Chinese spy Xu Yanjun convicted of trying to steal US aviation trade secrets from GE Aviation
Xu Yanjun was found guilty of two counts of conspiring and attempting to commit economic espionage, and three counts related to trade secret theft. Xu was one of 11 Chinese nationals named in October 2018 indictments for involvement in a scheme to steal technology from GE Aviation.
A Chinese intelligence officer was on Friday convicted in US federal court of economic espionage in an alleged state-backed effort to steal technology from US and French aerospace firms, the Justice Department said.
Xu Yanjun, an official in the Jiangsu province foreign intelligence office of the Ministry of State Security, was found guilty in the Cincinnati court on two counts of conspiring and attempting to commit economic espionage, and three counts related to trade secret theft. The economic espionage charges carry a maximum of 15 years in prison each and a fine of up to US$5 million, while the other charges bring up to 10 years in prison each. Xu was one of 11 Chinese nationals, including two intelligence officers, named in October 2018 indictments for involvement in a five-year scheme to steal technology from Cincinnati-based GE Aviation, one of the world’s leading aircraft engine manufacturers, and France’s Safran Group, which was working with GE on engine development. “Xu attempted to steal technology related to GE Aviation’s exclusive composite aircraft engine fan, which no other company in the world has been able to duplicate, to benefit the Chinese state,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
Xu, using various aliases, “identified experts who worked for the companies and recruited them to travel to China”, the statement added. He was arrested in April 2018 in Belgium, where he had apparently been lured in a counter-intelligence operation – he had planned to secretly meet a GE employee on the trip.
He was extradited to the US in October 2018 to face trial. The 2018 indictments named 10 other accomplices in the operation, including the two Jiangsu security officials – who appear to have worked under Xu – six hackers, and two employees of the French company. None of the 10 have been arrested.
The indictments detailed efforts to use malware and phishing techniques to hack into target computers and remove data on the engines and parts. The Justice Department said at the time that a Chinese state-owned aerospace company had been trying to develop an engine like GE’s for use in China-made aircraft. After Xu’s arrest, China said the United States was “making something out of thin air”.

US needs to decouple from China now: Peter Navarro
Former President Donald Trump’s trade adviser says the U.S. needs to completely decouple from China as a means of making it pay for unleashing the COVID-19 pandemic on the world.
COVID-19 has infected more than 46 million Americans while killing over 751,000. Actions taken to slow the spread of the virus have resulted in trillions of dollars of economic damage. "We are in a war with communist China," said Peter Navarro, former assistant to the president for manufacturing and trade policy and former director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. "They attacked us with a bio weapon," Navarro added. "They're threatening Taiwan. They took Hong Kong. They continue to steal our intellectual property. They are an existential threat to this country, and we need to hold them accountable for this violence."
In order to make China pay, Navarro says the U.S. should first wipe out the more than $1 trillion in debt owed to Beijing. Then, it should seize all the U.S. real estate assets — both commercial and residential — that are owned by members of the Chinese Communist Party.
Navarro spoke with FOX Business days after the release of his new book, "In Trump Time: My Journal of America’s Plague Year."
The book, whose title is a reference to Trump’s obsession to get things done as quickly as possible, chronicles Navarro’s battles with Dr. Anthony Fauci, discusses how to make China pay for the economic damage caused by COVID and examines the 2020 election and the events of Jan. 6. Trump and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He in January 2020 signed a phase one trade agreement that included commitments from Beijing to purchase an additional $200 billion of U.S. products over the next two years, stop stealing America’s intellectual property, refrain from currency manipulation and to cooperate in financial services.
Navarro, a key member on Trump’s trade team, says President Biden won’t enforce the agreement, and China won’t ever live up to the deal.

Biden sent 70 secret night flights of migrants from border to Florida
More than 70 flights transporting migrants from the southern border to Jacksonville have landed in the dark of night in recent months as the Biden administration struggles to empty overflowing border facilities, the office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said.
It is the first time the state of Florida has disclosed the number of confirmed flights arriving in the state since the summer. The governor's office has scrambled in recent weeks to uncover who is facilitating the mystery flights landing in northern Florida daily, but the Biden administration has refused to disclose any information, one official said.
“Over 70 air charter flights [on] jetliner airliners coming from the southwest border have landed at Jacksonville International Airport,” said Larry Keefe, DeSantis’s public safety czar. “On average, there's 36 passengers on each of these flights. And that has been going on over the course of the summer through September.”
Keefe, who was the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Florida until early 2021, said the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Health and Human Services will not tell the state of Florida who is overseeing the flights, the names of those on the flights, or where the migrants are being taken. None of the agencies or the White House responded to a request for comment. "We're in a sad situation of trying to run an investigation. Who is facilitating this travel? How are they getting here? Who are the support people? Who are the sponsors?" Keefe asked.
Jacksonville is located on the eastern side of the state, along Interstate 95, the major highway that runs up and down the East Coast. Florida officials are aware that the groups being flown in are then being transported by charter bus north and south on the interstate. "We don't know definitively or specifically as to why Jacksonville is the chosen place," Keefe said. "[We're] having to watch and observe — in effect, spy on the government to see what it is that they're doing in the middle of the night out of these airport facilities." Keefe added that the state government was informed of the flights by local law enforcement.
In October, the New York Post reported similar flights arriving in Westchester, New York, throughout the summer. The Florida flights have come under special scrutiny by the state after an incident involving a 24-year-old Honduran man who was arrested on suspicion of murder . Keefe said the state is investigating whether Yery Noel Medina Ulloa, who lied to Border Patrol and local Jacksonville police when he claimed to be 17 years old and known by a different name, may have been on one of the night flights because he pretended to be a minor and would have been detained in federal custody with minors.
The victim, Francisco Javier Cuellar, was fatally stabbed in his home on Oct. 6. An arrest warrant filed by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office stated that security cameras in Cuellar’s home appeared to show Ulloa “stabbing the victim numerous times and repeatedly hitting him with a chair.” Cuellar, a father of four, was a legal resident from Mexico and had hired Ulloa at his grocery store in Jacksonville.

Japan to reopen borders starting Monday
The Japanese government announced on Friday that it will reopen its borders for business people and students, starting on Monday, although restrictions on overseas tourist arrivals will remain in place for now. The country will lift the entry ban for business people, students and technical trainees. For business people who are fully vaccinated, the mandatory self-isolation period will be cut to a minimum three days.
As many as 370,000 people are waiting to enter the country. They have already been issued entry visas, but have been barred from entering the country. Of the total, 150,000 are students and 110,000 are technical trainees. Once the restrictions are lifted, these people will be allowed in gradually. The government expects the number of business people traveling to Japan to increase as a result of the new measures. The easing measures are conditional upon the receiving organizations taking steps to make sure the visitors follow the protocol for infection prevention. The organizations include businesses and universities. They are required to submit implementation plans to relevant regulators, such as the industry, education or farm ministries. Currently even those who have been vaccinated are required to stay at home for 10 days after entering Japan. Shortening the period to three days is expected to boost business activity.
In January, the government tightened restrictions on entry into Japan in response to the appearance of COVID-19 variants. It banned all new arrivals, other than those with "special circumstances." Tourists are not covered under the relaxed rules. The government will assess the effectiveness of the measures within the year and consider whether to expand the scope of the relaxation in stages, while monitoring the status of the outbreak. Toshihiro Nagahama, chief economist at the Dai-ichi Life Research Institute, estimates that the easing will boost gross domestic product by about 830 billion yen ($7.3 billion) per year, spurred by more people entering Japan and spending.
Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Seiji Kihara said at a news conference on Friday, "If the situation worsens, such as with the spread of a new variant, we will take swift action." He added that the government will continue to give "positive consideration" to the possibility of further easing.

Japan PM Kishida to meet Biden in US before end of month - Jiji
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who took office a month ago, plans to visit the United States for talks with US President Joe Biden before the end of November, Jiji news agency reported on Friday.
Kishida and Biden spoke briefly in Glasgow this week on the sidelines of the UN climate summit and the two agreed at the time to meet formally before the end of the year for talks on issues of mutual concern.
Kishida has a full schedule at the end of the year, including budget deliberations and taking part in an extraordinary session of parliament likely to convene at the end of November at the earliest, so an ideal time for the visit would be before that, Jiji added.
