US-China conflict: With the growing dominance of the Dragon in the world, the tension between America and China is increasing. At a time when China has bought land next to the US military base and can now use it for spying, America is furious. According to a report by The New York Post, 19 places have been identified in the US from Florida to Hawaii, which are considered strategically important for the US military.
New York quoted a retired US Air Force Brigadier General as saying that China has bought land near these strategically important sites, which is a matter of great concern. These sites can be used to spy on the US military and collect intelligence. Also, the owner of these lands can be influential in local politics.
He said, “We do not have any law that prevents Chinese people from buying property in America, which is worrying.” According to sources, owners of Chinese origin can install tracking technology in these places under the guise of farming. The US Army can use radar and infrared scanning to spy on the bases. Apart from this, the army can also try to fly drones over it for spying.
The Wall Street Journal reported in September 2023 that Chinese intruders have attempted to infiltrate military sites more than 100 times in the past few years. The FBI has also described the matter as a serious threat and director Christopher Ray said in April that hackers have made their way into America's critical infrastructure and are waiting for the right opportunity to attack.
The Department of Homeland Security has also warned of the threat of more than 30,000 spies infiltrating the US southern border. According to new data from the USDA's Farm Service Agency, investors owned 349,442 acres of US farmland as of December 31, 2022. Chinese citizens have also used drones to increase their surveillance. Several such incidents have been seen at a spy center in western Florida, where Chinese “tourists” have been seen taking pictures near military sites.
