"Washington is taking another crack at the one thing that really scares Xi Jinping. The U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) is investigating the wealth of the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) – that's Xi Jinping, and the other six members of the Politburo Standing Committee, along with the full 25-member Politburo. The FY 2026 Intelligence Authorization Act (Section 513) requires the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to draft the report – and to look at assets, financial holdings, real estate, and business interests – to include those held outside China. The report will also include the ‘cut outs' and ‘fronts' enabling and obscuring Xi and top officials' ownership. The final report is due out later this year…"

It's a pity they can't do the same to the Australian parliament or US congress, ain't it?  |

+1 Dal – from Democrat "Fang Fang" Swallwell to Republican "Might be Dead" McConnell… our country is awash in Chinese influence $$ and espionage. Did you see the most recent Chinese rocket launch of total copy of the SpaceX Falcon reusable booster? I dunno why we can't be better about stopping tech theft. |

"Hurt them" Seriously? Where? How? He's not an elected official, in any way, shape or form. 🤷 And the Chinese people are certainly not expecting their leaders to not be rich. It'll be a scandal ONLY to people who think that Commies are benevolent. Which makes them basically illiterate of history. |

Of course China's corrupt leaders are making big bucks. We have no authority there. Their US properties could use some scrutiny. At least they moved their big bank out of that NYC tower. Somebody pour me a Cash Patel bourbon. |

@Dal Gavan: Isn't the PRC's MSS be compiling those reports? Probably, mate. But the MSS will probably keep mum and use their findings for leverage. I'd much prefer the data to be published, so we can know just how criminal our pollies (and their minders) are. so many other Congress of the World True, Armand. They're all the same subspecies, regardless of nationality. I dunno why we can't be better about stopping tech theft. What Grattan54 said, mate. There's always someone who can be bought, blackmailed or honey-trapped. |
