- The president of the America Changle Association who runs a secret Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked police station, financially supported Mayor Eric Adams’ election efforts and also works directly with known Chinese government influence operations, the Daily Caller News Foundation determined.
- America Changle’s leaders include an individual identified by the Chinese government as both a “propagandist” and “special liaison officer,” as well as individuals who take direct orders from a CCP propaganda and intelligence agency known as the United Front Work Department, the DCNF found.
- “Under no circumstances would China tolerate a foreign law enforcement entity to operate inside China but outside normal channels, and neither should we do so here,” Steve Yates, Chair of the China Policy Initiative, told the DCNF.
