Chinese Subversion of the United
States Is Deep and Far Reaching
BY , THE EPOCH TIMES
News Analysis
For decades, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been subverting the
United States by infiltrating, undermining, and influencing its key
institutions.
This topic is only recently coming to the surface. Vice President Mike
Pence said on Oct. 4, “Beijing is employing a whole-of-government approach to
advance its influence and benefit its interests.”
He added that the CCP is working to influence U.S. elections and
domestic policies, and “today, the Chinese Communist Party is rewarding or
coercing American businesses, movie studios, universities, think tanks,
scholars, journalists, and local, state, and federal officials.”
Pence does a great job giving an overview of the problem, and his talk
is well worth watching if you haven’t seen it. But if we take a look at some
examples of the problem, it becomes much more real.
Censorship and Theft in US Business
With the subversion of businesses, the CCP is forcing U.S. companies to
abide by its domestic censorship programs.
On April 25, the CCP’s Chinese Civil Aviation Administration sent a letter to
36 foreign air carriers demanding they change the descriptions of “Taiwan,”
“Hong Kong,” and “Macao” to follow CCP propaganda. The White House responded to
this demand on May 5, with the press secretary saying, “This is Orwellian
nonsense, and part of a growing trend by the Chinese Communist Party to impose
its political views on American citizens and private companies.”
Many companies also agree to follow CCP censorship.
Google and Facebook are examples of this, since even though they’re blocked in
China, they have both agreed at times to take down content for the CCP.
There has also been plenty of chatter about Chinese economic theft. But
did you know that some U.S. companies are forced to knowingly hand over
intellectual property to access the Chinese market?
A 2017 U.S. government survey of the integrated chip industry found that
25 companies were forced to form
joint ventures with Chinese companies, and transfer their technology. The
United States has lost close to
$1.2 trillion from intellectual-property theft, mainly from the CCP, over the
last three years, according to The Hill. That number doesn’t even include
patent infringement.
The CCP has even gone to the source with
this type of theft, and according to former senior U.S. Naval intelligence
officer John Jordan, China’s Ministry of State Security has agents in Silicon
Valley assigned for this purpose.
There is also spying on customers, and this goes to the chip level of
devices. Bloomberg recently claimed the CCP was spying at the chip level on
Amazon and Apple devices. Examples of the CCP spying by through supply-chain threats goes
back much farther, however, and includes chips, firmware, infected apps,
data-sharing programs, and other vulnerabilities.
The Epoch Times has reported on this since at
least 2010.
least 2010.
Subversion of Films and Entertainment
As part of its focus on “culture warfare,” the CCP has also subverted
Hollywood and the U.S. entertainment industry.
The U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission reported in
October 2015 that “China views film as a component of social control,” and that
when regulating film, “the CCP’s concerns are positioned above all other
interests.”
Films are screened by the CCP’s State Administration of Press,
Publication, Radio, Film, and Television, which decides whether they can be
shown in China, and filmmakers are actively catering to the administration’s
policies.
Some filmmakers are agreeing to co-produce films with the
administration, which gives them a stronger chance of entering China, but also
ensures the films fall under the CCP’s laws on films and censorship.
CCP laws on films include requirements, among many, that they need to
have at least one scene shot in China, cast at least one Chinese actor, and
illustrate “positive Chinese elements.”
Anything that shows the CCP’s human-rights abuses, poverty, totalitarian
social monitoring, or other serious issues aren’t allowed to be shown. Under
CCP censorship law, Hollywood also can’t show the United States or U.S.
military in a positive light.
This is serious when you consider how much of the
U.S. film industry either is directly owned by Chinese companies, such as
through the Dalian Wanda Group, or has agreed to work with the CCP.
Influence of US Universities and Education
Through financing, research partnerships, and other joint programs, the
CCP has also managed to subvert American universities.
Foreign Policy reported in
May, “On campuses across the United States, funding gaps are leaving
departments with little choice but to turn to those groups with the deepest
pockets—and China is keen to offer money, especially through its global network
of Confucius Institutes.”
This money comes with a price, however, since the CCP takes its Faustian
bargain as an opening for censorship and influence.
Foreign Policy, for instance, noted that the co-director of Savannah
State University’s Confucius Institute has directly engaged in censoring
information on Taiwan.
Then there are the Chinese Student and Scholar Associations (CSSA),
which are often openly financed and directed by Chinese consulates. The CSSA
pressure Chinese students and block events in American universities, based on
CCP censorship programs.
In one case at the
University of California–San Diego in 2017, the local CSSA tried to block the
Dalai Lama from speaking at commencement.
The Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars released a report documenting
cases of Chinese embassy officials trying to infringe on U.S. academic
freedoms.
It states, “Over the past two decades, PRC diplomats stationed in the
United States have infringed on the academic freedom of American university
faculty, students, administrators, and staff.”
The CCP has done this by “complaining to universities about invited
speakers and events; pressuring and/or offering inducements to faculty whose
work involves content deemed sensitive by the PRC authorities” and other
methods, the report says.
Subverting Academia and Policy
At think tanks, which have a role in shaping government policy, the CCP
has made significant efforts to push its interests either through funding,
through partnerships, or by influencing the academics involved.
Bill Gertz at The Washington Free Beacon reported on Aug. 24 that one of
the CCP’s main overt spy agencies, the United Front Department, is actively
involved in operations to influence think tanks in Washington.
He cites a congressional commission report, stating the CCP
“employs tens of thousands of operatives” to promote its policies, and includes
“paying several Washington think tanks, with the goal of influencing their
actions and adopting positions that support Beijing’s policies.”
The report says the CCP “has sought to influence academic discourse on
China and, in certain instances, has infringed upon—and potentially criminally
violated—rights to freedoms of speech and association that are guaranteed to
Americans and those protected by U.S. laws.”
As an example, Gertz notes that Johns Hopkins School of Advanced
International Studies receives funding from Tung Chee-hwa, a vice chairman of
the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which directs the
United Front Department.
“The funding for Johns Hopkins came from Tung’s non-profit group in Hong
Kong, the China–U.S. Exchange Foundation, which is a registered Chinese agent,”
he writes.
Gertz notes China ties exist with Brookings Institution, Atlantic
Council, Center for American Progress, EastWest Institute, Carter Center, and
the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
When it comes to the academics themselves, the CCP actively pressures
them to self-censor. Academics who break CCP censorship policy, including on
the regime’s serious human-rights violations, risk being blacklisted from
China.
Major news outlets are even actively promoting CCP propaganda, disguised
as paid inserts meant to resemble legitimate news content from the CCP’s China
Daily state-run news outlet.
The paid inserts have in the past defended the
CCP’s often brutal human-rights violations and excused its crackdowns on
religious liberty. Sometimes, the paid inserts correspond with broader pushes.
This has included paid inserts in The New York Times and other outlets, alongside
paid broadcasts from CCP state-run media in Times Square to defend the
CCP’s military push into the South China Sea.
Part of this was run through Xinhua news agency, which the Trump
administration in September ordered to register as a foreign agent. Let that
sink in: Foreign agents interested in shaping U.S. public opinion are paying
major news outlets to republish propaganda.
This doesn’t just tie to CCP government policy. It also ties to its
military doctrine, under its “Three Warfares” system of psychological warfare,
legal warfare, and media warfare.
The goal of Three Warfares is to alter how people interpret information,
create legal blockades to defend CCP actions, and control people’s exposure to
information through its influence on media.
“The ‘Three Warfares’ were injected into a section of guidelines that
has been consistent since at least the 1963 revision, which directs the
Political Work Department,” according to the website War on the Rocks.
The Diplomat reported that
under the Three Warfares doctrine, the CCP creates “cognitive maps” that then
“guide the direction and character of tailored influence operations, including
conversion, exploitation, or subversion.”
In conjunction, the CCP’s propaganda department “broadcasts sustained
internal and external strategic perception management campaigns through mass
media and cyberspace channels to promote specific themes favorable for China’s
image abroad.”
Foreign Agents and Political Control
In addition to all these systems to control information, silence
academics, influence policy, censor news outlets, and pressure students, the
CCP also has programs to more directly influence U.S. political circles.
Among the groups behind the CCP’s subversion of elite circles is the
Committee of 100. Epoch Times columnist Trevor Loudon said the group
“regularly sends delegations of American journalists to China and facilitates
meetings with high-level government and business leaders.”
Chinese consulates also engage in direct pressure on U.S. politicians,
and The Epoch Times has documented cases in
which U.S. representatives have received calls from the CCP, which attempts to
pressure them over their stances on the Chinese regime’s human-rights abuses.
Cognoscenti Group reported that
“Chinese political warfare and influence operations actively target foreign
governments, organizations, groups, and individuals to shape their perceptions
and behavior.”
“Driven by its political goals, Chinese influence operations are a
centerpiece of the PRC’s overall foreign policy and military strategy,” it states.
The Washington Free Beacon reported, “China has
enfolded many former U.S. officials as part of its lobbying efforts and
influence operations. Gertz said China has used coercive measures on Americans
to serve its own interests.”
Gertz said in the story that the CCP’s efforts “have literally changed
the direction of American foreign policy toward China.”
The Project 2049 Institute detailed the CCP’s political-warfare
operations in an October 2013 report,
stating, “Political warfare is a critical component of Chinese security
strategy and foreign policy.”
On the significance of this, it states, “Political warfare seeks to
influence emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and behavior of foreign
governments, organizations, groups, and individuals in a manner favorable to
one’s own political-military objectives.”

“The drug epidemic is the product of capitalism and the

Taiwan Interior Minister Says 70 Percent of Illicit Drugs Come From
China

Taiwanese independent politician Chao Cheng-yu raised the question at the Oct. 17 meeting
of the Legislative Yuan: “The government has been seizing more and more drugs,
but where do they come from?”
The answer, for the most part, is China,
according to Interior Minister Hsu Kuo-yung.
The Internal Affairs Committee of the Republic of China
Legislative Yuan invited Hsu; Director General of National Police Agency Chen
Ja-chin; as well as officials from the ministries of justice, health and
welfare, and education for a discussion of the government’s anti-drug efforts.
The Republic of China (ROC) is the official name for Taiwan.
Chao said that last month, police in Thailand seized 355 kilograms
(about 783 pounds) of amphetamines in operations that involved Taiwanese
smugglers. On Oct. 16, Taiwanese gangs were caught helping smuggle 90 kilos of
methamphetamine to South Korea. It was at this point that Chao then asked his
question.
According to Hsu, 70 percent
of illicit drugs came from China, necessitating further investigation and a
zero-tolerance policy. A significant amount of the rest is produced in
Southeast Asia, while very little is produced in Taiwan itself, he said.
As of the end of June, 2,757.2 kilograms out of 3,601.9 kilograms
of drugs—about 77 percent—confiscated in Taiwan were from mainland China and
Hong Kong. Hsu stressed that the drugs confiscated by Thai police last month
weren’t Taiwanese in origin, but were from Thailand, and had been discovered
with cooperation from ROC authorities.
Officials said the 355 kilograms of Thai amphetamines were seized Sept. 26 in a rental house
in Pattaya in Thailand; the suspect in charge of delivering the drugs, a man
surnamed Jiang, is a Taiwanese. The drugs, which originated in the Golden
Triangle of Myanmar, were hidden in Chinese tea bags labeled “Guanyin King” for
transport in bundles to the rental property.
The 90-kg methamphetamine seizure by South Korean authorities was
the largest single amount of the drug confiscated in that country, with a street
value estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency. Three
Taiwanese were arrestedin connection to the seizure. South Korean
police believe the Taiwan Bamboo Union Gang and the Japanese Inagawa-kai crime
syndicate were involved.
Mainland China is one of the world’s biggest producers of drugs,
including the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl, targeted by the U.S.
Senate in recent regulations.
According to the Associated Press, “five of the six online
fentanyl vendors investigated in a new Senate report are based in China. The
sellers sent hundreds of packages to more than 300 sources in the U.S. by way
of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).”
Fentanyl, a drug that’s 30 times stronger than heroin, claimed the
livesof more than
20,000 Americans
last year, and has been implicated in the deaths of celebrities, including Prince and Tom Petty.
U.S. President Donald Trump issued a statement on Twitter, saying that fentanyl “comes pouring into the
U.S. Postal System from China. We can, and must, END THIS NOW! The Senate
should pass the STOP ACT – and firmly STOP this poison from killing our
children and destroying our country. No more delay!”
In Taiwan, Chao called upon the ROC government to take effective
measures against drug smuggling and the gangs that facilitate it.
