Just a couple of decades ago, the Chicoms were little more than an agrarian society with few of the modern infrastructure staples. They went from a nation of mostly poor farmers to one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations on Earth in a couple of decades mostly off the backs of the American people.
They have bought off our corrupt politicians and "elites" in industry, finance, law, tech, academia etc etc, in an ongoing theft of technology & intellectual property. Heck, they have even been heavily investing and buying up Hollywood studios. Last I heard, the theft of intellectual property has been at $600 BILLION a year. This includes all of America's advances in weaponry. This includes guided ICBM technology. Where do you think the most closed off nation in the world, North Korea, is getting their missile technology? It has been one of the most disgusting and sickening sellouts of the American people in history.
These Chinese cultural institutes are on campuses all over America, including MTSU, so that the Chicoms can place agents to monitor, spy, and steal any scientific advances & technological breakthroughs in America's universities and pass along back to their Communist Party masters in China.
I'll end this rant here as this should probably be in another forum.
