Biden’s Agriculture Secretary Promotes Massive Communist Program Including Known National Security Threats

The National Pulse reported on May 9 that the U.S.-China Business Council, a lobbying group that “serves the interests of companies in China and the United States,” has been repeatedly addressed by Biden’s Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who has even defended a controversial Chinese-funded project that the U.S. intelligence community has labeled a “national security risk. Biden’s Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has spoken at the agency on several occasions, even defending a controversial Communist Party-funded project that the U.S. intelligence community labeled a “national security risk.

In 2013, during the Obama era, Vilsack led a “dinner honoring the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue” at a National Committee on U.S.-China Trade event. While celebrating the “stronger and deeper” relationship between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party, Vilsack also lobbied in his speech for the Chinese Communist Party’s garden project in Washington, D.C., a $100 million, 12-acre landscaping project funded by the Chinese Communist Party. However, the project was described by the Wall Street Journal as a “national security risk” by the U.S. intelligence community.

According to sources familiar with the intelligence community’s consideration of the garden, the $100 million Chinese garden planned for the U.S. National Arboretum has been deemed a national security risk by the intelligence community because the project includes a nearly 25-meter-tall white tower that could be used for surveillance. The garden is planned on a higher plot of land near downtown Washington, D.C., less than five miles from both the Capitol and the White House.

The National Committee for U.S.-China Trade is “an organization of more than 200 U.S. companies doing business with China” with offices in Washington, D.C., Beijing and Shanghai.”

The US-China Trade National Committee’s studies, which often peddle economic statistics and attack President Trump’s policies to address the damage done to the U.S. by the Chinese Communist Party’s economy, are often cited by the Global Times, Xinhua News Agency, China Daily and other official Chinese Communist Party media.

More importantly, officials at the US-China Trade National Committee, have also criticized the Trump administration for blacklisting Huawei for national security reasons.
