• Utah elementary schools and lawmakers have reportedly fostered close ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in recent years, an investigation from the Associated Press found.
• After conducting dozens of interviews and reviewing records, the AP concluded that the CCP has allegedly worked through multiple individuals to target Utah’s school system from grade school to graduate school and also influence decisions made by Utah lawmakers.
• The CCP’s efforts have had far-reaching effects, ranging from Utah school children being used to promote Chinese state-run propaganda, all the way to lawmakers delaying the implementation of a ban to close CCP propaganda centers in Utah universities, the AP found.
