NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING IF SHE WAS IN OFFICE

EXCLUSIVE: A Fox News Digital investigation reveals how a multimillionaire tech tycoon is deploying Mao Zedong’s playbook against Western culture. Neville Roy Singham has funneled $278 million into a massive web of shell entities and nonprofits to coordinate Marxist messaging designed to promote China as the global heavyweight while systematically stripping away American influence.

据《金融时报》引述知情人士爆料,通用人工智能初创公司 Manus 遭遇重大监管变故:其创始人肖弘及首席科学家季逸超本月被发改委召至北京开会后,因监管审查正式被限制出境。此前该团队刚被 Meta 以数十亿美元高价收购,肖弘原定出任 Meta 副总裁,如今这一“出海梦”恐因突如其来的边控而化为泡影。 看这翻手为云覆手为雨的转折,多少顶尖才俊自以为已踏上通往硅谷巅峰的红地毯,转头却发现自己仍困在时代的围城里,这种被宏大叙事瞬间锁死命运的窒息感,确实令人唏嘘。








🚨🇨🇳 ANDURIL FOUNDER WANTS "DEFECTOR VISAS" TO RAID CHINA'S BEST ENGINEERS Palmer Luckey, the Hawaiian-shirt-wearing billionaire who sold Oculus to Facebook for $2 billion and now runs $14B defense tech company Anduril, has a plan to beat China: steal their engineers. Speaking on the Shawn Ryan podcast in February, Luckey proposed reviving Cold War-era "defector visas" - targeted recruitment of critical personnel from adversary nations. The pitch: "We can steal their very best manufacturing engineers, deprive China of those people and then put them to work here helping us catch up with China on manufacturing. That's a great trade." Not subtle about it either. "We're trying to steal the very best people from our greatest foe. Surely we can agree that's usually worth doing." His target isn't generic talent. Luckey specified: "China's got plenty of rice pickers. Taking a rice picker is not going to hurt. Taking the head of an advanced silicon manufacturing facility that can make cutting edge computer graphics chips, that is going to really, really hurt them." The Cold War model: NASA recruited Soviet missile engineers by offering U.S. jobs. Luckey wants that playbook back - with emphasis on dual benefit: gain capability AND inflict damage. He extended the concept beyond China: "Let's take whoever's running Venezuela's oil and gas machinery over there. Imagine what would happen if we identified their top 10 most competent people running their oil and gas organizations and we gave them all defector visas." Here's what nobody's saying: 18% of Silicon Valley tech workers with bachelor's degrees were born in China. They're already here. The talent pipeline Luckey wants to weaponize... already exists. The problem? Security clearances. Defense contractors can't hire Chinese nationals for sensitive work. Luckey knows this - Anduril was sanctioned by China in July 2024 for Taiwan arms sales. The bigger irony: Chinese engineers are increasingly returning home. More opportunities in China, better salaries, geopolitical tensions making US visas harder. The flow is reversing. And Luckey himself has criticized H-1B visas - the existing skilled worker program - calling it "obviously a program to try and replace American workers with slave labor that can't ever escape." So the pitch is: don't use the visa program we have (exploits workers), create a new one targeting enemy nationals (security nightmare), to solve a manufacturing gap that exists because we offshored everything to China decades ago. What happens next? Luckey's building Arsenal-1 in Ohio - a $1B factory designed to manufacture autonomous weapons faster than peer adversaries. He wants engineers to staff it. Whether they come from Iowa or Shanghai doesn't seem to be the point. The point is speed. And Anduril's betting that China's best manufacturing talent would rather build drones in Columbus than microchips in Shenzhen.
