Communist China is Trying to Elect its Own Candidates in America

“I don’t know how we can stop it.”

The leaked RCMP intelligence report showed that Communist China was building its own political machines in Canada. There’s ample evidence that it’s not only influencing American elected officials, but also trying to build its own political machines in New York and California.

Queens state Assemblyman Ron Kim says groups tied to the Chinese Community Party tried to topple him and steal his predominantly Asian-populated seat in the June Democratic primary.

“There were clear patterns of foreign influence trying to dictate the outcome of the election — groups with ties to mainland China and the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. They were trying to steal the Flushing seat,” Kim told The Post.

Kim’s Dem opponent in the 40th District’s primary race, upstart Yi Andy Chen, was endorsed by the American Chinese Commerce Association. The association is a group identified as linked to the CCP and John Chan, a Chinese-American activist and chairman of the group with reportedly close ties to the People’s Republic of China and its Consulate General office in New York.

Kim, who was first elected in 2012, won his tough primary battle by 443 votes.\

“It’s a very layered operation. We’re entering dangerous territory. I don’t know how we can stop it,” he said.

We can, for starters, rethink immigration by people coming from enemy nations who are not moving here for freedom, but who are quite happy with their government and its political system, but are here simply because it’s lucrative, but whose allegiance is strictly to their home country and not to America.

There are lots of things we can do to limit CCP influence in America, but none of them will be enough as long as tens of thousands of potential agents are coming here every year.
