China Beats Trump AGAIN

Donald Trump has a serious 
phone call with Xi Jinping.

America has caught even more alleged CCP spies.

And is Beijing trying to 
poison American agriculture?

That and more on this week’s China news headlines!

Welcome to China Uncensored.

I’m Matt Gnaizda, filling in for Chris Chappell,

who’s lost in the Matrix again, 
because he got his system hacked.

Too bad he wasn’t using Surfshark.

Whenever I go online, I use Surfshark VPN 
to cover my tracks and protect my identity.

I also use it to...

What’s that, Shelley?

Ok, I’m not legally allowed to say it 
helps me grow this luxurious mustache.

So I won’t say that.

Let’s move on.

According to the Department of Justice,

two Chinese nationals have 
been charged with smuggling

a “potential agroterrorism” fungus into the US.

A dangerous fungus?

Did China watch The Last of Us

and take it as an instruction manual?

The Chinese nationals, 33-year-old 
Yunqing Jian and 34-year-old Zunyong Liu,

have been hit with several 
serious charges, including…

“conspiracy, smuggling goods into the United 
States,

false statements, and visa fraud.”

Jian, a researcher at the University of Michigan,

and her boyfriend, Liu, a researcher 
at Zhejiang University in China,

both study the same fungus, Fusarium Graminearum,

which is exactly what was smuggled into the U.S.

The fungus causes a crop disease called “head 
blight” that damages crops, including wheat,

and releases a mycotoxin that can cause vomiting,

diarrhea, liver damage, reproductive issues,

and other harm to people and 
animals that eat too much of it.

Fingers crossed “other harm” doesn’t include

turning into a mushroom zombie.

The fungus is common in the U.S. already,

which is why the FDA monitors for 
it and most wheat distributors

test for levels of the toxin before allowing 
their product to get onto store shelves.

The whole situation started when Liu 
was stopped by Customs and Border Patrol

at the airport while on his way to visit 
his girlfriend under a tourist visa,

which doesn’t allow him to work in the U.S.

Officials found a wad of tissues in his 
bag hiding a circular piece of filter paper

and a number of tiny baggies 
containing plant matter.

Yes, the old “Wad of tissues” technique,

where the 
perpetrator assumes customs officers will think,

“Ew gross” and just not want to touch it.

According to the DOJ,

Liu said the goal was to continue 
his research on the fungus at

the University of Michigan lab Jian 
worked at, with her letting him in.

Further questioning also revealed that he knew

other people who worked at the 
lab from prior research together.

While Jian was arrested and is scheduled 
to appear in a Detroit-based federal court,

Liu is believed to have returned to China.

So was this a dastardly plot by the Chinese 
Communist Party to destroy American crops

and sicken Americans and create 
a morally grey apocalypse?

Probably not.

According to the DOJ, an investigation 
of Jian’s electronics

showed information describing her membership in 
and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party.

But a lot of Chinese researchers 
are loyal members of the CCP.

All in all, this seems more like stupidity 
run rampant than anything nefarious.

It’s the classic Hanlon’s Razor:

“Never attribute to malice that which 
is adequately explained by stupidity.”

And when it comes to CCP members,

there’s a lot of stupidity.

But, of course, the US media is 
having their way with the story,

With the New York Times wrongly 
calling the researchers “students”...

And implying that this is part of Trump’s 
targeting of Chinese international students,

While the New York Post cites 
Republican Senator Joni Ernst

saying the Trump administration saved 
all of us from a potential bioweapon.

Because when it comes to the American 
media,

there’s also a lot of stupidity.

An alleged Chinese spy allegedly plotted to make 
a Xi Jinping critic ”

go “bang bang and gone!

Couldn’t they have settled for 
making bang bang shrimp instead?

It’s tasty and less murderous.

Except to the shrimp, I guess.

The quote unquote “spy” in question is…

John Miller, who, along with 
a man named Cui Guanghai,

was arrested in April in 
Serbia on the orders of the FBI

after he allegedly attempted 
to hire two undercover agents

to threaten and intimidate a Xi Jinping critic.

That critic is an LA-based artist who 
displayed statues of Xi and his wife

shirtless and tied up on a Times Square billboard.

Yes, this is China Uncensored.

It’s ok, because it’s art.

Miller allegedly discussed in phone calls 
whether or not to have the target kidnapped,

beaten with a baseball bat, shot,

or just kneecapped with an ice pick,

saying in one recorded phone call,

“They want it bang bang and gone

. No talking 
to, no nothing to, like a mugging or something.”

I only saw the written transcript.

I assume that’s how he said it.

But now the only thing going “bang bang”

will be the sound of the cell doors slamming shut.

Miller is a permanent US resident 
but a citizen of the UK, and,

according to investigators,

he and Cui both were accused of spying for 
the CCP and stalking Chinese dissidents.

But Miller appears to have 
had even more up his sleeve

than a plot that sounds like a Shane Black movie.

It’s also alleged that he 
tried to smuggle sensitive

American military equipment to China, including…

Drones,

Air defense radar,

and missiles.

Because why stop at beating up a single dissident,

when you can help the CCP beat 
up a whole island of dissidents?

Speaking of Chinese spies:

The Dutch Defense Minister says

that Chinese 
spying on Dutch industries is intensifying.

In April last year, the Dutch military 
intelligence agency said in its annual report

that the CCP’s spies are targeting 
Amsterdam’s semiconductor, aerospace,

and maritime industries to try to 
strengthen China's armed forces.

During the Biden Administration,

the US, Japan and the Netherlands

all worked together to restrict 
semiconductor exports to China.

That’s something the White House is continuing.

But Chinese spying is continuing along with it!

Especially since the Netherlands is a 
global leader in chip manufacturing.

And the CCP is more interested in stealing 
ideas than coming up with their own.

And after the break, Trump is struggling to reach 
a trade deal with China.

Who would’ve thought?

Welcome back.

President Donald Trump and Chinese leader 
Xi Jinping had a phone call yesterday,

according to Chinese state-run media.

Surely something great will happen now!

The trade talks that started less 
than a month ago are falling apart,

because, as we predicted, the CCP is 
already violating its end of the deal.

The Chinese Communist Party didn’t really ease

restrictions on those rare 
earth exports they promised.

And, for its part, China has slammed 
US efforts to limit Chinese access

to advanced technology—and 
President Trump’s proposed

visa ban on Chinese students with CCP ties.

Meanwhile, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post,

“I like President Xi of China, always have,

and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, 
!!”

AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!

Which made headlines. Because of course it did.

Someone ought to count all the times the 
news media landscape had nothing better to do

than report something Trump said on social media.

Or all the times show hosts 
do bad Trump impressions.

So it turns out that

dozens of American universities maintain

partnerships with Chinese 
military-linked entities.

Considering the story about the 
toxic fungus I mentioned earlier,

this shouldn’t come as a surprise.

I’m gonna use the power of my 
mustache to go full Dad mode and say,

“I’m not mad… just disappointed.”

These institutions range from 
community colleges to the Ivy Leagues,

which President Trump is targeting in 
part because of these ties to the CCP.

In particular, these American universities 
are linked to China’s so-called

Seven Sons of National Defense,

a cohort of Chinese universities

that have 
very deep ties to the People’s Liberation Army.

Some observers have even linked the Seven 
Sons of National Defense to technology theft!

This is my shocked face.

I did an entire in-depth episode on 
this, specifically looking at Harvard,

and all the very disappointing ways Harvard

actively supports the CCP and its military.

I couldn’t put that on YouTube.

But you can watch it when you sign up to our 
Premium website over at ChinaUncensored.tv

It’s not just Harvard, of course.

Any scientific partnership 
between American universities

and the PLA is bad news for our national security.

And anyone who thinks otherwise

might just have some dangerous fungi on the brain.

And did you know that every time you go online,

everything you do could be compromised?

That’s why I use Surfshark on my 
laptop and my phone, all the time.

I never use public wi-fi

--at a cafe, hotel, airport, anywhere—-

without first turning on my Surfshark VPN.

It’s especially important if I’m 
logging into my bank account.

But even if I’m just checking email,

without Surfshark, hackers could 
see everything I’m downloading.

Another reason I love Surfshark 
is that I travel a lot.

And sometimes I need to use a VPN 
to make it look like I’m in the US,

just to access certain accounts.

So it saves a huge potential hassle.

Also, I can use Surfshark to access all the 
good Netflix shows that are geo-blocked.

So stay safe out there, 
have fun, and use Surfshark.

It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

But I don’t think you’ll need it.

Go to Surfshark dot com slash uncensored,

and use the code UNCENSORED 
to get up to 4 months extra.

Once again, I’m Matt Gnaizda. Thank 
you for watching China Uncensored.
