President Joe Biden, who announced his re-election bid Tuesday morning, has overseen a job boom in Democratic cities in at lesat two industries. Unfortunately, the jobs are for Chinese lobbyists and Chinese spies.
The White House and Democratic-run cities are inundated with lobbyists for Chinese spying apps, secret Chinese police, and an unknown number of undercover Chinese agents, a series of stories show.
Let’s survey some of the damage Biden has done.

House Republicans want to take on TikTok, the Chinese social media app that promotes dangerous trends to teenagers and spies on a vast amount of information on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.
Officials in the company’s Internal Audit and Risk Control planned to track at least two Americans’ locations using the technology’s data through back doors built into the app, according to a report released last fall.
But the Chinese spies don’t need a back door at the Biden White House: The front door is always open.
Lobbyists representing TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, visited the Biden White House 40 times in the last year alone, according to official White House visitor records.
In fact, the Chinese tapped an old friend and colleague of Biden’s to lead the effort.
John Breaux, a former Democratic U.S. senator from Louisiana, now works as a lobbyist for Crossroads Strategies—and Crossroads Strategies works for TikTok.
Breaux visited the White House three times last year and also scored a face-to-face with John Podesta, who is now Biden’s senior clean energy adviser, last November.

That’s concerning, because Podesta is one of the most well-connected politicos in D.C. He managed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and founded the Center for American Progress, an influential, Soros-funded think tank.
China’s tentacles go way, way beyond Biden—as bad as that is.
Who else is caught in China’s embrace? Almost every left-wing Democrat in New York.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, both Democrats, apparently attended a March 18 fundraiser with Lu Jianwang, who ran an illegal Chinese police station in Manhattan.
Lu also reportedly donated $32,625 to politicians in the Empire State, including Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul.
The Democrats Lu isn’t paying off, TikTok is.
As The Horn reported, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined TikTok…a few months after ByteDance donated $150,000 to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute last year—a group that has her on its advisory council.

Yet another New York socialist, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, stood up for the Chinese spying app after it donated $150,000 to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation… which works with his wife, Melissa Oppenheimer.
The company also made a $75,000 donation in honor of the 68 members of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus last December.
What a tangled web.
“It is not surprising that that CCP spies are mingling with prominent Democrats like Chuck Schumer,” said Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. “It is clear that the Left learned nothing after Eric Swalwell” and his passionate dalliance with Chinese agent Fang Fang.
Aside from Manhattan, the Chinese also run “community centers” in Democrat-run cities like San Francisco and Houston, where they spy on American activities—and that may be the tip of the iceberg.
The Chinese dragon may have its claws sunk deep into America’s hide. China wants to use its “sister city” program to embed CCP spies inside 157 cities, a Republican senator warns. The Chinese Communists expand their spy network by “working at the local level, so that they’re building those relationships and friendships with people they deem as future leaders. They want to have that toehold with local individuals,” said Blackburn.
U.S. intelligence will probe these relationships to see just how many spies Beijing has implanted in America’s cities through this program, and “make sure we don’t have programs that are providing secret or sensitive info to the Chinese Communist Party,” if legislation Blackburn introduced last Wednesday is adopted.

“It’s embedded in the Chinese Communist Party’s DNA to exploit cultural and economic partnerships,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
It’s obvious why Chinese Communists spy on the Americans, but why do Democrats go along with it?
All you have to do is follow the money.
“Democrats get their money from Big Business, Big Hollywood, Big Universities and Big Tech, all of whom get their money from China,” said Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
ByteDance has gone on a $13.4 million lobbying spree since 2019, with a lot of that money aimed at Democrats and members of the Biden administration.
And, of course, the Biden family’s relationship with the Chinese Communist Party gets worse every day.
At least a dozen members of the Biden family were on the take from foreign sources as part of their influence-peddling operation, according to the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
“It’s the entire family,” said Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., on Sunday. “There’s not going to be anybody left for a Christmas picture if the (Justice Department) did their job and went in there and indicted everyone.”

That includes “the big guy, Joe Biden,” Comer said.
That shows China casting a dark shadow over the entire country.
“While the Biden administration is attempting to appease Beijing and work on climate change, CCP spies are infiltrating cities and organizations around the country,” said Blackburn.
