A register containing the names and positions of roughly 2 million members of the Chinese Communist Party was leaked and its existence revealed Sunday revealed by Sky News network.

It is one of the biggest intelligence finds and exposes the Chinese Communist Party’s “intricate and continued work to embed its spy network deep into other nations,” a former senior U.S. intelligence official with knowledge of China’s networks told me Sunday night.

According to spy news the leak, which contained a register of Chinese spies all over the world and exposed the CPP’s party operates under its leader Xi Jinping.

Sharri Markson said on Sky News that the “leak is a register with the details of Communist Party members, including their names, party position, birthday, national ID number and ethnicity. “It is believed to be the first leak of its kind in the world,” the Sky News host said.
“What’s amazing about this database is not just that it exposes people who are members of the communist party, and who are now living and working all over the world, from Australia to the US to the UK,” Ms Markson said.
“But it’s amazing because it lifts the lid on how the party operates under President and Chairman Xi Jinping.”
She said the “data was extracted from a Shanghai server by Chinese dissidents, whistleblowers, in April 2016, who have been using it for counter-intelligence purposes.”

The leak confirmed what many intelligence agencies and government officials have long suspected, that a multitude of CCP spies are embedded in government agencies, as well as companies around the world. The list revealed that many of the spies were operating in the United States, Australia and United Kingdom.

Gordon Chang, a China expert and author of “The Coming Collapse of China” had told me in earlier interviews that the best route to take with China would be “for the U.S. to cut its ties with” the communist nation. He long has chastised the U.S. government for attempting to broker trade deals with the communist regime, while not holding China accountable for intellectual property theft, as well as human rights violations.

He noted that for more than three decades the U.S. has not been able to achieve reciprocal or a fair trading relationship with the CCP.

With a little help from their Democrat friends, a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) battery company with ties to the Chinese Communist Party just announced the opening of its second plant in the United States.

Fox News reports Gotion Inc., whose parent company Gotion High-Tech is based in Hefei, China, unveiled plans to build a $2 billion lithium battery plant in Manteno, Illinois, alongside Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who cheered the project.

The announcement comes amid growing opposition to the company’s plans to build a billion-dollar factory in Mecosta County, Michigan.

In order to make the expansion happen, lobbyists for the Chinese Communist Party-tied electric vehicle company funneled cash to Democrats. “Individuals at a law firm registered as foreign agents to lobby on behalf of Gotion, a Chinese electric vehicle battery company developing a controversial project in Michigan, and wired campaign contributions to several top Democrats” reports Fox News.

“According to state and federal filings, Monique Field-Foster, an attorney at the Lansing office of the Warner Norcross + Judd law firm who is acting as a foreign agent on behalf of Gotion, donated to the campaigns of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Whitmer’s sister Liz Gereghty and Michigan Democratic Senate hopeful Rep. Elissa Slotkin” the Fox News report continued.

“With the right incentives, nation-leading infrastructure, world-class workforce and booming clean energy production, we have transformed ourselves into an attractive location for global manufacturers. Today, we take another leap forward. It’s my pleasure to welcome Gotion to Illinois and to show the world yet again that Illinois is ready to be a player on the world stage.”

Pritzker delivered remarks late last week thanking Gotion for choosing Illinois to call “home” in a ceremony with leaders from Gotion High-Tech, including Li Zhen, the company’s chairman and president, who said he expected the factory to open in less than 12 months.

“All that we see here [in Illinois] are of enormous value to us: an enabling business environment, a supportive state government for the new energy industry and their highly efficient work, as well as the prospects of the State of Illinois in the coming years,” the Gotion president added. “We believe that Gotion’s battery technology will help to boost e-mobility in North America and the economic and trade exchanges between China and the U.S.”
