Exclusive: Chip Roy introduces key bill protecting American land from CCP influence



Republican Rep. Chip Roy (Texas) introduced legislation Tuesday that would bar members of the Chinese Communist Party from purchasing land in the United States, according to the bill text obtained exclusively by Blaze News.

The Securing America's Land from Foreign Interference Act would direct the president to "take actions as may be necessary" to prevent the purchase of public or private land in the United States by members of the CCP or under the influence of the CCP.

'If the Soviets were doing this 50 years ago, Congress would have already taken action; we need to look at the CCP with the same seriousness.'

China currently controls over 270,000 acres of land in the United States, with foreign investors overall controlling nearly 45 million acres of U.S. farmland, according to the latest data published by the Department of Agriculture.

"The Chinese Communist Party shouldn't be able to buy American land, and they especially shouldn't be able to buy our farmland or land near critical infrastructure like military bases, like we let them do now," Roy told Blaze News.

"If the Soviets were doing this 50 years ago, Congress would have already taken action; we need to look at the CCP with the same seriousness," Roy added.

In Texas alone, a Chinese-based energy company has purchased 130,000 acres of land close to Laughlin Air Force Base. Another Chinese company called Fufeng Group also purchased 300 acres of farmland just 12 miles from the Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota.

"That's why I first introduced the original language of this bill back in 2021," Roy told Blaze News. "Now — with a federal trifecta in the House, Senate and White House — Republicans have no excuse not to force this issue and pass legislation barring the CCP from buying any American soil."

Roy's bill is co-sponsored by Republican Reps. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Brandon Gill of Texas, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Pat Fallon of Texas, Mark Green of Tennessee, Troy Nehls of Texas, Michael Guest of Mississippi, Jake Ellzey of Texas, Pete Stauber of Minnesota, Randy Weber of Texas, and Nathaniel Moran of Texas.

Chinese national who worked as campaign manager for California politician now accused of spying



A Chinese national living in Southern California who managed the campaign of a local city councilperson has now been accused of spying on behalf of the People's Republic of China for "malign" purposes.

On Thursday, federal agents arrested Yaoning "Mike" Sun, 64, of Chino Hills, California, about 35 miles east of Los Angeles. According to a DOJ press release, Sun allegedly acted as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China and also conspired with Chen Jun, aka John Chen, another Chinese national already convicted of federal crimes.

Last month, Chen, 71, was sentenced to serve 20 months behind bars for "acting as unregistered agents of the PRC and bribing an IRS agent," another DOJ press release said.

Prior to Chen's conviction, he and Sun allegedly coordinated to help local candidates deemed friendly to PRC interests get elected into office. The pair allegedly wanted to have "influence" over these candidates, "particularly on the issue of Taiwan," the press release said.

The criminal complaint against Sun did not name the politician whose campaign Sun ran, referring to the candidate only as "Individual 1." Instead, it said that Individual 1 was elected to a Southern California city council in 2022 and that Sun acted as Individual 1's "campaign manager and close personal confidante."

'The People’s Republic of China is seeking to influence foreign and domestic policy in the United States.'

Both before and after Individual 1's election, it appears that Chen acted as ringleader and that Sun was tasked with providing Chen frequent updates about the status of Individual 1's prospects, information that Chen then allegedly passed along to the Chinese Community Party.

"CHEN was in frequent contact with SUN, whom he instructed to submit reports on Individual 1’s election that he could then provide to the 'United Front' and get to the 'Big Boss’s desk,'" the complaint said, explaining that the "United Front" likely refers to the "United Front Work Department ... of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party" while the "Big Boss" is probably a high-ranking CCP official.

Chen also worked directly with Individual 1 on occasion, the criminal complaint indicated. On Election Day 2022, the day Individual 1 won the city council race, Individual 1 allegedly texted Chen the following message: "Old SUN is contacting you. Please call him back. He is with me." Chen allegedly replied: "Got it, congratulations. Going back to the U.S. on the 15th, talk in person."

In addition, Chen once reportedly told Individual 1: "[You are] doing a good job, I hope you can continue the good work, make Chinese people proud."

Individual 1 may be a Chinese national as well. According to the criminal complaint, Sun once gave Chen Individual 1's biographical information in great detail:

[Individual 1] Born in the late 70s. Han ethnicity. Born in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Great grandfather was [Relative 1] (commander during the Wuchang Upraising). [Relative 2] (Commander of Zhongshan gunboat). Father [Relative 3] (former [occupation redacted]). [Individual 1] emigrated to the U.S. from Chengdu in 1995, studied at [redacted]. Later served as a committee member of [redacted]. Established [names of businesses redacted]. In November of 2022, [Individual 1] was elected with the most votes as [redacted] ...

Chen supposedly considered both Sun and Individual 1 to be members of a "basic team dedicated for us." The criminal complaint claimed that Chen wanted to establish a "US-China Friendship Promotion Association" and encouraged pro-China moles to participate in American celebrations like the Rose Parade in L.A. and a July 4th parade in Washington, D.C., to counteract "anti-China" individuals and groups.

A photo included in the criminal complaint against Sun shows Chen shaking hands with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The photo is believed to have been taken in May 2021.

News reports on Sun's arrest have not suggested that Individual 1 has been accused of a crime.

The AP reported that Sun was listed as a campaign treasurer for Eileen Wang, who was elected to the Arcadia City Council in 2022. Wang and Sun are also reportedly both affiliated with U.S. News Center, an apparent news outlet in California.

Wang did not respond to the outlet's request for comment.

Blaze News attempted to reach Sun for comment, but a phone number associated with him had been disconnected. The AP could not identify an attorney who could speak on Sun's behalf.

"The conduct alleged in this complaint is deeply concerning – the defendant is charged with acting on behalf of the People’s Republic of China to influence our political system," United States attorney Martin Estrada said in a statement about Sun's arrest.

"This case is yet another example of a very disturbing trend: the People’s Republic of China is seeking to influence foreign and domestic policy in the United States," Estrada added in a call with reporters. "To do so, government officials in China are seeking to help get elected individuals who they see as being friendly to Chinese foreign policy."

Akil Davis, the assistant director of the FBI field office in L.A., claimed that Sun's "case highlights the breadth of the PRC’s relentless intelligence and malign influence activities targeting the United States."

FBI is afraid informant with info on alleged Biden bribery scandal will be murdered if unmasked, says Rep. Luna



A member of the House Oversight Committee claimed Monday that the FBI fears an informant with insights into an alleged criminal bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden "will be killed" if unmasked.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) tweeted, "Just left meeting for House Oversight. The @FBI is afraid their informant will be killed if unmasked, based on the info he has brought forward about the Biden family."

Luna noted in a subsequent tweet, "According to the @FBI, Biden as VP was involved in a 5 million dollar bribery scheme with a foreign national."

Luna made these claims after House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) glimpsed an unclassified document the FBI has worked hard to keep under wraps, which reportedly contains "valuable, verifiable information" describing an alleged $5 million "criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relation to the exchange of money for policy decisions."

After examining the document in a secure environment, Comer announced, "Today, FBI officials confirmed that the unclassified FBI-generated record has not been disproven and is currently being used in an ongoing investigation," adding that the investigation is likely being undertaken in Biden's home state of Delaware.

Comer continued, stating, "The confidential human source who provided information about then-Vice President Biden being involved in a criminal bribery scheme is a trusted, highly-credible informant who has been used by the FBI for over 10 years and has been paid over six figures. ... These are facts and no amount of spin, and frankly lies, from the White House or congressional Democrats can change this information."

The House Oversight chair later told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the source, whom the FBI allegedly said would be endangered if exposed, is one of the bureau's "most highly credible human sources" — who had been "part of the bureau for 13 years, dating back to the Obama administration," reported the New York Post.

Comer said during his interview with Hannity, "This particular document was dated in 2020. But there are notes in the document that date back to 2017. We believe that this human source initially informed the FBI of the bribery scheme back in 2017."

According to Comer, the claims in the file comport with the Oversight Committee's earlier findings pertaining to subpoenaed bank records showing the "Bidens' foreign entanglements."

In early May, the committee revealed "thousands of pages of financial records" allegedly showing that the Biden family and their associates created a "complicated network of companies" in an attempt to conceal millions of dollars of payments from foreign businesses.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) suggested that the informant who supplied information on the alleged criminal scheme involving Biden may be "a lot more credible than Christopher Steele, the guy who created the dossier that they used to go after President Trump. I bet you this source has a lot more credibility."

The FBI's alleged claim that the informant, who could shed some additional light on this matter, would be at risk if unmasked has been met with suspicion and surprise online.

Bob Hoge of RedState suggested that this "sounds like another attempt at an excuse by Wray as to why they won’t produce the information that Comer demands."

Former Trump advisor Kash Patel appeared to agree, writing on Truth Social, "FBI is running their fictional traps, telling Congress if the source is revealed in the subpoenaed document to Chairman Comer- the source will die. we heard this same pretextual farce from the same FBI Director, Wray, when he told @DevineNunes and I while running Russia Gate- if FBI reveals Steel n co, sources will die, and nations will crumble."

Patel added, "No one died, the only thing that crumbled was the FBI for its corruption coverup."

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) responded to Luna, "Oh my."

Rogan O’Handley, a conservative commentator with Turning Point USA, responded to Luna, tweeting, "The FBI is not only confirming the bribery evidence is real, but that the Biden Crime Family may murder people trying to expose them We live in a 3rd world dictatorship."

For refusing to turn over the unclassified document to lawmakers as legally required, House Republicans will initiate contempt of Congress hearings against FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday.
