China’s Silent Invasion of America
The cyber threat is already inside America — and time is running out.
- Infrastructure at Risk
Power plants, water treatment facilities, transportation hubs, and health care systems are all vulnerable. A single coordinated strike could plunge cities into darkness, disrupt supply chains, and endanger lives.
- Economic and Military Under Espionage
Billions in American innovation, defense technology, and intellectual property are being stolen annually — funding China’s rise while hollowing out our competitive edge.
- Data as a Weapon
Massive collections of personal information, including voter data, are being harvested. This intelligence can be weaponized for influence operations, blackmail, or to sow division in our society.
This is not a theoretical threat for tomorrow; it is a clear and present danger today. Foreign cyber theft already drains 600 billion dollars from our economy every year. Former NSA Director Keith Alexander called this astounding loss "the greatest transfer of wealth in history."
- H.R. 2659 the Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act,
- H.R. 7208 the PROTECT the Grid Act,
- S. 1778 — Countering Chinese Espionage Reporting Act.
- And other bills to strengthen our defense against these attacks.
