Two secret Chinese biological‑weapons labs are alleged to exist on U.S. soil, and the very existence of a third facility in Reedley, California, was confirmed by a recent FBI raid. The implications are chilling, especially when coupled with a rapid AI arms race and a precarious Taiwan situation.

Undetected Biological Threats on American Soil

Gordon Chang warned that the United States knows of at least two Chinese‑installed bio‑labs, with a third “almost certainly” operating as a full‑scale laboratory rather than a mere storage depot. In Las Vegas, investigators uncovered more than a thousand vials of a reddish substance that made a housekeeper and another resident “deathly ill.” Chang argued that the material could not have been produced locally in Las Vegas, suggesting a hidden production site elsewhere.

The FBI’s response after the January 31 raid on Reedley was, according to Chang, dismissive: the agency told the public there was “nothing here for the American people to worry about.” Chang contended the bureau should have warned that additional facilities likely exist and urged citizens to report suspicious activity. The lack of transparency, he said, reflects a federal government “not curious” about a potential biological weapons attack.

China’s AI Ambitions and the Trump Administration’s Edge

When the conversation shifted to artificial intelligence, Chang asserted that the United States remains ahead of China, though the gap is narrowing. He cited the July release of Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 model, noting that the Chinese were “three or four months behind” because they were essentially distilling U.S. models.

President Trump’s stance, according to Chang, is to limit dialogue with China on AI development, fearing that any concession would allow Beijing to catch up. The discussion referenced a proposed bilateral agreement in which each side would notify the other of AI model problems—a notion Chang dismissed as “fantasy” given China’s track record of secrecy.

The Taiwan Question: A Misread Military Threat?

Chang challenged the prevailing narrative that China is poised for a full‑scale invasion of Taiwan. He argued that such an operation would require a coordinated air‑land‑sea assault—a capability the People’s Liberation Army has never demonstrated. The current Chinese military leadership, he noted, lacks operational officers at the top, with only two of seven members of the Central Military Commission being career military figures.

Nevertheless, Chang warned that conflict could arise elsewhere, such as the Panama Canal or even on American soil, where U.S. defenses are ill‑prepared for sustained drone attacks. He emphasized that the United States must anticipate a domestic battlefield against a foreign adversary for the first time since the War of 1812.

Chinese Operatives in the United States

The discussion also turned to the presence of Chinese military‑age individuals on U.S. soil. While exact numbers remain unclear, Chang cited Brian Kennedy, chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger of China, who mentioned a figure of 200,000 Chinese personnel operating within the United States. He described a surge of single, military‑age males linked to the Chinese military, noting increased incursions and attempted incursions into U.S. bases, as well as drone overflights of critical infrastructure.

Chang criticized the FBI for its lack of curiosity and called for decisive action against foreign agents, describing the Chinese consular staff who organized demonstrations at recent summits as “Chinese thugs” in identical gray masks and sunglasses. He argued that such individuals should be detained as foreign agents on American soil.

Summit Diplomacy: A Missed Opportunity?

Reflecting on a recent summit with Chinese leaders, Chang and Gaffney agreed that the event yielded little substantive dialogue—less than an hour of meaningful conversation after translation time was removed. They contended that the summit served more to bolster President Trump’s domestic standing than to achieve any strategic gains.

Gaffney highlighted President Trump’s post‑summit video asserting that “America will never be communist,” arguing that the images of Chinese officials at the summit undercut that message. Both hosts warned that the United States faces a “communist wave” domestically, amplified by Chinese influence and the presence of socialist groups within the country.

In closing, the conversation underscored a central theme: the Trump administration must adopt a proactive, transparent approach to counter Chinese covert operations—whether biological, technological, or military—before they translate into direct threats to American security.
