American People Need to Actively Push Back Against CCP Threats: Gordon Chang

Contact Your Elected Officials

The Chinese Communist Party is working to subvert the United States and the American people should step up to fight back against such threats, according to China analyst and author Gordon Chang.

โ€œChina exploits every point of contact with us to overthrow our government. Theyโ€™re overwhelming us: law enforcement is overwhelmed, academia is overwhelmed, everyone is overwhelmed,โ€ Chang said at an event hosted by the New York Young Republican Club on March 15.

To advance its interests, the Chinese regime has courted political elites and other U.S. business entities in the United States, Chang said

The expert pointed to the well-publicized case concerning a suspected Chinese spy who had links to Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif), when he was still a local city council member.

In December 2020, an Axios report revealed that the alleged Chinese spy, Christine Fang, had built up an extensive network of contacts with up-and-coming politicians in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Swalwell. Swalwell reportedly cut ties with her after FBI investigators gave him a โ€œdefensive briefing.โ€ Yet, given his position as a member of the House Intelligence Committee, a number of House Republicans still raised serious concerns over the risk of the leak of classified intelligence to the CCP.

Chang stressed that the American people are in a good position to repel threats from Beijing.

He took the probe into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic as an example. In May 2020 the Biden State Department quietly ended an inquiry launched by then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to investigate whether the virus had stemmed from a leak out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

According to the expert, the decision sparked โ€œan immediate outrage just across the United Statesโ€.

Consequently, Chang said, โ€œby the afternoon, Biden had to charge the intelligence community with this investigation of the origins to come back in 90 days.โ€

Even though the probe ultimately did not reach a conclusive finding, Chang insisted that American individuals should take more action to push back against harms from China.
