In yet another chilling reminder of the threat posed by Communist China, two Chinese nationals have been caught attempting to smuggle a dangerous agricultural pathogen into the United States—one that experts warn could devastate American wheat farms and cripple our food supply.
The two individuals—Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34—were apprehended with *Fusarium graminearum*, a fungus identified in scientific literature as a potential **agroterrorism** weapon. One of the suspects was even employed at the taxpayer-funded University of Michigan, raising serious questions about how deeply Chinese operatives have embedded themselves in our institutions.
The charges? Conspiracy, smuggling, visa fraud, and making false statements. But the real headline is far more sinister: these foreign nationals were allegedly part of a plot to poison America’s food system. And as Trump officials and lawmakers make clear, this wasn’t just rogue activity—this reeks of CCP-directed sabotage.
“This is an attack on the American food supply,” said a senior Trump administration official speaking to the *New York Post*. And he’s absolutely right. This wasn’t a couple of rogue scientists bringing in contraband. This was calculated, intentional, and, if successful, could have caused millions in damages—not to mention food shortages and rising grocery prices for American families already struggling under Bidenflation.
Experts warned that while this particular wheat fungus already exists in the U.S., what the Chinese operatives were carrying appears to be a manipulated strain—engineered to resist treatment and spread more aggressively. That’s not agriculture. That’s biological warfare.
Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR), Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, didn’t mince words: “The CCP will use every tool in its warfare toolbox to cripple the United States and bring us to our knees.” He emphasized that a bioweapon like this could inflict devastating economic losses on American farmers and shake the very foundation of our food security.
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) echoed that warning, calling it exactly what it is: an act of war. “We are very fortunate the Trump administration and federal law enforcement stopped this potential bioweapon before it compromised our nation’s food supply.” Sen. Ernst has long been a voice for protecting American agriculture and has repeatedly warned that food security is national security.
And she’s right. While Democrats are busy trying to erase our borders and downplay the threat from Beijing, China has been gobbling up American farmland—some of it disturbingly close to U.S. military installations. Now, they’re apparently moving to the next phase: sabotage from within.
It’s time to wake up. The Trump administration, with its firm stance on China, strong border controls, and America-first approach, had the foresight to prevent a catastrophe. But this incident should serve as a clarion call: Communist China is not just a competitor—they are a direct threat to our sovereignty, our economy, and our survival.
The question now is—will Washington finally act, or will Biden keep playing nice while the CCP plots in our own backyard?
