China has stolen enough data to compile a 'dossier' on every American


Top national security officials for former President Donald Trump are sounding the alarm about China's illicit pursuit of data through cyber theft and other means, with one warning the sensitive information is enough for them to put together a “dossier” on every American adult.

Matthew Pottinger, a former Trump deputy national security adviser, warned during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Wednesday that China was looking to use the data it had stolen from the United States and worldwide to influence and coerce everyone from political leaders to private citizens.



“Assembling dossiers on people has always been a feature of Leninist regimes, but Beijing’s penetration of digital networks worldwide, including using 5G networks … has really taken this to a new level,” Pottinger said. “So the Party now compiles dossiers on millions of foreign citizens around the world, using the material that it gathers to influence, target, intimidate, reward, blackmail, flatter, humiliate, and ultimately divide and conquer.”

Chinese government doesn't value the lives of their own citizens. Imagine what it thinks of us.

 

[ajoep59]

Fuck China. They can add that to my dossier.

Think they know I like General Tso extra crispy w no rice ?

I would think, based on posts in this forum, if China really did have a dossier on each and every American, the first thought in their mind would be "Oh, SHIT!"

Don't have much to add except this: Fuck China

Thanks, and have a nice day

The poor bastards. Probably just looking for some good porn leads.

 

[togmaster]

And....they will probably sell that information back to one of our alphabet agency's.

 

[Saltwater60]

And ours doesn’t?

 

[holdover]

US government out sourced it to China for plausible deniability. Buys back info at later date through other channels skirting the laws that prevent them from doing so themselves. The Chinese have no use for that data other than selling back to the US intell agencies.

US GOV: We didn't spy on US citizens , We obtained the information legally through foreign sources that did. In fact we uncovered many spy rings collecting Data on US citizens.

US Citizen: Well thats a relief, who has all that data now?

US GOV. Errr, well,.... we do.

And....they will probably sell that information back to one of our alphabet agency's.

100%

And Apple is aiding and abetting…. Just a hypothetical - how hard would it be for an alphabet agency to inject compromising photo’s to the icloud accounts of those it deems “white supremecists” or something?

Seeing as how it was quite easy for them to add compromising images/information before, this is just an easier way.

There is an apparent "the .gov is always right" mentality when they come up with "evidence". It is automatically assumed that "evidence" is legit and it is the onus of the defendant to refute it. But you aren't allowed to know what tools they have, you aren't allowed to call into question their access to your information, and they are allowed to demand all of your logins (so could do whatever they want IN YOUR NAME).

Now they also have the company that is running the network, and has always had a backdoor entry into your devices, on their payroll.

Basically, we're fucked.

 

[tirwin1]

So our intelligence agencies are now asking china for updates to their databases.

The dossier they are compiling has already hurt America. They hit the OPM to learn who applied for any federal job including the CIA, FBI etc. Our foreign spy network has been compromised.
In business, they know the competition . Big media. They blackmail or bribe the message and the information Americans receive.

The is no other option: we have to go to war with China. We have to destroy their government.

All I know is, if china ever tried to take over the US, I clearly know what my fate would be based on things I've said about them, I'm certain I would be on one of their lists.

I promise that I'll either be dead or free I won't let china ever determine my status or fate.


China can go to hell.
