Biden goes all-in on Russiagate 2.0 while ignoring China’s creeping attacks on democracy

 Completely undeterred by the fact that Russian interference in US elections proved a fantasy the first time, the Harris-Biden team is trying to launch Russiagate 2.0 — even as it seems to ignore China’s raging and ruthless covert activities across the country.

On Wednesday, the Justice Department accused Moscow of trying to influence the 2024 election by spreading disinformation; it imposed sanctions on the leaders of state-media operation RT and a Russian hacking group, RaHDIt.

Fine; slap the slimy Kremlin-aligned goons, but don’t play politics with it: The central claim of Russiagate — that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election — has been thoroughly debunked over and over again.

This is kicking slugs out of the garden while ignoring a venomous snake in the grass.

Another adversarial power has been hacking US infrastructure, flagrantly running operations on US soil, and spying on politicians and civilians alike — and it’s China, not Russia.

The brazen behavior that has come to light just in the past few weeks:

• Former Gov. Hochul aide Linda Sun was arrested as a paid agent of Beijing and the Chinese Communist Party, blocking New York leaders from meeting with representatives from Taiwan and upping access for CCP reps.

• The Washington Post dropped a bombshell report on how China organized counter-protesters to harass and attack anti-CCP demonstrators during Xi Jinping’s visit to San Fransisco last year.

• Isabel Vincent of this Post reported last week that the CCP spread lies throughout the Chinese community in Brooklyn about dissenter Xiong Yan, a Tiananmen Square protester who ran for Congress in 2022, in an effort to keep him out of office.
• 
  
• That’s as blatant as election interference comes.

CCP operatives in our country work to quash critics of Beijing, influence officials and steal government and private-sector secrets — and we don’t even know where the snake might be ready to strike next.

In April, FBI chief Christopher Wray warned: “China already has a bigger hacking program than every other major nation combined,” with Beijing-linked hackers waiting “for just the right moment to deal a devastating blow.”

Yet Biden didn’t even stop China’s spy balloon as it flew over the country on an obvious intelligence-gathering mission in 2023.

And the Harris-Biden team rolled out the red carpet for the CCP figure who set up “secret police stations” across America.

Bad enough that Democrats are laser-focused on the Kremlin’s wrongdoing in a partisan drive to keep the Trump-Russia myth alive; far worse that they largely ignore China insidious creep into American life.
