President Trump recently addressed the nation, claiming that China has been aggressively meddling in US elections. This revelation has sparked a debate on how to better secure American voting procedures and maintain a free and fair press.
Concerns Over Chinese Student Visas
One of the most obvious and immediate actions to take would be to revoke the decision to welcome huge numbers of Chinese students to American universities. These institutions are fertile ground for groundbreaking research and technology, presenting enormous espionage opportunities.
The Department of Homeland Security has announced that it would be tightening restrictions on foreign student visas. However, given the president’s claims, there should be major reductions in Chinese student visas.
China’s Goals and Methods
China’s leader, Xi Jinping, aims to replace the United States as the world’s most powerful and influential nation. To achieve this, China is collecting massive amounts of data on Americans to steer their thoughts and opinions, divide and confuse them, and advance Chinese technology in space, advanced AI, aerospace, and quantum computing.
China expert Matt Pottinger explains that Xi’s goals are to ‘disintegrate the West and usher in an antidemocratic order.’ The US must take reasonable measures to thwart Chinese intelligence collection operations and protect its open society.
