North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum’s name is being floated as a potential running mate for 45th President Trump in this year’s election, but Burgum has a history of supporting the Chinese communist colonization of America and of stabbing President Trump in the back at the behest of the corporate media.

Doug Burgum initially supported a communist Chinese company’s plan to build a $700 million corn mill in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Grand Forks, the state’s third-largest city, is just 16 miles from the Grand Forks Air Force Base, where the military formerly stored nuclear weapons.

Burgum called the Chinese effort, which became known as the “Fufeng Project” and included the purchase of American land in North Dakota, a “huge opportunity” for North Dakota and the community of Grand Forks.

“Adding value to our corn and other raw commodities is critical to North Dakota’s long-term economic success, and this value-added project represents a huge opportunity for producers and workers in the Grand Forks area and our entire state,” Gov. Doug Burgum said in 2021, according to a news release published by the City of Grand Forks.

“We’re grateful for the leadership by [Grand Forks] Mayor Bochenski, city and county officials and the Grand Forks Region EDC in moving this important project closer to fruition,” Burgum added.

Despite his early support of the “Fufeng Project,” Burgum flip-flopped on the issue as he ran for the GOP nomination for President, and now, as he jockeys for a possible Trump VP slot, he’s doubling down, and even claiming that he never supported the Fufeng Project, which was officially shut down in 2023 thanks to widespread opposition from concerned North Dakotans and public officials.

In addition to the people of North Dakota, the Fufeng Project was opposed by the United States Air Force and members of Congress from multiple states, who cited national security concerns.

Chinese land purchases in the US, which have raised serious alarms in recent years, are related to the Chinese Communist Party’s Belt and Road Initiative for global economic dominance. Frequently, American lands sought by the communist Chinese are in proximity to military bases and other secure locations, like the Grand Forks Air Force Base, for instance.

Elsewhere, China has begun what resemble full-fledged colonization projects, constructing large-scale Chinese industry and surrounding communities in Africa and South America, among other regions.

As mentioned, Doug Burgum’s name is being floated as a potential vice presidential pick, despite his attempt to challenge Trump for the GOP nomination earlier this year.

At times, Burgum was accused of running in the race in hopes of winning a Trump cabinet position, or even the VP slot, allegations that he has firmly denied.

Since dropping out of the race, Burgum has tried positioning himself as a public Trump supporter, even showing up at Trump’s New York City trial in a showing of support.

But contrary to the pro-Trump updated version of Doug Burgum, not long ago, he was dissing the 45th President at the behest of the corporate media.

In a 2023 interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, Burgum was asked if he’d “ever do business with Donald Trump,” to which he replied, “I don’t think so.”

“I just think that it’s important that you’re judged by the company you keep and I…” Burgum trailed on.

“You just wouldn’t do business with him?” Todd followed up.

“No, I wouldn’t,” Burgum confirmed.

The open border policies of Joe Biden and his henchman Alejandro Mayorkas have benefited China, among other global bad actors, while wreaking havoc on the United States. 

Under the leadership of Mayorkas and Biden, the United States has seen at least 5.6 million migrant encounters, 2.1 million illegals released into our country, 1.5 million known gotaways, and 250 terrorist watch-list encounters— astronomical numbers that we never saw under President Trump or even Obama.

Under the watch of Biden and Mayorkas, DHS and the federal government fired medical workers during a supposed pandemic. They’ve fired truckers in a supply chain crisis. They’ve fired police officers in a violent crime crisis. They’ve terminated Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, stopped border wall construction, and restricted the U.S. CBP’s ability to detain, make arrests, and remove illegal aliens during an invasion and fentanyl crisis.

Last month, during a Homeland Security hearing, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) said that “Chinese Nationals, many of whom are military-aged men” with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, have crossed our Southern border and have been released into the United States.

“We have no idea who these people are, and it’s very likely that China is doing the same thing in the United States using Russia’s template of sending military personnel into Ukraine,” said Green.

From October 2022 through April 2023, nearly 10,000 Chinese migrants were encountered at the border– up 354% from the last fiscal year from October 2021 to September 2022, where less than 2,200 Chinese migrants were encountered.

Chinese nationals that come into our country through our Southern border are granted asylum at a very high rate- 58% to be exact. Compare that to the average of 10% for asylum seekers from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

China no longer needs to operate intelligence operations abroad when they can do it right here at home. They have full access to our country through the 384,000 acres of farmland they have purchased, the police stations they have established on our soil, and through our Southern border.

While the CCP blatantly disregards American laws and privacy, they also disregard American life. China is the world’s number one producer and trafficker of fentanyl – the number one killer of Americans aged 18-45. They are bringing it across our borders and killing our people.

Fentanyl, combined with a laundry list of other designer drugs, is killing more Americans annually than the entire Vietnam War. 

China has undermined U.S. national security, and now they have undermined U.S. intelligence by using the American recreational drug culture to wage war on our country from the inside out. The days of China being a threat abroad are behind us. The threat is already here, at our Southern border, and in our country.

China is a Foreign Fentanyl Trafficker, and it’s time the United States impose sanctions.

In recent years, Communist China’s assertive actions and growing influence on the global stage have raised serious concerns about its hostility towards the United States. As China’s geopolitical influence begins to expand, so do our circumstances.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said, “The greatest long-term threat to our nation’s information and intellectual property, and our economic vitality, is the counterintelligence and economic espionage threat from China.”

He’s right, yet the FBI, the DOJ, the Department of Defense, and even the President of the United States have sat back and allowed China to run the show– behavior that would have never been tolerated under President Trump.

In recent months and years, very alarming and aggressive actions have occurred on China’s behalf. China has sent a spy balloon over our airspace– conveniently over one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the U.S. and was able to gather intelligence from several sensitive American military sites.

Thankfully, the U.S. military could shoot down the balloon after it was done spying.

Despite the United States not having an extradition  agreement with China, they also have established police stations on American soil to “monitor Chinese citizens living in the United States.”

Just last month, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sent a Chinese warship to harass a U.S. Destroyer in the Taiwan Strait, and they have even threatened the use of nuclear weapons against the United States if we do not stay away from Taiwan.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan said that over the last two years, at various points in the Russo-Ukrainian War, when we have witnessed nuclear threats we have known how to address them because we have decades of atomic risk reduction, strategic arms control, and essential signaling experience with the Russians.

We do not have this with China, which is unsettling and destabilizing.

Additionally, China has bought up 384,000 acres of farmland– including land in North Dakota that is just a stone’s throw away from some of our high-capability military bases. They have begun negotiations with Cuba to establish a new joint military training facility on the island – which is roughly just 90 miles from Florida and have rapidly grown their presence in South America. They’ve been colonizing, and continue to occupy, parts of Africa while establishing military bases there.

China has also escalated the U.S. Tech War by banning Micron over “security and privacy concerns”. They have raided U.S. businesses in China and arrested workers, expanded their spy network in Mexico and, over the years, they have tenaciously increased their presence in Central America and the Caribbean through what is part of their Belt and Road Initiative (B.R.I.).

The B.R.I. is a global infrastructure development strategy that seeks to connect China with the rest of the world– but in reality, it’s just a calculated expansion of their influence and an attempt by China to isolate Taiwan.

Cuba is the most recent country to join China’s B.R.I. Jamaica and six other island nations in the Caribbean joined in 2019, and Costa Rica in 2018.

The list goes on and continues to grow exponentially. The CCP has a blatant disregard and disrespect for the United States and continues to mock us by violating American rules and privacy through their belligerent and aggressive behavior.

China’s aggression is the direct consequence of electing a President whose son has done shady business dealings with them. The Hunter Biden laptop story is already criminal enough, but whatever blackmail the Chinese government has on the Biden crime family indicates that it blows the laptop story out of the water.

In efforts to do damage control to prevent something that is most likely illegal and horrifying from surfacing, the Biden Administration has allowed China to do whatever it is they want.

While some members of the Biden Administration have called for talks with China to establish peace and de-escalation, China is past the talking stage. With the amount of power and influence China has obtained in such a short time, we are at their mercy, not the other way around.

Brazilian soccer legend Ronaldinho’s March 6th, 2020 arrest in Asuncion, Paraguay on charges of having a fake passport, and the jail time that resulted from it, shocked sports fans the world over. In a bizarre twist, National File has come to learn that a Cornell-educated Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operative named Dr. Charles Tang was Ronaldinho’s designated sponsor and chaperone on his doomed visit to Paraguay.

National File has learned that Charles Tang, the President of the China-Brazil and China-Paraguay Chambers of Commerce, along with his accomplice, Estanislao Franco, met Ronaldinho at Asuncion, Paraguay’s airport on March 4th, 2020, just two days before the soccer star’s arrest.

According to the verified sources who spoke with National File, Tang described the purpose of Ronaldinho’s visit as being related to a “foundation” which, in reality, functions as a CCP proxy that Tang is closely associated with.

It would appear that Ronaldinho was being used as a mask for Tang’s Paraguayan exploits and that the relationship between the two men extends beyond South America, with Ronaldinho serving as an “ambassador” for a soccer club tied to Tang and based in Communist China.

While Charles Tang is linked to high levels of the Chinese Communist Party, verified sources tell National File that Estanislao Franco is known in Paraguay as a bona fide gangster-turned-politician. He’s previously been prosecuted for murder and is often referred to as the Al Capone of Paraguay.

Among the verified sources used by National File is Luke David Thorburn, also known by the call sign of “British Texan”.

While CCP links to the arrest of a popular and influential Brazilian sports star in Paraguay may sound bizarre on the surface, it is part of a wider pattern of Chinese meddling in South America.

Readers who followed National File’s reporting on Paraguay’s recent national elections may recall that Paraguay is one of the only nations on earth that officially recognizes Taiwan. Taiwanese recognition and CCP inroads into South America were both extremely contentious election issues.

The CCP bans all imports from Paraguay, a major beef and grain exporter.

Through operatives like Charles Tang, the CCP is using checkbook diplomacy in an attempt to whip the small but loyal US ally into line while looking for ways to subvert the Paraguay-Taiwan relationship and push pro-CCP politicians into power.

During the recent elections, the left-wing Authentic Radical Liberal Party had promised to join forces with the CCP had they taken power. The PLRA is backed by Klaus Schwab and George Soros, among other malign globalist actors.

Though the PLRA lost the election, unable to stave off a massive electoral uprising from the Paraguayan people, CCP influence in South America, including in Paraguay, continues to grow, and flex its muscles.

Demonstrating the CCP’s reach, National File is receiving extensive documentation suggesting a cover-up of the Ronaldinho arrest story from two fallen legacy media outlets; Globo, of Brazil, and Britain’s state-owned British Broadcasting Commission (BBC), both of which normally offer extensive reporting on the topics of South America, foreign relations, and soccer.

MORE: As of this report going to press, “British Texan” Luke David Thorburn has been summoned to a sit-down with representatives of former Paraguayan President Horacio Cartes, and President-elect Santiago Pena.

A new report reveals that the Chinese communist government is working with fellow communists in Cuba to build an anti-American spy base on the island, which is positioned roughly just 90 miles off the coast of Florida.

The Chinese communist spy base o be constructed in Cuba is being referred to as an “eavesdropping facility” and the CCP is reportedly prepared to pay Cuba billions of much-needed dollars for hosting the operation.

According to a Wall Street Journal report that revealed the new spy base, the project is “highly classified” though it has been found out by the US. It’s unclear exactly what the Joe Biden administration is going to do about it, if anything.

The news of the spy base comes as China has been making a dramatic push into Latin America for years now, much in the way that the communist Soviet Union did, but arguably, China’s doing it to far more success.

The CCP’s push into Latin America is coinciding with a massive push into Africa, and is part of China’s “global south” strategy – to create an empire of third-world nations in the southern hemisphere to rise up against the American and Western-dominated power structure that still has massive influence over geopolitics.

The news of the spy base also comes in the wake of reports that Chinese nationals suspected to be spies but claiming to be tourists have been trying to infiltrate US military bases in Alaska. Some of the Chinese nationals have been “apprehended” by US military authorities while trying to enter bases like Fairbanks, Alaska’s Fort Wainwright, the New York Post said in a report published earlier this month.

In addition to their attempts to spy directly on military bases and build “eavesdropping” facilities in Cuba, Chinese nationals linked to the Chinese Communist Party have been said to embed themselves in American universities, the corporate world, etc. to gain intel on the US, both classified and unclassified.

Real estate developer and casino mogul Stephen “Steve” Wynn made the six-figure donation to Governor Youngkin on April 19th, 2023, as reported in campaign finance disclosures made available by the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP). According to a VPAP overview of Youngkin’s war chest, the Spirit of Virginia PAC has received more than $10.4 million in donations since 2021, often from out-of-state benefactors.

In 2017, Youngkin donor Steve Wynn was reportedly lobbying President Trump to deport anti-Communist Chinese dissent Miles Guo from the United States so that he could face punishment from the Chinese Communist Party, a request that President Trump denied.

In 2022, he was sued by the US Department of Justice for failing to register as a foreign agent of Communist China under the Foreign Agent Registration Act after refusing to do so and insisting that his pro-China lobbying efforts did not make him a foreign agent or a foreign lobbyist.

“The Department of Justice today filed a civil enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking to compel Stephen A. Wynn, a U.S. businessperson and hotelier who previously served as the CEO of Wynn Resorts, to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) as the agent of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and a senior official of the PRC’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS),” a DOJ statement, dated May 22nd, 2022 reads.

“Wynn was advised to register as an agent by the department but declined to do so,” the statement revealed.

Months later, in October of 2022, Wynn’s case was dismissed by a federal judge, who accepted Wynn’s argument that because he hadn’t worked on behalf of China and its communist government since 2017, the DOJ could not retroactively force him to register as a foreign agent.

The news of Youngkin’s six-figure donation from an alleged Chinese foreign agent isn’t the first time that the Virginia Governor has been linked to the CCP.

As previously reported by National File, in 2019 and 2020, the two years prior to his run for Governor of Virginia, Youngkin joined Chinese Communist Party members, and the World Economic Forum, in Davos, Switzerland, for the WEF’s annual globalist summit.

According to a Chinese-language WEF webpage, at the 2019 Davos meetings, Youngkin, then a co-CEO of the Carlyle Investment Group, sat on a WEF panel alongside high-ranking CCP member Fang Xinghai.

On Chinese government websites, Fang is listed as the Vice Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, a centralized, CCP-dominated governing body.

…

In 2020, Youngkin joined the World Economic Forum again at Davos where he touted the Carlyle Group’s adoption of woke capital ESG ideology under his watch. Short for “Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance,” ESG has been described as a massive “left-wing corporate power grab.”

During his tenure at the Carlyle Group, Youngkin said at Davos, the firm has been “driving ESG initiatives.”

Communist China encircled Taiwan as part of the nation’s latest round of military drills and simulations and now says that the People’s Liberation Army, the military arm of the Chinese Communist Party, is “ready to fight” in an offensive war against the small island that sits just off the coast of mainland China.

Communist China is wrapping up three days of military drills and simulations that took place off the coast of the Chinese mainland and all around the nation of Taiwan, as the PLA practiced “sealing off” the island, just as they’d do in a real-life invasion. In the aftermath of the drills, which included a massive naval fleet and a barrage of Chinese fighter jets swarming over the Taiwanese skies, the CCP and its military say that they are “ready to fight.”

The drills came in the aftermath of a trip to the United States by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, which included a visit with GOP Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. The CCP regime claimed that the trip crossed a red line, prompting the invasion drills.

Prior to President Tsai Ing-wen’s visit to the United States, China had threatened repercussions, up to and including the invasion drills. In addition to simulating the invasion of Taiwan and targeted strikes on the nation’s critical infrastructure, the CCP has sanctioned the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

Taiwan is roughly 100 miles off the coast of mainland China, and the two nations are linked not just by territorial coincidence, but by history, culture, and genetics. Modern-day Taiwan, officially named the Republic of China, was born in 1949 when mainland China’s government was overrun by communist forces and fled to the island, effectively creating two Chinas, hence the “One China Policy” observed by the CCP regime. Under that policy, it is the official position of the CCP government and its supporters that Taiwan is the property of mainland China’s communist government and the policy is now being used as the pretext for a CCP invasion of the island.

“The one-China principle has a clear and unambiguous meaning,” Communist China’s mission to the European Union explains on its webpage. “There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.”

Joe Biden made another devastatingly humiliating gaffe during a speech in Canada, letting loose what some might consider a Freudian slip.

“So today, I applaud China for stepping up. Excuse me, I applaud Canada,” Biden said as the audience laughed, underscoring the fact that Biden has become a walking punchline in world affairs due to his waning cognitive function.

“You can tell when I’m thinking about China,” Biden added.

Saudi Arabian television reportedly ridiculed Biden’s mental decline in a satirical segment as the U.S. regime continues to lose credibility all over the world. It is especially concerning that Biden is leading America into a potentially apocalyptic World War 3 over Ukraine while his mental faculties decline. Parasitical foreign policy operators like Secretary of State Tony Blinken are allowed to dictate belligerent U.S. foreign policy. Biden, who voted for the Iraq War, has been a neoliberal warmonger for a long time. Now, he is failing – mentally and politically — on the world’s biggest stage, and dragging the American people down with him.

Americans aren’t buying into the uni-party fear campaign and foreign policy mishaps that are bungling the nation and the globe towards World War 3, with a mere 22% of Americans calling Russia the “biggest threat” to the United States, even in the midst of an openly anti-Russian media campaign that’s been kicked into high gear since Ukraine’s Soros/Obama-backed revolution in 2014, overthrowing that country’s pro-Russian, elected government.

Though just 22% of Americans say that Russia is the “biggest threat” to the United States, 61% of respondents to a recent poll from Quinnipiac University say the same about Communist China. The Quinnipiac poll echoes recent results observed by Gallup, which also found that anti-Russian sentiment in the United States has remained stagnant since the current phase of the Russo-Ukrainian War kicked off last year, with the number of Americans saying that China is America’s “greatest enemy” on the world stage dwarfing those who say the same about Russia.

“When given a list of six countries to choose from and asked which country poses the biggest threat to the United States, Americans say China,” the Quinnipiac poll reveals, according to a vast 61% majority of those surveyed. Just 22% of respondents said the same about Russia, despite levels of anti-Russian media coverage and government talking points previously unrivaled since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the communist Soviet Union.

The lackluster performance of anti-Russian attitudes in the Quinnipiac poll comes as Americans continue to call for their government to stand up to Communist China and bring America’s own means of production back to the United States. It also comes as an unprecedented awakening among American voters takes place, as they realize just how many of their elected officials are deep in Communist China’s pocketbook.

In part, this national awakening has been egged on by National File’s exclusive investigative reporting on the Humpty Dumpty Institute, a Chinese Communist Party and People’s Liberation Army partner group that’s been funded by Jeffrey Epstein’s brother and boasts a bipartisan “Congressional Advisory Board,” which includes uni-party figures like Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE) and Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).

Even supposedly “America First” legislators, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, have covered for the CCP-aligned influence operation.

In the same run of Quinnipiac polling, President Trump once again defeated Ron DeSantis when registered voters were asked their preference for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominee. According to the results of that survey, President Trump defeats DeSantis by an 18-point margin among self-described Republicans, besting him 49% to 31%.

These results echo others seen over recent months, as establishment-backed challengers line up to take on President Trump, but continually fail to gain the traction they need to do so.

As President Trump continues slapping down GOP Primary challengers in the polls, he’s also widening his lead on Joe Biden when likely voters are polled for the preferences on a hypothetical 2024 match-up.

The amount of United States troops stationed in Taiwan is growing at an alarming rate.

The Biden administration is planning on quadrupling the amount of U.S. military on the island over the next couple of months, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Just 12 months ago only 30 members of the U.S. military were stationed in Taiwan. Now, under the direction of President Joe Biden, 100-200 more troops will be deployed to the island.

The increased number of troops will be expanding a training program located on the island, which is in close proximity to China. The upcoming deployment will be the largest increase in deployment to Taiwan in decades.

Currently, it is reported that at Camp Grayling in Michigan, the Michigan National Guard is training a group of Taiwanese military members, along with other countries’ militaries.

One U.S. official, speaking on Taiwanese military training, reaffirmed the unwavering U.S. support of Taiwan while also suggesting war with China is not near. “One of the difficult things to determine is what really is objectionable to China. We don’t think at the levels that we’re engaged in and are likely to remain engaged in the near future that we are anywhere close to a tipping point for China, but that’s a question that is constantly being evaluated and looked at specifically with every decision involving support to Taiwan.”

The incoming deployment of U.S. troops is reported to be made up of special operations forces and U.S. Marines. The specific objective of the increase in troops has not been disclosed by the Pentagon.
