Yet another high-profile Democrat figure is defying national security protocol by privately meeting with Chinese CCP-linked influence groups with no oversight, according to Washington Free Beacon.
Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass privately met with the president of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, Lin Songtian, while the foreign agent took a 10-day tour of the state of California. They reportedly had an "extensive, candid, and friendly" exchange while talking about the relationship between the U.S. and China.
The worst part? Just weeks earlier, U.S. government intelligence issued a warning that Chinese operatives are purposely targeting local officials to push their own political agendas. The intelligence report stated: "Beijing has adjusted by redoubling its efforts to build influence at the state and local level to shift U.S. policy in China’s favor because of Beijing’s belief that local officials are more pliable than their federal counterparts." The meeting has met with intense criticism by experts in national security.
