1. -In late August 2020, the Chinese government had produced a large amount of fraudulent United States driver's licenses  that were secretly exported to the United States (NFI). The fraudulent driver's licenses would allow tens of thousands of Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party to vote for US Presidential Candidate USPER Joe ((Biden)), despite
