EXC: China’s “Citizen External Propaganda” Pipeline Put Chinese Nationals Inside Congress. They Wrote Lawmaker Speeches, Researched Policy and Responded to American Constituents. Some interns later became Beijing’s experts on Congress.

... Chinese students were placed inside U.S. congressional offices through a years-long program where they were entrusted with work ranging from constituent correspondence to congressional briefings on sensitive U.S.-China matters to drafting speeches for congressmen, according to Chinese-language university records reviewed for this investigation.

...Xin Qiang, now a prominent Fudan University expert on Taiwan, U.S.-China relations and American politics.

Fudan’s official biography says Xin served from November 2001 until May 2002 as a legislative assistant to Rep. Jim McDermott.

His job was not described as answering phones.

According to Fudan, Xin was principally responsible for legislative recommendations and policy evaluations concerning U.S.-China relations and American foreign policy.

He subsequently returned to China and built a career around precisely the machinery he had observed from inside Congress.

Er, one thing. “Chinese” propaganda and influence is only “badlands evil” when it is pro Taiwan, right?

(Communist Chinese control and money and CCP influence in Congress, and dozens of funded trips by governors and mayors and Congressional spouses is PERCECTLY FINE as long as they go directly to Peking.)

Looking at

I find his academic compilations impressive.

As for Natalie Winters, she certainly likes to wear clothes that showcase her boobs.

If they’re staffers in Congress, they’re essentially running the country.
