Ukraine and Israel just showed the world exactly how to devastate an enemy from within.
Now China’s watching and taking notes while they’ve already got us surrounded.
One frightening discovery has experts warning China could cripple America overnight.
Ukraine and Israel’s shocking success gave China the perfect playbook
Ukraine and Israel just pulled off military operations that nobody saw coming.
Both countries managed to get weapons systems deep behind enemy lines and activate them when the moment was right.
Ukraine hid over 100 remote-controlled aircraft inside Russia under simple wooden sheds, then used them to destroy Putin’s Air Force.
Israel went even further by secretly building an entire drone base right in the middle of Iran, then used it to devastate their military leadership.
Both operations worked by flipping a switch from hundreds of miles away.
China expert Michael Sobolik from the Hudson Institute sees the writing on the wall.
"Mossad did this in secret. The Chinese Communist Party is doing it openly," Sobolik warned.¹
The difference? Israel and Ukraine had to sneak their weapons into enemy territory.
China doesn’t need to sneak anything anywhere because they’re already here.
China’s military assets are hiding in plain sight across America
Chinese companies and individuals own farmland that sits right next to 19 different U.S. military bases.
Defense expert Craig Singleton calls this China’s biggest advantage after watching what Israel just did to Iran.
"Letting firms or individuals with CCP ties buy property next to U.S. bases hands Beijing the hardest part of that playbook—the forward staging area—no smuggling required," Singleton explained.¹
But the farmland is just the beginning of America’s China problem.
China already controls the infrastructure they need to shut us down
Former FBI Director Christopher Wray has been sounding the alarm about China’s long-term strategy.
He warned that China has been laying the groundwork to "physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing."¹
Here’s how bad it already is:
Nearly every major U.S. shipping port depends on automated cranes built by ZPMC, a Chinese state-owned military contractor.
House investigators found unauthorized cellular modems hidden inside these cranes in 2024 – modems that weren’t in any contracts and nobody knew about.
These secret devices could let China remotely shut down American ports and wreck our supply chains whenever they want.
President Biden tried to fix the problem by setting aside $20 billion in February 2024 to replace all the Chinese cranes.
But some ports didn’t get the message.
Just days after Biden signed his executive order, the Port of Virginia told reporters they had already ordered eight more ZPMC cranes – four arriving in December 2024 and four more coming in August 2025.
China can destroy America’s power grid with a click
The port cranes aren’t the only problem.
Energy officials discovered suspicious communication devices buried inside Chinese-made power inverters that connect solar panels to America’s electrical grid.
According to a May 2024 Reuters report, these devices could give China the power to "physically destroy the grid" instantly.¹
Chinese-made DJI drones dominate American airspace even though the company is sanctioned as a "Chinese Military Company."
Intelligence officials worry these drones are secretly collecting surveillance data and sending it straight back to the Chinese Communist Party.
All of this surveillance data would make any future drone attack much more effective.
China’s strategy is working while America sleeps
National security expert Michael Lucci, who runs the watchdog group State Armor, sees exactly what China is doing.
"China is executing on a strategy to have industrial military co-locations within the United States that would give them a significant asymmetric advantage in a conflict, like what the Ukrainians did when they took out those Russian jets on the ground," Lucci said.¹
"It’s such an obvious issue. Our allies are doing this to our enemies. Why are we not getting prepared ourselves?"
The solution isn’t complicated, according to Sobolik.
America needs to ban Chinese technology the same way we banned Huawei in 2022, but on a much bigger scale.
"We’re going to have to rip it out and replace it," Sobolik explained. "This is going to be expensive. That bill is coming, and it’s a freaking big bill. But if we don’t pay it, China is going to be able to mess with us in a crisis, and it’s going to be unbelievably painful."¹
Democrat politicians are making the problem worse
Several Republican bills have been stuck in Congress for years that would stop Chinese land purchases near military bases.
The No American Land for Communist China Act would block Chinese government land purchases near federal property.
The Prohibition of Agricultural Land for the People’s Republic of China Act would stop Chinese entities from buying any agricultural land.
Neither bill has gotten a floor vote.
Some Democrat governors are actively helping China’s infiltration efforts.
Arizona’s Katie Hobbs vetoed legislation that would have stopped the Chinese government from buying land in her state.
Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer has welcomed Chinese military companies with open arms.
A Chinese military company is operating 12 miles from two U.S. bases
The most outrageous example is happening in Michigan right now.
Ford is building an electric vehicle plant with CATL, a Chinese battery company.
The Defense Department officially designated CATL as a "Chinese Military Company" in January.
But Whitmer let them build their facility just 12 miles from Fort Custer and Battle Creek Air National Guard Base, where the U.S. trains drone operators.
Former Ambassador Joseph Cella put the threat in perspective.
"If you consider the drones that are being flown hundreds of miles from Ukraine to Russia and Israel to Iran, 12 miles is nothing."¹
House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green wants Congress to take action immediately.
"For decades, the CCP has been methodically undermining U.S. sovereignty by infiltrating our academic and research institutions, orchestrating state-sponsored cyberattacks on U.S. critical infrastructure, controlling key supply chains for technology and critical minerals, and building surveillance infrastructure just 90 miles off our coastline in Cuba," Green said.¹
The Biden administration allowed nearly 40,000 Chinese nationals to enter America illegally in 2024 alone.
China’s enemies are watching and learning
China analysts are terrified that the successful Ukrainian and Israeli operations have given China a perfect blueprint.
"The mullahs in Iran had no idea. Putin had no idea. But we know, and we have no excuse," Sobolik warned.¹
"Do we have the political will and the self respect to make sure we can survive in a crisis?"
The window for action is closing fast.
China has spent decades positioning military assets throughout America while Democrats rolled out the red carpet.
The time to act is now, before China decides it’s time to flip the switch.
