Reports indicate that the Biden-Harris administration has allowed China to target and silence anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) activists before and during Chinese President Xi Jinping's San Francisco visit last year.
Although the Department of Justice carried out a crackdown on illegal CCP-operated "police stations" in New York and San Francisco, more covert but well-managed attempts by the communist nation to repress the rights of anti-CCP activists in America have mostly continued unrestricted.
Based on recent news analysis, Chinese diplomats collaborated with different Chinese-American and Chinese national-led interest and community groups to attack and quell anti-CCP activists before Xi's 2023 visit during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in San Francisco.
The effort headed by people with links to the United Front Work Department – an internal CCP group entrusted with organizing foreign Chinese influence operations – led to brutal attacks on political dissidents and pro-Uyghur and pro-Tibet activists in the days ahead of and during Xi's visit to America.

Chinese operatives infiltrating offices of U.S. politicians
These influence operations even involved Chinese operatives infiltrating offices of politicians in the United States.
On Tuesday, Sept. 3, a former aide to New York Governors Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul was arrested and charged with working as an unregistered foreign agent of the Chinese government.
The unsealed federal indictment said Linda Sun edited official statements to be more amicable to the CCP – among other actions – in return for millions of dollars in payments. The case concerning Sun is indicative of China's tactics, as stated by Dennis Wilder, a former senior Central Intelligence Agency official who zeroed in on China at the agency.
"This is a classic Ministry of State Security operation. You go after naturalized American citizens with large connections to China. They speak Chinese. They have family back in China. They want business opportunities in China," Wilder said regarding China's main intelligence agency.
Sun is just the latest in the growing list of people living in New York to be charged with being a secret Chinese agent.
Last month, Yuanjun Tang, who gained American citizenship after being given political asylum, was accused of spying on Chinese pro-democracy activists and dissidents.
The 67-year-old Tang allegedly helped Chinese authorities infiltrate a group chat on an encrypted messaging application employed by several Chinese dissidents, as reported by federal prosecutors.
Earlier in August, Shujun Wang, a Chinese-American scholar who helped establish a pro-democracy group in New York, was convicted of using his reputation to collect information on dissidents and sharing it with the Chinese government.
Last year, Chinese nationals Lu Jianwang, 61, and Chen Jinping, 59, were arrested on charges of running an illegal police station in New York to "monitor and intimidate" Chinese government critics according to the Justice Department.
The Chinese government has many times denied the accusations laid by federal prosecutors.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Wednesday, Sept. 4, refused to comment on the charges against Sun. "I won't comment on domestic cases of the United States. However, we oppose any malicious attempts to implicate, smear, or slander China," Mao said at a briefing in Beijing.
