Webinar | Unrestricted Warfare: The CCP’s Plans for an Ethnic Fifth Column?

On August 23rd, the Gatestone Institute published an important article by arguably America’s foremost expert on the Chinese Communist Party and the threat it poses to our country: Gordon Chang. He warned that “…At the Party’s United Front Work Conference, [Xi said] he hoped to unite – in other words, mobilize – ethnic Chinese everywhere to support the CCP, to effectively make every Chinese individual a CCP agent….Xi is serious in seeing all the world’s Chinese as a single unified force.”

Xi’s efforts to turn overseas Chinese into Trojan Horses in America is the subject of this webinar in the CPDC’s “Unrestricted Warfare” series. In addition to Mr. Chang, the panel features other Chinese-Americans. They are foreign-born American patriots who have escaped the CCP’s hell on earth and have no intention of seeing it replicated in their adopted country. They address from their various perspectives the danger posed by the Chinese Communists’ subversion in the overseas Chinese community and how it can best be countered.
