**Investigate China's Influence Campaigns Now!**
The recent uptick in Chinese aggression on American soil has raised alarming concerns about the extent of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) influence operations in the United States.
A coalition of two advocacy groups is calling for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to thoroughly investigate these United Front organizations that are allegedly instigating violence and intimidation against American citizens.
This demand comes on the heels of disturbing incidents during a visit by Chinese leader Xi Jinping to San Francisco.
Reports indicate that groups backing the CCP engaged in violent confrontations with peaceful pro-democracy protesters.
Using advanced facial recognition technology, the Hong Kong Democracy Council and Students for a Free Tibet identified several leaders of these CCP-aligned organizations as being directly involved in physical assaults.
During Xi’s November 2023 visit for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, 34 documented incidents of harassment, intimidation, and assault disrupted peaceful demonstrations aimed at highlighting Beijing's human rights abuses.
Rep. John Moolenaar, a Republican from Michigan and chair of the House Select Committee on the CCP, condemned these actions as “an outrageous violation of American sovereignty.”
He emphasized that unlike our founding principles, which uphold freedom of speech and peaceful assembly, such thuggery represents a troubling encroachment of totalitarian ideologies into American life.
This incident reflects a broader trend of the CCP leveraging its network of United Front organizations to exert influence over Chinese diaspora communities.
The report calls for immediate action, urging the DOJ to explore whether these groups are acting as unregistered foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The troubling reality is that these organizations are not just passive supporters of the CCP—they are actively engaged in violent repression tactics against those who advocate for human rights and freedom.
One identified aggressor, Li Huahong, allegedly attacked a peaceful protester during the demonstrations, showcasing the lengths to which these pro-CCP supporters will go to silence dissent.
Moreover, the local law enforcement response was criticized as inadequate, raising concerns over their preparedness to handle such transnational repression tactics.
As calls for a thorough investigation grow louder, it is imperative for the DOJ and local authorities to recognize the seriousness of this situation.
Failure to act could embolden the CCP, sending a message that it can operate unchecked in the United States.
We must ensure that our values of freedom and democracy are defended against any forces looking to undermine them from within.
The American people deserve to feel safe and protected in their pursuit of free expression, and it is incumbent upon our government to uphold and enforce these rights against foreign threats.
Now more than ever, vigilance and action against foreign influence are critical to safeguarding our democratic ideals.
