The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
These organizations can be identified by looking at overlapping membership registrations, regular joint activities, ideological leanings, and meetings with dignitaries that cannot be called without the endorsement of the Communist Party.
The journal also checked names and titles and official documents in Chinese, cooperation projects reported in the state media, and independent reports from various organizations.
We identified a range of activities, from simple efforts to increase China's favor to overt espionage.
It uncovered one such act of espionage in late September of last year.
The officer arrested was a police officer belonging to the NYPD and was a Tibetan immigrant.
He was a naturalized U.S. citizen and army reservist, but he was a Chinese government agent.
The officer was manipulated by an employee of the Chinese Consulate General in New York City, who worked for the Chinese Tibetan Cultural Protection and Development Association, linked to the United Front Work Department.
While the officer was probing Chinese residents in New York City, he also invited Chinese government officials to events at the city's police headquarters.
The list goes on and on.
It seems that countless organizations in the United States have ties to the United Front Work Department.
One of them is the Hundred People's Association, a Chinese-American rights group founded some 30 years ago under the leadership of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, according to reports in the Chinese-speaking media and by the IRGC-affiliated groups.
According to the Nanjing website, the United Front Work Department, the chairman of the Hundred is the well-known businessman Roger Wang (Wang Heng), who is also the honorary chairman of the Nanjing Overseas Friendship Association.
And the Overseas Friendship Association is positioned as a regional branch of the United Front Work Department.
Dealing with China is difficult, says Alvin Y.H. Chan of the American-American Law Institute at New York University. The important thing is not to cross a line that should not be crossed.
