U.S. National Security Advisor:  Chinese Hackers are Tampering with the U.S. Presidential Election Infrastructure
 
U.S. National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien has expressed concerns that China-linked hackers are targeting the infrastructure of the U.S. presidential election in November. 
 
In an interview with CBS, O'Brien said that China would like President Trump to lose his bid for re-election. According to O’Brien, just like Russia and Iran, China is attempting to interfere with U.S. democracy by engaging in cyberattacks, phishing and other activities aimed at hacking government websites and election infrastructure, including the State Department's website.  He stressed that the U.S. will take every step necessary to fight against the attacks and protect the election infrastructure.
 
O'Brien also pointed out that the aforementioned hackers from China, Russia, Iran and other countries pose a considerable threat to the U.S.  He specifically mentioned that the Chinese government does not want Trump to be re-elected because of his tough stance on China.
 
He also warned that any country that attempts to interfere with free and fair elections in the U.S., whether it is in support of Biden or Trump, will face severe consequences.  "We're Americans.  We're not going to [allow] foreign countries [to decide on] who our next president is going to be," said O'Brien.

12 U.S. Universities Received Over a Billion Dollars in Anonymous Donations from China and Russia, Which Could Lead to Technology Transfer Leakage

The U.S. government has been very concerned about Chinese communist infiltration on campuses in recent years. The U.S. Department of Education has just released a survey on 12 famous U.S. universities, saying that many of them did not declare funds from China, Russia and other "hostile countries against the U.S.". The survey also indicated that the corresponding universities received US$1.14 billion in anonymous donations from countries such as China and Russia since 2012, most of which have financial ties to high-risk national security organizations, such as Huawei.

The Department of Education stated that because of the lack of transparency and supervision of the details of the donations, these foreign funds would be subject to conditions that allow foreign governments to gain access to sensitive research technologies, restrict academic freedom, and expand their soft power or publicity. The 12 universities, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT and other famous universities, are under investigation.

In fact, since last year, U.S. politicians have begun to criticize the CCP infiltration of campuses. The U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee released a cross-party report at the beginning of last year, reprimanding the CCP for conducting political propaganda on U.S. campuses through Confucius Institutes. As a result, the Department of Education stepped up its investigation of universities. At the middle of last year, they announced in the middle of last year that 12 universities involved in undeclared foreign funds of US$6.5 billion.

It is worth noting that the report specifically listed two major issues. One of them was "national security". Many universities were accused of receiving donations from Huawei for research, and some even participated in a research commissioned by Alibaba on crowd surveillance.
