Exclusive: Americans, your calls and texts can be monitored by Chinese spies



By me @washingtonpostwashingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
Chinese hackers linked to Beijing’s Ministry of State Security have burrowed inside the private wiretapping and surveillance system that American telecom companies built for the exclusive use of U.S. federal law enforcement agencies - they continue to have access to the system. Millions of mobile-phone users on the networks of at least three major U.S. carriers could thus be ongoingly vulnerable to Chinese government surveillance.

Several officials told me that targets identified by the intelligence community also include senior U.S. government officials and top business leaders.

“It is much more serious and much worse than even what you all presume at this point,” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman @SenatorWarner (D-Virginia) said. “It is one of the most serious breaches in my time on the Intelligence Committee.”

"Tower 22", the U.S. base in NE Jordan where three American troops were just killed, overlooks a Syrian refugee camp called Rukban, where 15,000 people have been living for years. It is also near the Al-Tanf Garrison, where a couple hundred U.S. troops are based.
This is a crucial node between Iraq and Syria that Iranian militias have long sought to control. There have been several drone attacks on Tanf since Oct. 7. This is a brazen escalation.
The group that will claim responsibility calls themselves the "Islamic Resistance of Iraq," but that's really a post Oct 7 umbrella group of IRGC sponsored militias. The actual attackers were likely Kateeb Hizballah with support of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujab and Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq

"Beijing’s latest, horrible abuse of the Tibetan people is to forcibly collect their DNA, their last remaining vestige of privacy. What’s worse, U.S. companies are still working with the authorities perpetrating these atrocities..."

Former @CDCgov and virologist Director Robert Redfield: “I still believe today that the data indicates that the outbreak of Covid 19 was more likely the result of a lab leak than as a result of a natural spillover event.” @GOPoversight @OversightDems
Redfield: “It is my opinion that we should impose a moratorium on gain of function research…” until we are able to have a national debate over its usefulness and the safety risks involved.
Redfield on whether to continue gain of function research: “I don’t think this is a decision that should be left for scientists to make alone. I think we should have a broader societal debate” including how to do it safely. But overall, he says, it’s not worth the risk.
