Beijing is threatening to take Americans in China hostage if the Department of Justice doesn’t drop its prosecution of several Chinese research scientists arrested on U.S. soil this year, according to a report on Saturday. Chinese government officials have repeatedly warned their U.S. counterparts that Americans in China face being detained if its demands are not met, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.(Snip) The scientists were charged with visa fraud for allegedly lying to U.S. immigration authorities about their active duty statuses with China’s People’s Liberation Army.
The nation first began issuing the warnings over the summer,

Fine. Then we deport all Chinese citizens in the US. All of them. No exceptions. Most are spies and thieves looking to steal our technology.

Fine. Just put ‘em on the plane and ship ‘em back. We don’t need to prosecute and incarcerate ‘em. The Chinese godfathers should do the same for U.S. citizens, who don’t commit any offenses.

We can’t do business with terrorists. Shut down all Chinese imports and refuse to trade with any country that doesn’t follow suit.

During the civil war Lincoln deployed black soldiers. The confederates said if black soldiers were caught they would be shot. Lincoln used an order saying if black prisoners were shot that confederate prisoners would be shot. Guess what happened.

I guess we can hunt down and kill all Chinese military vessels operating outside a 20 mile limit of her shoreline. Threats are cheap.

The surveillance and charges against Chinese researchers may be linked to their activities associated with covid testing and illegal shipments of virus samples to China. Recall that Canada is also investigating Chinese virus researchers who were fired in 2018 for sending unauthorized virus samples to China's Wuhan lab and who were working out of Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

Hopefully, China is bluffing and merely setting up negotiations. If not, things like this can quickly get out of control and result in dangerous unintended consequences. Donald Trump is neither feckless Jimmy Carter nor "Don't you dare cross my red line!" Obama.

IMO, anyone who ventures into China at this point is risking everything, for nothing.
China is our enemy, has been since the ChiComs took over after WW2. Unless the ChiComs are removed by the Chinese people, which seems unlikely, China will remain our enemy permanently.

If China makes good on this threat, it will only hurt them economically. Any US based concern manufacturing in China will be looking to pull up stakes and move elsewhere.

Imagine all the Chinese investments in this nation, like Smithfield and other companies. Now imagine Trump nationalizing them and ending Chinese ownership. Kick the students out as well. If Americans cannot move their companies out of China Yesterday, they are bringing this trouble on themselves.
China is not in the position of strength they think they are IMO. So this is why they are going to do the cowardly thing and attack American citizens since they can't seem to get Trump to bend their way. Only thing I worry about really is our Big Pharma being over there. I would like my supplies of my thyroid meds to be stable.

Since these threats came from the Chinese Communist Government common sense should tell Americans in China that the time has come to move themselves and their business interests out of China. The problem is that the Chinese know that a good percentage of those business people are greedy and won’t leave, and that after they are arrested and held hostage by the Chinese Communists that they will fraudulently blame the US Government as they attempt to gain their freedom and get the heck out of China.
If “Pop” Biden is elected, the Communist Chinese will “grease” his palms through his family members, as they have been doing in past years, to align US foreign policy to meet Chinese Communist goals, as has occurred in the past. That will not be good for the America located outside the corrupt “UniParty” and “Deep State” Washington, D.C.

So they admit that they are Chinese research scientists pretending to be American research scientists?

Remember the AH's who went to Cuba during the last administration? Remember Nixon making such a big deal out of China on his watch? Only America-hating people would go to either place. They have become No Man's Land to me. They were both willing to kill my brothers as they flew jets for the USN. They can both go to hell.

Don't go overboard on Chinese people in our country. Many have fled here to get away from such government and love our country. Just get rid of the Chinese operatives.
