"Intelligence Community Must Change to Address China's Threats," says U.S. House Intelligence Committee Report.

Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives issued separate reports on the threat from China. The Democratic Party report stated that the U.S. government and intelligence community could no longer compete with China's in decades if there were no significant realignment of resources. A separate study by the Republicans made several recommendations, including a bilateral free trade agreement with Taiwan, to call for strict scrutiny of Chinese investments in U.S. companies.

The Democracy Party report was the conclusion of a two-year review of U.S. intelligence efforts. It stated that the U.S. must be more vigilant against China and must take a tougher stance against its theft of intellectual property and efforts to influence U.S. politics. "Absence of a significant and immediate reprioritization and realignment of resources would not favour the U.S. to compete with China, diplomatically, economically and militarily, on the global stage in the future," said by Representative Adam B. Schiff, the chairman of the committee.

The report alleged that China had used its unfair advantage and theft of intellectual property to dominate the global market, thereby shifting the global economy and investment to China. It had also attempted to take control of the Indo-Pacific region by militarizing the East Sea and the South China Sea with coercion. The report argued that the PLA had become a force capable of conducting complex joint operations through comprehensive restructuring, which enhanced China's confidence in its ability to project power regionally, particularly to Taiwan.

Chinese University Professor Participates in Beijing's #ThousandTalentsProgram by Developing Scientific Expertise for China in the #US

In the United States, Song-Guo Zheng, a 58 year-old rheumatology professor and researcher with strong ties to China, was sentenced to 37 months in prison for making false statements to federal authorities as part of an immunology research fraud scheme. He admitted his plan to use approximately $4.1 million in grants from the U.S. National Institute of Health (#NIH) to develop China’s expertise in the areas of rheumatology and immunology.

Zheng was arrested Friday, May 22, 2020, in Anchorage, Alaska, when he was fleeing to China. He was carrying three large bags, one small suitcase and a briefcase containing two laptops, three cell phones, several USB drives, several silver bars, expired Chinese passports for his family, deeds for property in China and other items.

Zheng was a professor of internal medicine who led a team conducting autoimmune research at The Ohio State University and Pennsylvania State University; however, since 2013, Zheng had been participating in a #ChineseTalentPlan, a program established by the Chinese government to recruit individuals with knowledge or access to foreign technology intellectual property.

Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers for the Justice Department said, “American research funding is provided by the American taxpayer for the benefit of American society — not as an illicit gift to the Chinese government."

#ChinaDaily Caught Promoting China with Stolen Photo of #Switzerland, After Criticizing Western Media's Credibility

China Daily, China's state-owned newspaper, released a satirical cartoon via its Twitter account on May 10, 2021, suggesting that "western media lacks credibility".

The account subsequently shared a promotional video on sightseeing in China, which showed a natural landscape with the hashtag “#ChineGlamour”. However, German and French TV station #ARTE(Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) discovered that the landscape image was taken by a travel blogger, and was in fact recorded in #Brienz, Switzerland. The image is then flipped horizontally, and the blogger's watermark cropped out.

The blogger criticised China Daily’s #plagiarism, and mocked them for promoting China with a stolen picture of Switzerland. China Daily had since deleted the video without apologies.

#China again blocks #WikimediaFoundation’s accreditation to World Intellectual Property Organization

//China today blocked the Wikimedia Foundation’s bid for observer status at the World Intellectual Property Organization (#WIPO) for the second timeafter the Foundation’s initial application in 2020. 

WIPO is the #UnitedNations (#UN) organization that develops international treaties on copyright, patents, trademarks and related issues. China was again the only country to object to the accreditation of the Wikimedia Foundation as an official observer.

The Foundation will reapply for official observer status in 2022, but it will only be admitted by WIPO if China decides to lift its blockade.

WIPO’s work, which shapes international rules that affect the sharing of free knowledge, impacts Wikipedia’s ability to provide hundreds of millions of people with information in their own languages

As in 2020, China’s statement falsely suggested that the Wikimedia Foundation was spreading disinformation via the independent, volunteer-led #WikimediaTaiwan chapter. The United States and the group of industrialized countries at WIPO — which also includes many European Union member states, Australia, Canada, the Holy See, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom — expressed their support for the Foundation’s application. Since WIPO is generally run by consensus, any one country may veto accreditation requests by non-governmental organizations.//

Illegal downloads of #Netflix #Korea's original series "#SquidGame" are circulating in #China with #Mandarin subtitle

//Netflix is not available in China. Technically, people in China shouldn't be able to access the series due to the nation’s #GreatFirewall, but many are watching it anyway through illegal streaming and download websites.

Many Koreans are expressing disdain toward the rampant online piracy of Korean content in China, and the popularity of “Squid Game” has made the issue much more tangible...

“Even though Netflix is not available in China and the Chinese government has been pushing back against Korean content in recent years, there are always websites that distribute Korean shows illegally,” said Park Kyung-suk, a history professor at Yonsei University who specializes in modern Chinese history.

“When I was living in China, I found out some websites even charge money for Korean content that they pirated. Even when a website gets taken down, another one springs up right away.” 


According to the Korea Copyright Protection Agency, China is the top country of illegally distributing Korean cultural content — including television shows, films, webtoons and music — over the past five years. From 2017 until September this year, over 85,000 of the total 411,319 cases of copyright violation regarding Korean content happened in China, followed by the Philippines and Vietnam. Although not surprising considering China’s vast population, many Koreans express disdain that such a large viewership is consuming Korea’s intellectual property illegally. 
  
“The disdain boils down to the fact that although China consumes a large volume of Korean content, the Korean firms that created them receive none of the profit that they rightfully deserve,” said Lee Gyu-tag, an associate professor of cultural studies at George Mason University Korea.//

#US bans ‘advanced tech’ firms from building facilities in #China for a decade

//US technology firms that receive government funding will be banned from building “advanced technology facilities” in China for a decade, the Biden administration has announced, as it outlined plans to increase domestic production of semiconductors.

The requirements come under the US government’s near-$53bn (£46bn) plan to scale up manufacturing of semiconductor chips – the “brain” in every electronic device from cars to household appliances – which are predominantly produced in Asia.

The US Chips and Science Act (#Chips), approved by Congress in August, is part of the American response to a long-running technological dispute between Washington and Beijing, as US firms demand more government support to reduce reliance on components produced in Chinese factories...

The Chips Act commits a total of $280bn to hi-tech manufacturing and research, and is designed to increase the US’s competitiveness with China.

The US crackdown on the sale of technology to China has already begun to have an impact, with the US chip designer Nvidia disclosing last week that it had been told by US officials to stop exporting two top computing chips for artificial intelligence work to China.//
