Arkansas’ Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders unveiled a set of measures on Wednesday aimed at preventing China from conducting business in and with the state.
The law was dubbed the “Communist China Defense Legislative Package” by the governor. The governor claimed that the six legislation in the package, some of which have already been introduced and others that are still pending, target “Communist China influence” in the state.
Sanders stated that 80% of the state’s foreign intelligence cases are based on CCP actions, citing the 60 CCP foreign intelligence investigations conducted in the United States in 2024.
Existing laws will be strengthened by the measures, which will prohibit the CCP from lobbying, lower the time limit for selling a prohibited land holding, and prohibit any Arkansas municipality from having a sister city in China.
“The governor said that any college or university with a Confucius Institute would not receive any state funding, stating that China often uses such institutions to establish intelligence operations,” according to NBC affiliate KARK – Little Rock.
On U.S. college campuses, Confucius Institutes provide courses in Chinese language and culture. Researchers and others have expressed worries about undue influence and other issues since the People’s Republic of China government partners with the schools and partially funds the institutes.
I was the first Governor in the country to kick Communist China off our farmland and out of our state.
This is a condensed version of Jan Jekielek's interview with Gordon Chang. The full version was released on Epoch TV on September 28, 2024. Jan Jekielek interviews Gordon Chang, the author of the new book, “Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America,” to understand the Chinese regime’s strategy to destabilize America, from fentanyl warfare to election disinformation to suspicious activity at the border. “We see momentum toward war, and we Americans have got to ask ourselves, what is going to stop this momentum toward war?” Chang says. “The Communist Party People's Daily, China's most authoritative publication in China, in a landmark editorial declared in May 2019 "a people's war against us, and we're Americans, so we don't think we can ignore what our enemies say." But for Communist China, People's War is a phrase that has great resonance going back to the beginning of the People's Republic. Just about a year ago, ‘PLA Daily’ actually defined people's war for us. It said people's war is total war, and we have seen China wage a campaign of unrestricted warfare against the United States.” Gordon Chang: “You have an insecure regime in China. Beijing is worried about the inspirational impact of America's values and form of governance on the Chinese people. I believe the Communist Party does not think it will ever be safe as long as the United States exists.” Chang about Chinese students in America: “We know that Chinese consular officials and Ministry of State Security agents surveil those students and get them to commit espionage, get them to engage in political activities which is inappropriate on our soil, and this is our country. We allow that. Under the communist party's top down system every Chinese national must obey the instructions and demands of the Communist Party, and China's 2017 National Intelligence Law codifies this in one area where Chinese nationals are required to commit espionage if they receive a demand.” “There must be hundreds, if not 1000s, of Ministry of State Security agents running around our country trying to compromise American politicians.” Chang recommends: “We need to sever all of our contacts with the Chinese regime. I know that that is very strong. I’m not saying it's politically acceptable, but I am saying it is necessary, and the reason is we're being overwhelmed. We are being overwhelmed by a Chinese regime. Our law enforcement is being overwhelmed. Our universities are being overwhelmed, our businesses, Hollywood, just, you name it. We don't have a hold on this. And until we are able to manage this, we need to take those contacts and sever them. It's going to be tough. It will be painful, as we talked about, but nonetheless, it's necessary, and that's why I'm so concerned, because we are not willing to do what is necessary to save our society.”

Both China and Canada have recently come out and denounced President Donald Trump’s tariffs, vowing to enact retaliatory measures.
President Trump announced on Saturday that his administration “implemented a 25% Tariff on Imports from Mexico and Canada (10% on Canadian Energy) and a 10% Additional Tariff on China." This was done through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) because of the major threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our Citizens, including fentanyl. We need to protect Americans, and it is my duty as President to ensure the safety of all. I made a promise on my Campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our Borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to Trump’s tariff policy, vowing to enact a 25% tariff on $155 billion worth of American goods, including products like alcohol and fruit.
“Unfortunately, the actions taken today by the White House only split us apart instead of bringing us together. Tonight, I am announcing that Canada will be responding to the U.S. trade action with 25% tariffs against $155 billion dollars worth of American goods,” Trudeau stated.
“Like the American tariffs, our response will also be far reaching and include everyday items such as American beer, wine, and bourbon. Fruits and fruit juices, including orange juice. Along with vegetables, perfume, clothing, and shoes. It will include major consumer products like household appliances, furniture and sports equipment. And materials like lumber and plastics, along with much, much more,” Trudeau added.
🚨 #BREAKING: Justin Trudeau has just announced a retaliatory 25% tariff on American goods
America has SEVERAL states with larger economies than the entire country of Canada
Trump responded on Sunday, stating “We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why not? There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable country. Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada – AND NO TARIFFS!”
Meanwhile, China’s commerce ministry stated that Trump’s tariffs “seriously violates” international trade laws.
Beijing also plans to challenge Trump’s tariffs by taking unspecified “countermeasures,” pushing back on Trump’s assertion that China needs to quell fentanyl production.
“Fentanyl is America’s problem,” China’s foreign ministry stated. “The Chinese side has carried out extensive anti-narcotics cooperation with the United States and achieved remarkable results.”
Additionally, Trump warned Americans to brace for potential short-term economic “pain,” adding that “THIS WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA!”
“WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!). BUT WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID. WE ARE A COUNTRY THAT IS NOW BEING RUN WITH COMMON SENSE – AND THE RESULTS WILL BE SPECTACULAR!!!”
The “Tariff Lobby,” headed by the Globalist, and always wrong, Wall Street Journal, is working hard to justify Countries like Canada, Mexico, China, and too many others to name, continue the decades long RIPOFF OF AMERICA, both with regard to TRADE, CRIME, AND POISONOUS DRUGS…

We are entering a "wildly dangerous" time, Glenn warns. China's economy is collapsing, social unrest is on the rise, and the government appears to be reverting to Mao-era practices. So, will the Chinese Communist Party attack Taiwan to boost its national morale while America is still weak? This could be China's last chance before 4 more years of Trump or even 8-12 more years of America First policies. So, will the world look very different by New Year's Day or, at the latest, January 20th? And how would America respond? Would we destroy Taiwan's superchip factories before China can take them? Glenn and Stu give their thoughts ...

This interview was first released on Epoch TV on Aug 8, 2024. Jeffrey Tucker is the senior economics columnist at The Epoch Times and the founder and president of the Brownstone Institute. “Once we start accurately measuring inflation, and I won’t speculate on the exact number, but we know it’s at least 127 percent over four years.” This episode dives into what’s really going on with the U.S. economy. Are we in a recession? Are prices and unemployment rising or falling? What about domestic manufacturing and imports? And can economic data be trusted? “Debt is the leading export of the U.S. and a leading product that we make. This is not sustainable; it’s just not going to work.” “We need to stop creating more debt. Just stop it. Stop printing money and reduce the budget. We need to prevent Congress from making reckless decisions. It can be fixed. But if we want to save American manufacturing, we need to start there.” “How is it possible that a country known for its expertise in apparel, textiles, toys, shoes, watches, pianos, steel, consumer electronics, machinery, and so much more suddenly doesn’t produce any of those things anymore? We had the knowledge, the resources, the markets, and the supply chains. Is it right that we let all of that go to waste?” “Economies are resilient and robust, and they respond rapidly. When people believe they will be rewarded for their work, when they see the government living within its means, when they feel trust is being rebuilt and the truth is being told, they become motivated. They engage in enterprising activities, invest, and help in the swift rebuilding of the country. I genuinely believe that the rebuilding process could take place relatively quickly. It’s not a hopeless situation.”

Off the coast of Alaska, Russian and Chinese bombers flew together for the first time in international airspace off the coast of Alaska, in a new show of expanding military cooperation that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Thursday raises concerns. These flights were not seen as threats, but this was the first time that Chinese bomber aircraft have flown within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone. This was also the first time Russian and Chinese aircraft have taken off from the same northeast Russian base. Former Senior Defense Intelligence Official Mark Chandler joined LiveNOW from FOX to further discuss.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) intercepted two Russian and two Chinese bombers near Alaska on July 24. A US defence official said it was the first time Russian and Chinese bombers have been intercepted while operating together. The US and Canada, which together comprise NORAD, intercepted the Russian TU-95 Bear and Chinese H-6 bombers. The bombers remained in international airspace in ADIZ* and were “not seen as a threat,” according to a statement from NORAD. However, Russia and China said that the air patrol was not aimed at third parties.

Chinese Navy warships were spotted in waters off Alaska, U.S. Coast Guard officials said in a news release on Wednesday.
Three of the warships were detected close to 124 miles north of the Amchitka Pass in the Aleutian Islands, and a fourth vessel was seen 84 miles north of the state’s Amutka Pass. The ships were last seen on both Saturday and Sunday of last weekend.
According to the Coast Guard, all four ships were in international waters, but were inside the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, which reaches over 200 nautical miles from the U.S. shoreline. In these areas, the United States has exclusive rights for exploring and using marine resources.
The Coast Guard said that both it and the U.S. Northern Command were “fully aware” of the Chinese ships’ progress.
“The Kimball patrolled under Operation Frontier Sentinel, a Coast Guard operation designed to meet presence and presence when strategic competitors operate in and around U.S. waters,” the statement said.
“The Chinese naval presence operated in accordance with international rules and norms,” said Rear Adm. Megan Dean, Seventeenth Coast Guard District commander. “We met presence with presence to ensure there were no disruptions to U.S. interests in the maritime environment around Alaska.”
Meanwhile, the Chinese ships told the Coast Guard their mission was “freedom of navigation operations.” The Kimball monitored the ships until they went south into the North Pacific Ocean.
Additionally, similar incidents have occurred over the past few years. Between September 2021 and September 2022, Coast Guard cutters in the area encountered Chinese surface action groups.
In 2023, the U.S. Navy sent four destroyers to the Alaskan coast after 11 Chinese and Russian warships were spotted patrolling international waters within the Exclusive Economic Zone.
