I can’t believe what I just read! And our institution, USPS just rolls over. That’s on us. Nobody seems to want to do due diligence these days. This stinks on multiple levels. Thanks for your reporting and I’m gonna do all the little guy can do, holler at my representatives. It’s probably minor compared to much larger scams, but this looks like an easy fix.
Wow River. Another one smacked out of the park. This is an amazing story that should be getting much more attention. If the American taxpayer was not aware of the gross antipathy towards us by our government, this really tells the story. Deeper than the theft by the Chinese is the sickening lack of concern by our government for the fact that the bureaucracy just sees us all as a blank check and treats us as such. Our bank accounts are not really ours, therefore the waste and fraud spirals into the hundreds of billions; probably trillions. The founding fathers fought a war against the greatest empire in the world over a 3% tax on tea; Americans now work seven months just to pay their tax bill. Not a socialist country? Ha. How far we have fallen.
This is an incredible piece of journalism. Well researched, informative, brings to light and issue I had literally never heard of, focuses on an important issue that is not the sexy topic du jour (doesn't follow the media lemmings), and offers clear, practical, common sense solutions. Well done! I hope this piece gets the attention it deserves.
I think I discovered one of the issues. There is no way an organization called “US PISs” could possibly be effective at enforcing these rules. They’re too busy taking the “kick me” signs off their backs.
Thank you River Page. Please add to your list of Chinese abuse of America: Confucius Institutes on College Campuses. This is infuriating. Anyone who understands what China seeks on the global stage, can see that this is backed by the CCP - as just another tool to undermine the United States. Economic espionage. Simple as that. Sentiment on the ground is changing in the US. People are becoming more aware of this global challenge. So to is our government. But there is much more to do.
China’s U.S. Stamp Tax, Scammers Take America

Good reporting - wasn’t aware of this issue

My wife was just asking me about the credibility of an email she got for discounted postage stamps. I told her is was probably fake. You confirm it.

Boom...solved it
