China's 'Rent-A-Womb' Industry Is A National Security Nightmare
China's 'Rent-A-Womb' Industry Is A National Security Nightmare - BY: EMMA WATERS
- Increasingly, Chinese nationals are using American surrogates to bear their children.
- Thanks to in vitro fertilization, they don’t even need to leave China.
- American policymakers need to get serious about countering the threat from communist China.
"...Seeking to further boost the birthrate, Sichuan and Guangdong provinces have relaxed their birth registration requirements...
On top of that is the lure of America’s “birth citizenship” policy.
Chinese children birthed by an American surrogate gain and maintain the full rights of U.S. citizenship just by being born here — even though they will be raised in China.

"Twenty-four people were shot Saturday night at a Sweet 16 birthday party in Dadeville, Ala., population 3,000.
FACT-O-RAMA! A mass shooting is when four or more people are shot, not including the shooter, in a fluid situation. Hence, when a transgender shooter killed three people — and himself — in 2017, it was not considered to be a mass shooting.
Yet another mass shooting took place this week in Louisville, Ky.FACT-O-RAMA! A reporter from Alexander City Outlook stated that the police were being “tight-lipped” regarding the identity of the shooter and whether anyone is in custody; however, they claim there is no danger to the public at this time.
Police say shots were fired into a crowd of hundreds of people gathered Saturday night in Chickasaw Park around 9 p.m. Two people were killed, and four others were wounded, one seriously.
FAKE NEWS-O-RAMA! The Communist News Network (CNN) referred to mass shootings as a “distinctly American phenomenon,” but actual evidence proves CNN is lying (again). The U.S. ranks #11 in mass shootings deaths per capita.

China expands wartime military draft to include veterans and college students | Fox News:
Beijing this week announced revisions to its conscription policy and said that should China enter a state of war, veterans and educated college students can expect to be on top of the list to be drafted.

However, adding the nation's most educated as priority draftees runs counter not only to traditional Western conscription practices, but China’s as well.
