In the past few months, a string of high-profile arrests, deportations, and leaked reports have painted a disturbing picture of China’s growing influence inside the United States.
From secret police stations in Manhattan to CCP-linked efforts funding political riots and even smuggling dangerous fungi through university labs that could attack America’s agricultural industry – the attacks from China on America have not stopped.
All of these incidents have raised national security concerns, particularly as Dallas-based ICE officials helped lead an effort to remove 122 illegal immigrants back to China earlier this month: many of them convicted of violent and serious crimes, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.
On June 3, ICE chartered a special flight to China carrying 96 men and 26 women, all with immediate orders of deportation. According to ICE Dallas, the deportees included illegal aliens from China convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape, human smuggling, and bribery.
As previously covered by DX, recent investigations suggest that radical riots tied to pro-illegal immigration and pro-Palestinian causes have been quietly bankrolled through a network of nonprofits and shell entities with links to the Chinese Communist Party.
At the center of the alleged influence operation is Neville Singham, a software mogul and known Marxist now residing in Shanghai. Singham has been accused of funneling money through a web of nonprofits to fund protests coordinated by far-left groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Code Pink, and The People’s Forum.
These groups were active during the recent Los Angeles riots, which resulted in violent riots and damage to federal property, as well as the eventual mobilization of over 2,000 National Guard troops from President Donald Trump.
Since then, DHS has allegedly revoked grant funding from organizations like CHIRLA, which helped organize the initial rallies and had previously received over $30 million in federal support under the Biden administration.
Singham’s wife, Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, has also come under fire for her group’s alleged ties to the CCP. Some members of Congress have called for a Capitol Hill ban on Code Pink activists, citing potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Additionally, a Network Contagion Research Institute report found that these “activist networks” have staged coordinated and violent disruptions since late 2023, including airport blockades, university takeovers, and interruptions at various political events.
In another report from The Dallas Express connected to the CCP’s attacks against America, federal agents arrested two Chinese nationals for smuggling a dangerous fungus, fusarium graminearum, into the United States.
Yunqing Jian and Zunyong Liu allegedly brought the agroterrorism-classified pathogen through Detroit and used a University of Michigan lab to “work on it.” Both are reportedly linked to research institutions in China and acted without authorization.
Looking back:
An often overlooked and one of the most alarming revelations about the CCP’s control in America came out of New York last year, where 60-year-old Chen Jinping pleaded guilty in December to operating an illegal overseas police station on behalf of the Chinese government, according to the DOJ.
Yes, a Chinese national pleaded guilty last year to operating an illegal Chinese police station in the heart of New York City.
According to the Department of Justice, Chen conspired with another man to set up a full-floor office in Manhattan’s Chinatown, acting as a clandestine outpost for China’s Ministry of Public Security. The “police station” was part of a repression scheme targeting Chinese dissidents on American soil.
FBI agents uncovered evidence that the defendants attempted to destroy communication evidence with MPS officials after learning about the investigation. This act led to obstruction of justice charges for one of the Chinese suspects.
“This is a clear affront to American sovereignty,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen. “The Department of Justice will continue to pursue anyone who attempts to aid the PRC’s efforts to extend their repressive reach into the United States.”
The station was shut down in 2022, but the implications of Chinese power on America remain: foreign regimes are no longer limiting their influence to cyberspace or propaganda campaigns.
The takeaway:
The CCP is embedding agents and laundering money through nonprofit organizations to support riots, aiming to shape American politics and culture through violent means.
