The video also highlights pushback against these activities, including protests, legal actions, and growing awareness among US politicians and the public.
- CCP paying individuals to stage pro-CCP demonstrations in the US and Australia.
- CCP infiltrating US organisations and using propaganda to brainwash overseas Chinese.
- Intimidation and attacks against anti-CCP activists.
- US politicians and public figures are starting to recognise and counter the CCP's influence.
Pro-CCP Demonstrations and Protests at the UN
During Chinese Premier Lee Tang's speech at the United Nations in New York, a large protest occurred, embarrassing the Chinese government. Pro-CCP groups hired individuals to wave Chinese flags, directed by figures like Chen Shan Jang. The Epoch Times filmed these individuals receiving cash payments near the UN. Simultaneously, pro-democracy activists protested against the CCP, denouncing the flag display and highlighting the fraudulent asylum claims of some flag bearers. A sculpture depicting the "CCP virus" was paraded through New York, and activists demanded accountability and reparations from the CCP.
CCP Funding and Activities in the US
Instances of CCP supporter groups being paid to participate in pro-CCP activities in the US have been increasing. CIA intelligence revealed that 600 US organisations receive significant funding from the CCP to promote communism and lobby for Beijing's interests. Pro-CCP groups disguise their propaganda as cultural or religious events, such as parades where they wave the CCP flag and insult the United States. Participants receive subsidies for their involvement, sparking protests from local Chinese residents.
Exploitation and Disillusionment of Pro-CCP Supporters
The CCP's diminishing economy has led to reduced payments for pro-CCP supporters. The Chinese consulate has been known to lure people to support the CCP and then refuse to pay them. In Australia, welcomers hired by the Chinese embassy to greet Premier Lee Chang were left unpaid and frustrated, seeking refuge on a protesters' bus. This exploitation highlights the transactional nature of the CCP's support and the disillusionment of those who are used for propaganda purposes.
CCP Influence and Resistance in Pakistan
Even in Pakistan, a close ally of the CCP, tensions are emerging. A video showed Chinese workers clashing with Pakistani police while waving the Chinese flag. The police confiscated the flag, causing the workers to lose their assertiveness. This incident reflects a growing resentment towards the CCP, even in countries that have long been supported by the regime, as the CCP is seen to bring poverty and oppression, benefiting only a small elite.
CCP Propaganda and Surveillance Tactics
The CCP uses various methods to spread propaganda and monitor overseas Chinese communities. They provide subsidised phone cards and TV boxes that offer pro-CCP channels and potentially conduct surveillance. New organisations are emerging, funded from unknown sources, to promote the idea of reforming the Chinese government rather than overthrowing it. Prominent dissidents face intimidation, including threatening emails, surveillance, and attacks on their homes.
Intimidation and Defamation of Anti-CCP Activists
The CCP uses hometown associations to pressure Chinese business owners into not hiring anti-CCP activists. They also employ tactics such as defamation, framing, and forgery to discredit activists. Pro-CCP individuals take photos and send them to US law enforcement to smear activists, falsely accusing them of connections with China and dangerous activities. Ji Lee Jen, chairman of the Chinese Democratic Party International alliance, survived a near-fatal car incident where his tires were deliberately damaged, following an online post offering a reward for injuring him.
Legal Actions and Political Pushback Against CCP Influence
The US is taking action against CCP infiltration. The indictment against former New York Deputy Chief of Staff Shun Wen and her husband, suspected of being CCP agents, has progressed, with the prosecution adding a third indictment. Their assets have been frozen, and they face charges of telecommunication fraud, bribery, and conspiracy. Congressman John Molinar urged the mayor of Philadelphia to cancel a ceremony to raise the CCP flag, calling it an insult to American values and warning against engaging with CCP United Front organisations.
