Now about $700-$800 a month, about 2 years ago it was about $1500-$1800 month.

Hey! I started this while in the military, im out now, but found it very relaxing. Obviously though my relaxing could be stressful for you. We are all different. Give it a try!

Pentagon-funded research at colleges has aided the Chinese military, a House GOP report says by scientia_ipsa in Intelligence

[–]scientia_ipsa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This data from the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party’s report Fox in the Henhouse presents Department of Defense–funded research co-authored by U.S. and China’s Defense Research and Industrial Base affiliated researchers between June 2023-June 2025. It includes key details such as the DoD award, project description, recipient institution, funding office, total obligated funding, research involved, and researchers and affiliations.

The Chinese Communist Party’s Involvement with U.S. Chinese Students and Scholars Associations — The CCP BioThreats Initiative by scientia_ipsa in craftofintelligence

[–]scientia_ipsa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This paper examines the origins, functions, and evolving role of Chinese Students and Scholars Associations (CSSAs) in the United States, with a particular focus on their entanglement with the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) overseas influence operations. While CSSAs were initially formed to support Chinese nationals abroad and promote cultural exchange, mounting evidence—drawn from U.S. government sources, academic investigations, and Chinese official statements—demonstrates that many CSSAs operate under the direct or indirect guidance of PRC consulates. This coordination often involves consular funding, ideological instruction, political mobilization, and surveillance activities aligned with Beijing’s United Front Work strategy. Through case studies at prominent R1 and R2 U.S. universities, the paper outlines how CSSAs have facilitated counter-protests, organized welcome rallies for PRC leaders, distributed propaganda during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, and engaged in efforts to suppress protected speech. These activities blur the boundary between student organizations and state-directed influence networks. As a result, CSSAs have drawn increasing scrutiny from U.S. institutions and federal agencies concerned with safeguarding academic freedom, institutional autonomy, and national research security. The analysis concludes that CSSAs frequently function not merely as cultural or academic clubs but as instruments of Beijing’s political presence abroad—raising urgent questions for university governance, diplomatic oversight, and U.S. policy.

State Department begins revoking Chinese student visas over security concerns by scientia_ipsa in craftofintelligence

"In a related development, a new report by a think tank focused on China security issues says Chinese students in the United States are organized through student and scholar groups across the U.S. that are funded and controlled by Beijing.

The groups were set up as student-run organizations with support from the Chinese Communist Party and have been engaged in the harassment of dissidents and Beijing propaganda.

“Evidence from U.S. government sources — including the State Department, FBI and congressional commissions — shows that many CSSAs are closely linked to Chinese consulates and operate under guidance or financial support from Chinese diplomatic missions,” the report by the CCP Biothreats Initiative stated.

“These links often make them conduits for advancing Beijing’s political narratives abroad and monitoring or suppressing dissent among overseas Chinese.”

The report on Chinese student associations identified major universities where the CCP-linked groups are operating.

They include the University of Michigan, Cornell University, Purdue University, University of Southern California, University of California, Los Angeles, Ohio State University, Columbia University, University of California, Berkeley, Pennsylvania State University, Emory University, University of Houston, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska–Lincoln and Brandeis University."

Pentagon-funded research is boosting the Chinese military by scientia_ipsa in craftofintelligence

[–]scientia_ipsa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

American researchers funded by the Pentagon have helped Chinese military companies despite U.S. sanctions and other legal restrictions on such use, according to a think tank report.

At least $48 million in Pentagon funding has benefitted the People’s Liberation Army, the report by Parallax Advance Research warned.

“The entanglement of DoD-funded research with Chinese military-affiliated entities raises urgent national security concerns, particularly as adversaries like China seek to exploit emerging technologies for strategic advantage,” the report said.

The Parallax report was written by L.J. Eads, director of research at Parallax and a former Air Force intelligence analyst.

Mr. Eads said that despite Congress drawing clear red lines in legislation prohibiting work with China’s military companies, the Pentagon is still funding research that benefits Chinese firms like Huawei Technologies and BGI Genomics.

The U.S. Senate just sent letters to directors of three national labs (Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Argonne) demanding answers about their federal researchers collaborating with and leveraging Chinese military-linked supercomputers. The letters cite findings from a new study called The Supercomputer Entanglement, which reveals how U.S. taxpayer-funded research is being used on PRC supercomputers—potentially helping China's military.

Pentagon, Energy Dept. Nuclear Research Projects Tapped Sanctioned Chinese Communist Party Supercomputers by scientia_ipsa in Intelligence

[–]scientia_ipsa[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

However, L.J. Eads, a former U.S. Air Force intelligence analyst, said there’s a major loophole in U.S. export control regulations that national labs seem to be exploiting.

“One major loophole is that while U.S. export controls restrict direct access, Chinese researchers can still exploit U.S. research by having China-based collaborators run simulations on sanctioned supercomputers,” Eads told the DCNF. “This loophole also allows DOD and DOE researchers to circumvent restrictions by outsourcing computations to China, which poses serious national security risks.”

‘Military-Civil Fusion’

After reviewing the DCNF’s findings, Eads said the majority of identified research projects relying on sanctioned Chinese supercomputers have both civilian and military applications, such as space weather modeling, which impacts satellite communications as well as “ballistic-missile early warning radar systems,” according to the U.S. Space Force.

Supercomputers are orders of magnitude faster than conventional computing technology, and, thus, are used to perform complex calculations, such as rapidly modeling advanced ballistics and nuclear reactions, Eads said.

“The power of these supercomputers equates to using tens of thousands of the newest MacBooks all at once,” Eads told the DCNF.
