By I can’t say I’m surprised, but still it is amazing how openly the Chinese conduct these activities and hardly anyone says a word about it:
The Chinese Communist Party is systematically working its way into the Chinese community in New York. And in the upcoming citywide elections, comptroller candidate John Liu appears to part of its plan.
Its part of a strategy by the CCPs United Front Work Department. Its a group under the control of the Central Committee—the Communist Partys highest decision-making body.
The United Fronts goal? To carry out the political agenda of the CCP outside China. That includes getting overseas Chinese to be unified in buying into pro-CCP viewpoints—and influencing politicians and community organizations. [NTDTV via reader tip]

Didn't Nazi Germany employ a somewhat similar strategy with German-Americans and ethnic Germans in America just before the U.S. entered WWII?

"I can’t say I’m surprised, but still it is amazing how openly the Chinese conduct these activities and hardly anyone says a word about it"
Notice that this report is coming not from a US MSM station but from NTDTV, a company run by ethnic Chinese, who apparently don't like the PRC government very much, judging by the headline stories on their webpage and the mission statement. The board of directors is largely PRC-born and US-educated. Mostly likely this station is backed either by FLG, the US government, a conservative political organization comprised of former government officials, or a combination thereof.

It surely doesn't seem like the big American media is covering this. Must offend their J-school multi-culti sensibilities, to make their synapses fire that way.

No one is reporting this because this guy is pimple on a gnat's ass. If the media picked up every idiot that ran for public office, the news would be on 24/7.

Seems like the Chinese community has his number. The Chinese people are intelligent and didn't arrive on last weeks turnip truck. They have been in the NY area for a long time and are well educated. It may become a matter of Hu uses Hu.

It’s well known that John Liu is supported by the PRC. The guy running for his old job is John x Choe. John hates the USA, and supports the "utopia" in north Korea. John X Choe and Adrian Hong are buddies in the fight against the Yankee dog imperialists, and organizing protests against the US troops in Korea.

China should be more like US, we never interfere in any nation's politics.

The Chinese seem to have a Sun-Tzu worthy national strategy, and are playing the American government like a fiddle.
For example, the Chinese government influenced (or controlled) organisations of ethnic Chinese in America successfully lobbied for the passing of the so called comfort woman resolution (it wasn't only Koreans lobbying for it). The result was America openly criticizing it's most reliable ally in East Asia, and while the Japanese government's reaction was muted, regular people in Japan were offended by it. China is trying to be the ascendant nation of East Asia (as it traditionally was) and wants a rift between the US and Japan. Useful idiots like Congressman Mike Honda are glad to provide them with that assistance.
Ethnic pressure groups whether controlled by foreign governments or not should be a major concern. The U.S. is making enemies everywhere because they essentially take sides in disputes that are no concern of the U.S. merely because ethnic pressure groups mobilize to pressure the U.S. government. Surely this has to stop.

And your point is the US should bury its head in the ground? Yes, our congress is full of idiots, but national policy is another thing.
As far as worrying about "making enemies", the US will make enemies regardless of the direction it takes. (even if they vow to never again do anything). The US is better off being respected for its decisions rather than trying to be liked.

Gerry, how is the U.S. going to be "respected for its decisions" when the system is cynically gamed by people representing ethnocentric and/or foreign interests? All that achieves is foreign nations working hardy with more money for lobbyists and more funding for fifth column groups.
The U.S. makes enemies in proportion to it's taking of sides in foreign policy. Switzerland is a free country, but is involved in the politics of no other, and no one is targeting Switzerland. If the U.S. bombs a house and kills someone's family, the surviving relatives are going to be very angry. Again, something that Switzerland does not have a problem with.
Another example – The Armenian genocide, almost 100 years ago.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_resolu…
Armenian Americans say it was genocide, the Turks say genocide is the wrong description for it. The US is in the middle and will potentially annoy all sides – the Turks if it passes, and the Armenians if it doesn't. Is the U.S. congress qualified to decide on matters of history? Most certainly not. In what sense can the U.S. congress make a "respected" decision? What if the U.S. congress turns out to be wrong? Surely the congress should be about making laws, not about running an ethnic cock fight.

You are right about Mike Honda being a useful idiot:

I read the article and at the bottom it referenced "Recognition of the Armenian Genocide". Switzerland is one of the countries that has recognized the genocide.
It is a political debate as to wether the US should join others in the recognition, it is not US policy toward Turkey (although it may upset people in Turkey).
It is the right of our government representatives to bring up these subjects on behalf of their constituents. There are a number of Armenians living in the US.
The US has made poor moves in the past and probobly will do so in the future. Turkey, as well, hasn't always been kind to the US either.(ref: Turkey denying 2nd front in US invasion of Iraq.) But my argument is not about resolutions that upset some and alienate some others as much as it has to do with US policy toward different countrys.
Many peoples and countries do not like US policy, (Israel/Palistine etc), yet the do respect our position and efforts to try to deal with it. I suspect many Europeans complain daily about the US position, and tell their neighbor "to hell with Israel, let them go back to the gas chambers". Yet if the US did move aside and let the Arabs anihilate the Jews, Europe would be outraged at the US for allowing it.
If as an American citizen, you're looking for "love" from the world, you will never find it if we as a country shrink from our responsibilities.
