“When I was director of intelligence for the Indo-Pacific Command, for example, I watched as numerous requests to publicize Chinese malign activities were disapproved by Washington,” Rear Admiral Mike Studeman recently warned.
The former head of the Office of Naval Intelligence had served between 2022 and 2023 and during that time one of the suppressed stories about China’s attacks involved “Beijing’s use of high-altitude surveillance balloons over the sovereign airspaces of the US” which came “many months before the shooting down of a Chinese balloon flying over the US.”
After the spy balloon was exposed, Biden administration officials had claimed that there had been multiple spy balloon overflights under Trump and only one under Biden, which went unnoticed at the time, but the US Navy was clearly aware and had been ordered to keep quiet by D.C. about the multiple incursions by Chinese spy balloons under Biden.
When the spy balloon was first detected, the initial response by the Biden administration had been to suppress news about it and then to deny that the administration had been aware of it.
“Before it was spotted publicly, there was the intention to study it and let it pass over and not ever tell anyone about it,” an administration official admitted.
But when a Montana resident’s footage of the spy balloon went viral, the Biden cover-up fell apart. Once it was exposed, the official complained that “It caused so many problems.”
While the Biden administration was publicly criticizing China, the State Department was privately sidelining sanctions and any actions against the People’s Republic of China. A month later, a top State Department official dealing with China was already looking to “move on”
By May, Biden had resumed relations with China and was dismissing the whole thing as a “silly balloon”. In June, he claimed that the spying was “more embarrassing” for Beijing “than it was intentional.” Over a year later an FBI report on the balloon is still being kept secret.
With Secretary of State Blinken trying to wrangle an invitation to China, the Biden administration fully committed to covering up “difficult subjects”.
One of those difficult subjects was China’s spy base in Cuba. After the Wall Street Journal reported that China had agreed to pay Cuba billions to build a spy base, the Biden administration denied it.
And then it had to admit it anyway.
To quote NBC News, “as for why the White House, Pentagon and others all flatly denied the Journal’s reporting despite knowing that China has been spying from Cuba for years, the official said the Journal story was inaccurate because it called the eavesdropping a new development.”
After the initial denials, the Biden administration backpedaled and admitted that China had been spying on America from Cuba since 2019. Much as with the spy balloon story, after a China espionage cover up fell apart the Biden administration tried to pass the blame on to Trump.
Cover-ups of enemy activity had become the default mode for the Biden administration.
While Russia developed a space weapon, the Biden administration covered it up because it was “worried that if the program became more widely known in Congress or in the public, that might scuttle the nascent efforts to get Russia to abort those tests.”
What began with Biden’s abandonment of the China Initiative in 2022 escalated into coverups.
The Justice Department had argued that “the ‘China Initiative’ fueled a narrative of intolerance and bias” and that the “rise in anti-Asian hate crime and hate incidents” made it urgent to shut down the effort to stop PRC spies. The assaults on Asian-Americans in San Francisco and New York City by minority street thugs had nothing to do with catching spies. It was a cover-up.
The cover-ups, in the name of anti-racism or diplomacy, allowed the Communist regime a clear field for spying on the United States while suppressing the story so Biden wouldn’t get blamed.
By the fall of last year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Chinese infiltrators trying to access American military bases “as many as 100 times in recent years”. Chinese nationals pretending to be tourists did everything from trying to force their way into a base in Alaska to scuba diving to spy on a Florida rocket launch site. The increasing brazenness of the Chinese efforts reflected the extent to which the Biden administration was covering up for the spy campaign.
Over the last year, Chinese spies have been accused of looting everything from AI secrets to tech used to detect nuclear missile launches.
And there is every reason to believe that the situation may be worse than we realize.
The Biden administration has developed a consistent track record of suppressing damaging information about Communist China. What we know about the PRC’s operations against us come from leaked material and court cases. Without viral videos, like the one out of Montana, and intelligence reports leaked to the media, we would know even less than we do now.
Governments normally conceal information about enemy activities so as not to tip off foreign spies, but the Biden administration’s consistent pattern has been to hide the information from Americans rather than from Russia and China. Instead of trying to deceive our enemies, the Biden administration instead deceives and lies to Americans.
The Biden administration has misleadingly denied reports for no purpose other than to conceal information about enemy activities from Americans. China knew it was spying on the United States from Cuba. And they certainly knew that we knew it. Russia knew it was building a space weapon and was talking about it with the Biden administration. But Biden didn’t want us to know.
After the spy balloon, the Biden administration told Americans one thing and China another.
Whom did it tell the truth to? China. The Biden administration put on a fake show of outrage for Americans while quietly telling Chinese Communist officials that all of this would soon pass.
When the United States government lies to Americans, but tells the truth to an enemy dictatorship, something is very wrong. China can trust the White House, but we can’t.
SPURWING PLOVER says
More reasons for Bidens Impeachment and trial for Treason screw is age and senility its just being used a as a Excuse by the DNC/UN/M.S. Media/Globalists
Intrepid says
Why is Biden lying to Americans but telling the truth to China?
With all of the garbage that China is doing to us does one really have to ask that question?
November can’t come fast enough. We are lucky to still be here.
Daniel Greenfield says
It’ll take a lot of work to roll all of this back.
Intrepid says
We will have to start somewhere. Biden undid 4 years Trump advances on day 1.
Domenic Pepe says
Biden has been feathering his nest for so long using the US government and taxpayers money that he
cannot even discern what belongs to himself and what belongs to the American people. and what
belongs to China, etc.etc.etc.
Biden and his administration are absolutely internally and fundamentally corrupt and depraved psychopaths.
Make no mistake about that.
Steve Chavez says
CHINA BLACKMAILING THE USA due to Biden. Xi could take him down at any time with just one leak, but they won’t since they’re milking it for all they can…. Before Trump.
They could, however, cause massive national turmoil by timing a Major Leak right before the election, like the feared October Surprise, causing the Democrats, and their Mob, to panic with Non stoppable violence causing Martial Law seeking to prevent a Trump Presidency.
The DOJ, FBI, CIA, and MSM will say The Leak is a hoax like “the Russian collusion was.” Oops. Biden: “Come on Man!”
IRAN has been using OIL BLACKMAIL against the world since 1979. No one dare attack them or that will cause a Domino Effect across most of OPEC, that we fund by buying from people that will stab in the back, with even Saudi Arabia saying not to attack Iran… including from Israel. THEREFORE, the world is on fire for not taking action against them with Obama and Biden negotiating with the Mullahs, and their dream of building, buying, and even given, NUKES which they will immediately use against The Great Satan and with U.S. leaders joining in “wiping Israel off the map.”
The Populace of Iran is ready for the end of the Mullahs. Popular movements rise up then are forgotten instead of support from the USA.
IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT COMMUNISTS, MULLAHS, AND DEMOCRATS!

No! Covering up the spy balloons! “Mommy, Mommy, I’m so scared of the spy balloon!” Don’t worry, honey. Mr. Greenfield is here to protect us.”

How bitter are you feeling today?

It is not just today. It has been everyday since puberty in Jr. High school. The mirror never lies to girls and being picked last or ignored for sports always results in wanting to get even. It never goes away. Ouch!

Totally. This is how the world ends: spy balloons and electric cars. Thank God Daniel’s here!

China donates more to the global communist regime than America through the world communist organisation the latest addition to the United Nations.
David Elstrom says
Why do we think China is Prez Send Money Now’s best customer? What do we think China has been paying for?
Ed Snider says
WHO are Biden’s brain? Until this question is answered, the larger questions about his uncanny ability to be on the wrong side of every issue will remain a mystery. Jill Biden and Susan Rice and Ron Klain and the odious Obama are the obvious suspects, but who else are the blocking tackles leading America down the crapper?
Daniel Greenfield says
it’s the entire infrastructure of patronage that comes along with the Obama people
same folks out of the same institutions, Brookings, WestExec, CNR, etc…
SCOTT DEE says
Biden himself and the rest of his Administration are deep into Chinese pockets $$$$$$. Greed and being sellouts are a permanent part of politics.
glpage says
Simply put, Biden has committed treason along with many people in his administration.
dan yariv-weisbuch says
The Biden administration is neither stupid nor naive.. they are anti-Americans starting with Hussein Obana, in this almost year they can destroy everything American. they permit the growth of China might, Iran’s progress to nuclear statu and the formation of the new axe china-russia – Iran which is ascending to hegemony.
with all the clear sign they don’t understand that China wants to gulp Taiwan. guess what is the pearl in the shell? TSMC who manufactures chips for all hitech including the CPU for the American military. no tsmc . no F 15, 16, 35,…./ ou want to tell that nobody thought to move the plant in USA? and Is not the only one important plant.
the west under the very idiotic and influential greeens , abandoned the gas engines. and passed to EV without thinking about the availability of lithium or the economics of passing to a new technology. just blinded by their own speeches based on…smoke. they could at least see the decision of toyota [instead of behaving like rats of hamelin following Pied Piper. who lost the money and dismantled its industry? what wants he Americans to buy? obvious Chinese cars which are cheaper than those made in US. QED So Biden put bridles on the so-called thinking heads
Walter Sieruk says
President pretender Biden is a catastrophe and calamity for America and a treasonous disaster and traitorous tragedy for the American people and a treacherous curse upon the Taiwan and her citizens
In contrast, Bogus President Biden is a demonic blessing to that aggressive, hostile tyrannical Communist regime of mainland Red China.
Joe Biden is so very corrupt and despicable that to give only one example out of many is that Biden eliminated many American tariffs on items made in Red China.
Obviously related to this is that Biden has a history of accepting “gift’s” bribes, from Communists China.
.
Therefore Biden will be totally useless to aid or help Taiwan if she is attacks by Red China
For it has been written, “The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.”
The Bible, Proverbs 17:23. [N.I.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden’s different meetings with the Communist President of Red China, Xi Jinping, will always results in agreed to policies that will be very favorable to China and let him get away with his horrendous cruel oppression of the people of China as well as accepting Jinping international policies designed the lowering of the United States as a world power.
For Xi Jinping knows that Biden is very weak and feeble-minded and he even likes Socialism and will be very easily manipulated to be the useful idiot ,stooge , tool and” lap dog” of XI Jinping will able to use Biden to have do anything to wants him to do. In other words, Biden is his stooge and tool because he malleable, for old Joe very cognitively challenged since is an empty-headed mindless idiot.
For example, Joe Biden in a speech he declared Bogus “President” “Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being sued, come on.”
La Jolla says
Beholden Biden is a useful idiot to the CCP, his primary boss
Traitor Joe is an enemy agent involved with corruption and treason
Geriatric Joe can claim mental incapacitation now, but his treacherous deception spans decades
Kasandra says
There are two reasons the Biden administration conceals this information about China. First, exposing it would be embarrassing for China and they might just respond by revealing some of the embarrassing material in their Biden blackmail file. Second, if the American people knew about it they may expect Biden to actually do something. And aside from throwing taxpayer money at problems, Biden is disposed to doing nothing but running his mouth.
Helmuth Klaucek says
Very informative article. We, in Austria/Europe never get informed about what’s really going on in the US. We only receive informations according to what is in line with the Mainstream journals.
Thank you Daniel
Wayne says
Bidens primary motivation is to keep secret the illegal business dealings he has had with China through Hunter and others. Biden is corrupted and easily leveraged by China. he knows that China could ruin his party if they told all that they know about Biden and his Marxist Socialist Democrat party. They have deep financial involvement and have performed treasonous acts against the USA to appease China and keep them quiet. Even if China were to tell all about Biden and other Marxist Socialist Democrat leadership we would never hear it from his kowtowing media. It is the most unspoken truth that we all know.
