Several U.S. lawmakers and officials, including Sen. Joni Ernst and Rep. Young Kim, are raising concerns about the Chinese Communist Party's activities in the United States. They highlight issues such as espionage, farmland acquisition, and retaliatory actions against American businesses. The CCP's influence and infiltration campaigns are seen as threats to military readiness, financial markets, agriculture, and education systems. Recent incidents of Chinese nationals illegally entering U.S. military bases have sparked investigations and calls for stronger protection against such security threats.
