Is China’s implementation into other countries a cause for concern? The Epoch Times’ investigative reporter Nan Su discusses the situation.
There have been stories as of late revolving around China trying to slowly infiltrate the United States with secret police stations and other reported businesses. But apparently the U.S. isn’t the only place they’re infiltrating.
Earlier this year, The Epoch Times published a piece discussing how Italy activated an Anti-Mafia Commission, in an effort to look further the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) reportedly set up shop within their country. This includes the actions of Chinese gangs, who made their way into Italian society, working alongside corrupted officials.
But apparently that’s just the beginning. A most recent article from Pro Publica revealed that the corruption has now spread throughout Europe, “in a campaign to infiltrate the West, amass wealth and influence, and control diaspora communities as if they were colonies of Beijing’s police state,” according to the author.
Apparently, these Chinese mobsters are reportedly working hand-in-hand with the CCP, in an effort to keep increase infiltration, but keep it operating smoothly. And several Chinese police stations – like the ones previously found in New York City and other locations – have set up a steady presence.
Emmanuel Jourda, a French scholar who specializes in Chinese organized crime, noted that the CCP “takes the most powerful, richest, most successful figures and recognizes them as the nobility of the diaspora.”
Jourda continued, “The deal, spoken or not, is: ‘You gather intelligence on the community, we let you do business. Whether legal or illegal.’”
So should this be a cause of concern? Joining us now to discuss it further is Nan Su, a senior investigative reporter for The Epoch Times. His knowledge in all things China should be useful with this subject.
Q&A:
- So just how eye-opening is this report from Pro Publica, especially following what already took place earlier this year? Do you believe that the CCP is working hand-in-hand with Chinese mafia on successful country infiltration?
- Is this a matter of positioning for something greater, or simply trying to maintain “leverage” in an area, just to see how things are operating? Could there be something else at play here?
- Along with the previous infiltration on the United States, what does this say about the CCP’s corrupted outreach into new areas? Are they setting up for a potential attack, especially considering that they’re allies (at the moment) with Russia?
- Does China’s silence on the matter (not even so much as an official statement) show cause for concern?
- Do you believe the United States should take these reports into consideration with their ongoing Judicial investigation into China? Or will it do any good at this point?
- Where do you see this going in the months ahead? Will the situation potentially get worse?
- Speaking of uneasiness with China, you recently contributed to a new Epoch Times documentary called The Final War. Tell us more about it and why it’s such a compelling subject with everything that’s happening right now.
- Where can we learn more about you and see your work over on The Epoch Times?
