(CNSNews.com) – Republican lawmakers called on the Biden administration Thursday to respond forcefully to China’s imposition of substantive sanctions on senior national security officials in the previous administration.
They view Beijing’s actions as more than a parting slap at former officials critical of the Chinese Communist Party, but also as an attempt to intimidate the new administration into adopting a softer line.
U.S. State Department’s Assistant Secretary David Stilwell recently warned the public:
“Influence and interference operations are fundamental to how the Chinese Communist Party engages with the world.” Through two leaked documents, the rest of the world recently discovered more about how aggressive and extensive the CCP’s influence and interference operations are: a database of CCP members and a secret agreement between Switzerland and Chinese police.
The CCP Member Database
One of the largest newspapers in Australia, The Australian, reported last weekend it obtained a leaked database of nearly two million CCP members, including their national ID number, birth date, and party position. Additionally, the database contains information on almost 80,000 party branches, showing these CCP members are currently working inside international corporations, universities, and even government agencies around the world.
