The website of the Hudson Institute, http://www.hudson.org, a politically conservative, non-profit American think tank based in Washington, D.C. which was scheduled to host Wednesday, October 4, Guo Wengui, also known as Miles Kwok, China’s most famous billionaire businessman and whistleblower seeking political asylum in the United States, has been under attack today and is not functioning at this moment. Tomorrow’s Hudson Institute event with Guo Wengui was postponed. It is not clear whether the postponement was because of what is believed to be a cyber attack, but Guo Wengui will speak at the Hudson Institute, BBG Watch was told. Hudson Institute President Kenneth Weinstein will not cave in to China, a high-ranking Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) official told BBG Watch. Weinstein is also current chairman of the BBG Board.

Guo Wengui was scheduled to speak at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC on October 4, 2017 after his live interview with the Voice of America (VOA) Mandarin Service was cut short last April on orders of VOA director Amanda Bennett. The controversial decision to shorten the time in which he was expected to reveal to the Voice of America details of massive corruption within the Chinese Communist Party and its influence buying in the United States caused VOA to lose much of its previous credibility and reputation among its Chinese audience.
