Slightly more seriously: this is of course already well known, but it's interesting the NZSIS is stating it so baldly in a public document + naming the PRC

A 2022 puff piece on Linda Sun on her alma mater's website. Nothing irritates me more than CCP agents claiming to represent the Chinese diaspora/Asian Americans. Weaponizing the Chinese diaspora and anti-Asian racism to its advantage is classic CCP tactic. barnard.edu/magazine/sprin…

Glad to see these stories on #China govt threats to #humanrights in democracies where they belong—front page, above fold. But it wasn’t long ago that ⁦The New York Times⁩ & ⁦The Washington Post⁩ carried paid #China state media ads—one of many ways #XiJinping regime emboldened.

We are simultaneously asking Japan to strike a deal with us on semiconductor export controls to address the China tech threat while the Biden administration concludes that it’s an unmitigatable natsec issue for a Japanese company to invest in America. 🤷‍♂️

The indictment of Linda Sun, a former NY state gov't employee contains just the pertinent facts necessary to get to the charges of acting as an unregistered agent of the PRC. But I can't help but think more may come out. 1/n

I think at Tony Stark post here is quite good: breakingbeijing.com/p/all-espionag… An important point is that these issues have be dealt with in the open, using public information where possible. Classification outside of natsec federal gov't is a killer of awareness and action. 5/n

The hell of Beijing's diaspora policies is they put multiethnic democracies in an impossible position: they require robust state responses to protect their citizens. However: large law enforcement actions almost inevitably sweep up innocent people.

Always gives me a chuckle at the significance Chinese officials place on having a guy like Neil Bush say nice things about China. [in case you, like 99% of Americans, didn't know, he is George W and Jeb's younger brother]

This month, a former aide to the NY Gov. office was charged with acting as an unregistered agent for China. "This is just part of a larger pattern of Beijing’s efforts to leverage the Chinese diaspora for foreign influence," writes AEI's Audrye Wong. time.com/7025773/china-…

“Even as China touts deepening trade and investment ties as part of a win-win narrative, it also uses coercive economic tactics to punish or pressure govt's and co's perceived to be attacking its policies or undermining national sovereignty” Audrye Wong open.substack.com/pub/dexter/p/t…

China has attempted to exploit societal fractures and political grievances in Chinese diaspora communities. Audrye Wong and Francis De Beixedon argue that policymakers must proactively mend these grievances to push back against China's interference. ⬇️ foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/06/chi…

Recently, Elon Musk has taken steps to extend his political influence beyond the US to intervene in European politics. Moderated by Jesse Eisinger, tomginsburg, Barry Lynn, Guy Rolnik, and Audrye Wong discuss how economic power is used to project political influence across borders.
