Why Is Dianne Feinstein Helping the Chinese Military? [Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., has proposed two amendments to the upcoming NASA funding legislation requiring companies that wish to compete for NASA contracts to pass, in essence, a background check to ensure they are not compromised by China. By no stretch of the imagination should these amendments be considered controversial.  China is a serial thief of U.S. technology. It has a long history of extorting U.S. companies by forcing them to turn over methods, materials, and marketing secrets as a condition of entering China’s market of 1.3 billion people. These state-sanctioned thefts require U.S. firms to name Chinese nationals to their boards and management teams, who can then take what they learn to compete against the American firms—all with lower raw material costs because of Chinese-only purchasing rules. China also has a long history of spying within the United States.](https://humanevents.com/2020/09/04/why-is-dianne-feinstein-helping-the-chinese-military/)
