This comes as Chinese political-influence actors are developing ties to top Democrats in California and New York as a counterweight to bipartisan China hawkishness in Washington.
The former secretary of state’s meeting with a delegation led by Yang Wanming, the president of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), took place last week in New York City at some point between May 30 and June 1, according to a summary the Beijing-based group posted to its website.

The federal government warns that CPAFFC — which claims to be a “people’s organization” — advances the party’s interests through underhanded means.
Former secretary of state Mike Pompeo ended America’s involvement in the U.S.-China Governors Forum in 2020, alleging that CPAFFC had tried to use it to “directly and malignly influence state and local leaders to promote the PRC’s global agenda.” He characterized CPAFFC as an affiliate of the United Front Work Department, the party bureau that oversees significant parts of the united-front system of political influence — a unique Leninist strategy through which the Party uses political ties as a springboard for espionage and repression in China and abroad.
