Jan Jekielek Tells Us About the Epoch Times
"You're being kind to your host Jan, but I am glad you are acquiescing to my perfect British pronunciation of the word epoch when it comes to epoch times. I don't know why some of your colleagues say epic. Tell us about epoch times because I think it's been around for a long time, but it has exploded. I would say, maybe, you know, along with president Trump getting serious on China. Last 5 or 6 years has been a flourishing for your organization. Tell us a little bit about it. Well, absolutely. And so the reason I started working with epoch times back in the day, as I was mentioning earlier, no one, no media wanted to touch negative stories about China or the Chinese communist party. Big paid inserts from the Chinese government. That's what they're going to FT and the Washington they would take money to have those big insert payment ads, in fact. And there was a lot of that. And then there was a lot of not reporting on some of the really, really harsh realities that it wouldn't be to wasn't hard to find. Meanwhile, epoch times, epoch times was founded in the year 2000 to expose the Chinese Communist Party. And what it was doing. Yes, falun gong practitioners were among the founders. And it was exactly in this context. There wasn't really information that was credible. They started in Chinese language in Atlanta. These are Chinese Americans that started this. The John Tong, our founder, he had been in the student movement in 89, right? Tiananmen Square massacre. It was associated with that. And but in 99, he thought, hey, I can actually I'm going to free country. I can actually start a website and tell the truth, not just in America, but to China itself. And this little website exploded, of course, because people gravitate very naturally. I think people inherently want to know the truth. Some people, sometimes you don't want to know the truth, but a lot of the time you do want to know the truth, right? And especially when it's hidden from you. So it started there 2003, the English edition began 2005, my wife and I, we started working with them in capacity. We were so I had worked on the UN side of I had worked on the NGO side of the UN trying to help folks, right? And I came up with regards to China. With regards with regards to China exactly. And so I was in the human rights field, right? And we ended up deciding to do direct work, basically supporting Chinese refugees. Some of which, the incredible stories, they had walked out of China through Vietnam through the golden triangle to Thailand through this amazing underground railroad that had been formed. We started working with that. And they had an incredible story. And we wanted to tell their stories

TikTok CEO faces off with Congress over security fears
"TikTok CEO appears on Capitol Hill today to face a grilling by U.S. lawmakers. Some politicians have started talking about banning TikTok. The CEO of TikTok reached out directly to users ahead of his appearance before the U.S. House committee on energy and commerce today. Amid escalating U.S. China tensions shows the Chu will be making a case for why the popular video sharing app isn't a national security risk, at a White House briefing yesterday, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby wouldn't confirm reports that the Biden administration is asking the Chinese company ByteDance to sell the app, amid concerns that user data could end up in the hands of the Chinese government. We've made very clear our national security concerns about that particular application. That's why it's been banned on government devices. TikTok has been trying to sell officials on a $1.5 billion plan called project Texas, which routes all U.S. user data to domestic servers owned and maintained by software giant Oracle. Texas business owner gohar Khan is one of the influencers lobbying against a ban. Was brand deals would go away and so was 60% of my consulting business. Jennifer King, Washington

Why TikTok's security risks keep raising fears
"There's a push in Congress for legislation that could make it easier for The White House to ban the use of TikTok. At the same time, a Treasury Department group is studying the potential security threat posed by the Chinese owned app. More than 100 million Americans use the app for entertainment and information sharing, but it's come under fire from The White House, and many members of Congress, who say the Chinese government could use the app to gain access to user data or spread misinformation. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said he was unable to confirm or deny a report that The White House sent off a letter to ByteDance, saying it either sells off TikTok or the app faces a ban. We have legitimate national security concerns with respect to data integrity. The Treasury Department's committee on foreign investments in the U.S. is also investigating the structural relationship between TikTok and its Chinese parent company. I'm Jackie Quinn

UK bans TikTok on government phones on security grounds
"British authorities say they're banning the Chinese owned video sharing app TikTok from government to mobile phones on security grounds. Following similar moves by the U.S. and the EU. Cabinet office minister Oliver Daven has told parliament the ban will apply to work phones and other devices used by government ministers and civil servants. It does not apply to personal phones and devices. The moves were prompted by growing concerns that TikTok's parent company ByteDance would give user data such as browsing history and location to the Chinese government or push propaganda and misinformation on its behalf. The U.S. government, mandated last month that employees of federal agencies have to delete TikTok from all government issued mobile devices, while Belgium and some other EU countries have also temporarily banned the app from employee phones.

"chinese government" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Companies and that kind of that section of the economy. So you're going to have these three regulatory bodies looking at different parts of that. And the stated goal of this is to reduce the possibilities of regulatory arbitrage and to fill in some of the holes where financial risks have fallen through the cracks with there's been a number of bank failures in the past couple of years. And this looks like an attempt to sort of fix some of those problems that China have been facing with the different the various different financial regulators that it had. Okay, what about the changes specifically to data regulation though? Is that really about China? And what does it mean for China's tech sector and does this have any U.S. element to it? I mean, obviously, data privacy and data protection are huge issues around the world. Has their data privacy protections that came in a few years ago that caused big changes in how global companies deal with data that's generated out of the youth, the U.S. is obviously trying to manage the different data that people have companies like Facebook or wherever it is. And China is also trying to manage a control the data that's generated from within China, whether that's from right here in our data or whether it's from banking data or whatever it is. The Chinese government doesn't want that data leaking overseas. That was one of the reasons why the 80 listing on the New York Stock Exchange failed was because the Chinese government certainly realized that when I take a taxi and Beijing is that data going to be available if a U.S. company or the U.S. government decides they want to subpoena that data from a company that's officially listed in the U.S.. So this kind of data protection is becoming a bigger and bigger issue around the world. This new regular or this new regulator that the Chinese is setting up is to control that and I guess to stop that data from leaking overseas and to make sure that whatever is being generated here, if it does this set of seats by a multinational by Chinese companies, it doesn't affect national security and it doesn't damage China's national security in some way. And I guess also there is a real interest in better managing that data and sort of commercializing it. So that may be part of their remit to is how to take these massive stores of big data that are being generated every day by online shopping. And use that data in a commercial way. Okay, James mega are a Greater China economics adjourn thank you so much for joining us this morning with the details of those regulatory changes that have been announced in China.

"National security it's Friday. The one star Pentagon spokesperson of the air force trying to explain why you, the American people, you don't get to know about communist Chinese spy balloons flying across America play cut. The position of the balloon classified? Phil right now, what we're not going to do is get into an hour by hour location of the balloon again. We're monitoring it closely. As I mentioned right now, it's over the center of the continental United States. That's about as specific as I'm going to get. I understand my being convenient, but as the public not have a right to know the public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is. You suck at son of a bee. Really? You can go outside and look out. Yeah, because if I go outside here by the nation's capital look in the sky, I'm going to see that it better not be coming over D.C., Brigadier. You saw castic cynical. You are the example of Millie's ideologically woke military. You have the right to go outside and look up. How is a Chinese government surveillance vessel flying over U.S. territory? This is reported last night, and we are told The Pentagon doesn't want to shoot it down because of the danger that it might result in.

Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder: Chinese Balloon Is Maneuverable, Invaded Air Space
"There's a couple of things I want to play for you First of all this is Brigadier general Patrick rider The Pentagon spokesman today at the press briefing saying that the balloon actually is maneuverable Oh that's fun Cut number 5 It's moving eastward and it's over the continental U.S. It's not over Montana anymore Is the Chinese government controlling the movement of the balloon Or is it just floating with air streams Thanks Jennifer So I'm not going to go into any specific intelligence that we may have Again we know this is a Chinese balloon and that it has the ability to maneuver But I'll just leave it at that Okay So okay maneuver That's helpful So why don't we tell it to maneuver the hell out of here And go away for example that would be very helpful I would think And I started to play this for you but I had to wrap it up short but I want to get to this point that we know it is a surveillance balloon It's not a weather balloon It wasn't there looking for agricultural samples or whatever the BS was that China told us today No it's just an agriculture balloon looking for earthworms or something Whatever their lame excuse was cut number 6 Hi pat Thank you for doing this China has said this is just a weather balloon that has veered off course Why is The Pentagon convinced that this is a surveillance balloon And then can you give us a little bit more on the status of the balloon You said it's in the central central U.S. what state do you have any guidance for people as they see this balloon or they're trying to photograph it or maybe try and interfere with it Sure Thanks Tara So first of all we are aware of the PRC's statement however the fact is we know that it's a surveillance balloon And I'm not going to be able to be more specific than that We do know that the balloon has violated U.S. airspace and international law which is unacceptable And so we've conveyed this directly to the PRC at multiple levels

Rep. Zach Nunn: Analyzing Surveillance Operations
"Are a combat veteran of the air force. I appreciate your service and we all thank you again for that. Your service then in uniform now in Congress, but this China balloon thing. Are you buying the story that it's a civilian airship doing meteorological research? Yeah, Jeff, not at all. This is a playbook messaging coming out of China's foreign ministry. Only because they got caught. If that were really the case, they would have been giving us a heads up a long time ago. Look, I've flown literally hundreds of surveillance operations with the U.S. Air Force off the coast of Russia. In the Middle East. And one of the things we do is that we never infringe on a sovereign country's airspace. That is a provocative provocation that can lead to unintended outcomes, particularly on the recon side. One of the things I'm concerned about with this balloon is it's flying upwards 80,000 feet, but it has a solar array package on it. It means it can dwell for a long time over places like Montana where it currently is where the United States nuclear arsenal, one of our basing operations is out. And it can collect not just visually what's happening, much like a cheap or low level satellite, but it can also pick up signals intelligence and start to collect signals intelligence as this idea of acquiring information that is highly sensitive that can come out through communications or through telemetry and indicators and Intel that could give away potentially sensitive information to the from the United States the Chinese government desperately wants and needs to get a closer look than what they can get from the satellite. So very concerning.

Who Is Watching the Eyes of the CCP?
"You received an invitation or you asked for an invitation to speak to the Republican governors associated to the national governors association. NGA. And they said, huh? And you showed up and you told them that each of them had been classified by the Chinese government, that got their attention. When you tell the audience a little bit about that story, which they've got to read in full to appreciate, but the CCP has a file on every governor and they are classified. So I had seen hints of this when I was a CA director, but I became Secretary of State. I was able to see it more clearly. And I was able to get this document declassified. It was written nominally by a Chinese think tank. But what they've done at the direction of the Chinese Communist Party was to continue to evaluate all 50 governors of the United States of America. And they would rank them. Friend foe or were working on them. And by the time I got it to classify, I'd also noted that there was a meeting in Washington, D.C., where all the governors would be. And so I called governor Hogan and then governor of New York, Cuomo, and asked for 20 minutes. They gave me 20 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty sleepy day. But when I began to lay out for them the fact that the Chinese Communist Party was watching them, observing them, running influence operations against them and had measured them, had raided them, essentially said, do we have them in our pocket yet or not, boy, I had their attention. They all, they all turned immediately to their devices or to their chiefs of staff and says, hey, I got to have a copy of that. I got to know where I am. And I wanted them to just be a little taken back, but mostly I wanted to remind them that this isn't just an attack on our federal government. It is at every level of our government today that the Chinese Communist Party is conducting its assault against our freedoms.

What Biden Did Is Far Worse Than What Trump Did...
"Look, this whole business of intent, I think, is completely misplaced in this case, because what's the crime? Let's look at the statute. The crime is essentially, and this is from the left, not for me, the possession of classified documents. Well, if that's the crime, then how is it that Biden is off the hook? Well, Biden promptly reported it. So, imagine if I rob a bank, I then go to the cops right away and say, listen, I'm the first person to disclose to you that I robbed the bank. Is that a defense? Is that exculpatory? Yeah, I killed this guy, but who told you about it? You wouldn't have known about it if I didn't tell you. Well, that doesn't really that's not really a very effective defense against the murder charge. Oregon's the homicide charge. So the point I'm trying to make is prompt notification of the authorities of your offense doesn't really get you off the hook for the offense. Not to mention, there are some very important differences between Trump and Biden, but they work in favor of Trump, not in favor of Biden. Number one, Mar-a-Lago is protected by Secret Service. It's a pretty secure location. Not so with the Penn Biden center, which doesn't have that. Now, Biden goes, well, I always lock my Corvette as if to say that's adequate protection for classified. I can leave documents in my car. I love my car. Number two, the Biden center is heavily subsidized with Chinese government money. Now the New York Post reports I'm holding the article right here. $54 million in Chinese gifts donated to UPenn, home of the Biden center. Now, this is a whole new twist because it suggests the possibility, perhaps even the probability that the Chinese sponsors of the Penn Biden center would have access to these documents. So national security is jeopardized in a very direct way completely different from Locke documents at Mar-a-Lago in which Trump has locked and key and then the FBI goes put another lock and key and so there are two locks on that on that storage.

Where Are the FBI Raids for Biden's Homes?
"So the question on many people's minds this morning, why hasn't the FBI implemented raids on all of the Biden homes? His personal home, the vacation home, The White House? And exactly how many classified documents are out there and to what extent the Chinese been able to use those documents. We know for a fact now that the Chinese government was giving upwards of $54 million to the University of Pennsylvania, much of that money was going to fund Joe Biden's fake institute at the university. And I say fake because when you look at the interviews. That were done at the facility, which is supposed to be a working institute. Just take a look around in the background. There's not a single painting on the wall. The walls are white. There's no materials on the desks, no phones, nothing. It's almost as if the whole thing is a charade. So something's going on there and we've got to get to the bottom of it. We know that we know that the Republicans in the House are going to be raising a lot of hullabaloo over this. But this is messed up. And president Trump is right to point out that there's something going on here, that something very dangerous is going on. And he also points out another very interesting observation. That there is a significant difference between what happened. With president Trump and what happened with Joe Biden. Keep in mind the FBI with the guns drawn pre dawn raid at Mar-a-Lago. And yet they've not rated the homes of Joe Biden. They haven't been rummaging around in the private bedrooms of Melania Trump or rather Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. They certainly did that to Melania Trump. They did that to baron Trump.

So she hadn't gave us a statement in which they didn't deny that their cotton comes from Xinjiang.

"This is very interesting but was more interested in is from. The chinese perspective was of their interaction with medicine. And they have. I mean you. There's something that you call it. Traditional chinese medicine but that's also constantly taping of the the the basis of chinese medicine. It's very much actually like your medicine. Indian medicine and then that you believe in a balance of certain elements in your body said energies sutton Animus i mean there's there's no hocus pocus about it but it's some But it said what what what you get is For example if you eat too. Many things than detainees would refer to it as as you have a surplus of something hot in in your body and then was a chinese doctor would not just prescribe medicine that is cooling but as also food and or practices which Which not medical in the sense that they interfere with your body but they bring your body back and balanced. That's the main idea about chinese medicine. I mean i'm not sure if you're weber. How has traditional medicine beta an extensive rolling in the recent pandemic issue. No that that's that's the one exception because this is something that they could not really controlled. It could come feebis stem it. Concoctions that contained opium because that that has an one of the effects is that it's so could february huge so it acts against fevers and off. That happens when you have caller up for example. So that's an epidemic you can get epidemics but against the plague against the bubonic plague or new money takes the the the nong or that didn't really work so that's why they resorted to practices. That involves a lot of smoke because they realized when never smoke says less of his played and then much later people realize that. Of course the connection was that Chase the smoke the rats therefore the the fleas they carry the your senior best is the the the the plague people need bacterium. So that that. That is that that is different. So it's it's very. It's very much a something you and this eunice doesn't make. It's huge to to traditional chinese medicine. Very interesting to to see to see.

"And what about the downside of civil rights with this model? We've seen examples such as hydrological departments, where large scale hydropower dams are put in place without fully consulting various communities whose lives are affected, and when these projects go ahead, they not only have very substantial human costs. In fact, they turn out to have very significant environmental damages over the long run as well. China is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses in the world. They also have one of the most ambitious plans. Ago. Carbon neutral in the world, aiming to reach net zero emissions. As as I said by 2060, How do you think the government ultimately plans to get there? Will the policy continue to revolve around a government that remains insular? There seems to be a very strong emphasis that China will continue to develop its carbon cap in trade mechanism domestically that is a warring sign. Chinese government, essentially his granted itself or well grant itself sweeping power in determining who will have these allowable emission credits that's assigned to them. Every business that there is will have some sort of a carbon footprint. I just don't know what kind of allocation mechanism will be the most equitable one, and if that mechanism is completely dictated By the Chinese government. There will be some Maurin consequences down the road, whether we like it or not, will the rest of the world and the years going forward be essentially following in China's environmental footsteps its policy simply by virtue of the massive scale China presents a lot of the things that China has been doing are indeed Environmentally beneficial, at least in dish work term, But I don't think we're in a position to make environmental gains by paying social and cultural.

"More of an impact in arctic regions. But what happens in Arctic areas doesn't just stay there. That's because melting at the polls leads to higher sea levels everywhere. China may be the biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. The U. S is still the largest on a per capita basis. But China is also the forefront of renewable energy innovation and also has some of the world's largest conservation projects. Beijing is trying to get to net zero carbon emissions by the year 2060. That means contributing no additional greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. You've alias, studying just how China could get there. He's an environmental researcher at New York University, Shanghai and the author of the recent book China Goes Green. If in your book you Talk about China's ambitious goals envision an ecological civilization. How would you describe what's at the heart of the Chinese government's vision and goals for 2060? The Chinese government is seeing and using this term ecological civilization as a national strategy, and and they're doing this to really describe the Chinese Communist Party. As an actor that tries to restore China back to its former glory. So the official history that a Communist Party has been teaching its people and has been paddling in official history. Ah, graffiti is that China had a glorious past, and it's not just any kind of glory, not just any kind of civilization, a leader The Chinese Communist Party sees itself is building a uniquely ecological kind of civilization. A leadership for the world ecological civilization does sound like a noble goal. But you also described China's green ambitions as coercive environmentalism. Explain that The idea being that if the goal of environmental protection is noble enough, an important enough, and perhaps we can use that gold to justify the means of authoritarianism. In other words, using authoritarians approaches to accomplish environmental protection goes What the Chinese government seems to be doing systematically at home and overseas is using environmental protection to accomplish authoritarians ends right. Well in your book to get specific, Geetha you describe how the Chinese government has used the pretense. Of environmentalism to exert control over communities. Give us some examples of that. Very much. So we're seeing the Chinese government using, for example, facial recognition technologies to control how citizens sort their garbage and recycle under the pretense of a national park initiative or conservation program. They are systematically relocating ethnic minority groups to create new national parks on what China cost the belt and road initiative. The Chinese government is pursuing a lot of government to government deals once again in the name of environmental protection, But these projects turned out to be categorically insensitive. Dissenting voices received the Chinese government using environmental protection as a reason to intensify trade manipulation. So does this model work either and service to the environment or to human or civil rights? Success of China's brand of state led environmentalism doesn't depend on a strong state, and in fact, the success depends on mechanisms that place Chinese state power in check. We see successful moments of Chinese coercive environmentalism when the state is open. To public inputs from all sorts of non state channels. To give you an example, the Chinese government developed to this interesting app, which everybody can download that's called black and smelly waters. Now through this app, the local authorities are getting inputs from the public. When they see a polluted body of water. They snap a picture and send them to the government through this app. In the government, then send their inspectors. What really can help the Chinese government achieved long term in from you know success is opening up the Chinese state to input from various walks of the society..
