Democratic Socialists of America’s link to Chinese Communist Party causes internal strife: ‘Isn’t what I signed up for’
NY Post ^ | 1/20/26 | Anna Young

The Democratic Socialists of America is divided over the group’s connection to some Chinese Communist Party officials and efforts to silence criticism of China – with one member complaining it “isn’t what I signed up for,” a new report claims.

The DSA – of which Big Apple Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a member – has cozied up to the CCP and taken Beijing-aligned positions, sparking internal strife over orders to avoid discussing China’s touchy political issues in meetings, according to dozens of internal minutes obtained by Newsweek.

“The materials document a sustained pattern of ideological alignment, narrative filtering, and network overlap consistent with influence conducted at the discursive and organizational level,” said one member, who secretly provided the outlet with the behind-the-scenes records.

“We value democracy and openness, and this directly contradicts that.”

The meeting minutes, which date back to 2021, reveal members openly discussing contacts with China’s ruling party under the banner of “anti-imperialism,” and repeated trips to the East Asian nation to meet with CCP officials.

The documents also show DSA participants urging others to steer clear of certain politically sensitive Communist Party issues, such as China’s threats to invade Taiwan, its Hong Kong security crackdown, and abuses of the Uyghur Muslim minority, the outlet reported.

So Mamdani is a Chinese mouthpiece, eh? Gee wiz, I would never have guessed. No good ever comes out of these extreme left organizations like the DSA and the democrat party.

Chinamen bearing briefcases loaded with cash, get a lot of access to leftist special interests. Globally and locally where apologists for socialism deny existence of Russian and Red Chinese proxies (who get the cash).

I think we’ll find there is very little difference between the DSA and the CCP.
