China has been probing America’s defenses in ways most citizens never imagined.
The threat has now escalated to a level that demands immediate attention.
And a general issued one dire warning about China that should terrify every American.
General Jack Keane delivers stark assessment of China’s infiltration efforts
Retired General Jack Keane appeared on Fox Business with a message every American needs to hear.
The Fox News senior strategic analyst didn’t sugar-coat the reality of what Communist China is doing to our country right now.
"China is conducting the most comprehensive penetration of our society since we were formed 250 years ago, 249 years now, and we’ve never seen anything quite like this," General Keane warned during his appearance on "Mornings with Maria."
His comments came after news broke that a third Chinese national had been caught attempting to smuggle dangerous biological materials into America.
These weren’t random acts by rogue individuals.
General Keane made it clear that the U.S. is "target one" for the Chinese Communist Party’s systematic campaign against our nation.
The general explained that China’s strategy goes far beyond traditional espionage.
They’re targeting multiple sectors of American society simultaneously in what amounts to warfare by other means.
Three Chinese nationals caught in biological smuggling operations
Federal authorities recently arrested two Chinese researchers who were allegedly working together to bring a dangerous crop-killing fungus into the United States.
Yunqing Jian, who worked at the University of Michigan, and her boyfriend Zunyong Liu, a researcher from China, were charged with smuggling Fusarium graminearum through Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
This particular fungus attacks wheat, barley, corn, and rice crops while producing toxins harmful to both humans and livestock.
But the concerning pattern didn’t stop there.
Authorities also arrested Chengxuan Han, a PhD student from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.
Han allegedly sent four separate packages containing concealed biological materials to individuals at a University of Michigan laboratory during 2024 and 2025.
When customs officials questioned Han at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, they discovered she had deleted the contents of her electronic devices just three days before arriving in America.
China’s multi-front assault on American society
General Keane outlined the full scope of China’s penetration campaign during his Fox News appearance.
The biological smuggling represents just one element of a comprehensive strategy targeting America’s critical infrastructure and institutions.
"And in the event of this conflict with China in the Pacific, they would attempt to defeat the American people at home and break their will to support the war, and here we have a biological pathogen smuggling into the country that could attack our agriculture and ultimately our food source, and I think this is more exploration than anything else to detect and see how they can penetrate and how comprehensive this could be for the future," General Keane explained.
China is simultaneously conducting cyber espionage operations, interfering with telecommunications networks, targeting pharmaceutical supply chains, and attempting to sabotage transportation systems.
The general noted that "the list goes on" when describing the breadth of Chinese infiltration efforts.
Each of these operations serves the same ultimate goal – mapping America’s vulnerabilities and preparing for potential future attacks.
America faces an unprecedented national security threat
What makes this situation so dangerous is the coordinated nature of China’s campaign.
These aren’t isolated incidents but part of a systematic effort to penetrate every aspect of American society.
General Keane believes the recent biological smuggling cases represent reconnaissance missions designed to test our defenses and identify weaknesses.
China wants to know exactly how they can attack America’s food supply, infrastructure, and economic systems when the time comes.
The general’s assessment should serve as a wake-up call for every American who cares about national security.
While politicians debate partisan issues, Communist China is actively preparing to wage war against the American people through our most vital systems.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the arrest of Yunqing Jian and noted that "evidence indicates" she "expressed loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party and had received funding from the Chinese government for similar work on this pathogen in China."
This reveals the direct connection between these smuggling operations and the Chinese government itself.
Time for America to wake up and defend itself
General Keane’s warning couldn’t be more urgent.
China represents the most comprehensive threat to American security in our nation’s 250-year history.
The biological smuggling cases prove that China is already taking action against America rather than just making threats.
The Chinese Communist Party is systematically working to undermine America from within while testing our defenses for future attacks.
General Keane made it clear that strengthening our defenses against this threat should be "high on the list of priorities" for American leaders.
The question now is whether our government will take decisive action to protect the homeland before China’s reconnaissance missions turn into actual attacks.
Every American should understand that we’re already under assault – we just haven’t fully realized it yet.
