Sister Cities Promote Cultural Exchange And Friendship, Not Espionage -And Response (3) Friday, December 11, 2020 Dear Senator Blackburn, Recently the Chattanooga Times Free Press quoted you as saying that sister cities relationships between US and Chinese cities “may be Beijing’s newest political weapon” and that “across the globe China has exploited these relationships, which are ostensibly intended to promote cultural exchange, to achieve geostrategic goals.” You further asserted that it is “imperative that we shed light on these partnerships to determine whether they leave American communities vulnerable to foreign espionage and ideological coercion.”    My initial reaction upon reading that was WHAT?  Whence, Senator Blackburn, did you glean your (mis)information and your ideas?  I maintain that your assertions are as (in)substantial as Trump’s claims of election fraud, in other words, baseless.
