South Dakota Republican Governor Kristi Noem warned of the threat posed by Chinese spies to American intellectual property, describing that China was taking advantage of the open southern border to deploy its agents in the U.S. interior. "I have systematically watched China steal our intellectual property, they have manipulated their currency, they have punished us with trade agreements and regulations," she said on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. "They've come in and purchased our fertilizer and chemical companies, our processing systems, now they're stealing our data and information and spying on us, and then crossing our southern border to infiltrate us with military aged men that are here only to damage us." Describing that China sought to make the U.S. dependent on them by acquiring its critical infrastructure, including the food and pharmaceutical supplies.
