Hsu in a statement. \u201cWe are fortunate to have someone with her background and experience in both finance and climate-related financial risk to lead the agency\u2019s risk management work in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining the administration, Chen worked in climate policy for the New York State Department of Financial Services as well as the International Association of Insurance Supervisors.<\/p>\n<p>Most notable in Chen\u2019s resume, however, is that she previously graduated from Tsinghua University, a Beijing-based academic institution that is known to conduct military research for the Chinese government and People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA). The university is also the alma mater of Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/unitracker.aspi.org.au\/universities\/tsinghua-university\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI)<\/a>, Tsinghua University \u201cis designated very high risk for its high level of defence research and alleged involvement in cyber attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTsinghua engages in a range of military research and was awarded secret-level security credentials for classified research in 2007,\u201d an ASPI report reads.\u00a0\u201cIn advancing military-civil fusion, Tsinghua also continues its \u2018fine tradition\u2019 of serving China\u2019s national security and defense, actively creating new platforms and initiatives to support this strategy.\u00a0Not only its dedicated defence laboratories but also a range of key laboratories and research institutions at the university have received funding from the military.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the areas covered by Tsinghua\u2019s military research are \u201cartificial intelligence, air-to-air missiles, navigation technology, instrument science and materials science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden Administration\u2019s climate policies follow the same strategy established by [Environmental, Social, and Governance] architect\u00a0Larry Fink\u00a0\u2013 dismantle America\u2019s energy industry while propping up the Chinese Communist Party,\u201d said Consumers\u2019 Research\u00a0Executive Director Will Hild, who broke the story on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WillHild\/status\/1569684849178574850?s=20&amp;t=cWORDxkHGC364d8CB3RxFQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>. \u201cThey\u2019ve become so arrogant they\u2019re not even making an effort to hide it, appointing Dr. Yue Chen, a graduate of the CCP training grounds Tsinghua University, to a senior role at the Treasury Department\u2019s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being a research tool for China\u2019s military apparatus, Tsinghua University has also reportedly been complicit in the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s (CCP) crackdown on the country\u2019s Uyghur Muslim population. In 2019, the U.S. government <a href=\"https:\/\/unitracker.aspi.org.au\/universities\/tsinghua-university\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">placed<\/a> iFlytek, a Chinese voice recognition company that partnered with Tsinghua in 2006 \u201cto establish a joint research institute,\u201d on its Entity List after the company was found to be \u201cimplicated in supporting human rights abuses in Xinjiang through its surveillance technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Tsinghua has also been utilized as an arm of the Chinese government to target U.S. firms and government agencies. In 2018, the cybersecurity firm known as Recorded Future <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-china-cyber\/chinese-hackers-targeted-u-s-firms-govt-after-trade-mission-researchers-idUSKBN1L11D2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">revealed<\/a> that a group of hackers \u201cused computers at China\u2019s Tsinghua University to target U.S. energy and communications companies, as well as the Alaskan state government, in the weeks before and after Alaska\u2019s trade mission to China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time for hard working Americans to stand up to progressive elites and stop allowing them to give China a one-way ticket to surpass the United States as the preeminent global power,\u201d Hild said. \u201cWith Fink and Biden at the wheel we are speeding toward dependance on a communist nation run by a dictator responsible for slavery, genocide, and theft of American innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Shawn Fleetwood is a Staff Writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
