The threat extends beyond digital systems to physical and ideological infiltration. Some Chinese land acquisitions near U.S. military installations raise alarms about potential espionage or sabotage operations. Embedded within the fabric of local communities are individuals who could be tasked with intelligence gathering or malicious acts, patiently waiting for the right moment to act.
A comparison is made with Israeli operations near Iran, where factories were clandestinely built inside Iran to produce drones used in strikes. Applying that logic, the fear is that similar covert manufacturing or installation might be happening near U.S. military bases, concealed within infrastructure or land owned by Chinese entities.
