Following ongoing incidents of stealthy infiltration by communist China, culminated recently by the apprehension of two individuals suspected of “bioterrorism” in Michigan, an expert has asserted that cutting all ties with China is necessary.

Gordon Chang, an attorney and specialist on the Chinese Communist Party, expressed to Fox News Digital, “The sole solution is to break off relations with China. It might be seen as drastic by some, but the situation is dire. We risk facing severe threats, not only from COVID and fentanyl but potentially from even more dangerous forces.”

Chang’s remarks are in response to recent developments involving Chinese nationals Yunqing Jian, 33, and her partner Zunyong Liu, 34, who are accused of smuggling Fusarium graminearum into the U.S. and experimenting on it over two years. Jian, a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan, was allegedly backed in part by the Chinese government.

“We can lose our country, even though we’re the far stronger nation, because we are not defending ourselves with the vigor and determination that is necessary,” Chang told Fox News Digital.

Chang also noted that in 2020, Americans in all 50 states received seeds from China unsolicited, which he said “was an attempt to plant invasive species” in the U.S. He also noted that this year, Chinese online retailer Temu did the same.

“Imagine walking into your local grocery store and seeing empty shelves where bread, cereal, and even pet food used to be,” Jason Pack, a former FBI supervisory special agent, told Fox News Digital. “Prices spike. Supply chains slow down. All because a foreign actor deliberately targeted the crops that keep America fed. That may sound far-fetched, but it’s exactly the kind of scenario that becomes possible when someone brings a dangerous agricultural pathogen into the United States.

“It doesn’t take a bomb to disrupt an economy. It takes a biological agent like Fusarium graminearum introduced into the wrong place at the wrong time. Food prices rise. Livestock suffer. Exports stop. The economic ripple effects are enormous.”
