The Issue: A Chinese national couple charged with smuggling a dangerous fungus into the US.

We’ve heard this song before (“Smuggled fungus a ‘growing’ threat,” June 4).

It seems that the Chinese Communist Party sent a student to the United States with a fungus that has the potential to wipe out large swaths of American agriculture, potentially resulting in mass starvation and deaths.

Sound familiar?

Remember COVID?

Instead of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the CCP was using the biolab at the University of Michigan to tinker with this potentially dangerous fungus in our own backyard.

Since all Chinese exchange students pledge their allegiance to the CCP, their student visas must be revoked and no further visas issued.

A Chinese researcher smuggling an agricultural pathogen into this country is a major red flag.

First, it was stealing intellectual property, then it was purchasing properties adjacent to military sites, then TikTok, fentanyl, COVID, a spy balloon and now this brazen act.

It’s time for the United States to take some drastic action, such as canceling all Chinese foreign-exchange student visas, refusing any financial donations to our universities and immediately deporting any Chinese migrants that crossed our borders illegally in the past four years.

Anyone who still thinks that the Chinese government isn’t involved in bioterrorism should take a look at Thursday’s headlines, stating that two Chinese scientists were caught smuggling a dangerous fungus into the United States.

So COVID was a “lab accident?”

And lanternflies just flew 6,000 miles across the Pacific on their own?

Please, give me a break.

President Xi Jinping has to be held accountable for these atrocities.

It looks like President Trump was right again in wanting to restrict student visas.

Commie loyalist Yunqing Jian joins Columbia’s Hamas-loving Mohsen Mahdawi as exhibits one and two.

For decades, universities in America have allowed foreign students to study here with little or no vetting.

It is no surprise that our enemies have seized upon this practice to destroy our democracy.

Keep them out.

During no previous wartime of the past 100 years were our enemies welcomed to visit America and to buy homes or farms — and surely not land near strategic defense facilities.

That would’ve been stupid and dangerous. But here we are, allowing just that.

Finding a Chinese grad student at the University of Michigan potentially doing agro-terror to our crops and livestock is appalling and indicates a complete disregard for national security.

If this pair were found out last July, why is the story breaking now?

This is a ridiculous disclosure that exposes a lazy and ignorant nation, too naive to conduct simple due diligence on enemy visitors.

We should know that too many Chinese students are spies doing work for their mother country.

Send all of them back home before they do mortal damage to America.

When are we going to wake up and realize that China is attempting a biochemical war against us and the world?

We have got to do something about this because China will not stop.

While they’re at it, the feds should look into China-owned farms in America.

They could be purposely infected with those toxic pathogens in hopes that the infection will spread to nearby American-owned farms.

But wait: A Rutgers biologist says this ploy by two Chinese nationals doesn’t pose a new threat and that importing the fungus openly with the proper procedures “almost certainly would have been approved.”

But then why did they attempt to smuggle it in?

Our country is so unbelievably naive.
