Speaker 0: 35 years ago, Tiananmen Square became a slaughterhouse stacked with bodies of peaceful protesters, students, workers, journalists, and citizens. Their most simple wishes of nothing but the free and democratic China were drowned in blood. One summer, I returned home and asked my mother about 1989. To my surprise, she began to recall vivid memories of her days as a university student, joining local protests, putting on posters, and seeing her best friend taking a free train to Beijing. Till then I realized how June 4th was a collective memory of her generation and how he has become the elephant in the room now in China. 2 years ago, a nationwide protest broke up in China, named after the blank papers we held in our hands. A silent scream symbolizing our anger against the censorship. After the protest, I was criminally detained and thrown into solitary confinement with hundreds of peaceful protesters sharing my fate. I was tortured and sexually harassed and developed audio hallucinations within the single cell. Why are they afraid of candles, flowers, and blank papers? Why are they afraid of people remembering their own history? Now the work with China regressing into a new culture revolution, weaponized with nationalism and patriarchal ideology, cracking down the remaining public space of civil society, arresting journalists and lawyers, and committing cultural genocide against Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Hong Kongers. Our families in China have hostages to force our loyalty to the party. As for Uyghurs, this will mean their families being sent to the so called reeducational camp. The dictator's hunger for power won't stop on its own. The time for action is now. We must act decisively against the atrocities. Stand with us. Stand for justice and stand for humanity.

Speaker 0: Why should they care about what the Chinese Communist Party does thousands of miles away? Why should we worry when the CCP imprisons its critics, silences free speech, and breaks its solemn promise to allow the people of Hong Kong to govern themselves under their own laws. The answer is that the core values of the American people are at stake. When the Chinese Communist Party breaks its word to respect the freedom of Hong Kong through 1 card 1 country, 2 systems, It's breaking its word to the entire world.

So the Chinese Communist Party has shown a willingness to influence elections. I'm heartened by the experience and competence of the federal government in protecting the integrity of our election system. But, I mean, just to understand, if the CCP were to want to change TikTok feeds to bias one candidate or another in the upcoming presidential election, would they be able to do so? My understanding is that under Chinese law, that would be something that they would be permitted to do. And we already know they influence Chinese children to study science and math. Could they be able to suggest to American kids that they use more drugs?

We now have direct evidence of Chinese government officials assessing a product that hosts secret TikTok information, something TikTok CEO swore he had no evidence of when he testified before congress earlier this share. Under ByteDance's ownership, the CCP can use TikTok to spy on Americans at will and influence the content they consume.

One problem that we find with countering CCP's repression on US campuses is that students reporting their peers to the CCP is not an obvious crime. So we don't have a good way to stop it. Mister Zhang, you you face this type of harassment and these threats, to report you, from your fellow students, would you agree that the US government needs some way to deter students from reporting on their fellow students to the Chinese Communist Party? And how do we do that? Speaker 1: I definitely agree that we should do more to deter this kind of behavior because they effectively, by doing this, they are helping at The repression has been carried out by the Chinese government.

The police interrogation methods are brutal, with suspects being chained and beaten in ways that won't leave visible scars.

The punishment for inciting subversion of the Chinese regime starts at 10 years imprisonment and can even lead to the death penalty.

Speaker 0: Mr. Zhang, what do you think would happen to you if you went back to China? I think first of all, when I first enter the country, they will scan my passport on some kind of database and then they will see that I have participated in pro democracy activities outside of China and then, very soon after, I think there will be charges as suppressed and I will be arrested. And at least where I'm from, the interrogation techniques of the police are still very, I would say, barbaric and pre modern. There's many kinds of forced confession that's going on. And, many suspects, merely suspects are chained to radiators for days on end and are beaten in places where scars won't form. And after they go through this whole custodial process, it will be held in front of a biased judiciary system where they enforce a different kind of fairness, a different kind of justice, a different kind of law for people who are accused of political crimes. And then for incitement of the subversion of the Chinese regime. The crime, I believe, starts with the sentencing of 10 years and then the maximum is the death sentence and that gets carried out a lot.

The evidence against China's adherence to WTO commitments is too significant to ignore. A bipartisan report suggests moving away from the PNTR paradigm and establishing a new economic relationship to counter the CCP's economic aggression. The consequences of inaction include deindustrialization, increased reliance on a hostile regime, and mounting debt. It is time to address this issue rather than simply acknowledging it.

Video Transcript AI Summary
United Frontwork is the Chinese Communist Party's global influence campaign and political warfare strategy. It aims to silence criticism of the regime, promote propaganda abroad, and manipulate foreign institutions through covert and illegal operations. The Central United Front Work Department coordinates these efforts both inside and outside of China. It plays a role in policies such as the ongoing genocide in Xinjiang, religious persecution in Tibet, and repression in Hong Kong. United Front networks are deeply embedded in Western society, targeting industries, universities, media, and government. Programs like the 1,000 talents program recruit overseas scientists for economic espionage. Confucius Institutes and Chinese student and scholars associations surveil dissident activity. The CCP also deploys trolls and captures elite American leaders to further its agenda. The threat of United Frontwork is not just overseas, but also at home in the US. Measures to increase foreign agent registration are being introduced in Congress to counter this influence.

Speaker 0: Xi Jinping calls it the Chinese Communist Party's magic weapon. Mao called it one of the 2 weapons the heroic warrior wields to shatter the enemy's positions. Were they talking about nuclear technology, advanced submarines? No. They were talking about United Frontwork, the CCP's global influence campaign and political warfare Frontwork connects the illegal Chinese police station discovered in Manhattan, thugs assaulting overseas Chinese students at American universities, the ongoing genocide in Xinjiang and the 1,000,000,000 of dollars of IP vanishing from US laboratories. Welcome to United Frontwork 101, a crash course in the covert influence and intelligence operations of the Chinese Communist Party. United Front work is the party's strategy to fight unrestricted political wars through 3 main tactics, silencing criticism of the regime globally, promoting propaganda abroad, and manipulating foreign institutions through clandestine and outright illegal operations. Perhaps the best summation of the United Front strategy I've heard is simply 3 words, making idiots useful, sh meaning co opting any individual organization to advance the goals of the party. United Front work has played a central but poorly understood role throughout the CCP's history. Even prior share to the communist takeover in 1949. United Front work was critical for the party's survival by co opting domestic and international forces sympathetic to the CCP's cause. Us. Xi Jinping has now once again elevated the stature of United Front Work. The Central United Front Work Department, which reports directly the CCP Central Committee is the lead organization to coordinate and carry out UF work both inside and outside of China. Inside China. The department has played a central role in formulating, implementing, and defending policies to This includes the ongoing genocide of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, the religious persecution in Tibet, and the repression of Hong Kong under CCP rule. Shod the department's overseas subordinate networks and civic organizations are deeply embedded within Western society in order to destabilize the foundations of our civic life, including, but not limited to American industry, universities, media, and all levels of government. One example of a United Front Network in the US is the 1,000 talents program. And talent as a CCP recruitment scheme for overseas scientists that's been linked to economic espionage. And the United for Work Department runs the official association for its participants. Our own FBI says that this program openly encourages theft of US trade secrets. The Chinese government has even sent thousands of military scientists abroad, including by using this program to gather scientific military know how and obtain sensitive details regarding emerging technologies at elite universities like Harvard. Confucius Institutes shoots were also originally established on American college campuses as part of the UF work system, and it helps support China's military industrial complex. Many Chinese student and scholars association surveil and report on any Chinese student's dissident activity. Pro CCP entities have acquired previously independent Chinese language media abroad. Several overseas Chinese media outlets are owned or controlled by the US work department through Chinese news services, including Chaobao, which operates in the US. Beijing has deployed a 50 cent army of trolls to flood Internet discussion with CCP propaganda on American social media. The CCP strategy of elite capture choose well connected American leaders like those gathered at the gala dinner thrown in Xi Jinping's honor in San Francisco. The dinner demonstrates how effectively the CCP has executed its strategy of elite capture in our own country, from corporate executives to bankers to university presidents to politicians and their families. Civic organizations in the United States connected to UF work also seek to influence and control all individuals abroad who criticize Beijing, including overseas Chinese nationals alongside Uighur, Tibetan, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese Americans. Ship. For example, this past April, the CCP mobilized groups with united front ties such as Alliance for China's Peaceful Unification to join protests against Taiwanese president Tsai Ing wen in New York in California. Additionally, dozens of civic scripts tied to UF work across the United States and Europe help operate secret CCP police stations such as the America Chang Lee Association, which housed an undercover police station in the heart of New York City. These stations are used by the CCP to harass Chinese Americans and enforce their laws abroad, thus violating our sovereignty. Us Americans need to understand that the CCP's united front work is not just a distant over there threat, it's a right here at home threat. That's why here in Congress, on the select committee on the CCP, we have introduced federal law that would increase foreign agent registration requirements. But this is just the beginning. If we do not curtail malign CCP influence on American soil, future generations will look Shpak and asked why we allowed and even invited a magic weapon to be used against

Speaker 0: The new Department of Defense report on China's military readiness will send a chill down your spine. The Chinese Communist Party now has more than 500 nuclear warheads, a 25% increase since 2022. Over the past year, Beijing has built 300 new ICBM silos with the Pentagon projecting the CCP's arsenal may reach 1,000 warheads by 2030 and 1500 by 2035. Now Senior DOD officials are suggesting that the CCP is on track to exceed even those previous projections. In other words, Despite the Biden administration's much bonded diplomatic accommodations to Beijing, the CCP's military buildup is not slowing. It is celebrating. The conventional picture is just as frightening. Beijing's navy now has 370 ships and submarines, up from 340 last year, more than the US Navy. With the CCP announcing plans to increase its defense budget by 7.1% in 2023, we shouldn't expect this trend to reverse anytime soon. They're already on the move. The CCP believes that Taiwan, outside its control, causes national weakness, and Xi Jinping has ordered his military to be prepared to act by 2027. The CCP aircraft violated Taiwanese airspace 1,737 times in 2023. That's an increase of 79% from 2022. Beijing has exported drones and other military equipment to Russia to advance Putin's war in Ukraine. The Biden administration's own DOD report is yet another warning sign.
