seize the reins, most recently at its newly unveiled “School of Global Governance” in Beijing.   

The next thing that is clear is that the brutal Chinese regime has been aided and abetted in its quest at every step of the way by subversive elements of the U.S. government and the U.S. establishment — all the way back to the betrayal of U.S. ally Chiang Kai Shek to put Chairman Mao in power. Indeed, writing in the New York Times in 1973, globalist bigwig David Rockefeller praised the Chinese “Revolution” for producing “more efficient and dedicated administration,” and for “fostering high morale and community of purpose.” “The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history,” Rockefeller added, ignoring the estimated 60 million to 100 million victims murdered by the regime.

More recently, billionaire George Soros called on the regime in Beijing to “own” the “New World Order” in the same way as the United States owned the old one. Obama even brought Chinese troops to train on U.S. soil in a move that shocked U.S. military officials. And before that, as part of a scandal that became known as ChinaGate, President Bill Clinton played a crucial role in funneling U.S. money and the most advanced military technology to Beijing in exchange for illegal campaign contributions.  

Beijing’s execution of U.S. intelligence officials in China is nothing new. Indeed, this magazine is published by The John Birch Society, a constitutionalist organization named after an American missionary to China turned military intelligence officer during World War II who was eventually murdered by Communist Chinese forces after the war. Today, the mass-murdering dictatorship even seeks to hunt down its enemies overseas, now with a Communist Chinese agent running Interpol. And it is becoming more dangerous by the day. With the largest espionage apparatus in the world spying on dissidents, companies, governments, activists, and others, Communist China has become a serious threat to the world.

Dealing with the growing threat, though, will take more than just recruiting some spies in China for the regime to execute at will. Instead, the U.S. government must quit aiding and abetting Beijing’s rise, quit subsidizing its economy, withdraw from the globalist institutions falling under Communist Chinese control, and maintain a powerful national defense that does not rely on Chinese components or loans to successfully operate. After years of being betrayed from within — including by President Bill Clinton in the treasonous ChinaGate scandal — fixing the damage will not be easy. But liberty and America’s security literally depend on it.
