Seems like China is inserting itself deep into the political swamp in D.C. From The Washington Free Beacon:
Chinese Communist Party Funds Washington Think Tanks
China's Communist Party is intensifying covert influence operations in the United States that include funding Washington think tanks and coercing Chinese Americans, according to a congressional commission report.
The influence operations are conducted by the United Front Work Department, a Central Committee organ that employs tens of thousands of operatives who seek to use both overt and covert operations to promote Communist Party policies.
The Party's United Front strategy includes paying several Washington think tanks with the goal influencing their actions and adopting positions that support Beijing's policies.
Nothing overtly illegal but these think tanks are following the money instead of following what is right for America. They are being bought and paid for by a nation whose interests counter ours own.
