America Will Never Be a Communist Country: Trump​

[VIDEO]

President Donald Trump promises that America will never fall to communism. He made the comments right before Independence Day. Air shipments from Asia tumble. The United States recently canceled its tax exemption for low-value packages from China. In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, Trump's son Eric Trump explains America's economic edge over China. "China is a $24 trillion economy. We're at almost 30. The difference to China is they've got five times the amount of people. So our productivity is not only greater, but it's greater in terms of productivity per person. It's like 5 times in America," he says. A comic book prediction is hurting Japan's tourism industry. Some airlines have even canceled flights because of a sharp drop in passenger numbers. Security experts say Britain is not taking the threat posed by Chinese spies seriously enough. It's not only a risk for the UK, but also for Britain's allies.

US Nat’l Security Crimes: 9 Chinese Nat’ls Arrested, Charged, or Pled Guilty in One Day​

[VIDEO]

One of them, a Chinese hacker caught in Italy, is accused of stealing critical U.S. COVID-19 research during the pandemic. We have the details on the investigation. Steve Yates, senior fellow of national security policy at the Heritage Foundation, said, "It sort of reinforces the idea that this was an operation—the [Chinese Communist Party] was not only poisoning the world, particularly the U.S., but also monitoring how we would react and the health impacts on the target." A Chinese student with a military research background is pleading guilty to visa fraud. He hid key details about his education to get around U.S. visa restrictions. Europe is facing a rise in Chinese covert operations. Ukrainian authorities arrested two Chinese men accused of trying to transfer classified missile system documents to Beijing.
