'Bigger destruction than Corona': US expert issues chilling warning, says China is secretly running... end relations...
New Delhi: An American expert has issued a big warning about China. He says that if all relations with Beijing are not completely ended, then a situation more dangerous than Covid-19 may have to be faced.
Two Chinese citizens are accused of smuggling toxic agricultural fungus into the US. Gordon G. Chang, a leading analyst of the activities of the Chinese Communist Party, said, 'This was an attack on the United States.' China plotting against America?
Speaking to Fox News after the arrest of Yunqing Jian and Junyong Liu, Chang warned that the alleged conspiracy indicates something deeper. He said that China is secretly running a long-running campaign to destabilize America from within. The only way to stop this is to end relations with China.
Jian, 33, and Liu, 34, from China, are accused of smuggling into the US a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, which causes head blight, a disease that devastates crops such as wheat, rice and maize. China accused of spreading agricultural terrorism
According to the US Justice Department, the fungus is identified in scientific literature as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon with the potential to trigger food shortages, economic setbacks and serious health effects, including liver damage and reproductive problems. The two men had previously worked on the fungus in China and allegedly conducted unauthorized research after bringing it to the USA.
Chang said the case is not just about biological smuggling but much more than that. It is part of a broader People's War strategy rooted in Maoist doctrine aimed at weakening and destabilizing enemies politically, economically and psychologically.

'World now knows the truth': Shashi Tharoor-led delegation on Operation Sindoor wraps up US visit
The all-party delegation on Operation Sindoor, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, wrapped up the last leg of its multi-nation tour in the United States after meeting Vice President JD Vance and Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau. The delegation arrived in the US on June 3 for a three-day visit. It held meetings on Capitol Hill and in Washington and briefed American officials and leaders about India's Operation Sindoor and the nation's stance on cross-border terrorism. Before the US, the Tharoor-led delegation visited Panama, Guyana, Colombia, and Brazil. The group includes Sarfaraz Ahmad (JMM), Tejasvi Surya (BJP), Gants Harish Madhur Balayogi (TDP), Shashank Mani Tripathi (BJP), Bhubaneswar Kalita (BJP), Milind Deora (Shiv Sena), and India's former Ambassador to the US, Taranjit Sandhu. In a post on X late on Sunday, Shashi Tharoor wrote in Hindi, "If you are born a hundred times, you will do it a hundred times; I will love my country with all my heart; Whatever we could do, we did it "A Watan"; The whole world now knows the truth." "On behalf of all the member, I express gratitude to the motherland and the lovers of India in the country and abroad who listened with open ears and accepted with open heart that we are lovers of non-violence but only until Hind!" he added. The Tharoor-led group met Vice President Vance, Landau, House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) leadership, India Caucus leadership and Senate Foreign Relations Committee leaders. The meeting with Vance, which was held at the White House for about 25 minutes on Thursday, was described as an excellent meeting" by Shashi Tharoor. He said that Vance was "warm and welcoming and receptive". 'Vance expressed complete understanding, first of all, outrage of what happened in Pahalgam and support and respect for India's restrained response in Operation Sindoor,' Tharoor told news agency PTI after the meeting. Following the delegation's meeting with Landau on Friday, State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement that the Deputy Secretary of State "reaffirmed the United States' strong support of India in the fight against terrorism and the strategic partnership between the two countries". 'We discussed the US-India strategic relationship, including expanding trade and commercial ties to foster growth and prosperity for both countries,' Landau said. The Indian Embassy said in a statement that during the meeting with Landau, the Tharoor-led delegation explained to him India's stance against terrorism, with Operation Sindoor being launched in response to the brutal April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. On its last day of the scheduled meetings, the delegation also paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at this statue outside the Indian Embassy in Washington. Afterwards, Tharoor posted on X, "It is striking how many world capitals are adorned with statues or busts of the Mahatma, the 20th century's greatest apostle of peace, nonviolence, and human freedom." The Indian government launched the initiative of sending seven delegations, with members cutting across party lines, to travel to 32 countries and the EU headquarters in Brussels. The goal of this global outreach program is to put forth India's resolve to tackle terrorism against the backdrop of Operation Sindoor. The Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 and carried out targeted strikes at nine terror infrastructures linked to outfits such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, etc., in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation was launched in response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Baisaran near Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists. During Operation Sindoor, more than 100 terrorists were killed. Following Operation Sindoor, Pakistan attempted to launch a retaliatory military action, with cross-border shelling, unarmed aerial vehicles, and drones across J&K, and border regions. However, most of these attacks were thwarted by the Indian armed forces and the nation's air defence system. After four days of intense cross-border fighting, India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire understanding on May 10.

China Expert Sounds Dire Alarm: ‘Something Worse Than Covid Is Coming – Are We Ready?'
New Delhi: A storm is brewing over Washington. And at the center of it is a fungus, not a virus this time, that has sent alarms ringing across U.S. national security Chinese nationals, who are scientists by profession, now face charges that read more like the script of a bioterror thriller than a court indictment. The couple, 33-year-old Yunqing Jian and 34-year-old Zunyong Liu, are accused of trying to sneak a dangerous fungus into the United States. But this is not mold on bread. This is Fusarium graminearum, a grain-killing pathogen known to destroy wheat, maize and barley. And it is not just about crops. Exposure to this fungus can cause vomiting, liver damage and even reproductive disorders in both animals and humans. The U.S. Department of Justice calls it a potential agroterrorism weapon. Experts say its economic and biological damage potential is no joke. It is already responsible for billions in losses each year. Enter Gordon G. Chang. Known for his hardline takes on China and his bestselling book 'China Is Going to War', Chang did not mince words in his appearance on Fox News. 'This was an attack on the United States at a time when China thought it was at war with us,' Chang said bluntly. He went on to say that this was also not a rogue act. He believes it could be part of a larger strategy from Beijing. In his words, the United States should stop ignoring hostile intent just because it is masked in science or trade. 'In May 2019, the state-run People's Daily published a landmark editorial declaring a people's war on the United States. That is not rhetoric, but a signal. When the Communist Party uses that language, they are preparing for action. That couple? They should be sent to Guantanamo,' Chang said. His most chilling warning came next. 'We are going to get hit really hard. Not just with Covid. Not just with fentanyl. But perhaps with something even worse,' Chang warned. He cited previous suspicious incidents such as unsolicited seed packets being sent from China to American households in 2020. This year, he said, Chinese e-commerce giant Temu was allegedly behind another round of mystery seed deliveries. 'That is not random. That is an effort to introduce invasive species and weaken our agriculture. It is warfare, not with missiles or guns,' he said. Chang even questioned whether Americans truly grasp the scale of what is coming. 'Xi Jinping talks about war all the time. He is mobilising the entire Chinese society for it. And here we are, doing next to nothing. We might be stronger, but we are not defending ourselves with enough determination,' he alleged. He concluded with a proposition, 'The only way to stop this is to sever ties with China. And I know people think that is drastic, but we are being overwhelmed.' This is not the first time Chang has raised red flags over China's activities. But this time, the warning carries more urgency and more stakes.
