The Times unraveled a financial network that stretches from Chicago to Shanghai and uses American nonprofits to push Chinese talking points worldwide.

(Gifted article, no paywall)

Please suppress any tendency to jump to one conclusion or another, this stuff is getting very complicated because the people involved want it that way.

Tankies and dirty money… American lefties, shifting alliances and – surprise! – conservative money – essentially marketing/promoting China/CCP interests.

Chinese people fine, Chinese government dubious at best, and horrible at worst, like ethnic “work” camps for Uigur people and others.

One must be very careful these days …

    All of these people outside of China trying to increase China’s influence and working against China’s enemies while living comfortably safe in the Western world should be shipped back to the China they seem to love so much.

    It’s like the Ruzzian ex-pats who work for Ruzzia, protest against what they perceive as “anti-Russian” and start shit with Ukrainians and their supporters globally, those Ruzzians too Should be sent back to Ruzzia.

    Don’t go touting your nationalism while acting like a foreign agent while living in another country, if you’re truly a patriot then go home. Stop causing problems for other people by telling people how great your country is, while not living there. Stop taking action against your country’s “enemies” while in foreign lands.

    If you want the new country you’ve become a part of to become just like the shit hole country you left, do us all a favor and just turn your ass around and go home.

        First learn your fucking terms, the statement absolutely isn’t racist since I spoke about the various other cultures and nationalities doing this same shit, my statement was mildly xenophobic, not racist, learn your fucking terms because words have meaning.

        Secondly it’s not racist to deport people who have broken laws and deserve to be deported. These Chinese Nationalists are setting up their very own police stations in every major city outside of China, and these “police stations” go after enemies of the CCP, as well as any other people that offend the Chinese Communist party and their sensitive selves. These are foreign agents setting up shop and harassing people that left China for their own reasons, and China is not the only one doing this, Ruzzia uses their Mafia and intelligence agencies to do similar, same with Turkey, and far too many others.

        My point stands, if you can’t behave and follow laws in your new country then leave, if you aren’t loyal to your new nation then leave, and if you’re oppressing people in your new country for your old country then you should be forcibly deported, and that goes for every race, nationality, and religion.

        Your ignorance and protection of these types of people is far more racist than the mildly xenophobic tones of my statement.

        How is this racist? Your post makes no sense.

        Pointing out what is likely to happen is by endorsement. And the US definitely has done its share of meddling in other countries.

        All of it sucks. Citizens United HSS done real harm to the US.

    Yes. I read the article. No, there is nothing illegal about what they are doing. Kinda sucks when the foot is on the other shoe, eh, America. The free market has decided this is okay. With Citizens United and PACs this was always going to happen.
