The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is employing increasingly sophisticated tactics to infiltrate and manipulate America’s democratic institutions in an effort to silence dissidents. These tactics now include exploiting the U.S. legal system and influencing American media, according to leaked information.
The Epoch Times hosted a forum on June 6 at the U.S. Capitol on the Chinese regime’s escalated tactics to target dissidents in America.
Renowned dissident and legal scholar Yuan Hongbing shared intelligence that he obtained from high-level CCP whistleblowers, revealing the CCP’s escalation of its transnational repression of Falun Gong practitioners and related entities.
Other experts and human rights activists explained the broader realities and implications of the communist regime’s attacks on Americans on U.S. soil.
