At the conference, a CCP official urged America to drop the “enemy narrative” about China.
DNC Chairman Emeritus Howard Dean delivered the American welcome address at a China dialogue involving the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, a think tank identified in congressional commission testimony as “run by Chinese intelligence.”
The Chinese People’s Association for Peace and Disarmament, which co-organized the event, has an equally explicit allegiance. Its charter says it:
“upholds the comprehensive leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.”
According to the American organizer’s account, Dean delivered his welcome virtually on June 23, 2026. The meeting took place in Wenzhou, China. Lu Kang, a vice minister of the CCP’s International Department, delivered the keynote.

Dean, a former Vermont governor and presidential candidate, was named DNC chairman emeritus in 2009.
The think tank at the dialogue, known as CICIR, was specifically named by China intelligence specialist Peter Mattis in 2016 testimony to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. He described it among:
“think tanks run by Chinese intelligence.”
The peace association, known as CPAPD, says it jointly organized the event with the American Arsenault Family Foundation.
The association’s commitment to CCP leadership is written into its governing rules. Its charter requires it to establish a Communist Party organization, conduct Party activities, and provide the conditions necessary for those activities.

And the Party official speaking at Dean’s event had a message for the Americans.
According to the CCP International Department’s readout, Lu urged participants to:
“move beyond the ‘enemy narrative’”
He also called on them to:
“foster a correct strategic perception”
The CCP then portrayed American participants as ready to translate the strategic-stability framework announced after the Trump-Xi summit into:
“practical and feasible policy measures”

The following day brought another forum organized by the same Chinese association. The American delegation’s opening speakers included Center for American Progress senior fellow David Rank and foundation leader Marcel Arsenault, who spoke by video.
Lu again made public perceptions a priority. He blamed “cognitive biases and groundless suspicions” for obstructing relations and urged exchanges that would:
“guide the peoples of both countries to objectively view each other’s development achievements”

It is looking like the DNC is captured by the CCP.
“It is looking like the DNC is captured by the CCP.”
Oone cannot find any corrupt organization that is not supported by the DemocRAT party. They are vermin and sooner or later, you know what must be done to vermin to continue a civilized life.
Captured?
It’s total unconditional surrender.........
(Howard Dean)
Did the DNC “BEG FOR” and receive a loan from the Chinese Communist Party a loan they never have to pay back but if ever in power again give the CCP part of the US ?
We are going to Beijing then to Shanghai then Schenzen then Chongquing then Guangzhou....ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
CommieCon?
i was looking for this reference lol
HOORAY Natalie G. Winters!
The CCP position is for China to maximize profit on international trade.
The Democrat position is to destroy the US economy.
Either of those goals can be achieved without the other, but working together makes both more likely.
I love and support President Trump, but I cringe at the almost certain knowledge that after he meets with Xi, he’s going to announce what a great guy he is and what good friends they are. The only thing that gives me comfort about that is remembering that Trump speaks softly but carries a big stick, and is the king of negotiating.
When I see him that is the very first thing I think of. LOL! Only thing that would have made it better if I had the pic of him holding that kitten. :>)
Was Senator McConnel’s wife there too?
Did the DNC receive a loan from the Chinese Communist
Party........... a loan they never have to pay back?
Under U.S. federal campaign finance law, it is strictly illegal for foreign nationals, foreign governments, or foreign political parties to contribute or donate (including loans) to U.S. political committees and federal election campaigns.
The DNC secretly went Commie under FDR, they’re out in the open now.
The DemonRAT Party of Death U.S.A. has joined the Global Communist/Nazi Party. (Be All You Can Be).
Every time I see Dean’s name I think of Rush doing the Howard Dean scream. LOL
Not so secret after all it seems.
It’s ingrained in their minds, their bodies, culturally, intellectually and by government decree.
To be absolutely frank it only takes one of them....
They believe if you ain't lying, you ain't tryin!....
Wake up smell the coffee main land chinese are a danger to the world with their tofu building and tofu manufacturing and mind sets.
